i believe unless you state so (ie: in a readme file), they
simply put the software on their servers. this has happened
to myself with my software, like PilotZone, etc...
if you dont wish to have your software placed on a site, then
you should state it in a readme file. your action now? if you
want it removed from PalmCentral - then email them and ask
for them to remove it.

they have created it all for you, they probably do not have
all the information on you (your website etc).. and hence
thats why they dont have the website / email set up.
they have actually created an account for you (this is
what they did for LodeRunner - with me).. you can ask
them for the password.. then go in and change it..
it is listed, but you can modify it if you wish!!
ie: put your new links etc in..

unless you explicitly state so in a readme or something..
they have every rite i guess.
they are a Palm Pilot software "web site".. so it would not
help to have your software there.. (some people go there too you
know!!)..
you dont have to sell with PalmCentral.. but listing should
not be a problem.. contact them and get your password (ie: so
you have something like PGHQ - but with no sales).
cheers.
