Information you provide when you place an advertisement on the Website
We use certain features to protect the privacy of our customers when they are communicating via phone or email. We recommend that all customers placing an advert select Contact Number Protection at the point of entering their phone number. Contact Number Protection enables you to keep your telephone number private by providing you with a substitute telephone number to use in your advert. Contact Number Protection automatically applies unless you opt out at the time you place your advert. Please be aware that if you opt out, your personal telephone number will be visible within your advert.
We supply a customer to customer e mail solution that allows people who are viewing your advert to contact you through a link on your advert without seeing your email address. We use this to strip out any potentially harmful or spurious links that may expose you to fraudulent activity. This email solution is not optional.

Payment Card information is collected over a secure connection and all payment transactions will be encrypted.
