Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Plaza (“Plaza”, “we”, “us”) is an app for collectors at myplaza.app. This policy explains what we collect, why, who we share it with and the choices you have. If anything here is unclear, write to [email protected].
What we collect
| Information | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Account details: name, handle, email address and password | To create your account and sign you in. Passwords are stored only as a one-way hash; we can’t read them. |
| Your profile and collection: bio, links, photos you upload, pieces and their details, prices you enter | To build your profile and magazine and show them to the people you choose. |
| Saved items and watchlist: links you save, target prices and budgets | To check prices for you and tell you when something is within budget. |
| Social activity: follows, comments and private messages | To deliver them to the people they’re meant for. |
| A sign-in cookie | To keep you signed in. It is the only cookie we set. We don’t use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies. |
| Basic technical logs: IP address, browser type and request times | To keep the service secure and fix problems. Logs are kept for a limited time. |
What we don’t do
- We don’t sell your personal information.
- We don’t show ads or share your information with advertisers.
- We don’t ask for, receive or store your eBay account or the account details of any eBay user.
What other people can see
Your profile, the pieces you add and your comments are visible to other Plaza members. Private messages are visible only to the people in the conversation. Saved items, budgets and what you paid are private unless you choose to show them on your profile.
Prices and listings from other sites
To value pieces and watch prices, Plaza looks up public information on store pages, resale sites and marketplaces, including eBay through eBay’s official developer APIs. We use this information to show you prices and listings, and each listing links back to where it came from. When we use eBay data we follow eBay’s API terms, including how long it may be kept.
Service providers
We use a small number of companies to run Plaza. They process information only on our behalf:
- Hosting and security — our hosting provider and Cloudflare, which run and protect the site.
- Email — our email providers, to send account emails such as password resets and to receive mail sent to us.
- AI features — Anthropic, when you ask Plaza to find similar items. We send the item’s description, not your account details.
- eBay — to look up public listings and prices. We send search terms, not information about you.
How long we keep information
We keep your account information while your account is open. If you delete your account, we delete your profile, collection, photos and messages within 30 days, except where we must keep something to comply with the law or resolve a dispute. Backups are overwritten on a rolling schedule.
Your choices and rights
- You can edit or delete anything you’ve added at any time.
- You can ask us for a copy of your information, to correct it, or to delete your account, by writing to [email protected].
- Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU/UK), you may have additional rights. We honour them for everyone.
Security
We use HTTPS everywhere, hash passwords, and limit who can access data. No system is perfectly secure, so please use a strong, unique password.
Children
Plaza isn’t for children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect information from them. If you think a child has given us information, contact us and we’ll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a meaningful way, we’ll update the date above and tell members by email or in the app before the change takes effect.
