4. How We Share Your Information

4.1 Public Information

Certain information is publicly visible by design: your public profile (username, name, bio, profile photo), public checklists, public collections, marketplace listings, comments, and achievement badges. You control the visibility of your collections through privacy settings.

4.2 Service Providers

We share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, including hosting (Cloudflare), payment processing (Stripe), email delivery (SendGrid), analytics, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as necessary to provide their services to us.

4.3 Data Partners and Advertisers

We may share, sell, or license aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data to third-party partners, including but not limited to: data brokers, market research firms, advertising networks, analytics companies, academic institutions, financial services companies, insurance companies, retailers, manufacturers, and other businesses. This data may include collection trends, pricing data, market intelligence, demographic insights, and behavioral analytics. While we take steps to aggregate and de-identify this data, we cannot guarantee that such data cannot be re-identified by recipients.

4.4 Advertising Partners

We may share information with advertising partners to deliver targeted advertisements based on your interests, collection activity, and usage patterns. This may include sharing device identifiers, cookie data, browsing activity, and interest categories with advertising networks and demand-side platforms.

4.5 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, asset sale, or similar transaction, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity. We will notify you via email or prominent notice on the Service of any change in ownership or uses of your information.

4.6 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or governmental request, or when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, protect your safety or the safety of others, investigate fraud, or respond to an emergency.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service. After account deletion, we may retain certain information as required by law, for legitimate business purposes (including fraud prevention, analytics, and dispute resolution), or as necessary to enforce our agreements. Aggregated, anonymized, and de-identified data derived from your information may be retained indefinitely and is not subject to deletion requests, as it is no longer personally identifiable. Backup copies may persist in our systems for up to 90 days after deletion.

6. Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL), secure authentication protocols, regular security assessments, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.

7. Your Rights and Choices

7.1 Account Settings

You can access and update your account information through the Settings page. You can control the visibility of your collections through per-checklist privacy settings. You can manage push notification preferences in your account settings.

7.2 Data Export

7.3 Account Deletion

You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at [email protected]. Upon deletion, we will remove your personal profile information and account credentials. Please note that: (a) content you posted publicly (comments, public checklists) may persist after deletion; (b) data that has been aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified is not subject to deletion; (c) we may retain certain data as required by law or for legitimate business purposes; and (d) data shared with third parties prior to deletion cannot be recalled.

7.4 Marketing Communications

You can opt out of marketing emails by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email or by updating your notification preferences. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional or account-related emails.

Please note that aggregated and de-identified data is not considered personal information under the CCPA.

7.6 European Residents (GDPR)

Our legal bases for processing include: consent (which you may withdraw at any time), performance of our contract with you (the Terms of Service), legitimate interests (analytics, security, service improvement), and legal obligations. To exercise your rights, contact us at [email protected].

If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 13 without parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us at [email protected].

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate.

11. Do Not Track Signals

Some browsers transmit "Do Not Track" (DNT) signals. We currently do not respond to DNT signals. We will update this policy if we adopt a DNT standard in the future.
