Privacy policy

Last updated 19 October 2026. Applies to the FlipDesk app and the FlipDesk Chrome extension.

FlipDesk helps people find underpriced cars, talk to sellers and sell cars on. This page explains exactly what we collect, why, and what you can ask us to do with it. The short version: we only use your data to run FlipDesk for you, we never sell it, and you press every Send and Post yourself.

Who we are

FlipDesk is run by Kayah Mitchell in London, United Kingdom, who is the data controller for your information. Contact: sskmusic7@gmail.com.

What we collect and why

What	Why	Where it comes from
Your name, email and password (stored only as a one-way hash)	To give you your own login	You, or the FlipDesk owner who creates your account
Car listings: title, price, photos, mileage, location, the seller's name as shown on the listing	To find and value undervalued cars	Public Facebook Marketplace listings
The text of Marketplace chats you open with the extension installed	So the assistant can draft your next reply	The chat page you have open in your own browser
Messages the assistant drafts and the ones you approve	To show you drafts and keep a record of each deal	FlipDesk
Cars you buy: price paid, costs, facts you add, photos you upload, adverts	To price, advertise and track profit on your cars	You
Waitlist email, name and note	To tell you when FlipDesk opens in your area	The form on our website

We do not collect your Facebook or Gumtree password, payment card details, your friends list, or anything from pages you visit other than Facebook Marketplace and Messages pages and Gumtree's Post an ad pages.

The Chrome extension

The extension has one purpose: to help you buy and sell cars with FlipDesk. It only runs on Facebook Marketplace and Messages pages and on Gumtree's Post an ad pages. On those pages it:

types a message you already approved in FlipDesk into the chat box. You press Send.
sends the text of a Marketplace chat you have open to your FlipDesk account, so the assistant can draft a reply for you to approve.
fills Gumtree's Post an ad form from your FlipDesk advert. You press Post.

It never sends, posts or browses on its own, and it does not read pages in the background. It stores two things in your browser: your FlipDesk address and a pairing token, which you can remove any time with "Disconnect this browser".

Limited Use. The use of information received from the FlipDesk Chrome extension complies with the Chrome Web Store User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements. We use it only to provide FlipDesk's features to you. We do not sell it, use it for advertising, use it to work out creditworthiness, or let people read it except where you ask us to help, for security, or where the law requires it.

Who else handles it

Anthropic (Claude) processes listing text and chat text to value cars and draft messages.
Cloudflare carries traffic to FlipDesk and stores the website waitlist.
Your data is stored on the FlipDesk computer in the United Kingdom.

We do not sell or rent personal data to anyone.

How long we keep it

While your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your data within 30 days, except records we must keep by law, such as sales records for tax.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law you can ask for a copy of your data, ask us to correct or delete it, or object to how we use it. Email sskmusic7@gmail.com. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office.

Our legal basis

We use your data to provide the service you signed up for (contract), and the public listing data to run that service (legitimate interests). The waitlist is by your consent, which you can withdraw any time.

Changes

If we change this policy we'll update the date at the top, and tell you in the app if the change matters.
