Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Account details: username, email address, password (encrypted)
• Profile information: avatar, bio, contact preferences
• Listing content: descriptions, prices, screenshots you upload
• Messages sent to other users through our messaging system
• Reviews and ratings you leave for other users

Information collected automatically:

• IP address, browser type, and device information
• Pages visited, time spent on site, and general usage patterns (via analytics tools such as Google Analytics)
• Cookies used to keep you logged in and remember preferences

We do not collect or store payment information, since all payments happen directly between users off-platform.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Display your listings, profile, and ratings to other users
• Enable messaging between buyers and sellers
• Monitor for fraud, scams, and violations of our Terms of Service
• Understand site traffic and improve the platform
• Communicate with you about your account (e.g. password resets, important updates)

3. What We Share

• With other users: your username, profile info, listings, and ratings are visible to other users by design.
• With service providers: we may share data with third parties that help run the platform, such as hosting providers and analytics tools (e.g. Google Analytics). These providers only access what's needed to perform their function.
• We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
• Legal requirements: we may disclose information if required by law, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of our users or the platform.

4. Data Retention

We retain your account and listing information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will remove your personal information within a reasonable time, except where we're required to keep it for legal or security reasons.

5. Your Choices

You can:

• Access and update your profile information at any time
• Delete your account, which removes your personal data from public view
• Opt out of non-essential cookies through your browser settings
• Contact us to request a copy of your data or ask questions about this policy

6. Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your information, including encrypted passwords and secure data storage. However, no online platform can guarantee complete security, and you share information at your own risk.

7. Children's Privacy

This platform is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the updated policy.
