Before publishing the Application, the developer should verify the actual list of SDKs and services used by Goods, including privacy manifests, Google Play SDK Index information, and provider documentation, and ensure that this Privacy Policy, Google Play Data safety, and Apple App Privacy answers are consistent and accurate.
Sharing of Information
We do not sell users' personal information.
Information may be shared or disclosed in the following circumstances:
- with service providers necessary to operate Goods;
- with other users when necessary to display a listing, seller profile, selected item location, or chat;

- when required by law, regulation, legal process, court order, or a valid governmental request;
- when necessary to investigate fraud, spam, abuse, or security incidents;
- when necessary to protect the security and integrity of Goods;
- when necessary to protect the rights, property, or safety of Goods, its users, or others;
- in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, sale of business, or transfer of assets, subject to applicable law and appropriate protection of personal information.
Public listing data, including item title, description, price, photos, selected address or coordinates, and seller information, may be visible to other users of the Application.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information processed through Goods.
Data transmitted between the Goods Application and backend services is intended to be transmitted through secure encrypted connections, such as HTTPS/TLS, where supported by the services used.
Communication between backend infrastructure and supported third-party services is also intended to use secure encrypted connections where supported.
Sensitive service credentials and private API keys should not be exposed directly through the mobile Application.
Passwords and authentication information are protected using appropriate technical measures and are not intended to be stored in plain text.
However, no electronic storage or transmission method is completely secure, and absolute security cannot be guaranteed. Users are also responsible for protecting their devices, account credentials, and access to their email accounts.
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide Goods, maintain active user accounts, operate Application features, comply with legal obligations, protect rights, ensure safety, and resolve disputes.
Approximate retention practices include:
- account information is retained until account deletion or for as long as needed to operate the Application;
- listings and listing photos are retained until the listing or account is deleted, or until removed through moderation;
- chat messages are retained until account deletion or for the period necessary to operate chat features, maintain safety, and resolve disputes;
- reports, blocking records, and related moderation information may be retained longer when needed for safety, abuse prevention, rule enforcement, dispute resolution, or legal requirements;
- backups and technical logs may remain for a limited period after deletion from active systems.
When a user requests deletion of their account, associated personal information will be deleted, anonymized, or scheduled for deletion as applicable.
Certain information may be retained when reasonably necessary or legally required for purposes such as:
- compliance with legal obligations;
- security;
- fraud and abuse prevention;
- resolving disputes;
- enforcing applicable rules or agreements.
Such information will only be retained for as long as necessary for the applicable purpose.
Account and Data Deletion
Users may request deletion of their Goods account and associated personal information.
If account deletion is available directly within the Application, users may follow the account deletion option provided in the profile, account, or settings section.
Users may also request account deletion by contacting us at:
chu_mings@gmail.com
When submitting an account deletion request by email, please send the request from the email address associated with your Goods account, where possible, so that we can verify account ownership.
After a valid deletion request is received and verified, we will take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize the user's account information and associated data, subject to applicable legal requirements, security needs, and legitimate retention obligations.
Deleting an account may result in deletion of the user profile, listings, photos, messages, and other data associated with the account. Some information, such as reports, safety records, or messages involving other users, may be retained in a limited form when necessary to protect users, investigate violations, prevent fraud, or comply with law.
Children's Privacy
Goods is not intended for children under the age from which they may legally consent to the processing of personal information under applicable law.
We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorization, we will take reasonable steps to delete that information.
If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that a child has provided personal information through Goods, please contact us at:
chu_mings@gmail.com
If Goods is ever distributed as an application for children or families, additional requirements under Google Play Families Policy, Apple Kids Category, and applicable law must be satisfied.

As a result, information may be processed or stored in other jurisdictions.
Where required by applicable law, reasonable measures will be taken to ensure that personal information receives an appropriate level of protection.
Tracking and Advertising
As of the date of this Privacy Policy, Goods does not use third-party behavioral advertising, does not sell personal information, and does not link user data from the Application with data from other companies' apps, websites, or offline resources for targeted advertising or advertising measurement.
If Goods begins using such technologies in the future, this Privacy Policy will be updated, the relevant sections in Google Play and App Store Connect will be completed, and user consent will be requested where required, including App Tracking Transparency permission on iOS where applicable.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to Goods, its functionality, service providers, legal requirements, or privacy practices.
When this Privacy Policy is updated, the revised version will be published on this page or inside the Application, and the "Last updated" date will be updated.
Users are encouraged to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
