Privacy Policy

Last updated: {LAST_UPDATED}

This Privacy Policy explains how BostonBargains ("BB", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and services.

1. Information We Collect

  • Account information — such as your display name and email address when you register;
  • Listing information — the content, photos, and contact details you include in your postings;
  • Usage information — basic technical data such as your IP address, browser type, and pages viewed, used to keep the Service secure and working;
  • Optional information — such as a home address you provide to power distance-based search filters.

2. How We Use Information

  • To operate, maintain, and improve the Service;
  • To enable postings, alerts, and member-to-member messaging;
  • To protect against fraud, abuse, and security threats;
  • To communicate with you about your account or postings.

3. Email Privacy

BB uses relay email addresses for listings so that you can be contacted without revealing your real email address. We do not display your personal email to other users.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us operate the Service, or when required by law, or to protect the rights and safety of BB and its users.

5. Cookies

BB uses cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in and to understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

6. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as needed to provide the Service and for legitimate business or legal purposes. Guest listings and their associated data are removed after the listing expires.

7. Your Choices

You may update your account information or delete your account at any time from your settings. You may also unsubscribe from non-essential emails.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version with a new "last updated" date.
