Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, location, and any content you post (listings, messages, profile details). We also collect usage data automatically, including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and actions taken on the site. This helps us improve the service and detect fraud. If you connect a third-party account (e.g. Google login), we receive basic profile information from that provider.

We use your information to: • Operate and improve the BotSales marketplace • Display your listings to potential buyers • Send transactional messages (listing confirmations, replies) • Send optional marketing emails (you can unsubscribe at any time) • Detect and prevent fraud and abuse • Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We share limited information with service providers who help us operate the platform (hosting, email, analytics) under strict confidentiality agreements. Your public listing information (title, price, photos, location suburb) is visible to all visitors. Your email address and phone number are never shown publicly — they are only shared when you initiate contact with another user.

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you logged in, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use the site. We use Google Analytics to measure site traffic. This data is aggregated and anonymised. You can opt out by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Deleted listings are removed from public view immediately but may be retained in backups for up to 90 days. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us at the Contact page.

We use industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and regular security audits. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password and to report any suspicious activity to us immediately.

Depending on your location, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws including: • Access to your personal data • Correction of inaccurate data • Deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten") • Objection to certain processing • Data portability To exercise any of these rights, please contact us via the Contact page.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by email or by a notice on the site. Continued use of BotSales after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
