• Personal Information You Provide: When you register as a buyer or vendor, place orders, or contact support, we may collect your name, business name, email, phone number, billing/shipping address, payment details (processed securely via Stripe), and tax ID (for B2B compliance).
• Automatically Collected Data: Device information (IP address, browser type, OS), usage data (pages viewed, time spent, referral sources), and cookies/analytics data (via tools like Google Analytics).
• Payment Information: We do not store full credit card or bank details; Stripe handles all payment processing (see their privacy policy for details).
• Vendor-Specific Data: Business verification documents, bank account info for payouts (via Stripe Connect), and product listings.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To provide and improve our services (process orders, facilitate vendor-buyer connections, handle payments/holds).
• To communicate with you (order confirmations, support responses, policy updates).
• To prevent fraud, enforce our policies, and comply with legal obligations (e.g., INFORM Consumers Act seller verification, tax reporting).
• For analytics and site improvement (aggregate data only).
• To send marketing emails (you can opt out anytime).

3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share it with:

• Service providers (Stripe for payments, shipping carriers, cloud hosting).

• Legal authorities if required by law or to protect rights/safety.
• Affiliates or in case of business transfer (merger, acquisition).

5. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures (encryption, access controls, secure hosting) to protect your data. However, no system is 100% secure—report any suspected breach immediately.

6. Children's Privacy
