By creating an account or using circub you confirm that you have read and agree to this document and our Terms of Service.
This Privacy Policy explains how Tenetbid (“Circub,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use the Circub platform (the “Service”), where locals share real prices for products, services, restaurants, transport, and other local knowledge, and travelers browse that information or message locals directly.
Profile information: profile photo, home city/country (for locals), traveler destinations, bio, verification documents (e.g. proof of local residency, ID for verification badges)
Content you post: price submissions, listings, photos, reviews, ratings, and comments
Messages you send to other users through the platform
Payment information, if you make or receive payments through the Service (e.g. tips, paid consultations)
Communications with our support team
Information collected automatically
Location data (city/region-level or precise GPS, depending on your device permissions) - used to show relevant local prices and connect you with nearby locals or travelers
Device information, IP address, browser type, operating system
Profile information from social logins (e.g. Google, Apple, Facebook) if you choose to sign up that way
Information from identity verification providers, if we use one to verify local users
2. How Do We Use Your Information?
We use your information to:
Create and manage your account, and verify local users where applicable
Match travelers with relevant local price information and local users
Enable messaging between travelers and locals
Process payments, where applicable
Send service communications, respond to support requests, and notify you of relevant activity (e.g. a reply to your message)
Send marketing communications, where permitted, which you can opt out of at any time
Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and fake or manipulated price listings
Improve and develop the Service, including through analytics
Build aggregated travel-price insights: we may use price data submitted by users, in aggregated and/or anonymized form, to generate travel-cost indexes, trend reports, or similar data products. This aggregated data does not identify you individually.
3. Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users)
Where applicable, we rely on:
Consent - e.g. for marketing emails or precise location access
Performance of a contract - to provide the core features of the Service you've signed up for
Legitimate interests - e.g. fraud prevention, service improvement, and building aggregated data products, balanced against your rights
Legal obligations - e.g. responding to lawful requests from authorities
Vital interests - in rare cases where necessary to protect someone's safety
4. When and With Whom Do We Share Information?
Other users: your username, profile info, posted content, and messages are visible to the users you interact with. Price listings and public content may be visible to all users of the platform.
Service providers: hosting, analytics, customer support, payment processing, and identity verification partners who help us operate the Service.
Business transfers: if Circub is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale.
Affiliates: with companies under common control with Circub.
Legal & safety: where required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of Circub, our users, or the public.
Aggregated/anonymized data: we may share or license aggregated, de-identified price and travel-trend data (e.g. with research partners or business customers) that does not identify you.
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers.
5. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies for:
Security and login sessions
Remembering your preferences (e.g. currency, language)
Analytics on how the Service is used
Advertising, where applicable
You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling some cookies may limit functionality.
6. AI-Based Features
Circub may offer AI-powered features, such as:
Automated summarization of local price trends
Smart suggestions when submitting a price or writing a message
Content moderation to detect spam or fraudulent listings
You can manage AI-feature preferences in your account settings where available.
7. Social Logins
If you sign up or log in via a social account (e.g. Google, Apple), we may receive your name, email, and profile picture from that provider, depending on the permissions you grant.
8. International Transfers
Because Circub connects travelers and locals across countries, your information may be processed in countries other than your own. Where required, we use safeguards such as:
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs)
Binding Corporate Rules (BCRs)
9. How Long Do We Keep Information?
We retain personal information only as long as necessary for the purposes in this policy. In most cases, we do not retain personal data longer than 6 months after account deletion, unless a longer period is required by law (e.g. for tax, fraud, or dispute records). Aggregated/anonymized data may be retained indefinitely.

Access the personal data we hold about you

Request deletion of your data
Restrict or object to certain processing
