In addition to information that you explicitly make available to us (such as personal data and preferences on your profile), we collect technical information as part of fraud prevention, and anonymised statistics for insight into popular listings and pages.
Certain areas of our website require you to register first. You must then provide information about yourself, including a name and e-mail address. We use this information to create an account that you can log into with your e-mail address and one-time login tokens that you receive by e-mail.

You consent to this by accepting the Terms of Use. We will retain this information for six months after you close your account. You can change information via your account whenever you wish.
If you request a login token for the first time but have not logged in within 24 hours or do not accept the terms of use, your account will be deleted.

You can cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. Every newsletter contains an unsubscribe link.
You can register for search notifications via the website. The search notifications provide you with an overview of new listings that meet your requirements. We use your e-mail address and the preferences you have indicated to automatically determine which listings match. We do this on the basis of your consent.

We necessarily keep a record of when we have sent you an listing in order to prevent you from receiving the same one multiple times. We retain this information for six months after you close your account, or until the listing in question is deleted, one year after it expired.
Placing listings at AlpacaMarket works with credits, which you can buy in advance. See also section "Processing orders" for the data that is processed when purchasing credits.
Changes to your credit balance are saved and can be viewed via your account. We will retain this information for six months after you close your account.

With the exception of the parties required to provide our services, we do not under any circumstances give your personal data to other companies or institutions, except if we are legally obliged to do so (for example, if the police require it in the case of suspected crime). Below is a list of third parties and what data we share with them.
