Buyers and sellers may communicate through external services, including WhatsApp or Instagram, at their own discretion. Communications on such third-party platforms are governed by the privacy practices and terms of those services.

Analytics and Diagnostics

We use analytics and diagnostics tools, including Firebase Analytics and Firebase Crashlytics, to understand platform usage, detect issues, monitor performance, and improve user experience.

Third-Party Services

We may use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, crash reporting, communications, and payment processing. Such providers may process data on our behalf under contractual safeguards and only for legitimate business purposes.

CraftAz does not sell personal data.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, to provide services, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and comply with legal obligations. Retention periods may vary by data type and legal requirements.

Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No system is fully secure, but we continuously work to improve our protections.

Children's Privacy

CraftAz is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal data, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.

User Rights

Subject to applicable law, users may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to processing, and request portability of personal data. Users may also withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

We handle privacy requests in line with GDPR-style principles of transparency, purpose limitation, data minimization, and accountability.

Account Deletion

Users may request account deletion or data removal through in-app account controls (where available) or by contacting us. Upon verified request, we will delete or anonymize eligible data, except where retention is required for legal, security, fraud-prevention, or legitimate operational purposes.
