Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to SaaSMarket ("we", "us", or "our"), operated at www.saasforsale.so. We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what rights you have in relation to it.

By using our website and services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

a) Information you provide directly

When you create an account on SaaSMarket, we collect:

• Your name
• Email address
• Password (stored in encrypted form — we never store plain-text passwords)
• Any profile information you choose to add (e.g. bio, social media handles)
• Listing information you submit when creating a SaaS business listing

b) Information collected automatically

When you visit our website, we automatically collect certain information through third-party analytics tools:

• Google Analytics 4 (GA4): We use GA4 to understand how visitors interact with our site. This includes pages visited, time spent, general location (country/region), device type, and referral source. GA4 uses cookies and similar tracking technologies. No personally identifiable information is sent to Google Analytics.
• Google Search Console: We use Search Console to monitor our site's presence in Google Search results, including search queries that lead users to our site. This data is aggregated and anonymised.

c) Payment information

If you purchase a listing promotion or other paid feature, payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your card details. Stripe's own privacy policy governs how your payment information is handled — please review it at stripe.com/privacy.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your account
• Provide, operate, and improve our marketplace services
• Send you transactional emails (e.g. email verification, password reset, listing activity)
• Respond to your enquiries and provide customer support
• Detect and prevent fraud or abuse of our platform
• Analyse site usage to improve performance and user experience
• Comply with our legal obligations

We will never use your personal information for purposes other than those described in this policy without your explicit consent.

4. Sharing of Information

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to any third party.

We do not share your personal information with other users of the platform. When you list a SaaS business for sale, only the information you choose to make public (such as your listing details) is visible to other users. Your email address and private account details are never disclosed.

We may share information in the following limited circumstances:

• Service providers: We share data with trusted third-party providers who help us operate our platform (e.g. Vercel for hosting, Stripe for payments). These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it to provide services to us.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required to do so by law, or in response to a valid legal request (e.g. court order or government authority).
• Business transfers: In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you before this occurs.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate our website. Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We use them for:

• Authentication: To keep you logged in to your account
• Analytics: Google Analytics 4 uses cookies to collect anonymised usage data
• Preferences: To remember your settings and preferences

You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling cookies may affect the functionality of certain parts of our site.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with our services. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete or anonymise your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required to retain it for legal or compliance purposes (e.g. financial records related to transactions).

7. Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorised access, loss, or misuse. These include encrypted data transmission (HTTPS), hashed password storage, and access controls. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete data
• Deletion: Request that we delete your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Portability: Request your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection: Object to certain types of processing, including direct marketing
• Withdrawal of consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time

To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address below. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you become aware that a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will take steps to delete that information.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g. listed SaaS businesses, external resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of our services after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
