Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 10, 2026

1. Information We Collect

  • Account info: name, email, city, hashed password.
  • Listing data: photos, descriptions, prices, locations you provide.
  • Communications: offers and messages exchanged via the Service.
  • Technical data: IP address, browser type, device information, and cookies for session management.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To operate, secure, and improve the Service.
  • To facilitate transactions between buyers and sellers.
  • To send essential service notifications (account activity, offer updates).
  • To prevent fraud and enforce our Terms of Service.

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We share your data only:
  • With other users when you post a listing or send a message (your name and city are visible).
  • With service providers who help us operate the Service (e.g., hosting, email delivery).
  • When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights.

4. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in (httpOnly session tokens) and to improve site functionality. You can disable cookies in your browser, but some features may not work.

5. Data Security

Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. Sessions use signed JWTs in httpOnly cookies. We use industry-standard security practices but no system is 100% secure — you use the Service at your own risk.

6. Data Retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion at any time via the Contact page. Some records may be retained longer to comply with legal obligations.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. Submit requests via the Contact page.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If we learn we have collected such data, we will delete it.

9. International Users

The Service is operated in the United States. By using it, you consent to the transfer and processing of your data in the US.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the Service.
