Privacy policy
Last updated 3 November 2026
LendLoop is a fictional product built as a take-home assignment. This page is sample text showing what the live service would publish; it is not a legal agreement with a real company.
What we collect
- Account details: your name and email address, handled by our sign-in provider, Clerk, when you create an account.
- What you post: tool listings (name, category, condition, description) and borrow requests (tool, dates, status).
- Notification history: whether we sent you an email about a request or an overdue loan, and when.
We don't collect payment details, location, or contacts.
Why we use it
- To run the service: showing listings, routing requests to lenders, and tracking loans.
- To send the emails the service depends on: new requests, decisions, returns and overdue reminders.
- To keep it safe: rate limits, abuse checks, and admin moderation.
Who sees what
- Visitors who aren't signed in see tool names and categories only.
- Signed-in neighbours see a lender's first name, never their email.
- The lender and borrower on a request see each other's first names.
- Administrators can see account names and emails to moderate the board.
Notification emails contain only what that email needs: your address and first name, the other person's first name, the tool name, and the dates.
Service providers
Clerk (sign-in), Convex (database and backend), our workflow automation service (n8n), and our email provider process data on our behalf, under their own security commitments. We don't sell personal data or use it for advertising.
How long we keep it
- Account and listing data: until you delete your account.
- Loan history: kept while your account exists, then anonymised.
- Notification and error logs: up to 90 days.
Your choices
You can edit or delete your listings at any time, and delete your account from your profile menu. To ask for a copy of your data or its deletion, contact privacy@lendloop.example.
