Who can see your data
- Other users: your name or company, country, city, ratings and reviews appear with your listings and offers. Your email is not shown publicly.
- Service providers working for us under contract: our hosting provider (Hostinger), email delivery, AI translation and the AI help assistant (Anthropic, with Google or DeepL as backup translators), and a card payment provider if you choose to pay a Circuitus invoice by card. They may only use your data to provide their service to us.
- Authorities when the law requires it, for example for sanctions, tax or fraud investigations.
International transfers
Circuitus is a US company with users worldwide, so your data may be processed in the United States and other countries. For transfers out of the EU/UK, we rely on adequacy decisions or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses with our providers.
How long we keep it
- Account data: while your account is open, then deleted within 90 days of closing it.
- Records of completed deals and payments: up to 7 years, where tax or accounting laws require.
- Messages: 2 years after the last message in the conversation.
- Server logs: up to 90 days.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, delete or download your data, object to or limit how we use it, and withdraw consent where we rely on it. Email admin@circuitus.org; we answer within 30 days. In the EU/UK you can also complain to your data protection authority. California residents have the rights described in the CCPA/CPRA, including to know, delete and correct their data; we don't sell or share personal information for cross-context advertising.
Security
Passwords are stored as one-way hashes, the site uses HTTPS, and access to data is limited to people who need it. No system is perfectly secure; if a breach affects you, we will tell you as the law requires.
Children
Circuitus is not for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
