Privacy Policy

Template for development — review for UK GDPR / Data Protection Act 2018 compliance before launch.

What we collect

Account details, profile content, photos, messages, and approximate location (postcode prefix only — never your full postcode).

How we protect it

Messages and verification documents are encrypted at rest. Photos default to a blurred version. Row-level security restricts access at the database. We never sell your data and the site is not indexed by search engines.

Your rights

You can export all of your data or delete your account at any time from Privacy & safety. Deletion anonymises your record and revokes all sessions.

Lawful basis & retention

We process data to provide the service (contract) and to keep the community safe (legitimate interest). Data is retained only as long as needed.
