Privacy Policy
Effective date: April 21, 2025
Your listings live on your own PDS — not our servers.
Because Open Market is built on the AT Protocol, the content you publish stays on your own Personal Data Server. We index it for discovery, but we don't own it and can't hold it hostage.
Introduction
This Privacy Policy describes how Open Market collects, uses, and protects information. Most of your data — including your listings — lives on your own Personal Data Server (PDS), not ours.
Information We Collect
What we don't collect
AT Protocol password, payment details, private messages, PDS data beyond public records
What we do collect
Atmosphere handle/DID (via OAuth), session tokens, analytics, support emails
Identity & Authentication
We never receive your password. OAuth tokens are stored in your browser, not our servers.
Listing & Storefront Content
Listings are published as public ATProto records to your PDS. We only index them to power the marketplace.
Usage Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand service usage. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify you personally.
How We Use Information
Operating the Service
To authenticate you and display your storefront to others.
Product Improvement
Analytics help us decide which features to build next.
Customer Support
To respond to your inquiries and troubleshoot issues.
Data Storage & Security
Listing Content
Stored on the AT Protocol network via your PDS. Removing a listing de-indexes it from Open Market.
Session Tokens
Stored in your browser and never held by our servers.
Operational Data
Analytics and logs are stored on secure, encrypted servers.
Your Rights & Choices
Access & Delete
You can request your data or delete listings directly from your Atmosphere account.
Revoke Access
You can revoke OAuth access at any time from your Atmosphere settings.
Cookies & Tracking
We use essential cookies for sessions. We do not use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies.
AT Protocol Association
Open Market is an independent platform built on the AT Protocol. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Bluesky Social, PBC.
Changes & Contact
We may update this policy. Contact us at support@openmkt.app for inquiries.
