Privacy policy

What we collect

• Account data: name, email, country and city, and your phone number if you add it.
• Listings: text, photos, price and location. We strip hidden data from photos (such as where they were taken) when you upload them.
• Messages between you and other users.
• Technical data to protect the platform: IP address and sign-in attempts, kept for a short time.

What others can see

Your name, join date and listings are public. A listing's phone number is shown to signed-in users who tap “Show phone number”. Your email address is never shown.

How long we keep data

• Listings and their photos are deleted automatically after 14 days, or immediately when you delete them.
• Messages stay in your account and the other person's account, so both of you keep the conversation history.
• When you delete your account we delete your listings and personal data; your past messages remain with the other person under “Deleted user”.

Cookies

We only use necessary cookies: your sign-in session, “remember me”, a security token for the sign-in and sign-up forms, and the country whose deals you browse, so the home page can show deals from your country. No advertising cookies. Your browser also keeps a few small preferences, such as hiding the suggestion to view a page in English.

Sharing

We never sell your data. We use service providers (hosting and email delivery) only to run the platform, and may disclose data when a competent legal authority requires it.

Your rights

You can edit your details or delete your account at any time from Settings. For any question or request about your data: info@rootlco.com, or the contact page.
