Garib is a neighbourhood marketplace. This page says what we collect, why, and how to get it removed.
What we collect on this website
Waitlist: your email, the page language, and, only if you choose to give them, your city and phone type (iPhone or Android). We also record how you found us (the referring site and any utm_ tags in the link).
Feature board: the ideas and votes you post, plus a random anonymous ID stored in your browser so one person can't vote twice. It isn't linked to your name or email.
What we collect in the app
To verify your district, the app asks for your location while you use it and checks that it falls inside the district boundary. Verification stays valid for 180 days. Chats and listings you create are stored so the people you talk to can see them.
Analytics (Google Analytics 4)
If you click Accept on our cookie banner, we use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages and sources work. It sets cookies (named _ga and _ga_…) and records pages viewed, approximate location (country and city, derived from your IP address, which Google does not store), device and browser type, the site you came from, and actions such as joining the waitlist or tapping Share. We never send your email address to Google Analytics.
We turn off Google's advertising features (Google signals and ad personalisation) and don't use this data for advertising. Google may process it on servers outside Saudi Arabia. We keep analytics data for up to 14 months.
If you click Decline, nothing is loaded or sent. You can change your choice at any time with the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom of our pages, or block cookies in your browser. Google also offers a browser add-on to opt out of Google Analytics.
How we use it
We use your email only to tell you when your district opens and about Garib's launch. We don't sell your data and we don't run advertising trackers on this site.
Where it's stored
Data is stored with our database provider, Supabase. Access is limited to the Garib team.
Your choices
Email hello@garib.net to see, correct or delete anything we hold about you, including removing your email from the waitlist. We'll respond promptly.
