  • Device information: Device type, screen resolution, and browser settings
  • Location data: General geographic location based on IP address (city/region level only)

Notifications are delivered through your browser's built-in push service and may pass through infrastructure operated by your browser vendor (Google, Mozilla, Apple, etc.) in encrypted form.

1.4 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use only essential cookies that are necessary for the Site to function:

  • Authentication cookies: To keep you logged in and secure your session
  • Location preference cookies: To remember your selected community location

We do not use: Third-party tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or analytics cookies from external services. All analytics are performed in-house using our own systems.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve the Site
  • Create and manage your account
  • Display content relevant to your selected location
  • Send you push notifications about activity relevant to you, such as when someone expresses interest in your listing, RSVPs to your meetup, or other interactions with your content (only if you have opted in to push notifications)

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties.

We do not share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may disclose your information only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Public content: Content you post publicly (groups, events, meetups, news, classifieds listings) is visible to other users. This includes listing titles, descriptions, images, prices, categories, tags, and your username.
  • Contact sharing between users: When a user expresses interest in your classifieds listing (for sale, housing, jobs, resumes, or services), your username is shared with them and their username is shared with you. Additionally, each user's email and/or phone number may be shared based on their individual contact sharing preferences, which can be configured in account settings. You control whether your email and phone number are visible to other users through these settings.
  • Push notification delivery: When we send you a push notification, the encrypted notification payload passes through your browser vendor's push service (e.g., Google, Mozilla, Apple). The content is encrypted end-to-end and cannot be read by the push service provider.
  • Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or governmental authority
  • Protection of rights: To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our users or the public

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit (HTTPS), secure password hashing, and access controls.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
