- Protect Your Personal Information
Avoid Sharing Sensitive Information: Do not share personal information such as your home address, financial information, or social security number.
Use the Platform’s Messaging System: Communicate with buyers and sellers through Gem-Findr’s messaging system to keep your contact information private.
