Privacy Policy

Sales you post are public

Anyone can see a sale you post, without an account. That includes its street address, dates, description and photos, and search engines may list it. Only post what you are comfortable sharing publicly. A sale stays viewable at its link until we automatically delete it 3 days after it ends, or until you delete it sooner.

Information we collect

• Account information: your email address and a password, or, if you continue with Google, the email address and basic profile information Google shares. We never see your password in readable form.
• Sales you post: the title, type, categories, dates, address, description and photos you enter, and the map location we work out from the address.
• Saved sales: the sales you mark with a heart.
• Searches: the city or ZIP code you search for. We don't save these to your account.
• Your location: if you allow it, your browser shares your location so we can show nearby sales. We round it to about 100 meters, look up the city, and keep the result only in your browser, not in your account. You can say no, or turn it off in your browser settings, and search by city or ZIP instead.
• Technical information: our service providers may log details such as your IP address, browser type and the pages requested, to run and protect the service.

Before a photo is uploaded, your browser resizes it and removes hidden details such as the location where it was taken. The visible content of the photo is not changed, so check that it doesn't show anything private.

How we use information

• To run YardSale: signing you in, showing sales, and placing them on the map.
• To send messages about your account, such as email confirmations.
• To keep the service secure and respond to misuse or legal requests.

We don't sell your personal information, and we don't show advertising.

Who we share it with

We use these service providers, which receive information only as needed for the service:

• Supabase stores accounts, sales and photos.
• Vercel hosts the website.
• Resend delivers account emails, such as sign-up confirmations, so it receives your email address and the message.
• Google handles sign-in if you choose it, and opens directions if you tap Get directions.
• OpenStreetMap provides the map images and looks up the city or ZIP code you search for.
• The US Census Bureau geocoder looks up the address of a sale you post, and the city for your location if you share it.

We may also disclose information when the law requires it, or to protect people or the service.

Browser storage

We keep you signed in, and remember the last place you viewed, using your browser's storage. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. Clearing your browser's site data signs you out.

Keeping and deleting your information

We keep your information while your account is active, except that each sale and its photos are automatically deleted 3 days after the sale ends, which also removes it from anyone's saved sales. You can edit or delete your sales at any time, which also removes their photos. To delete your account or request a copy of your information, email boskford2023@gmail.com. Depending on where you live, you may have other privacy rights under the law, and you can use the same address to exercise them.

Security

We use reasonable safeguards, but no online service can be completely secure.

Children

YardSale is for adults and is not directed to children. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes and contact

If we change this policy, we will update it here and change the effective date. Questions? Email boskford2023@gmail.com.
