Privacy Policy
What we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Last updated: 19 May 2026
What we collect
When you create an account or list an item, we collect the information you give us:
- Login email and password (passwords are hashed, never stored in plain text)
- Public profile details: username, name, avatar, bio, optional contact email and phone
- For dealers: business name, NZBN, address, contact details
- Listings you post and messages you send
- Ratings you give and receive
We also collect operational data:
- Server logs (IP, user agent, timestamps) for security and debugging
- Cookies needed to keep you signed in (session cookies set by Supabase)
- Aggregate usage analytics via Google Analytics (pages viewed, approximate location, device and browser type) — see Cookies below
We do not sell your personal information, and we don't run third-party advertising trackers. We do use Google Analytics to understand how the marketplace is used so we can improve it.
How we use it
- To run the marketplace — show your listings, deliver your messages, surface ratings
- To verify dealer accounts
- To respond to support requests
- To detect abuse, fraud, and security incidents
- To send transactional notifications (new enquiry, message, rating)
Who we share it with
We share information with:
- Supabase — our hosting and database provider; processes data on our behalf under their privacy terms
- Google — Google Analytics processes usage data on our behalf to give us aggregate traffic and behaviour reporting, under Google's privacy terms
- Other users, where you've chosen to make information public (your username, listings, ratings, and any contact details you added to your profile)
- Authorities, when required by NZ law (e.g. responding to a valid court order)
Cookies
We use a small number of essential cookies to keep you signed in. We also use Google Analytics, which sets analytics cookies to measure aggregate usage — these are not strictly essential, and you can block them with your browser settings or a tracker blocker without losing access to the site. We don't use third-party advertising cookies.
Your choices
- You can update your profile and notification preferences at any time
- You can ask us to export or delete your account data — email support
- You can withdraw or delete listings you've posted
