Privacy Policy

This is a frontend policy draft for the Local Trade Network marketplace and is not legal advice.

Information You Provide

You may provide your name, email address, account details, shop information, and message content when you create an account or use the contact form.

Account and Profile Information

Profile details may include buyer or seller role, shop name, listings, reviews, and other information you choose to display on the marketplace.

ZIP Code and Approximate Location

ZIP code and mileage radius are used to help surface nearby listings and local sellers. This is approximate location information rather than exact device location.

Orders and Transactions

Order details, product selections, and transaction status may be used to support marketplace operations, customer service, and seller fulfillment.

Listings, shop profiles, ratings, reviews, and other marketplace content you submit may be displayed to help buyers make decisions.

Cookies and Local Storage

The site may use browser storage or similar technologies to keep the frontend working smoothly, remember preferences, and maintain session state.

How Information Is Used

Service Providers

The marketplace may rely on service providers such as hosting, analytics, authentication, and payment processing tools to run the site.

Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational steps may be used to help protect information, but no online system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You may choose what you submit publicly, manage your account details, and contact support if you need help with account access or privacy questions.

Children's Privacy

This marketplace is intended for general use and is not directed to children. If a child has provided information, please contact support so it can be reviewed.

Policy Changes

This draft may be updated as the platform evolves. The latest posted version should be treated as the current policy summary.
