Privacy Policy

Information we collect

• Account information — your email address, first and last name, and your school (determined automatically from your school email's domain when you sign up).
• Profile information you add — a short bio and a profile photo, if you choose to add them.
• Content you post — listings (title, description, price, category tags, photos), messages you send to other students, and reviews you leave for sellers.
• Device information — a push notification token, only if you enable notifications, so we can alert you to new messages.
• Reports — if you report a listing or review, we record who reported it, what was reported, and why.

How we use it

• To run the marketplace — showing your listings to other students, connecting buyers and sellers through messaging, and calculating seller ratings.
• To verify you're an enrolled student at a supported school, using your school email address.
• To notify you about new messages, if you've enabled notifications.
• To review reports of listings or reviews that may violate our guidelines.

What other students can see

Hustl is a marketplace, so some information is shown to other students by design: your name (as "First L.", e.g. "Jordan S."), school, profile photo, rating, and any listings, messages, or reviews you post. Your full last name and email address are never shown to other users.

Payments

Hustl does not process payments or handle any part of a transaction. Buyers and sellers arrange payment and pickup directly with each other, outside the app. Hustl is not a party to, and is not responsible for the outcome of, any transaction between users.

How we share information

We don't sell your information. We share it only with the service providers that run the app on our behalf, and only so they can provide that service to us:

• Supabase — account sign-in, our database, and real-time messaging.
• Amazon Web Services — storage for listing and profile photos.
• Brevo — sending account verification and notification emails.
• Apple and Expo's push notification services — delivering message alerts, if enabled.

Data retention and deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active. You can permanently delete your account and its data at any time from the app itself (Settings → Delete Account) — this removes your account, listings, messages, and reviews right away. Questions about this can be sent to thehustlapp@gmail.com.

Children's privacy

Hustl is intended for enrolled college students verified through a school email address, and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls. No method of storage or transmission is completely secure.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as Hustl changes. We'll update the effective date above whenever we do.
