This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, create a listing, or use our communication tools.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us, as well as data automatically generated when you use our platform.
- Account Information: Name, email address, password, and phone number when you register.
- Listing Content: Any information you choose to include in a classified ad, including descriptions, photos, prices, contact details, and location data.
- Communications: Messages, inquiries, or chat history between buyers and sellers sent through our internal messaging system.

2. How We Use Your Information
We use your data to power the marketplace, maintain security, and deliver a relevant user experience:
- To publish, display, and manage your classified listings.
- To facilitate secure communications between buyers and sellers.
- To monitor, detect, and prevent scam ads, fraudulent activities, and spam.
- To process payments for premium advertisement features.
- To deliver targeted advertisements and analyze website traffic.
3. How Your Information is Shared
Because we are a public marketplace, your data is shared in the following ways:
- Public Listings: Any information you write into a listing description, along with the contact options you select, will be publicly visible to any visitor on the internet.
- Service Providers: We share necessary data with hosting partners, payment processors, analytics providers, and fraud-detection services.
- Legal Obligations: We may disclose your information to law enforcement if required to do so by a valid legal subpoena or to protect the safety of our users.
4. Data Retention and Security
We retain your personal information only as long as your account is active or as necessary to fulfill marketplace transactions, resolve disputes, and enforce our terms. While we implement standard digital security measures, no data transmission over the internet is completely bulletproof.
5. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your geographical location (such as the EU under GDPR or California under CCPA), you may hold specific privacy rights:
- Access and Export: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction and Deletion: You can edit your listings, close your account, or request that we delete your private data.
- Opt-Out: You can disable location tracking in your browser/device settings or opt-out of marketing emails.

Our classified platform is intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age of 13.
