Information we collect

The platform may collect account details, business profile information, machinery listing details, enquiry messages, service requests, quotes, project communication and notification preferences.

Uploaded listing images and documents may also be stored where users provide them.

How information is used

Information is used to operate the marketplace, display listings, manage enquiries, support service-provider matching, send notifications, improve user experience and protect platform integrity.

Admin activity may be logged for accountability and operational safety.

Sharing information

Information may be shared between relevant buyers, sellers and service providers where needed to process enquiries, quotes, introductions or project activity.

We do not intentionally publish private contact details unless they are provided for that purpose or included in public profile/listing information.

Security and retention

The platform uses database-backed sessions, protected admin areas and restricted internal cron routes.

Records may be retained where required for marketplace history, audit logs, disputes, operational records or legal compliance.

Future updates

This launch privacy page should be expanded into a full solicitor-reviewed privacy policy before large-scale public promotion, paid advertising or advanced analytics deployment.
