We process personal data that you provide voluntarily, that we collect automatically and that we obtain from third party sources for the purposes outlined in this Statement.
- Personal data that you provide voluntarily: We may receive personal data provided from you when you list on our platform, create an account with us or provide for your marketing preferences or for surveys or reviews in connection to our Services.
- Personal data that we collect automatically: With your prior consent or when permitted by applicable law, when you browse our platforms, we may automatically collect technical data about your equipment, browsing activities and patterns. We use this personal data by using cookies, server logs and other similar technologies. These self-learning algorithms generate content that they use to personalise your user experience, selecting in particular those items that you are interested in, as well as to
support the overall optimisation of our Services. For our cookie policy, please refer above (Cookies) for more information.
We may allow you to use social media sites to create your account or link your account to the relevant social media site. These social media sites may provide us with automatic access to certain personal data they hold about you (e.g. content viewed by you, content liked by you, and information regarding the advertisements you have been shown or may have clicked on). Where we receive such information, we may use this information to further personalise your experience with us in line with your marketing preferences.
- Personal Data that we obtain from third-party sources: We may receive personal data from third party sources, including advertising networks and social media platforms such as Facebook or technical payment and delivery services providers which may be located outside EU for purposes such as to support procurement of our Services, to measure the performance of marketing campaigns for our Services; and better understand your preferences so that we can customise our marketing campaigns and Services accordingly.

We also benefit from publicly available information from public authorities and local councils to verify that you have the correct license and certifications to run your business operations.
We make sure we have a legal basis to collect and use your personal information. The legal basis we rely on will change depending on the type of information and the context in which we collect it. Our main reason for collecting and using information obtained from third-party sources is to perform our contract with you, but we may also process it where it is in our legitimate business interests to do so in order to constantly improve our Services and make it even easier to partner with you.
Additional purposes
We will only use your personal data for the purposes described above, unless we reasonably consider that we need to use it for another reason and that reason is compatible with the original purpose.

Please note that we may process your personal data without your knowledge or consent, in compliance with the above rules, where required by applicable data protection law.
Automated decision-making and profiling
