Last updated: February 1, 2025.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect personal data of users of the mobile app and web service (the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to this policy.

1. Data Controller

The data controller is the owner of the Service. For any questions related to the processing of personal data, you can contact us via the support section in the app or through the contact details provided in the app.

2. What data we collect

We may process the following categories of data:

• Account data: username (login), email address, phone number (during registration or provided in the profile).
• Profile: date of birth, country, city, address, postal code (if you provide them).
• Media: profile photo (avatar), listing photos, and attached files in chats and inquiries.
• Device and usage data: device type, OS version, IP address, log data to ensure Service operation and security.
• Content: listing texts, chat messages, support requests, and any other information you voluntarily post in the Service.

3. Purposes of processing

Data is processed for the following purposes:

• providing and improving the Service (account, listings, chats, orders, favorites);
• identifying the user and communicating with you (notifications, support replies);
• organizing and running auctions as a marketing tool for promoting goods and services in the Service, including displaying participation, bid, and auction result data to the extent necessary for auction operation;
• ensuring security, preventing fraud, and enforcing usage rules;
• complying with legal requirements and responding to authorized requests.

4. Legal grounds

Processing is based on: performance of a contract (Terms of Service), your consent (where requested separately), the legitimate interest of the controller (security, system analytics, and marketing mechanics, including auctions), and legal obligations under applicable law, including UAE personal data legislation where applicable. By participating in an auction, you confirm your consent to the processing and display of participation data (profile name/identifier, bid amount and time, status, and result) to the extent necessary to conduct the auction.

5. Storage and protection

Data is stored on secure servers with restricted access. We apply organizational and technical measures to protect against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. Data is transmitted via secure channels (HTTPS). Retention periods are determined by processing purposes and legal requirements; once those purposes are achieved or upon your request, data may be deleted or anonymized.

6. Sharing with third parties

We do not sell your personal data. Sharing with third parties is only possible:

• with service providers that help us operate the Service (hosting, notification delivery, etc.), provided they comply with confidentiality obligations;
• when required by law or by authorized government bodies.

7. Your rights

Under applicable law, you have the right to:

• access information about which of your data is processed;
• request correction of inaccurate data;
• request deletion of data or restriction of processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• file a complaint with a data protection authority.

To exercise these rights, contact support through the app or via the contacts listed in the app.

8. Minors

The Service is not intended for individuals under the age at which the law permits independent registration for such services. If we learn that we have collected data from minors without the consent of legal representatives, such data will be deleted.
