Information We Collect
Account and profile information. When you register for an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, and password. If you complete your profile or list a property, we may also collect your phone number, business or contact name, and other contact details you choose to provide.
Listing content. If you post a listing, we collect the information you submit about the property, including its description, price, location, category, and any photos or other media you upload.
Payment information. If you purchase a listing package or membership plan, your payment is processed by a third-party payment processor, such as Stripe or PayPal. We do not store your full card number on our servers; we retain only the transaction details necessary for order history and support, such as the amount charged and date.
Communications. If you contact a seller through the site, or use our contact form, we collect the information included in that message so it can be delivered and, where applicable, so we can respond to you.
Usage and technical data. Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device information, and the pages you view, generally through cookies and similar technologies (see “Cookies and Analytics” below).
