Privacy Policy

Last Updated: October 2026

1. Data Collection

At Colombo Ads, we respect your privacy. We collect minimal personal data required to provide our services. When you register or post an ad, we may collect your name, email address, and phone number to facilitate communication between buyers and sellers.

2. How We Use Your Data

Your data is used exclusively to:

• Create and manage your user account.
• Display your contact information on the advertisements you choose to post.
• Process payments securely via third-party gateways (e.g., PayHere).
• Send you important system notifications or account updates.

3. Data Protection and Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to others. Your data is stored securely on our servers. We may share necessary transaction details with payment processors solely for the purpose of completing your requested purchases (e.g., purchasing a Top Ad).

4. Cookies

Our website uses "cookies" to enhance user experience, keep you logged in, and remember your preferences. You may choose to set your web browser to refuse cookies, but some parts of the site may not function properly as a result.

5. Payment Security

Colombo Ads does not store your credit card or bank details. All electronic payments are processed directly by secure, PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment gateways (such as PayHere).

6. Your Rights

You have the right to access, modify, or delete your personal data at any time by logging into your account dashboard. If you wish to completely remove your account, please contact our support team.
