- Content you post: photos, descriptions, prices and location (latitude/longitude if you use “use my location”) for items you list.
- Messages: text messages you send to other users inside the app.

3. Data sharing
We do NOT sell your personal data. We do not share data with third parties for marketing. Content you publish yourself (display name, listings, photos) is visible to other Lupit users.
