PRIVACY POLICY

Last updated: October 11, 2026

This explains what MyShuk collects, why, and your choices. MyShuk is run by MyShuk. Contact: myshukapp@gmail.com.

1. What we collect

• Account details: email, password (stored securely, we cannot read it), name, optional bio, profile and cover photos.
• Phone number: only if you add it. You choose whether it shows on your profile.
• Location: the ZIP code you enter, and, for businesses, the street address or the towns served that you enter. We use this to show nearby listings and business areas. If you allow it, the app reads your device location once, while you are using it, to find your ZIP code. We do not track your location in the background.
• Content you post: listings, photos, videos, home and job posts, business profiles (hours, services, contact details), statuses, reviews and ratings.
• Messages: Marketplace messages between users.
• Activity: what you save, view, search and report, so features like Saved and Recently viewed work.
• Technical data: device type, app version, and basic logs used to keep the service working and secure. We do not use advertising or third-party analytics tools at this time.
• Ratings and feedback you send about the app.

2. How we use it

To run the app, show your posts to other users, let people contact you, show listings near you, keep the service safe (reports, blocking, spam checks), fix problems, and improve MyShuk. We do not sell your personal information. Ads may appear in the app in the future. If they do, we will update this policy and will not give advertisers your personal information.

3. What other people can see

Anything you post publicly can be seen by other users and may be saved or shared by them: your name, profile photo, listings, business profile, photos and videos, reviews, your area (from your ZIP, shown as town and state, not the ZIP itself), and any phone number or WhatsApp link you chose to display. Messages are visible only to the people in the conversation, and to us if needed to deal with a report or legal request.

4. Who we share with

• Service providers that run the app for us. They may only use the data to provide their service to us:
  • Supabase: database, sign-in, file storage (photos and videos) and messaging.
  • Expo (Expo Application Services): delivers app updates to your device.
  • Photon (photon.komoot.io, run by Komoot) and Zippopotam.us: when you type a place or ZIP code into a search or address box, that text is sent to them to turn it into a location. They do not receive your name or account.
• Authorities, when the law requires it or to protect people’s safety.
• A buyer of the business, if MyShuk is ever sold, with the same protections. We do not share your data with anyone else.

5. Photos, videos, and permissions

The app asks for access to your photos or videos only when you choose to add them. It may ask for your location (only while the app is open) to find your ZIP code, and in the future for permission to send notifications. You can turn permissions off in your phone settings.

6. How long we keep it

We keep your data while your account is open. When you delete your account in Settings we delete your profile, listings, homes, jobs, businesses, statuses, saved items and conversations. Some copies may remain in backups for a short time, and other users may keep copies of things you already sent or shared.

7. Your choices

You can edit or delete your posts, change what your profile shows, hide your phone number, block users, turn off notifications, and delete your account, all in the app. You can also use our account deletion page. To ask for a copy of your data or for anything else, contact myshukapp@gmail.com.

8. Security

We use reasonable measures to protect your data, such as encrypted connections and access controls. No system is perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee it.

9. Children

MyShuk is not for anyone under 18. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18 we will delete it.

10. Where data is stored

Your data may be stored and processed in the United States or other countries where our providers operate.

11. Changes

We may update this policy. If a change is important we will tell you in the app.
