Privacy Policy

What we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

Draft. This policy is a working starting point, not a finished legal document. Get review by counsel before treating as binding.

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)

We do not sell your personal information. We don't currently run third-party advertising trackers.

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
  • 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 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
