> Except this isn’t really true. Streetlend made its money by selling your privacy data to advertisers through Amazon. So when you put up a power drill for lend, people would see power drills for sale at local shops, based on their online presence harvested through stuff like their Facebook account.

Founder here. Streetlend never passed personal data to Amazon. It used the search term eg “ladder” and showed ladders on sale from Amazon. No personal data was passed.
