INTRODUCTION
Taqqsit's platform is designed to offer an efficient, secure, and eco-conscious solution for trading, buying, and selling new and used mobile phones, household electronics, appliances, gadgets, and any other permitted items listed on the marketplace (collectively, the "Items"). By integrating advanced technologies and user-centric features, Taqqsit aims to revolutionize the market for second-hand and new items—providing seamless experiences for both Sellers and Buyers.
Originally focused on mobile phones, Taqqsit now serves as an all-in-one platform incorporating:
- device and electronics diagnostics (where applicable).
- AI-powered valuation.
- secure trade-in services.
- category-wide marketplace listings.
- escrow-protected transactions.
- door-to-door trading and delivery solutions (where applicable).
The platform prioritizes financial transparency, quality assurance, and eco-friendly practices, and continues to support sustainability through recycling and circular-economy initiatives.
A standout feature of Taqqsit is its smart analytics engine, which—when relevant—monitors and analyzes EIR (Equipment Identity Register) traffic for mobile devices, and other non-device-specific behavioral patterns for household electronics and other items. This enables tailored offers, upgrade recommendations, resale prompts, and predictive modeling to anticipate when Users may list or purchase new items. Personalized packages and suggestions are then presented to Users accordingly.
Taqqsit's commitment to Your security remains paramount. Advanced fraud detection, identity verification processes, escrow protection, quality-control workflows, and blockchain-enabled device history tracking (for mobile phones) underscore Taqqsit's dedication to maintaining a trusted environment across all item categories.
Flexible payment methods—including mobile wallets, installment options, and other payment solutions— along with mobile phones' supervision by Taqqsit—enhance accessibility and support the platform's broader commercial ecosystem.
For the above purposes, Taqqsit depends on Users sharing certain information. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information You may share with Taqqsit (as Data Controller) and with other Users, and how Taqqsit receives, collects, processes, stores, transfers, and safeguards this personal information.
