Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Islander Connect collects, uses, stores, and protects personal information across buyer, seller, partner, admin, and support workflows.

We may collect account identifiers, profile information, legal acceptance records, shipping addresses, storefront and listing data, order information, payment metadata, notification records, and operational logs.

We use personal information to authenticate users, enforce compliance, process orders, manage storefronts, deliver notifications, support payouts, investigate abuse, and operate the platform safely.

Sensitive payment credentials are handled by Stripe. Islander Connect stores only the minimum provider identifiers and payment state needed for order processing, subscription sync, payouts, and operational review.

Buyer shipping addresses are collected only for order fulfillment, order support, fraud prevention, and checkout readiness. We do not collect date of birth or sensitive identity information for standard buyer shipping use.

Agreement acceptance records, onboarding completion data, and operational logs may be retained to demonstrate compliance, support audits, and protect the platform.

We share data only with service providers, sellers, buyers, administrators, and legal authorities as needed to operate the platform, complete a transaction, or meet legal obligations.

We retain data for as long as necessary to operate the platform, resolve disputes, comply with law, and support auditability. We apply access controls, server-side validation, secret handling, and provider-level security boundaries to reduce risk.

Users may request profile updates, account support, or legal-document review through available platform channels. Some operational records may be retained even after access changes where legal or operational necessity applies.
