We collect information to provide a better browsing experience, display accurate local store availability, and support seller interactions:

• Geographical Data: With your explicit consent, we process your approximate location (e.g. zip code or browser geolocation coordinates) to query nearby physical sellers stocking your selected devices.
•  
• Account Information: For registered sellers or administrators, we collect email addresses, store names, contact details, business credentials, and password hashes for authentication.
•  
• Usage Information: We collect aggregate metadata regarding device comparisons, categories searched, and general traffic behavior using cookies to optimize performance.

2. How We Use Your Information

The information we collect is utilized for the following core purposes:

• To perform distance-sphere comparisons matching your coordinates with approved local sellers.

3. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade user location data or personal information. We may share information only in these specific scenarios:
