How We Build Profiles

Built from public registers

Every profile on List Directory is a real professional or registered practice listed on an official register. We source data exclusively from official government registers and statutory regulatory bodies that publish information under open public licences (such as Creative Commons CC BY and the UK Open Government Licence).

Our Core Principles

• No Invented Facts: Registration numbers, licence classes, regulator authorities, and grant dates are reproduced strictly from official source registers.
• Active Registrations Only: We monitor public registers and only publish practitioners and businesses holding current, unconditioned licences. Suspended or cancelled registrations are excluded.
• Independent Client Reviews: Star ratings and client feedback reflect authentic on-site submissions. We never scrape or import reviews or aggregate scores from third-party commercial platforms.
• Privacy Safeguards: Personal home addresses, private telephone numbers, and sensitive personal characteristics are never collected or published.
