At Bidlet.app (“Bidlet,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), we care deeply about the privacy and safety of our users—especially children. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and protect information when you use our platform. Please read this carefully, and if you have any questions, reach out to us at hello@bidlet.app.

1. Who We Are

Bidlet is an online marketplace designed for kids to showcase and sell their artwork in a safe, supportive environment. Because our platform involves children, we take privacy and data protection extremely seriously.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect the following types of information:

  • Account Information: Name, email address, and (for children under 13) parent/guardian details.

  • Profile Details: Usernames, display names, or short bios provided voluntarily.

  • Artwork & Listings: Photos, descriptions, and pricing of uploaded artwork.

  • Payment Information: We do not store payment details directly. Payments are processed securely through third-party services (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, or other child-safe financial tools).

  • Usage Data: Device type, browser type, IP address, and activity logs (to improve security and user experience).

3. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

  • Create and manage user accounts.

  • Display artwork and manage marketplace listings.

  • Process payments (via secure third parties).

  • Keep the platform safe (monitoring inappropriate content or misuse).

  • Improve and personalize user experience.

  • Communicate updates, changes, or support messages.

4. Children’s Privacy

Because Bidlet is designed for kids, we comply with applicable child privacy laws (such as COPPA in the United States).

  • Children under 13 must have verified parental consent to create an account.

  • Parents/guardians can review, edit, or delete their child’s information by contacting us at bidlet@toby-lopata.com.

  • We never sell children’s personal information.

5. Sharing Information

We only share information when necessary, including:

  • With payment processors (to handle transactions securely).

  • With service providers (e.g., hosting, analytics, moderation tools).

  • To comply with legal obligations, safety, or fraud prevention.

We never sell or rent user data.

6. Data Security

We use industry-standard measures to protect user data, including encryption, secure servers, and strict access controls. However, no system is 100% secure, so we encourage parents and kids to use the platform responsibly.

7. Data Retention

  • We retain information for as long as accounts remain active.

  • Parents/guardians may request account deletion at any time.

  • Deleted data may remain in secure backups for a limited time.

8. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:

  • Access the information we hold about you.

  • Correct or update information.

  • Request deletion of your account and personal information.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make significant changes, we’ll notify users by email or in-app notification.
