Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This policy explains which personal data Weydaa processes, why, where it is hosted, how long it is kept and how to exercise your rights, in accordance with Algerian Law No. 18-07 of 10 June 2018 on the protection of natural persons in the processing of personal data.
1. Data controller
The data controller is EURL Groupe Hadji Web, publisher of the Weydaa website and app, Algiers, Algeria. Contact: contact@weydaa.com.
2. Data processed
Depending on how you use Weydaa, we process:
- Account: name, email address, password (stored in irreversibly encrypted form) and language; with “Continue with Google”: the name, email and photo provided by Google
- Phone (optional): the number shown on your listings, revealed only to signed-in users who request it
- Listings: title, description, price, photos, wilaya, commune and features
- Messaging: your messages, price offers and their read status
- Reviews, reports, favourites and search alerts
- Contact form: name, email and message
- Technical data: IP address and account identifier for security and abuse limiting, server technical logs
- Notifications: the notification identifier of your browser or device
- Only with your consent: audience measurement and Google Ads measurement (see “Cookies”)
3. Purposes and legal bases
- Creating and managing your account, publishing your listings, putting you in touch with other users: performance of the terms of use
- Sending service emails and notifications (listing approval, new message, offer): performance of the service
- Moderating listings, detecting and preventing fraud and abuse, protecting accounts: legitimate interest in protecting users
- Measuring site audience and the effectiveness of our ads: your consent, which you can withdraw at any time
- Responding to requests from competent authorities: legal obligation
4. Automated moderation and ranking
Every listing is analysed automatically when it is published by an artificial intelligence service (OpenRouter, which passes it to a Google model). Only the title, description, price, location and features are sent, never your name, email or phone number: so do not put your contact details in the description. If the analysis is favourable, the listing is published; otherwise a moderator reviews it and alone decides on any refusal. By default, “Featured” listings appear first in results.
5. Messaging
Your messages are only read by the person you are talking to. If a conversation is reported, the moderation team may view it; every such view is logged. A deleted message is hidden immediately and its content is erased within 30 days.
6. Service providers and hosting locations
Weydaa does not sell or rent your data. It is entrusted to the following providers, each only for what its service requires:
- Vercel: website hosting and technical logs; US company, servers in the Paris region (France)

7. Transfers outside Algeria
Most of these providers are located outside Algeria (European Union, United States): your data is transferred to them so that the service can work. We limit the data sent to each of them to what is strictly necessary, and exchanges are encrypted (HTTPS).
8. Retention periods

9. Your rights
At any time, you can:

- Erase it: “Delete my account” in Settings; erasure is real, including in our audience measurement tool
- Object to processing or withdraw your consent: “Manage cookies”, at the bottom of the page or in Settings
For any request: contact@weydaa.com. If you believe your rights are not respected, you can refer the matter to the Algerian personal data protection authority (ANPDP).
10. Cookies and audience measurement
Weydaa uses strictly necessary cookies and local storage: sign-in session, preferences, listing draft. Only with your consent, and separately: (1) PostHog audience measurement, hosted in the European Union (pages viewed and journeys, without your name, email, phone number or the content of your messages, and without session recording); “For you” suggestions are then computed on your device; (2) Google Ads measurement (Google cookies), which counts sign-ups and listings posted thanks to our ads, without personalised advertising. Until you make a choice, nothing is loaded.
You can change your choices at any time:
11. Minors
Weydaa is intended for people aged at least 19. We do not knowingly collect data about minors: if you believe a minor has sent us data, write to us so that it can be deleted.
12. Security
Weydaa implements technical and organisational measures to protect your data: HTTPS/TLS encryption, irreversibly encrypted passwords (bcrypt), login attempt limiting, secure authentication tokens.
13. Android app
In addition to the data described above, the Weydaa Android app processes:
- Sign-in tokens: stored on your device, encrypted (Android Keystore), and erased when you sign out
- Push notifications: sent through Firebase Cloud Messaging (Google). A device identifier (notification token) is linked to your account to deliver them; it is deleted with your account or as soon as it is no longer valid
- Crash reports: Firebase Crashlytics (Google) receives technical information about the error and the device (model, Android version, app version), without the content of your messages or listings
- Photos: the app only accesses the photos you pick or take for your listings
- No advertising and no advertising trackers, and no GPS location: you choose the wilaya and commune of your listings yourself
