  • Improvements — analyse usage patterns (in aggregate) to improve features and fix bugs.
  • Legal compliance — meet our obligations under applicable law, including responding to lawful requests from authorities.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • With other users — your display name, general location, and listing content are visible to other users of the Platform as part of normal marketplace operation. Your email address is never displayed publicly.
  • Service providers — we use trusted third-party providers to help operate the Platform, including Cloudinary (photo storage) and our database and hosting infrastructure. These providers process data only on our behalf and under confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal requirements — we may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of WantedPost, our users, or the public.
  • Business transfers — if WantedPost is acquired or merges with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before your data is subject to a different privacy policy.

5. Cookies & Local Storage

We use browser local storage to keep you signed in between sessions (authentication token) and to remember your cookie consent preference. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

You can clear local storage at any time through your browser settings, which will sign you out of your account. You can also decline cookies via the consent banner shown on your first visit.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. Want and offer data is retained for 30 days after it expires or is deleted to allow for dispute resolution, then permanently removed. Anonymised aggregate usage data may be retained indefinitely.

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by emailing privacy@wantedposts.com. We will process deletion requests within 30 days.

7. Data Security

We use industry-standard security measures including bcrypt password hashing, JWT authentication with expiry, HTTPS-only connections, parameterised database queries, and rate limiting on all API endpoints. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Children's Privacy

WantedPost is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn we have collected data from a person under 18, we will delete it promptly. Please contact us at privacy@wantedposts.com if you believe we have done so.
