Privacy

Your street address is nobody's business.

Chicken Wire only works if sharing food doesn't mean giving up your privacy. Here's plainly what we keep and who can see it.

What we collect

Your name, email, phone number, an approximate home location, and anything you choose to put in your profile or listings — photos, descriptions, pickup areas, and messages.

What other neighbors can see

Your display name, avatar, bio, neighborhood, verification badges, rating, completed trade count, and your active listings. Your phone number, email, and exact location are never shown.

How location works

We store an approximate point for your neighborhood and offset listing pins so they show a general area, not a doorstep. Precise meetup details are only shared in chat, by you, once you've agreed to a trade.

Your phone number

We use it once to verify you're a real person, and afterwards only for account security. It is never displayed to other users and never sold.

Messages

Conversations are private between participants. We only look at message content when someone files a report, to investigate it.

Your choices

You can update your neighborhood, edit or delete your listings, block another neighbor, or ask us to delete your account and data at any time.
