3. How and why we use your data (legal bases)

4. Verification data

Verification material is used solely to confirm identity or performer status. We restrict access to authorised staff, store it securely, and retain it only as long as needed for the verification purpose and to meet legal record-keeping obligations, after which it is deleted.

5. Sharing your data

We share personal data only with:

payment providers, hosting and infrastructure providers, and email/delivery providers, acting as our processors;
moderation or security partners where used;
authorities, regulators, or legal advisers where required by law or to protect our rights and the safety of users.

We do not sell your personal data. Note that any information you publish in a profile or review is public by nature; be cautious about what you share.

6. International transfers

As an international service, your data may be processed outside your country. Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as adequacy decisions or Standard Contractual Clauses.

7. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies that are necessary for the Website to function, and (with your consent where required) cookies for analytics and preferences. You can manage non-essential cookies through the cookie banner or your browser settings.

8. Retention

We keep personal data for as long as your account is active and afterwards only as long as needed for the purposes described here or to comply with legal obligations (for example, financial records and complaint records). We then delete or anonymise it.

9. Security

We apply technical and organisational measures to protect personal data, including hashed passwords, access controls, and encryption in transit. No system is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may request: access to your data; correction; deletion; restriction or objection to processing; portability; and withdrawal of consent. You may also lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority. To exercise your rights, contact [email protected] . We may need to verify your identity before acting.
