Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect:

• Account information: name, email address, password, date of birth, and zip code
• Contact preferences: phone number, preferred contact method, and messaging app links (Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Messenger) — only if you choose to provide them
• Content you create: listing titles, descriptions, photos, pricing, venue details, and locations

2. How We Store Your Data

Your data is stored in a database hosted on a private server. We use industry-standard practices to protect your information. Passwords are hashed and never stored in plain text.

3. Contact Information Protection

Your contact information (phone number, email, messaging app links) is never included in the public HTML of any page. Contact details are only revealed when another logged-in user explicitly requests them through our secure contact reveal system. This is a deliberate design choice to protect your privacy.

4. Activity Logging

We log certain user actions for security and platform integrity. Logged events include:

• Account creation and logins
• Contact information reveals (who requested whose contact info)
• Listing and venue creation, edits, and deletions

This logging helps us identify abuse, protect users, and maintain the safety of the platform.

5. Email Communications

We use a third-party email service to send you:

• Email verification messages
• One-time login codes
• Listing expiration reminders
• Notifications when another user nudges you to add contact information

These are transactional emails necessary for the operation of the service. We do not send marketing emails through your account.

Separately, our homepage offers an optional email newsletter signup powered by Buttondown. This is entirely separate from your account and you can unsubscribe at any time.

6. We Do Not Sell Your Data

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Your data is used solely to operate neosho.sale.

7. Data Retention

• Listings: Expire after 30 days and can be renewed. Expired listings are hidden from public view. Listings that have been expired for one year are permanently deleted.
• Accounts: Your account and associated data are retained until you request deletion.
• Activity logs: Retained indefinitely for security purposes.

8. Cookies and Local Storage

neosho.sale does not use tracking cookies. We store the following in your browser's local storage:

• Authentication token: Keeps you logged in between page visits
• Theme preference: Remembers your light/dark mode choice

We do not use any third-party analytics or tracking services.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access and update your personal information through your dashboard settings
• Choose which contact methods are visible to other users
• Request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at [email protected]

10. Children's Privacy

neosho.sale is not intended for anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Effective Date" at the top of this page. Continued use of neosho.sale after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
