Privacy & address protection

When you choose My address as the pickup location, the street, unit, and ZIP you enter are stored separately from the public listing. Buyers browsing the marketplace only ever see an approximate area, such as “Arlington, VA”.

• The exact address is revealed only to a buyer who has agreed a price with you and booked a pickup time.
• It is never shown to people browsing, saving or asking questions about the item.
• It is not in the page source, not in search results, and not in anything a buyer can share onward.
• Choose Safe public meetup instead, and your address is never revealed to anyone at all.
• If a deal falls through or you report a no-show, the buyer no longer has an active pickup, and the deal is closed.

When you list an item you give two numbers: the asking price everybody sees, and the private minimum you would accept.

• The minimum price is stored apart from the public listing and is never sent to a buyer's device.
• GD Agent uses it to decide how far to negotiate, but will never name it, hint at it, or confirm a guess.
• The same protection applies to your auto-accept threshold and your approval threshold.
• A buyer who asks “what's your lowest?” gets a negotiating answer, not your floor.

The live pickup map is off by default and only exists for deals with a booked time.

• Nothing is shared until you tap “On my way”. There is no background tracking, ever.
• Only the other participant in that one deal can see your position.
• Sharing ends when you stop it or close the map, and expires automatically a few hours after it starts.
• For a home pickup, the seller is simply pinned at the destination — the seller is not tracked.

Your public boutique page shows your first name, your seller rating, how many deals you've completed, and the items you currently have for sale. That's it.

• Your last name, email address and phone number are never shown to other members.
• Your ratings come from people you've actually completed deals with.
• Reviews are tied to a completed deal, so nobody can review you out of the blue.

• Account details (name, email, phone, city) — to run your account and let GD Agent arrange pickups.
• Listings and photos — to show your items on the marketplace.
• Deal conversations — so GD Agent can negotiate on your behalf and so we can resolve a dispute if one comes up.
• Pickup location, when shared — used live during the pickup and not retained afterwards.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not share it with advertisers.

• Edit or delete any listing at any time from your account.
• Switch a listing to Safe public meetup so your address is never involved.
• Update the details on your profile whenever they change.
• Contact GD DEAL support to request deletion of your account and its data.

A small GD DEAL moderation team can review listings, accounts and deal conversations when investigating a report, a dispute or a suspected scam. That access is limited to resolving the issue and is not used for anything else.
