This Privacy Policy describes how the Pofta platform collects, processes, and protects users' personal data. By using the site, you agree to the data processing terms outlined below.
Data controller
The operator of the Pofta Platform is currently undergoing formal registration. For matters concerning the processing of personal data during this transitional period, contact us at [email protected]. Use of the Platform remains subject to the mandatory provisions of the GDPR and applicable consumer-protection law. The full controller record will be published once registration is complete.
1. What data we collect
When using the platform, we may collect the following information:
- Phone number — for communication between users and account verification
- IP address and device data — to ensure security and prevent fraud
- Cookies — to save settings, language, and improve site performance
- Listing data — text, photos, and contact information that you add
- Browsing and activity data — for personalization and service improvement
2. How we use data
- Providing and maintaining platform functionality
- Content moderation and fraud prevention
- Improving user experience and personalization
- Communicating with users regarding support issues
3. Data protection
We do not store personal data in plain text. All identifying user data (IP addresses, device data, session identifiers) is stored in hashed form. The only exception is the phone number, which is necessary for communication between users and is displayed in listings.
Additional security measures:
- Data encryption during transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
- Hashing of personal data when stored in the database
- Limited access to data within the team
- Regular security audits and threat monitoring
4. Cookies and tracking
We use cookies for the correct operation of the site: saving language, authorization, and user settings. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but this may limit the functionality of the site.
We do not use third-party advertising trackers and do not sell data to third parties.
5. Transfer of data to third parties
We do not sell or transfer your personal data to third parties. Since all data is stored in hashed form, we cannot technically provide users' personal information.
At the request of law enforcement agencies, we can only provide:
- The phone number linked to the account
- Information published by the user in the listing (text, photos, contacts)
6. Your rights
You have the right to:
- Request access to your personal data
- Demand correction of inaccurate data
- Request deletion of your account and all associated data
- Withdraw consent to data processing
- Request data portability in a machine-readable format
- Object to processing of data based on legitimate interests
To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected] or via the "Write to us" section. We respond within 30 days.
7. Data retention period
Account data is stored for the entire period of service use. After account deletion, personal data is deleted within 30 days, with the exception of data that we are required to store by law.
8. Changes to the policy
We may update this Privacy Policy. The current version is always available on this page. By continuing to use the site after changes, you agree to the updated policy.
