Privacy Policy
Effective October 20, 2026
This policy explains what information Home Talentcollects when you use HomeTalent, how it's used, and the choices you have. We collect only what we need to run the Service, and we don't sell your personal information.
1. Information we collect
- Account details: your name, email, phone number and ZIP code.
- Shop details (Creators): shop name, description, photos, business address, and an optional business phone.
- Activity: listings, saved items, messages, store-visit requests, orders, reviews and notifications.
- Location:the approximate location of your ZIP code or shop address. If you choose to share your device's location, it's used only to find nearby shops.
2. How we use it
- To run your account and show you shops and listings near you.
- To let buyers and Creators message each other and arrange visits.
- To send notifications and emails about your activity, like a confirmed visit.
- To keep the Service safe — for example, reviewing new shops and listings.
3. What other users can see
Your shop name, photos, listings, city and reviews are public. A Creator's street address and business phone are private by default:
- Address: shown only to buyers with a confirmed visit or order — unless the Creator chooses to show it to everyone.
- Business phone: shown only if the Creator chooses to show it.
- Shop locations used for distance are approximate, never an exact point.
Buyers' contact details aren't shown publicly.
4. Services we use
We rely on a few trusted providers to run HomeTalent. They process data only to provide their service to us:
- Supabase — secure database, sign-in and photo storage.
- Vercel — hosting for the website.
- Resend — sending account and activity emails.
- OpenStreetMap — looking up addresses and ZIP codes.
5. Cookies
We use essential cookies only — to keep you signed in. We don't use advertising or tracking cookies.
6. Your choices
- Update your profile and shop details at any time.
- Choose who can see your shop address and business phone.
- Delete notifications, or delete your account entirely from your profile.
- Email us to ask what information we hold about you, or to correct it.
7. Keeping data secure
Your data is protected with access controls that limit each piece of information to the people allowed to see it, and all connections are encrypted. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.
8. Age requirement
HomeTalent is for adults 18 and older. We don't knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy. If the changes are meaningful, we'll ask you to review the new version before you continue using the Service.
