Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

To facilitate safe, verified peer-to-peer connections and maintain platform trust, we collect minimal information: your email address (for account creation and notifications), optional display name/username, profile photo (recommended for verification), optional photo ID for enhanced trust badges, location data limited to your general US area for local meetup matching, messages exchanged between users, and basic trade activity logs (e.g., listing views, reports).

We do not collect wallet addresses, private keys, payment details, financial information, or any sensitive crypto data—your privacy and security remain fully in your control.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal information we collect—such as your email, display name, optional profile photo/ID, general US location, messages, and basic activity logs—solely to:

• Create and secure your account.
• Enable local meetup matching and direct messaging.
• Verify users and build community trust (e.g., trust badges).
• Moderate the platform and enforce our zero-tolerance rules.
• Facilitate safe P2P connections and trades.
• Send essential notifications (e.g., new messages, reports, or account updates)

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. Your data (email, profile details, messages, and activity logs) is used only internally to operate the platform, facilitate connections, ensure safety, and enforce rules.

We may disclose information only if legally required (e.g., court order or subpoena) or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and platform. Your privacy stays protected in our simple, user-first ecosystem.

4. Data Security

We take your data security seriously with industry-standard protections: accounts are secured by strong password hashing, two-factor authentication (2FA) is strongly encouraged and easy to enable, all communications and data transfers use TLS encryption, and we never store wallet private keys, seeds, or sensitive crypto details.

Minimal user data is collected and kept on secure, US-based servers with regular security audits and access controls. Your privacy and control remain paramount in our fiat-free, peer-to-peer ecosystem.

5. Your Rights

We respect your privacy and control—your data is minimal, never sold, and you always own your crypto and possessions. For data rights requests, contact support@cryptobarter.com.

• Access your personal data
• Request correction of your data
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to processing of your data
