Privacy Policy

Information We Collect

Need Gone may collect information you provide when creating an account, completing your profile, posting a listing, requesting an item, sending messages, or otherwise using the service.

This information may include your name, email address, general location, profile information, listing details, photos, pickup information, messages, and activity related to giveaways and pickups.

Location Information

Need Gone may use ZIP codes, city information, coordinates, and distance preferences to show nearby listings.

Private pickup addresses and pickup instructions are only intended to be shown to an approved recipient. Public listing locations may be visible to other users.

How We Use Information

We use information to operate Need Gone, display listings, connect users, support pickup coordination, send notifications, improve the service, prevent misuse, and maintain community trust and safety.

Information Shared With Other Users

Information you post publicly, including listing photos, descriptions, general locations, profile information, and community activity, may be visible to other users.

Approved participants may receive additional information needed to complete a pickup, including private addresses, instructions, meetup details, and messages.

Service Providers

Need Gone relies on third-party service providers for services such as authentication, database hosting, image storage, website hosting, mapping, analytics, and notifications. These providers may process information as needed to provide their services.

Data Security

We take reasonable steps to protect information, but no online service can guarantee complete security. Users should avoid sharing unnecessary sensitive information in listings or messages.

Data Retention

Information may be retained for as long as reasonably necessary to operate the service, maintain records, resolve disputes, prevent abuse, and comply with legal obligations.

Children

Need Gone is not intended for children under 13. Users under the age of majority in their location should use the service only with the involvement and permission of a parent or legal guardian.
