Privacy Policy

The formal data-controller notice required under UK GDPR Article 13/14. This page is a placeholder while a UK data-protection adviser reviews the final version. Our day-to-day operational practice is already published in plain English at Your data & rights.

What this document will cover (checklist for review)

  • Identity and contact details of the controller (registered company, ICO registration number, DPO contact if applicable).
  • What personal data we collect, grouped by source: account signup, listings, messages, payments, identity verification, support contact, automatic technical data.
  • Purpose and lawful basis for each processing activity (contract, legitimate interest, legal obligation, consent), per UK GDPR Article 6.
  • Special-category data (we do not intentionally collect any) and our position if it appears in user-uploaded content.
  • Recipients and sub-processors: Supabase (hosting + database). Any future additions (email, payments, analytics) listed here before they go live.
  • International transfers: Supabase region, SCCs / UK IDTA where relevant, and the safeguards in place.
  • Retention periods per data class, cross-referenced to the operational retention schedule.
  • Your UK GDPR rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, objection, withdraw consent, complain to the ICO) and how to exercise them.
  • How we handle data when you delete your account, including the 30-day grace window and the items held under legal-obligation carve-outs (Art. 17(3)).
  • DAC7 / UK Platform Operator Reporting: when we report seller information to HMRC and what is reported.
  • Cookies and similar technologies, with a link to the Cookie Policy.
  • How we notify you of material changes and how to view previous versions.
