3. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

3.1 Lead Matching

When a Service Provider unlocks a lead, the lead's contact information (name, email, phone, project details) is shared with that Service Provider so they can follow up. Service Provider business profiles (company name, services, location) are visible to users as part of the matching process.

We use trusted third-party services to operate the Platform, including:

• PayPal: for processing payments
• Email services: for sending notifications and communications

These providers only access your data as necessary to perform their functions and are obligated to protect it.

We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Daves Leads, our users, or the public.

4. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information, including:

• Encrypted passwords (never stored in plain text)
• Secure session management with JWT tokens
• CSRF protection on all form submissions
• Rate limiting to prevent abuse
• HTTPS encryption for all data in transit

While we strive to protect your data, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.
