Privacy Policy
1) Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how Ad Bull (“we”, “us”) collects and uses personal data when you use Ad Bull (the “Service”). It also explains your choices and rights under applicable laws (e.g., GDPR).
Short version: We collect only what we need to run the marketplace (accounts, listings, messages, security logs), we don’t sell your data, and you can exercise your privacy rights at any time.
2) Controller & Contact
Data Controller: Ad Bull.
Support: Reveal email • DPO/Privacy contact: Reveal email

4) Why We Use Data (Legal Bases)

- Legal compliance (court orders, tax/record-keeping) — Legal obligation.
7) International Transfers
If data is processed outside your country, we rely on appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) where required. Details available on request.
8) Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above:
- Account data — while your account remains active and for a reasonable period after closure (e.g., backups, fraud prevention).
- Listings & messages — according to product lifecycle and legal requirements.
- Logs — typically short retention unless needed for security or investigations.
9) Your Rights (EU/EEA/UK)
- Access your data
- Rectify inaccurate data
- Erase (where applicable)
- Restrict or object to certain processing
- Portability (machine-readable copy)

To exercise rights, email Reveal email from your account email. We may need to verify your identity.
10) Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data (account controls, access limits, encryption in transit, backups). No system is perfectly secure; report issues to Reveal email.
11) Children
The Service is not directed to children under 16 and we do not knowingly collect their personal data. If you believe a child has provided data, contact us to remove it.
12) Third-Party Links
Listings may link to third-party sites or services we don’t control. This Policy does not cover their practices; review their privacy notices.
13) Changes to This Policy
We may update this Policy from time to time. Material changes will be signposted in the app. Continued use after the effective date means you accept the changes.
