Reference Checks Disclaimer

Reference checks, seller references, transaction feedback, and community opinions available through the Platform or related community channels are provided by users for informational purposes only.

User Verification

Verification badges or verified account status indicate only that limited account, contact, or identity-related information was reviewed by OMAR BAY LLC for a specific platform purpose.

Identity Verification

Identity verification may be requested only in limited circumstances, including fraud prevention, suspicious activity review, dispute handling, escrow transactions, compliance review, sanctions screening where applicable, voluntary verification requests initiated by the user, platform security, or protection of Our rights and users.

Where appropriate and where it does not interfere with the verification purpose, users are encouraged to redact unnecessary personal information before submitting identification documents, including addresses or identification numbers not reasonably required for the applicable verification purpose.

OMAR BAY LLC seeks to collect only the minimum amount of information reasonably necessary for verification and platform safety purposes.

Identity documents are reviewed only by authorized OMAR BAY LLC personnel or service providers acting on Our behalf. Identity document images are retained only for as long as reasonably necessary to complete the applicable verification process, after which they are generally deleted or securely de-identified within a reasonable period, except where longer retention is reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, an active or anticipated dispute, platform security, enforcement, protection of Our legal rights, or compliance with applicable law, including anti-money-laundering, know-your-customer, and other legal or regulatory obligations applicable in the United States and Canada.

After deletion of identity document images, OMAR BAY LLC may retain a limited verification record, such as the user’s name, account identifier, email address, phone number, verification date, verification method, verification status, document type, last four digits or similar limited reference information where reasonably necessary, and internal fraud-prevention or compliance notes where reasonably necessary.

Data Retention

OMAR BAY LLC retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, dispute resolution, legal compliance, security, marketplace administration, escrow administration, and operational purposes.

Verification documents are reviewed only by authorized personnel and may be securely deleted or de-identified after verification unless longer retention is reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, dispute handling, legal obligations, platform security, enforcement, or protection of legal rights.

Transaction logs, moderation actions, fraud reports, and compliance records may be retained for longer periods where reasonably necessary to protect users, enforce policies, comply with legal obligations, or defend legal claims.

Retention of Account Contact Information

Even if identity document images are deleted, OMAR BAY LLC may retain certain account-level information, including email address, phone number, username, login identifiers, account history, transaction references, verification status, fraud-prevention notes, and communication records.

This information may be retained as long as reasonably necessary to operate the Platform, maintain account security, prevent fraud, enforce Our Terms of Service, Escrow Terms, and Community Rules, respond to disputes, comply with legal obligations, protect users, and defend legal claims.

Users may request deletion of their account information; however, We may retain limited records where permitted or required by law for fraud prevention, security, legal compliance, dispute resolution, accounting, tax, escrow, or enforcement of Our Terms of Service, Escrow Terms, and Community Rules.

Access, Correction, and Deletion Requests

Subject to applicable law and any permitted limitations or exceptions, users may request access to personal information held by OMAR BAY LLC, request corrections to inaccurate information, request deletion of certain personal information, and, where applicable, withdraw consent to certain processing.

Requests may require identity verification before processing. Certain records may be retained where required for fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, platform security, or enforcement purposes.

Security Incidents and Data Breaches

OMAR BAY LLC implements reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, misuse, or loss.

In the event of a security incident involving personal information where notification is required by applicable law, OMAR BAY LLC may notify affected users and applicable authorities in accordance with legal requirements.

Third-Party Platforms and Community Channels

OMAR BAY LLC communities may operate through third-party services and platforms including Facebook, Discord, WhatsApp, Google, Instagram, and similar providers.

These third-party services maintain independent privacy policies and data practices that are outside OMAR BAY LLC’s control. Users are encouraged to review the applicable privacy policies of those platforms before participating.

When We disclose personal information for a business purpose or a commercial purpose, We enter a contract that describes the purpose and requires the recipient to both keep that personal information confidential and not use it for any purpose except performing the contract.

  • Third party vendors to whom You or Your agents authorize Us to disclose Your personal information in connection with products or services We provide to You

Sale of Personal Information

As defined in the CCPA/CPRA, "sell" and "sale" mean selling, renting, releasing, disclosing, disseminating, making available, transferring, or otherwise communicating orally, in writing, or by electronic or other means, a Consumer's personal information by the Business to a third party for valuable consideration. This means that We may have received some kind of benefit in return for sharing personal information, but not necessarily a monetary benefit.

We do not sell personal information for money. We may, however, allow certain Service Providers, analytics providers, or advertising partners to process personal information for the business purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and some of those activities may be considered “sale,” “sharing,” or targeted advertising under California or other applicable U.S. privacy laws, depending on the circumstances.

Sale of Personal Information of Minors Under 16 Years of Age

We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors under the age of 13 through our Service, although certain third-party websites that we link to may do so. These third-party websites have their own terms of use and privacy policies, and We encourage parents and legal guardians to monitor their children's Internet usage and instruct their children to never provide information on other websites without their permission.

We do not sell the personal information of Consumers We actually know are less than 16 years of age, unless We receive affirmative authorization (the "right to opt-in") from either the Consumer who is between 13 and 16 years of age, or the parent or guardian of a Consumer less than 13 years of age. Consumers who opt-in to the sale of personal information may opt-out of future sales at any time. To exercise the right to opt-out, You (or Your authorized representative) may submit a request to Us by contacting Us.

If You have reason to believe that a child under the age of 13 (or 16) has provided Us with personal information, please contact Us with sufficient detail to enable Us to delete that information.
