# Privacy, Anonymity & Gradual Disclosure on Mumtalakat

> Mumtalakat's privacy model: the visibility layers, the difference between hiding identity and hiding price, and how protection is enforced server-side, not just visually.

Mumtalakat reveals a listing gradually. This page ties the pieces together into one model so both sellers and buyers understand who sees what, and when.

## Visibility layers

| Layer          | Who they are               | What they see                                   |
| -------------- | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Public**     | Any visitor                | The listing with sensitive data restricted      |
| **Registered** | Signed-in, verified buyers | More detail, still gated by the owner's choices |
| **Post-NDA**   | Buyers who signed the NDA  | The full details the owner gated behind the NDA |

## Hiding identity and hiding price are separate

<Info>
  **Anonymous listing** hides the owner's **identity only** — name, description, logo, and the link between two listings from the same owner. It does **not** hide the price or figures. The price and sensitive data are controlled independently in the **Sensitive data** group. See [Customize & privacy](/en/sellers/customize-and-privacy).
</Info>

## Manual control of sensitive data

The owner decides, field by field, what stays hidden until the NDA is signed: asking price, revenue, employee count, exact location, and reason for selling. Nothing is hidden or shown by accident — it follows the owner's settings.

## Preview as a buyer

The **“Preview as a buyer”** button shows the owner their listing exactly as an un-signed buyer sees it — the surest way to confirm the gating works before publishing.

## Enforced server-side, not just hidden

<Warning>
  Gated data is protected on the **server**, not merely hidden in the interface. A buyer who hasn't signed cannot retrieve the price, documents, or media through any path — the protection is real, not cosmetic.
</Warning>
