Privacy Policy — ads-tn

Last updated: [DATE]

⚠️ DRAFT — review before publishing. Placeholders in [BRACKETS] need real values. This is a generic starting point, not legal advice — have someone verify it meets applicable law (e.g. Tunisian data protection law, GDPR if you have EU users) before treating it as final.

1. Who we are

2. Information we collect

Account information — when you register, we collect your name, email address, and password (stored encrypted, never in plain text). Phone number is optional.

Listing content — when you post an ad, we collect the ad title, description, price, category, location, and any photos you upload.

Login via Facebook / Google — if you choose to sign in with Facebook or Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture from that provider, as permitted by the permissions you grant during login. We do not receive your Facebook/Google password.

Automatically collected data — like most websites, we log IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited, for security and to keep the site working correctly.

Cookies — we use cookies to keep you logged in and remember your preferences. See Section 6.

3. How we use your information

• To create and manage your account
• To display your listings to other users
• To let buyers contact sellers (via our contact form, which does not expose your email/phone publicly unless you choose to show it)
• To send account-related emails (registration confirmation, password reset)
• To moderate listings and prevent fraud/spam
• To improve the site (aggregated, non-identifying usage data)

We do not sell your personal data to third parties.
