Privacy Policy

Last updated: December 10, 2025

At 237Market, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices. This Privacy Policy explains how we operate as a product catalog platform and what minimal information is collected when you browse our website. By accessing or using 237Market, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

1. Platform Operation & No Personal Data Collection

237Market operates as a product discovery and listing platform. We DO NOT process payments, create user accounts, or facilitate financial transactions directly on our website.

When you express interest in a product, you are directed to the seller's WhatsApp profile via a direct link. All transactions, negotiations, and exchange of personal or payment details occur off our platform, directly between you and the seller on WhatsApp.

As such, we DO NOT collect or store:

Your personal name or contact details
Credit card, bank account, or mobile money information
Shipping or billing addresses
Account passwords or login credentials

2. Information We Automatically Collect

While we do not request personal information from you, we may collect certain anonymous, technical usage data automatically when you visit our website to help us maintain and improve the platform. This may include:

Device Information: Device type (mobile/desktop), operating system, and browser type.
Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on the site, and search queries (e.g., product categories searched).
Technical Logs: IP addresses and connection logs for security and diagnostic purposes.

3. How We Use Technical Data

The limited technical data we collect is used solely for:

Ensuring the website functions correctly on your device.
Analyzing aggregate traffic to understand which products are popular.
Improving site performance and user interface.
Detecting and preventing technical issues or security threats.

4. Cookies and Local Storage

We use minimal cookies or local storage solely for technical functionality, such as:

Remembering your view preferences (e.g., list vs. grid view).
Basic performance analytics to monitor site uptime and speed.

We do not use tracking cookies to build personal user profiles or for retargeting advertisements.

5. Third-Party Interactions (WhatsApp)

Our primary function is connecting you to sellers via WhatsApp.

Off-Platform Transactions: When you click a "Chat on WhatsApp" or similar button, you are leaving 237Market and entering the WhatsApp application.
No Liability: We are not responsible for the privacy practices, data security, or content of WhatsApp or the individual sellers you contact.
User Responsibility: Please exercise caution and due diligence when sharing personal or payment information with sellers on WhatsApp. We recommend verifying the seller and the item before making any payments.

6. Data Security

Although we do not hold personal user databases, we implement standard web security measures (such as using HTTPS) to protect the connection between your browser and our website, ensuring that your browsing activity on our site remains secure.

7. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our operational practices or legal requirements. Since we do not collect email addresses to send notifications, we encourage you to review this page periodically for accurate information.
