Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal data LAAR Market collects when you browse, create an account, post a listing or contact another user, and what we do with it.

The data controller is LEGAL ENTITY NAME at REGISTERED ADDRESS. This is a published draft and has not yet been legally reviewed.

Account data. Your name, email address, and — if you choose to add them — a profile photo, phone number, country and city, and optional profile details such as date of birth, nationality and gender. Passwords are handled by our authentication provider and are never visible to us in readable form.

Listing data. Everything you publish: title, description, category attributes, price, photos, and the location or map pin you choose. Listings are public.

Messages and reviews. Conversations between buyers and sellers, offers, attachments, reviews you write, and abuse reports you submit.

Verification data. If you verify a phone number, we store the number and a short-lived hashed code used to confirm it.

Support data. If you use the Report a Problem form, we store your message, your email address, the page path you were on, and your selected country and language. When a client IP address is available for the request, we also store a keyed one-way hash of it, used only to limit abuse of the form; this path does not store the raw IP address.

Usage data. We record a view counter per listing. Any further technical or diagnostic logging kept by our infrastructure providers is described in LOGGING AND DIAGNOSTICS INVENTORY — TO BE CONFIRMED.

• To create and secure your account and sign you in.
• To publish your listings and let buyers and sellers contact each other.
• To show verification badges and seller reputation.
• To review reports, moderate content and prevent fraud and abuse.
• To reply to your support requests.
• To operate, maintain and improve the marketplace.

Where a legal basis is required, we rely on LEGAL BASES PER PURPOSE under APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW.

Your listings, your public seller profile (name, photo, city, country, verification badges, reputation) and reviews you write are visible to anyone.

Your email address is never shown publicly. A listing phone number is only released when you enable calls or WhatsApp on that listing, and only to signed-in users who explicitly request it through a controlled server call — it is not published in the listing data itself.

Messages are technically readable only by the two participants of a conversation. Whether, and under what conditions, staff may access message content for moderation or legal reasons is set out in MODERATION ACCESS POLICY — TO BE CONFIRMED.

Our position on selling or sharing personal data for advertising or other commercial purposes is DATA SALE / SHARING POSITION — PENDING LEGAL REVIEW. Today, data is shared with the service providers that run the platform:

• Hosting, database, authentication and file storage providers.
• An SMS provider, used only to deliver phone verification codes.
• Additional processors listed in SUBPROCESSOR LIST.

We may disclose data where required by law or to protect users from imminent harm, as permitted by APPLICABLE LAW.

Data is hosted by our infrastructure providers in HOSTING REGION(S), with transfers governed by TRANSFER MECHANISM.

We keep account, listing, message and support data for as long as your account is active, and after that for the periods set out in RETENTION SCHEDULE — TO BE CONFIRMED. Deleting a listing marks it as deleted and removes it from the marketplace; how long such records are kept, and whether they can be restored, is covered by the same RETENTION SCHEDULE — TO BE CONFIRMED.

You can edit or delete your listings and update your profile at any time. An account-deletion request process is ACCOUNT DELETION PROCESS — NOT YET ESTABLISHED.

Depending on where you live you may also have rights to access, correct, export or restrict the use of your data, as described in RIGHTS AND REQUEST PROCESS.

We use access controls so that each account can reach only its own private data, restrict message content to conversation participants, and keep uploaded files behind per-user access rules. No service can promise perfect security; please report anything suspicious through the Support section.

The minimum age for using LAAR is MINIMUM AGE — PENDING LEGAL REVIEW, and the handling of accounts that fall below it is set out in UNDERAGE ACCOUNT HANDLING — PENDING LEGAL REVIEW.
