Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

At ALHUDA.AE, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.

1. Information We Collect

• Account information: full name, email address, phone number, city, and password (stored securely as a one-way hash).
• Profile photo and listing photos you choose to upload.
• Ad content: titles, descriptions, prices, and categories you post.
• Messages you send us via the Contact Us form.
• Basic usage data such as ad views, used to show you listing statistics.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account and dashboard.
• To display your listings to potential buyers.
• To allow buyers and sellers to communicate (e.g., via WhatsApp links you provide).
• To respond to your inquiries and improve our services.

3. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in a secured MySQL database. Passwords are never stored in plain text — they are hashed using industry-standard bcrypt encryption. We take reasonable technical measures to protect your data from unauthorized access.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. Your public profile name and listing details are visible to other users as part of the normal operation of a marketplace platform.

ALHUDA.AE uses session cookies to keep you logged in securely. We do not use invasive third-party tracking cookies.
