Privacy Policy

Last updated: this is placeholder content — replace with reviewed legal copy before going live.

1. Information we collect

• Account information: name, email, phone number, and password (stored encrypted).
• Listing content: photos, descriptions, prices, and location you choose to post.
• Usage data: pages visited, listings viewed, and search activity, used to improve the platform.
• Payment data: processed by our payment partner — we do not store your full card or wallet credentials ourselves.

2. How we use your information

We use your information to operate the platform: showing your listings to other users, processing wallet transactions, sending account-related emails, and moderating content for safety.

3. Photo metadata

When enabled by site settings, we automatically strip EXIF metadata (including GPS location) from photos you upload, since phone cameras often embed this data without sellers realizing it.

4. Sharing your information

We don't sell your personal data. Your name and contact details are shown to other users only in the context of a listing you've posted or a conversation you've started, so buyers and sellers can communicate.

5. Your choices

• You can update your profile and privacy settings at any time from your account.
• You can control which notifications you receive from your notification preferences.
• You can request account deletion, which deactivates your account and hides your listings.

6. Data security

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encrypted passwords and restricted access to sensitive documents (like identity verification uploads, which only admins can view).

7. Contact

Privacy questions or requests can be sent via the Help Center.
