In order to deliver our services and customer assistance, we collect personal information about our users. Websites, phone applications, email, and telephone are some of the channels we use to deliver our services and customer support. 

The personal data we collect may be influenced by the platform, product, service, or support you use.

Not all of the information we seek, collect, and process is “Personal Information”, this includes the vast majority of “User Generated Content” that you provide us with the goal of sharing with other users during a transaction. 

This privacy policy does not apply to such “Non-Personal Information.” However, because non-personal data can be aggregated or linked to personal data, it will be viewed as personal data in this context, as a result, for the sake of transparency, this privacy policy will include both types of information.

In some cases, users may provide us with personal information without our asking for it, or by using methods that are not intended for the collection of specific types of information. While we may take reasonable precautions to protect this data, the user may have circumvented our systems, processes, and controls, and thus the information provided will not be subject to this privacy policy.

In some cases, users may provide us with personal information via platforms beyond our control, such as social media or forums. While any information collected by us is subject to this Privacy Policy, the platform through which it was communicated is subject to its own.

We collect personal information in the following ways

Users can initiate a transaction with non-users by providing contact information such as an email address, physical address and phone number. In these cases, we will collect and store the information in order to contact the non-user.

Personal information about users may be collected from public sources in some cases.

A third party or partner may initiate transactions on your behalf; in these cases, the information available is the same as that which we may request, collect, and process from individual users. While our partners’ platforms are subject to their own privacy policies, any personal information transferred to our platform is treated and protected as if it were submitted by a user.

You may come across links to third-party websites on our website. These links could be from us, or they could be generated by other users.
