Privacy Policy

We collect information you provide and information generated when you use PNGMarket, including:

• Account information: name, email, phone number, password, and profile details you submit when you register or update your account.
• Listing information: titles, descriptions, photos, prices, categories, location, and contact preferences you include in ads.
• Usage information: pages viewed, searches, device/browser type, IP address, and approximate location used to operate and improve the service.
• Messages: content you send through our messaging or contact forms so buyers and sellers can communicate.
• Payment information: if you buy premium features, limited billing details may be processed by our payment providers (we do not store full card numbers).

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, measure traffic, and improve performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may limit certain features.

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with:

• Other users, when you publish a listing or choose to share contact details
• Service providers who help us host, email, analyse, or process payments
• Authorities when required by law or to protect rights, safety, or the platform

Listings and public profile fields you publish are visible to visitors. Think carefully before including personal phone numbers, home addresses, or sensitive details in ads. You can edit or remove listings from your account at any time.

We keep account and listing data for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service, resolve disputes, enforce policies, and meet legal requirements. You may request deletion of your account; some records may be retained where the law requires.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organisational measures to protect personal data. No online service is completely secure — please use a strong password and keep your login details private.

Depending on applicable law, you may request to access, correct, update, or delete personal information we hold about you. You can update most account details in your profile settings, or contact us using the details below.

PNGMarket is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Our site may link to third-party websites or services. Their privacy practices are their own. We encourage you to read their policies before sharing information with them.

PNGMarket is operated for users in Papua New Guinea. If you access the service from outside PNG, you understand that your information may be processed in PNG or other locations where our providers operate.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Effective Date” and version at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the platform after an update means you accept the revised policy.

• Personal information: information that identifies or can reasonably identify you.
• Public information: content you choose to publish in listings or your public profile.
• Private information: account credentials, private messages, and settings not shown publicly.
