Legal Bases and Permissions
Where applicable law requires a legal basis, we process personal information because it is necessary to provide the service, pursue our legitimate interests in operating and securing the platform, comply with legal obligations, or because you have given consent. Where processing depends on consent, you may withdraw it at any time, although that will not affect processing already completed.
Retention and Deletion
- We keep personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy.
- Retention periods may vary depending on account status, listing history, support needs, billing records, fraud prevention, dispute resolution, tax requirements, and legal obligations.
- When we no longer need personal information, we may delete it, de-identify it, or retain it in a limited form where legally permitted or required.
Account Deletion
You can request deletion of your M1 Hub account and associated personal data from the app or by email. See our Delete account page for the deletion steps, request email subject, retained data reasons, and partial data deletion options.
Your Choices and Privacy Rights
- You can review and update certain account, profile, listing, and notification information directly in the product.
- You may control device permissions, including location permissions, through your device or browser settings.
- Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, portability, or a copy of certain personal information.
- Where applicable law provides it, you may also have the right to withdraw consent, appeal a denied request, or opt out of certain forms of profiling, targeted advertising, sale, or sharing of personal information.
- To exercise available rights, contact us using the details in this policy. We may request information necessary to verify your identity and protect against unauthorized requests.
- You may also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority, including the Information Commissioner's Office in the UK.
International Transfers and Security
- Your information may be processed or stored in countries other than the country where you live.
- Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers, such as contractual protections or other lawful mechanisms.
- We use administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, but no method of transmission, storage, or security control is completely secure.
Children
M1 HUB is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. Where local law sets a higher age threshold for valid digital consent, we will apply that standard where required.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect legal, technical, or business developments. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and may provide additional notice where required by law.
