1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide when creating an account (name, email, password), posting ads (listing details, photos, location), and contacting other users. We also automatically collect usage data such as IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and device information.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to operate and improve the Service, facilitate transactions between users, send you important account notifications and updates, prevent fraud and ensure safety, and comply with legal obligations.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the platform (such as cloud hosting and email services), and when required by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users.
4. Cookies and Tracking
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyze traffic, and personalize content. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings, though disabling cookies may affect some functionality.
5. Data Retention
We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.
6. Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and at rest. However, no system is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.
7. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete your personal data. Canadian residents have rights under PIPEDA. You may exercise these rights by contacting us at privacy@pawije.com.

Pawije is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.
