Privacy Policy

How MOKUTA collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website.

Effective date: October 22, 2026

Please read this policy. It describes the information associated with your MOKUTA account, advertisements, and communications. This draft should be reviewed and updated to match the website's actual technical practices before publication.

1. About MOKUTA

MOKUTA is an online classifieds marketplace intended to help people discover listings and connect with buyers and sellers. Users are responsible for the goods, services, and information they advertise. MOKUTA does not itself sell listed items, arrange delivery, or collect marketplace payments on behalf of buyers and sellers unless a specific service clearly states otherwise.

2. Information we may collect

Account information: information you provide when creating or managing an account, such as your name, email address, and profile details.
Sign-in information: if you choose Google or another supported sign-in provider, we receive information that provider shares with us, such as your email address, name, and profile image, subject to your provider settings and permissions.
Listings and uploads: ad titles, descriptions, prices, categories, location details, photos, and other files you choose to submit.
Communications and support: messages sent through MOKUTA, reports, requests, and information you provide when asking for help.
Verification and safety information: details or documents you choose to submit for identity verification or to report suspected fraud. Access to this information should be restricted to authorized reviewers.
Technical information: information that may be generated when you use the site, such as device/browser details, logs, security events, and basic usage data, depending on the services and configuration in use.

3. How we use information

We may use information to create and maintain accounts; display and manage listings; enable buyer-seller communication; provide requested verification; respond to support requests; prevent spam, fraud, abuse, and security incidents; enforce our terms; maintain and improve the website; and meet legal obligations.

4. What other users can see

Some information you submit is intended to be visible to other users, such as your public profile name, listings, listing photos, and location information shown with an ad. Do not include private or sensitive information in a public listing. Your contact details may be made available to eligible users through MOKUTA's contact features, depending on the site's current settings. We do not intend public listings to expose private account credentials.

5. Messages and user safety

Messages sent through MOKUTA may be processed to deliver conversations, provide support, investigate user reports, and address suspected scams or abuse. Authorized personnel may review relevant communications for safety or support purposes where permitted by law. Do not send passwords, payment credentials, or information you would not want shared with the intended recipient.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

MOKUTA and its service providers may use cookies, browser storage, or similar technologies needed for authentication, session management, security, and site functionality. If analytics or advertising technologies are added, this policy should be updated to explain them and any available choices.

7. Service providers and sharing

We may use service providers to operate the website, including authentication, database, file-storage, hosting, and security services. These providers process information as needed to deliver their services. We may also disclose information when required by law, to respond to valid legal process, to protect users or the service, or in connection with a business transfer. We do not sell personal information to advertisers. We do not share information with third parties for their own independent marketing unless we clearly explain that practice and have a lawful basis to do so.

8. Retention and security

We keep information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including account operation, dispute handling, safety, legal compliance, and backup processes. We use reasonable safeguards appropriate to the information and service, but no website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

9. Your choices and requests

You can review or update certain profile information through your account, where those features are available. You may contact us to ask about access, correction, or deletion of personal information. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request and may retain some information where the law permits or requires it, or where it is needed for security, fraud prevention, disputes, or legitimate service operation.

10. Children

MOKUTA is not intended for children who are not legally able to use the service. If you believe a child has provided personal information inappropriately, contact us so we can review the situation.

11. International processing

Your information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you live, depending on the location of MOKUTA's hosting and service providers. Where applicable, we take reasonable steps to ensure such processing is handled appropriately.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as MOKUTA's features, technology, or legal requirements change. We will post the updated version on this page and revise the effective date. Please review it periodically.
