When you use NoMarkupTextbooks, we collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, school or university, textbook listing details (photos, ISBN, condition, price), and messages you exchange with other users through our messaging system. We also collect basic usage information such as pages visited and general device/browser information to keep the service secure and improve it.
We use your information to operate the marketplace — displaying your listings, enabling buyer/seller messaging, sending notifications you opt into (such as course watchlist and wanted-listing alerts), scheduling meetup reminders, and keeping your account secure. We do not sell your personal information.
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies (such as the DoubleClick cookie) enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.
Listing details you publish (book information, photos, your display name, and seller rating) are visible to other users of the site. Private messages are only visible to you and the person you are messaging. We may share limited information with service providers who help us operate the site (such as hosting and email delivery), and we may disclose information if required by law.
You can edit or delete your listings at any time from your dashboard. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal data by contacting us. We retain information only as long as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations.
NoMarkupTextbooks is intended for college students and other adult users. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including secure authentication and encrypted connections (HTTPS). However, no online service can guarantee absolute security, so please use strong, unique passwords and be careful about what you share in messages.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date.
