This page explains what information we collect, why, and how it's used. We process personal information in line with South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA).
As a data subject under POPIA, you have the right to: access the personal information we hold about you; ask us to correct or update it; object to certain processing; and request deletion, subject to information we're legally required to keep (e.g. transaction records for dispute resolution). To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details in section 9 — we aim to respond within a reasonable time and in line with POPIA's requirements.
The information officer responsible for POPIA compliance on this platform can be reached at the email address in section 9.
We use this information to run the marketplace: showing your listings to buyers, letting buyers and sellers contact each other, tracking orders, computing seller ratings, and enforcing our Terms of Service.
Listing photos and store logos are stored via our hosting provider (Supabase) and are publicly accessible via their URL, since they're needed to display your listings.
Your data is stored using Supabase (a third-party database and authentication provider). We don't sell your data to advertisers or third parties.
We use your browser's local storage to remember things like your selected university/campus, recently viewed listings, and shopping cart — this stays on your device and isn't shared with third parties or used for advertising.
We may update this policy occasionally. Continued use of the platform after changes means you accept the updated policy.
