1. Introduction

My Apps UK are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our Service. Please read this policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the service.

2. What Information We Collect

We collect information that identifies, relates to, describes, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with you ("Personal Data").

A. Information You Provide to Us

Account Information: When you register for an account, we collect your full name, email address, and password.

Profile Information: You may choose to provide additional information for your user profile, such as a phone number, address, and profile picture.

Listing Information: When you list an item for sale, we collect all the information you provide about the item, including title, description, category, pricing, location, and images.

Purchase Information: When you purchase an item or receive an order, we collect information related to the transaction, including dates, messages, and names of the parties involved.

Communications: We collect information when you communicate with us or with other users through the Service's messaging features.

B. Payment Information

We use Stripe, a third-party payment processor, to handle all payments. When you provide payment information (like credit card numbers or bank account details for payouts), this information is sent directly to Stripe. We do not store your full payment card details on our servers. We may, however, receive information from Stripe related to your transactions, such as the last four digits of your card, transaction IDs, and your Stripe account status (e.g., whether your onboarding for payouts is complete).

C. Information We Collect Automatically

Usage Data: We automatically collect information about how you interact with our Service. This may include your IP address, browser type, operating system, pages viewed, links clicked, and the dates and times of your visits.

Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies to operate and administer our Service and to improve your experience. A "cookie" is a piece of information sent to your browser by a website you visit. You can control the use of cookies at the individual browser level.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

To provide, operate, and maintain our Service.

To create and manage your account and process your transactions.

To facilitate communication between users.

To send you administrative information, such as updates, security alerts, and support messages.

To respond to your comments and questions and provide customer service.

To monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve our Service.

To enforce our Terms and Conditions and other policies.

For compliance purposes, including as required by law, regulation, or legal process.

4. How We Share Your Information

We may share your Personal Data in the following situations:

With Other Users: We share information between users to facilitate a purchase transaction. For example, once an order is confirmed, we will share contact details (such as name, email, and phone number) between the seller and the buyer.

With Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors and service providers that perform services for us, such as payment processing (Stripe), cloud hosting, and email delivery. These providers will only have access to your information to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose.

For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we believe it's required by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to protect our rights, property, or the safety of our users or the public.

Business Transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your Personal Data may be transferred.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We will retain your Personal Data for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law (such as for tax, accounting, or other legal requirements). When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymize it.

The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data.

The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
