Last updated: 1 October 2026 · Wares is currently a test application running on the Pi Testnet.
1. What we collect
When you sign in with Pi, we receive your Pi username and a platform user identifier from the Pi Platform. When you buy or sell, we store the records needed to run the marketplace: listings, orders, payment identifiers, an internal ledger of fees and payouts, and a log of moderation and money events. Sellers' uploaded files are stored so they can be delivered to buyers. If you leave a review, we store your rating and review text and show them publicly with your username. To send seller payouts, Wares uses the Pi Platform's payment system to pay your public wallet address directly — we don't store that address ourselves. Some things are kept only on your own device, in your browser's local storage, and never sent to us until you act on them: a session token and your username (to keep you signed in), your cart, your light/dark theme choice, and an unfinished listing you started (its title, price and description, so you don't lose your work if the app closes — the file itself is never stored this way).
2. What we don't collect
We never see or store your Pi wallet keys, passphrase, or balance. Payments are processed by the Pi Platform; we only receive confirmation that a payment was approved and completed. Payouts go through the same Pi Platform mechanism, directly to your account — we don't store your wallet address. We don't collect email addresses, phone numbers, or precise location, and we don't use advertising trackers.
3. How data is used
Data is used only to operate Wares: showing listings and reviews, completing purchases, delivering files, paying out seller earnings, preventing fraud, and debugging. We do not sell or share your data with third parties for marketing.
4. Retention
Because Wares is in a test phase, data may be reset or deleted at any time. Transaction records may be retained as needed for the integrity of the marketplace ledger.
5. Your choices
Sellers can take their own listing offline and then delete it from My listings: a listing nobody bought is removed completely, files included; one that was bought is hidden for good but kept, so its buyers can still download what they paid for. You can also request that a listing or review be taken down by reaching the developer through Pi — we'll delist it so it's no longer visible or purchasable. Records tied to a completed transaction (orders, payments, ledger entries) are kept as part of the marketplace's financial record and aren't deleted on request, the same way a receipt isn't erased after a sale. If you'd like your account itself closed, contact us and we'll discuss what that means given those retention needs. Signing out clears the session token stored in your browser. An unfinished listing is removed when you publish it or tap Start over, and expires on its own after 14 days.
6. Contact
Wares is a one-person test application and does not publish a contact address yet. A contact route will be added before it leaves the test phase. In the meantime, requests can be raised through the Pi Browser to the app's developer account.
