We share data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform, including hosting providers, payment processors, email service providers, analytics providers, fraud detection services, and customer support tools. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to perform services on our behalf.
We may disclose your information if required by law or if we believe in good faith that such action is necessary to: (i) comply with a legal obligation or court order; (ii) protect and defend the rights or property of Junub Classifieds; (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing; or (iv) protect the personal safety of users or the public.
In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or use of your personal information.
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons and pixel tags) to collect and store information about your interactions with the Platform. Cookies help us:
Keep you logged in to your account
Remember your preferences and settings
Understand how you use the Platform
Deliver targeted advertisements
Detect and prevent fraud
We retain your personal data for as long as your account is active, as necessary to provide you with our services, or as required to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When we no longer have a legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will delete or anonymize it. Inactive accounts may be deleted after a period of inactivity, and you will be notified before deletion.
We implement industry-standard technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include SSL/TLS encryption for data in transit, encrypted storage, access controls, regular security assessments, and secure coding practices.
