Privacy Policy

BidBlitz stores the information you provide so the marketplace can work: your account details, your listings, your bids and your reviews. Some of that is deliberately public: bidding is a public, competitive activity. The rest stays private to you and to the people directly involved in a sale.

We do not sell your personal data, and BidBlitz runs no advertising trackers.

• Account data: your email address, display name and username. Your password is stored by our authentication service in a protected form. It can never be read back, by us or anyone else.
• Profile data: the bio, location and any profile picture you choose to add in Settings. You can edit these at any time.
• Your listings: item titles, descriptions, category, condition, location, pricing, timing and the photos you upload.
• Your activity: bids you place, auctions you watch, reviews you write and reports you file.
• Settlement records: for auctions you win or sell, the winning price, the platform fee and the seller's net amount, so both sides see the same numbers.
• Standard server logs: our hosting providers (Vercel for the site, Supabase for the database, authentication and file storage) may keep routine request logs such as IP address and request time for security.

An auction marketplace only works if bids are public. Other users can see:

• your display name (and username) on the bids you place, the reviews you write and the listings you run;
• the amount and timing of each bid on an auction you can view;
• your public profile page, including your rating summary.

Your email address is never shown to other users. Transaction amounts are visible only to the buyer and seller of that sale.

• to run auctions: identify who placed which bid, enforce the bidding rules and settle sales correctly;
• to show listings, profiles and bid history to visitors;
• to send you the essential account emails: sign-up confirmation and password reset. There are no marketing emails.
• to handle reports and keep the marketplace safe from abuse.

BidBlitz uses essential session cookies to keep you signed in, and stores your light/dark theme choice in your browser. There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies.

We do not sell or rent personal data. Data is processed only by the services that run BidBlitz: hosting and delivery (Vercel), database, authentication and file storage (Supabase), and, where the product makes it public, by the other users described above.

We keep your data while your account is active. You can ask us to delete your account and its data at any time using the contact details below. Records of settled sales may need to be kept so the buyer and seller transactions stay consistent. if that applies, we will tell you.

• Edit your display name, bio and location in Settings.
• Ask for a copy of your data, or its deletion, by contacting us.
• Clear cookies in your browser at any time and you will simply be signed out.

If the data BidBlitz handles changes, this page is updated and the date at the top is reset. Check it occasionally.
