OrcaSource LLC ("OrcaSource," "we," "us," or "our") operates the OrcaSource platform, website, and mobile application (collectively, the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, share, and protect information about you when you use the Platform.
By creating an account or using the Platform, you agree to the collection and use of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must discontinue use of the Platform immediately.
OrcaSource is a classified listings and private messaging platform. We are not a marketplace, payment processor, or transaction intermediary. All transactions between users occur entirely off-platform, and we are not responsible for any such transactions.
When you create an account or use the Platform, we may collect:
When you use the Platform, we automatically collect certain technical and usage data, including:
We may receive information about you from third-party services you use to log in or connect to the Platform, such as Google or Apple sign-in, including your name and email address as provided by those services. We may also receive analytics data from third-party analytics providers.
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
OrcaSource uses engagement data — including views, saves, clicks, likes, comments, and search queries — to rank and order listings displayed to users. This algorithmic ranking determines which listings appear more prominently on the Platform based on recency, engagement metrics, category relevance, and search relevance. We may use your usage patterns to personalize your experience, including surfacing listings we believe may be relevant to you based on your activity.
OrcaSource's messaging system stores private messages, offers, and related communications on our servers as part of normal platform operation. While we do not routinely read private messages, we reserve the right to access, review, and disclose message content in the following circumstances:
By using the Platform's messaging system, you acknowledge and consent to the storage of your messages on OrcaSource's servers and to our potential access to such messages as described above. You should not use the Platform's messaging system to communicate information you wish to remain completely private.
OrcaSource does not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. Period.
Certain information you provide is publicly visible on the Platform, including your username, profile photo, bio, bio link, listings you post, and reviews you give or receive. Do not post information in public-facing areas of the Platform that you wish to keep private.
We share information with trusted third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Platform, including:
All service providers are contractually obligated to use your information only as directed by OrcaSource and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We may disclose your information if we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to:
If OrcaSource is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or bankruptcy proceeding, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing.
OrcaSource does not currently display third-party advertisements on the Platform. We intend to introduce advertising features in the future. When we do, this Privacy Policy will be updated to describe what data, if any, is shared with advertising partners. Any such advertising will be conducted in compliance with applicable law and will be clearly disclosed to users. We will not share your private messages or sensitive personal information with advertisers.
OrcaSource uses cookies, local storage, and similar tracking technologies to operate and improve the Platform. These technologies help us:
Most browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Platform. We do not currently respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, but we will update this policy if that changes.
We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with the Platform's services. Specifically:
OrcaSource implements reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, loss, destruction, or alteration. These measures include encryption of data in transit, secure server infrastructure, and access controls limiting who within OrcaSource can access user data.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. Please notify us immediately at orcasourcemarketplace@gmail.com if you suspect any unauthorized access to your account.
You may access and update most of your account information directly through your profile settings on the Platform.
You may request deletion of your account by contacting us at orcasourcemarketplace@gmail.com or using the account deletion feature within the Platform if available. Upon deletion, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within a reasonable period, subject to our legal retention obligations.
You may opt out of promotional communications from OrcaSource by following the unsubscribe instructions in any such communication or by contacting us directly. You cannot opt out of administrative and account-related communications.
You may request a copy of your personal information by contacting us at orcasourcemarketplace@gmail.com. We will respond to reasonable requests within a reasonable timeframe.
OrcaSource is intended solely for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. Age verification on the Platform is based on self-attestation at the time of account creation. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a user under 18, we will take steps to delete that information and terminate the account promptly.
If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child under 18 has created an account on the Platform, please contact us immediately at orcasourcemarketplace@gmail.com.
The Platform is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children under 13 in violation of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).
OrcaSource is operated from the United States and our servers are located in the United States. If you access the Platform from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your country of residence.
If you are located in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or Switzerland, you may have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) or applicable local law, including:
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us at orcasourcemarketplace@gmail.com. We will respond to all requests in accordance with applicable law. Please note that some rights may be limited where we have a legitimate legal basis for processing or a legal obligation to retain data.
OrcaSource's legal basis for processing personal data of EEA users includes: performance of a contract (providing the Platform services), legitimate interests (security, fraud prevention, platform improvement), legal obligations, and consent where applicable.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, the Platform, or applicable law. When we make material changes, we will notify you by posting the updated policy on the Platform and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we may provide additional notice such as an email notification or an in-app alert.
Your continued use of the Platform after the effective date of any updated Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically.
