Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2026

1. Introduction

Wayntek ("we," "us," or "our") operates the Boats For Sale marketplace, including boatsforsalephoenix.com and all associated state domains (collectively, the "Platform"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you use our Platform. By accessing or using the Platform, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Information You Provide

  • Account information: Name, email address, phone number, and password when you create an account.
  • Dealer information: Business name, city, state, and contact details for dealer account applications.
  • Listing content: Boat descriptions, photographs, pricing, location, and other details you include in listings.
  • Communications: Messages sent through our contact forms, support inquiries, and seller/buyer communications.
  • Payment information: Payment details are processed by PayPal. We do not store your credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers.

Information Collected Automatically

  • Usage data: Pages visited, search queries, listings viewed, and features used.
  • Device information: Browser type, operating system, screen resolution, and device identifiers.
  • Network information: IP address, referring URLs, and approximate geographic location derived from your IP address.
  • Engagement data: Listing views, phone number reveals, email reveals, and contact form submissions (tracked as leads for seller analytics).

3. How We Use Your Information

  • Provide services: Operate the marketplace, display listings, facilitate communication between buyers and sellers, and process payments.
  • Seller analytics: Provide listing performance data including views, phone reveals, email reveals, and contact form submissions.
  • Account management: Manage your account, verify your identity, and respond to your requests.
  • Communication: Send transactional emails (verification, password reset, listing updates), and service announcements.
  • Safety and fraud prevention: Detect and prevent fraudulent listings, spam, abuse, and violations of our Terms of Service.
  • Platform improvement: Analyze usage patterns to improve our features, performance, and user experience.
  • Legal compliance: Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.

4. How We Share Your Information

  • With buyers and sellers: When a buyer requests your contact information through a listing (phone reveal or email reveal), we share the information you provided in your listing. This is the core function of our marketplace.
  • Service providers: We work with third-party service providers for email delivery (Postmark), payment processing (PayPal), image hosting, and infrastructure. These providers access your data only as needed to perform their services.
  • Legal requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of our users and the public.
  • Business transfers: If we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for advertising or marketing purposes.

5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Maintain your authentication session so you stay signed in.
  • Remember your preferences and settings.
  • Track listing engagement (views, phone reveals, email reveals) to provide seller analytics.
  • Analyze platform usage to improve our services.

Most browsers allow you to control cookies through settings. Disabling cookies may affect your ability to use certain features, such as staying signed in.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. Listing data for published listings is retained while the listing is active and for a reasonable period after expiration or sale to support the Sold Boats archive and market price research. We retain usage analytics in aggregated, non-identifiable form indefinitely. You may request deletion of your personal data at any time (see Your Rights below).

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your personal information, including:

  • Passwords are salted and hashed using bcrypt; we never store plaintext passwords.
  • All data is transmitted over HTTPS (TLS encryption) between your browser and our servers.
  • Payment processing is handled entirely by PayPal's PCI-compliant infrastructure.
  • Database access is restricted and monitored.

While we take reasonable steps to protect your data, no system is completely secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

8. Your Privacy Rights

You have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: Update or correct inaccurate information through your dashboard settings or by contacting us.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your account and associated personal data. Some data may be retained as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.
  • Opt-out: Unsubscribe from marketing communications using the link in any email, or by updating your notification preferences.

To exercise these rights, email us at [email protected] or use the account settings in your dashboard.

9. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

If you are a California resident, you have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • The right to know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose.
  • The right to request deletion of your personal information.
  • The right to opt out of the "sale" of personal information. Note: we do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA.
  • The right to non-discrimination for exercising your privacy rights.

To submit a CCPA request, email [email protected] with the subject line "CCPA Request."

10. Children's Privacy

Our Platform is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 13, we will take steps to delete it promptly. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected].

11. Third-Party Services

Our Platform integrates with the following third-party services, each with its own privacy policy:

  • PayPal: For payment processing of listing upgrades and dealer subscriptions.
  • Postmark: For transactional email delivery (verification, password reset, notifications).

We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

12. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Your continued use of the Platform after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
