For Merchants, this information includes photos you upload, your published listings, and additional information you may choose to add to your profile. Please be aware that certain information, such as your username and profile, together with the content uploaded by you, will be publicly displayed when you use such features.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

Data Retention

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

MainStroll will retain your personal information for no longer than necessary for the purposes for which the information is processed.
