Sharing of Information
We do not sell personal information. Some information may be visible to other users as part of the app’s intended features, such as item listings, listing photos, chat messages sent to another user, and user-provided request details. We may also use service providers to operate hosting, email delivery, storage, support, security, and app infrastructure.
Location Data
Location permission is used to show nearby items, rental requests, and local pickup areas. You can disable location permission in your device settings. Some location-based features may not work properly if location permission is disabled.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep information only as long as needed to provide the app, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and maintain service records. Users can request account deletion in the app or by contacting support. When an account is deleted, personal information may be deleted or anonymized, and related listings may be hidden where applicable.
Your Privacy Choices
You may request access, correction, deletion, or account removal by using the app’s account tools or by contacting us. You can also manage permissions such as location and photos through your device settings.
