Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 24, 2026

Salas Family Enterprise, LLC ("we," "our," or "us") operates the Yard Sign Hunters mobile application and website. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our platform.

1. Information We Collect

To provide a reliable, community-driven marketplace mapping experience, we collect the following categories of information:

Location Data: Real-time GPS coordinates to map yard sign locations and show you nearby listings.
Account Details: Your name, email address, username, and profile preferences.
Uploaded Content: Photos of yard signs, sale descriptions, dates, times, and associated notes that you choose to post.
Device Information: Technical data about your mobile device, operating system, IP address, and hardware model.

2. How We Use Your Data

We use the collected information for purposes core to the app's functionality:

To display active, crowdsourced yard signs to other users in your geographic area.
To verify the accuracy and integrity of reported sign locations.
To send you customized alerts or updates about new signs matching your filters.
To manage your account, process subscriptions, and improve overall app performance.

3. Legal Bases for Processing Your Data

If you access our platform from regions requiring a lawful basis for processing personal data (such as the European Economic Area or United Kingdom), we rely on the following legal bases:

Performance of a Contract: We process your Account Details and Uploaded Content under this basis. This data is strictly necessary to fulfill our terms of service with you, manage your account, and provide core app features like crowdsourcing and displaying your marketplace pins to other users.
Consent: We rely on your explicit consent to collect and process your precise Location Data (GPS coordinates) and to serve Personalized Advertisements via Google AdMob. You can withdraw your consent at any time by changing your device's native location or tracking settings.
Legitimate Interests: We process your Device Information and anonymized transaction logs based on our legitimate business interests. These interests include monitoring app stability, fixing bugs, preventing fraud, verifying listing integrity, and optimizing overall app performance.
Compliance with Legal Obligations: We may process your information, such as subscription status or billing metadata, to comply with applicable tax laws, financial auditing, or valid law enforcement requests.

4. Third-Party Service Providers & Infrastructure

We do not sell your personal data, crowdsourced locations, or account credentials to third-party data brokers. To operate our platform securely, we partner with trusted technical infrastructure providers:

Firebase Authentication: Securely manages user sign-ins, account creation, and credentials.
Cloud Firestore: Serves as our cloud database to securely store and sync user-generated marketplace listings, pin details, and account metadata.
RevenueCat: Manages and validates in-app subscriptions and premium tiers. RevenueCat handles anonymized transaction receipts to verify purchase status. All financial billing details and card processing are handled entirely by the Apple App Store or Google Play Store; we do not access or store your financial billing details.

5. Third-Party Advertising & Data Tracking (AdMob)

To keep our baseline services free, we partner with Google AdMob to serve advertisements within the application.

Data Collected: AdMob may collect and use specific device identifiers (such as your device's advertising ID, IP address, and hardware model) to show you relevant ads, limit ad frequency, and measure ad performance.
Personalized Ads: Based on your explicit consent, which you provide when opening the app or through your device settings, AdMob may serve personalized ads. You can manage, limit, or reset these tracking identifiers at any time through your iOS or Android device privacy settings.

6. Data Retention & Deletion

Listing Data: We retain your listing data as long as the yard sale listing is active. Once a listing is deleted by a user or automatically expires (every Sunday just before midnight), it is removed from our live database immediately. It may remain in secure, encrypted backups for up to 30 days before permanent purging.
Account Deletion: You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data at any time. You can initiate this immediately by using the "Delete Account" button within the Edit Profile settings of the app. Alternatively, you can email our support team at support@yardsignhunters.com (please use the subject line "Delete Account"). Upon request, we will permanently delete your account information within 7 business days.

7. Your Rights & Choices

You maintain full control over your data:

Access & Correction: You may request a copy of the data we store about you or request updates to inaccurate information by contacting us.
Location Controls: You can enable or disable location tracking at any time via your mobile device’s native application settings. Disabling location tracking will limit your ability to map new signs or view sales near your immediate location.
Push Notifications: You can manage or disable push notifications at any time via your device's application notification settings.

8. Children's Privacy

Our platform is not intended for use by children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided us with personal information, we will take steps to delete such information immediately.
