    Quick Verdict

    Best for: Buyers and sellers comfortable with ad targeting

    Not For: You prefer not to share activity with Facebook and Google

    What It Means For You

    Browsing, searches, and listing activity are shared with Facebook, Google, and Sentry. The Google Ads SDK uses in-app behavior to target users with ads. Account and usage data flow to multiple third-party platforms with limited controls to opt out.

    Method and Limitations

    Static analysis only. CITT reviewed the code of this build without running the app, so runtime behavior was not observed. The findings below describe the analyzed build and may not reflect server-side controls or later versions. CITT makes no determination about compliance with any law or platform policy; it reports what the artifacts contain and cites the published guidance so a reader can compare.
