Why we collect it
To verify that members are real people, to match buyers and sellers, to enable direct payment between them, to calculate referral bonuses, and to investigate disputes and suspected fraud.
Who we share it with
Banking details are shared with a single counterparty for a single matched transaction. Identity documents are visible only to reviewing administrators. We do not sell personal information, and we disclose it to third parties only where the law requires it.
