What are you clearing?

Add a photo and BuildLoop drafts the listing. You check every detail before it publishes — nothing is guessed on your behalf.

Complete the project

One item is never the job

Buying a radiator doesn't finish a radiator. Pick the job and BuildLoop lists everything it actually consumes — parts, materials, fixings, accessories, consumables and tools — shows what it can supply, and tells you straight whether this is yours to do or a job for a professional.

Nothing here is verified on submission.
Your profile will show every credential as Not verified until BuildLoop checks it against the issuing register. BuildLoop has not built that verification process yet, and will not imply it has.

Privacy — what BuildLoop holds about you
Draft notice for a validation build.
This has not been reviewed by a solicitor. It describes what the software actually does, which is the part BuildLoop can state accurately today.
What is collected
Your email address and password (the password is stored hashed by the authentication service, and BuildLoop never sees it). A display name and postcode district if you give them. Everything you put into a listing — title, description, condition, photographs. Messages and offers you send. Orders you are party to. Anything you type into a problem report.
What it is used for
Running the marketplace: showing your listings to buyers, delivering your messages, recording orders, and resolving problems. Usage events are recorded to learn whether BuildLoop works — those are about what happened, not who you are.
Who can see it
Your listings are visible to anyone using BuildLoop. Your messages are visible only to you and the person you sent them to — enforced by the database, not just by the screen. Your email address is never shown to other users.
What is not collected
No payment details — BuildLoop takes no money and has no payment provider. No identity documents. No location beyond the postcode district you type. No third-party analytics or advertising trackers of any kind.
Your rights
Download my data and Delete my account are on this screen when you are signed in. They work — they are not a form that emails somebody. Deletion withdraws your live listings immediately and erases your personal details after the retention period.
What deletion keeps, and why
A completed transaction is kept in anonymised form. The other party to a sale has a legitimate interest in an accurate record of something they were part of, so your identity is severed from it rather than their record being destroyed.
Who holds it — the data controller
Where it is held
Shown by the running deployment — see Developer and validation tools below.

What is actually runninglocal only

Checked at runtime, not claimed in a document.

Validation instrumentation

Every event is tagged at source. Demo is the sample catalogue. Test is anything you or a tester do here. Real stays at zero until BuildLoop is put in front of real sellers and buyers.

What this build is

A working validation MVP: browse, search, save, message, offer, reserve, collect with a handover code, complete and review. AI-assisted listing drafts a title, description, attributes and price guidance from a photo, and marks anything it cannot determine as Unknown for you to confirm.

Not yet live: real payments, identity checks, carrier integration, freight booking. Checkout runs in test transaction state — no money moves.
