What we collect

YugYug stores the account, listing, messaging, transaction, and pilot-feedback data needed to run the local barter marketplace. We keep the MVP data model intentionally narrow and avoid exposing more profile information than the product needs.

How we use it

We use marketplace data to power listings, messaging, exchange coordination, moderation, support, and lightweight product analytics for the invite-only pilot. We do not use a CMS or third-party ad network to manage these core surfaces.

Privacy by Default

Public surfaces (leaderboard, profiles) display only pseudonyms (Display Names). No personal identifiable information is exposed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Pilot operations

Invite-only pilot operations may review reports, support requests, moderation actions, and feedback to keep the marketplace safe. We maintain an incident register as required by law.

French/English legal content expansion, privacy impact assessment workflow, and broader incident handling are planned in the roadmap before reaching 10,000 members.
