Tonport is a marketplace where commodity buyers, sellers, traders and service providers meet. This page says what we keep about you and why.

What we keep
Account: your e-mail address, name, and a password stored only as a salted hash.
Company profile: company name, country, role, commodity groups, photos, services and markets you choose to add.
What you post: listings, tenders, Deal Room posts and comments, offers, messages and the files or photos attached to them.
Verification: the registration documents you upload so we can mark your company as verified.
Your settings: saved items, favorites, price alerts, blocked companies and notifications.
Cookies and analytics
A session cookie keeps you signed in. It is needed for the site to work.
If you arrive through an invite or campaign link, a cookie remembers the invite or source so we can credit it when you register.
A light page counter records the page, language, country, device type and referrer. It stores no IP address and no user id. The visitor value is a salted hash that changes every day, so visits cannot be followed across days.
We show no third-party advertising and do not sell personal data.
Why we use it
To run the marketplace: show your listings and profile as you set them, connect you with other companies and send you notifications.
To check companies: verification documents are seen only by your own company and Tonport administrators.
To keep the site safe: an IP address is held briefly in server memory to limit abuse such as repeated sign-in attempts.
Who sees it
Other members see your company profile and listings according to your visibility settings. In a conversation, the other company's identity is shown once it is revealed or an offer is accepted.
Our service providers process data for us: Vercel for hosting and file storage, and Neon for the database (EU region, Frankfurt).
Your choices
You can edit your profile and posts at any time, and choose whether your company page is public.
You can ask for a copy of your data, a correction, or deletion of your account and personal data. See Delete account.
After you delete your account, a security record (e-mail address, name and company) and your company's verification documents are kept for six months and then deleted.
