Privacy Policy

How GCList collects, uses, and protects your information.

Last updated: 5 August 2026 · Draft for product launch — finalize with legal review for each operating country.

Information we collect

  • Account: phone number, display name, language, currency, and location preferences
  • Listings: ad content, photos, targeted cities, and contact details you provide
  • Payments: Stripe transaction metadata (we do not store full card numbers)
  • Usage: device/browser data, approximate location for suggestions, and product analytics

How we use data

  • Provide login via SMS OTP and secure sessions
  • Publish and moderate listings; apply watermarks
  • Send transactional SMS/Push (approvals, alerts, chat)
  • Process EUR fees and promotions through Stripe
  • Improve search, safety, and prevent fraud/abuse

Notifications

You can control SMS and Push preferences in Account → Settings. OTP and critical security messages may still be required for account access.

Cookies & local storage

We use essential cookies/local storage for session, language, and location preferences. Analytics cookies (if enabled) will be disclosed and controllable where required by law.

Sharing

We share data with processors needed to run GCList (SMS gateways, Stripe, cloud hosting, push providers). We do not sell your personal data. Store public profiles and listings are visible to other users by design.

Retention & your rights

We retain account and listing data while your account is active and as needed for legal, security, and accounting purposes. Subject to local law, you may request access, correction, or deletion via support.
