Privacy policy

Version 2026-08-v1. Ecuador's Organic Law on Personal Data Protection (LOPDP).

Who processes your data

Controller: Raw With Peace / Monica Anderson, Vilcabamba (Ecuador). Contact: through the market's WhatsApp or the website form.

What we store and why

If you sign up as a vendor: the name or nickname you want to appear under, your zone (only the town, never your address), the category and description of what you offer, the languages you speak, a photo if you upload one, and your WhatsApp number. The sole purpose is for the community to find and contact you. We do not ask for ID numbers, date of birth, exact address or any details about minors.

If you sign up for a gathering: your name and the role you take. The "look after the kids" role records only the adult volunteer.

Your WhatsApp number is never public

It is stored in a separate table that the website cannot read. It is handed out one at a time, with a limit per person and hour, only when someone taps "Message on WhatsApp" on your profile. Every hand-out is logged to detect abuse. We recommend a dedicated WhatsApp Business number.

Legal basis and retention

Your consent, given by ticking the box on the form (we store the date and version). Published profiles are kept for as long as you want to be listed. Rejected or incomplete profiles are deleted after 90 days.

Your rights

You can request access, correction, deletion, objection or portability of your data at any time by writing to the administrator. We reply within 15 working days at most. Deletion is real: your profile, your phone number and the related log are erased.

Where it is stored

On Supabase servers (database, US East region) and Vercel (website), outside Ecuador, encrypted in transit and at rest. We do not sell or share data with third parties. Automatic translation: the text of your description (without your phone or name) may be sent to an AI translation service to offer it in Spanish and English.

Cookies

We use no tracking cookies or third-party analytics. The form keeps a draft on your own phone so you do not lose what you wrote if the connection drops.
