Privacy Policy
Last updated: [date]
This policy explains what personal data [Company legal name] (“ShareIt”, “we”) collects, why, and your choices. Contact: [privacy email], [postal address].
What we collect
- Account: name, email address, and your password (stored only as a secure hash).
- Listings: item details, photos, location you enter, price, and which circles can see them.
- Activity: rental requests, dates, messages, reviews, reports, blocks, and circle memberships.
- Payments: handled by Stripe. We receive payment status and amount, not your full card number.
- Technical: a session cookie to keep you logged in, and server logs (IP address, browser) for security.
How we use it
- To run the service: show items to the right circles, process rentals and payments, deliver messages.
- To send emails you need: email confirmation, password resets, and rental notifications.
- To keep people safe: review reports, prevent fraud and abuse.
- We do not sell your personal data, and we don't use advertising trackers.
Who can see what
- Your name, rating and reviews are visible to other members.
- Your items are visible only to the circles you choose.
- Your email is shared with the other person only once a rental is accepted or paid.
- Service providers who process data for us: hosting ([provider]), email delivery ([Resend/other]) and payments (Stripe).
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open. When you delete your account we remove your name, email, password, listings, photos and circles. Rentals and messages you had with others stay in their history, shown as “Deleted user”. Payment records are kept as long as tax law requires ([period]).
Your rights
Depending on where you live (for example under GDPR or CCPA), you may have the right to access, correct, export or delete your data, and to object to some uses. You can edit or delete your account from the Account page, or email [privacy email]. You can also complain to your local data protection authority.
Security
We use encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls. No system is perfectly secure. If we learn of a breach affecting you, we will tell you as the law requires.
Children
ShareIt is not for people under [18], and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes
We'll post updates here and tell you about important changes by email.
