Privacy policy

This policy explains how ShareADesk handles personal information. We operate in Australia and treat the Australian Privacy Principles as the baseline even while the product is small. It is written for the live site, not as a substitute for advice about your own situation.

What we collect

• Account: name, email address and profile photo from Google when you sign in.
• Listings: the description, address, rates, photos and contact details you supply.
• Messages: enquiry and reply text, and an optional phone number you include so the other person can call you.
• Hubs: hub names, membership, invitations (including an email address you type when inviting someone who does not have an account yet), and discussion posts.
• Reports and blocks: who reported or blocked whom, and the reason given.

What we use it for

To run the marketplace: show listings, deliver messages and email notifications, let you save spaces, operate hubs, and review reports. We do not sell your information. We do not use it for unrelated advertising.

Who else sees it

• Other members see what you publish: listing copy and photos, your display name, and messages you send them.
• Google provides sign-in.
• Cloudinary stores listing photos.
• Mapbox renders maps from coordinates we store for a listing.
• Resend sends transactional email (enquiries, replies, hub invites, reports).
• Our host (for example Vercel) and database provider store the application and data.

Those providers only get what they need to do that job. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, or to deal with a safety or fraud report.

Retention

We keep your account and listings while the account is open. Unpublished listings stay in your account until you delete them. Reports are kept so we can see a pattern. You can delete a listing; deleting your Google access does not by itself wipe historical messages the other person still has.

Access and correction

You can edit your listings in the app. Display name and photo come from Google. To correct or delete account data we hold, use the report flow or contact us via the email on a report notification — we will respond as soon as we reasonably can.

Overseas disclosure

Some providers (Google, Cloudinary, Mapbox, Resend, hosting) may store or process data outside Australia. If you do not want that, do not create an account.

Changes

We will update this page when the way we handle information changes. See also the terms of use.
