When you use Circova, some info is visible to help people buy and sell locally.


What others see

Your public profile:
  • Display name

  • Profile photo (if you add one)

  • Bio

  • General location (like your neighborhood or city area)

  • Active listings

  • Items you've marked as sold

  • Reviews you wrote for other users

  • Reviews you've received

Others can't see:
  • Your phone number (unless you share it)

  • Your email address

  • Your exact address

  • Your purchase history

  • Your saved searches

  • Items you've viewed


Control your privacy

You can:
  • Choose your display name

  • Skip adding a profile photo

  • Remove listings anytime

  • Block specific users

  • Report inappropriate behavior


Location sharing: We show your general area to connect you with nearby buyers and sellers. Your exact location stays private.


Messaging:Chat history is between you and the other person only. Circova monitors for safety but doesn't share your conversations.


Quick tips

  • Only share contact info when you're ready to meet

  • Meet in public places

  • Don't share payment details in the app

  • Review our Community Guidelines for safe trading

Remember: You control what you share beyond your basic profile. Keep personal details private until you're comfortable.
