Privacy Policy
What we collect
To make the Platform work, we collect:
- Account info — name, email, password (hashed), optional phone, optional avatar.
- Profile info — location label, bio, public posts and listings you choose to share.
- Activity — listings, messages, comments, saves, reviews, reports.
- Approximate location — neighborhood-level only. We do NOT publish your exact address. Pickup coordinates are stored server-side for matching but never exposed publicly.
- Technical data — IP, browser, device info, login times, audit-log entries for security.
What we do NOT do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not share your data with advertisers.
- We do not publish your exact home address.
- We do not access your contacts, microphone, or camera roll outside what you upload.
Who sees what
- Public: your display name, profile slug, avatar, listings, posts, comments, public reviews, neighborhood label.
- Other party in a conversation: your messages and any photos you attach.
- Admins: all of the above, plus audit logs, content reports, and policy-acceptance records — used only for moderation, safety, and legal compliance.
- Nobody else.
Your rights
You can:
- Edit your profile and listings at any time.
- Request a copy of your data — email privacy@mygrowcommunity.com.
- Delete your account permanently — your listings, posts, comments, and personal info are removed. Some legally-required records (e.g. transaction logs, policy acceptances) are retained as required by law.
- Opt out of non-essential notifications.
If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA (right to know, right to delete, right to correct, right to opt out of sale/sharing of personal information, and right to limit use of sensitive information). We do not "sell" or "share" personal information in the CCPA sense. Submit requests to privacy@mygrowcommunity.com.
Security
We use HTTPS, hashed passwords, rate limits, audit logs, and least-privilege admin access. No system is perfect — if we detect a breach affecting you, we will notify you as required by applicable law.
Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep you signed in and a CSRF token to prevent forged form submissions. We do not use third-party advertising trackers.
Children
The Platform is for users 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
Changes
We will re-prompt for acceptance when this policy materially changes.
