3. No Direct Contact Policy

🛡️ Your contact details are never shared

Buyers' phone numbers and addresses are never shown to sellers. Sellers' personal phone numbers are never shown to buyers. All communication — queries, offers, bargains, complaints — goes through Laydemart support.

4. Seller Verification Data

When sellers submit Aadhaar, FSSAI, or Police verification numbers for badge approval:

  • These numbers are reviewed only by Laydemart admin
  • They are never shown publicly or shared with buyers
  • We do not perform independent verification of documents — badges are issued based on seller declaration and admin review
  • Verification data is encrypted and stored securely

5. Photos & Media

  • Product photos uploaded by sellers are stored on Cloudinary CDN and displayed publicly
  • Review photos uploaded by buyers are stored on Cloudinary and displayed on product pages
  • Seller store logos are stored on Cloudinary and displayed publicly
  • You may request deletion of your uploaded photos at any time by contacting support

6. Location Data

  • We do not track your GPS location in real-time
  • Sellers voluntarily set a delivery radius (e.g. 5 km) — this is used to inform buyers and is shown publicly on their profile
  • City/area entered during registration is used to help local discovery

7. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored securely on our servers (Supabase PostgreSQL). Passwords are bcrypt-hashed and never stored in plain text. Product images are stored on Cloudinary CDN with secure access.
