FusionTech Industries LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the Kurb platform at kurbsale.com — an online marketplace that allows individual sellers (“Sellers”) to host garage and estate sales and buyers (“Buyers”) to browse and submit purchase offers. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, share, and retain personal information in connection with the Kurb platform. Please read this policy carefully. By using the platform you acknowledge that you have read and understood it.
The data controller for personal information processed through kurbsale.com is:

Kurb is a multi-tenant SaaS platform. FusionTech Industries LLC acts as the platform operator and a data controller. When Buyers interact with a Seller’s Storefront, both FusionTech and the Seller determine the purposes and means of processing Buyer personal information. Accordingly, FusionTech and each Seller are joint data controllers of Buyer Data under GDPR Article 26. The joint controller arrangement — including each party’s respective responsibilities and the primary point of contact for data subject rights — is set out in Section 7 of the Seller Terms of Service, available at kurbsale.com/terms. A summary for data subjects is available on request. Buyers are visitors who browse and submit offers without needing an account.
Buyers can browse the platform without providing any personal information. We collect the following information about Buyers:
| Data Element | When Collected | Required? | Opt-Out? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Session identifier (random UUID) | First visit to any Kurb storefront | Yes — always | No |
| Name | Submitting an offer or subscribing to a sale | Yes (for offers) | No |
| Email address | Submitting an offer or subscribing to a sale | Yes (for offers) | No |
| Phone number | Submitting an offer or subscribing to a sale | No | N/A |
| Offer amount | Submitting an offer | Yes | No |
| Message content | Asking a question about an item | Yes | No |
| Outbid alert preference | Submitting an offer | No | Yes |
Buyer contact information (name, email, phone) is stored in the Seller’s database record, tied to the specific offer or subscription. It is not stored in a central Buyer profile. The same session identifier is reused when a Buyer visits multiple Sellers’ storefronts on the platform (cross-Seller session persistence). If a Buyer consents to Personalization storage, their name, email, and phone are also saved in their browser for form pre-fill convenience. Server-side offer data is stored regardless of this browser consent.
When a Seller creates an account, we collect:
When a prospective Seller begins creating a sale but has not yet completed payment, we save their progress so they can resume — including from a different device — rather than starting over. This sign-up draft is linked to the Seller’s Clerk account and may include:
This information is collected to let the Seller finish creating the account they have started — it is processed to deliver the service requested, not for analytics or marketing purposes, and for that reason is not gated on cookie consent. If payment is completed, the draft is deleted immediately and the relevant information becomes part of the Seller account described in Section 4.2. If payment is not completed, the draft is deleted automatically after a period of inactivity (see Section 9). A Seller can also delete their draft at any time using the “Start Over” option in the sign-up wizard.
We use Buyer information for the following purposes:
We use Seller information for the following purposes:
For individuals in the European Economic Area (EEA) or United Kingdom, our legal bases for processing personal information are:
| Legal Basis | Activity |
|---|---|
| Contract performance (Art. 6(1)(b)) | Processing Buyer offer data to facilitate the purchase transaction; processing Seller account data, including sign-up drafts prior to payment, to provide the platform service the Seller has requested |
| Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) | Session identification for platform functionality; fraud prevention; platform security |
| Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) | Outbid alerts (optional); Personalization browser storage; optional analytics |
We do not sell personal information to third parties. We do not share data with advertising networks. We share personal information only with the following service providers, strictly for the purposes described:
| Service Provider | Data Shared | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Clerk (clerk.com) | Seller email, identity metadata | Seller account authentication and identity management |
| Stripe (stripe.com) | Seller identity, billing information | Subscription payment processing |
| Resend (resend.com) | Buyer name, email, phone, message content, offer details | Transactional email delivery (outbid alerts, session recovery, confirmations) |
| Cloudflare | All platform traffic, IP addresses, uploaded images | Hosting, content delivery network (CDN), image storage (R2) |
Each service provider is subject to contractual data protection obligations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own privacy policies.
When a Buyer submits an offer or subscribes to a Seller’s sale, the Buyer’s name, email address, phone number, offer amount, and any message content are made available to that Seller through the platform dashboard. Sellers may also write and store private notes about Buyers. As joint data controllers, Sellers are independently responsible for handling Buyer personal information in compliance with applicable data protection law. Seller obligations — including permitted uses of Buyer Data, data security requirements, and cooperation with data subject requests — are set out in Section 7 of the Seller Terms of Service.
Kurb uses browser localStorage — not cookies — for all client-side data storage. No tracking pixels, advertising cookies, or third-party analytics are deployed.
| Category | What Is Stored | Opt-Out Available? |
|---|---|---|
| Strictly Necessary | Session identifier, consent preferences | No — required for platform functionality |
| Personalization (opt-in) | Buyer name, email, phone (for form pre-fill); referral code, if you arrived via a referral link | Yes — via the consent banner |
| Analytics (opt-in) | A per-tab session identifier, and a repeat-visit marker, used to count page views, clicks on primary buttons, time on page, and progress through sign-up | Yes — via the consent banner. Nothing is recorded unless you opt in |
A consent banner is displayed on first visit. Consent preferences are stored in the browser and can be updated at any time. Analytics are off until you opt in: if you decline, or have not yet answered the banner, no analytics session identifier is created and no usage events are recorded. Analytics measurements are aggregate counts tied only to a per-tab identifier that is discarded when you close the tab; they contain no name, email, or other identifying information, and are not used for advertising or shared with advertisers.
If you arrive on the platform through a referral link, the referral code in that link is stored in your browser for up to 30 days so it can be applied as a discount if you sign up, and is deleted automatically once you complete payment or once 30 days pass, whichever happens first. This is classified as personalization and requires your consent. If you decline personalization the code is not stored at all, and we tell you so at the time, because it means the referral discount will not be applied automatically — you can still enter the code by hand during sign-up. The code identifies the referral you followed; it is not used to track you across other sites.
All platform data is stored on infrastructure operated by Cloudflare, Inc., located in the United States:
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, or disclosure.
We retain personal information for the following periods:
| Data Category | Retention Period |
|---|---|
| Buyer offer data | 1 to 4 weeks after the end of the Seller's paid period. |
| Buyer subscriber records | 1 to 4 weeks after the end of the Seller's paid period. |
| Seller notes about Buyers | 1 to 4 weeks after the end of the Seller's paid period. |
| Item images (R2) | 1 to 4 weeks after the end of the Seller's paid period. |
| Seller account data | Seller login authentication data is retained indefinitely via Clerk to allow future access. |
| Sign-up drafts (pre-payment) | Deleted immediately upon successful payment. If payment is never completed, deleted automatically after up to 30 days of inactivity. A Seller may also delete their draft sooner via “Start Over.” |
| Unpublished sale content (items, images) | Deleted automatically after up to 30 days without seller activity if the sale is never published; deleted immediately if the seller deletes the sale. |
| Referral code (browser storage) | Up to 30 days from when the referral link was followed, or immediately upon successful payment, whichever comes first. |
| Email delivery logs | Per Resend’s retention policy (see resend.com/privacy) |
| Authentication data | Per Clerk’s retention policy (see clerk.com/privacy) |
You may contact us at any time to ask questions about this policy or our data practices. Sellers may request account deletion directly through the "Delete Account" button within the dashboard. Buyers may request access or deletion by contacting privacy@kurbsale.com.
