Why Kijiji Limits High-Risk Private Browsing to Protect Community Safety | Trust & Safety

Buy, Sell, Trust and Safety

At Kijiji, building a safe, reliable marketplace is our highest priority. To protect our users from fraudulent activity and maintain a trustworthy environment, we manage anonymous and private browsing sessions carefully.

While we fully respect personal privacy, securing our platform requires a thoughtful balance between user privacy preferences and overall community safety.

  • Targeted Filtering: We do not automatically block everyone using privacy tools or private browsing. Most standard users can browse freely.

  • Risk-Based Protection: We specifically restrict access from networks, proxies, and devices identified by trusted internet security authorities as posing a high risk for fraud or malicious activity.

  • Location Transparency: Providing access to basic location details helps ensure authentic interactions between buyers and sellers within local communities.

By filtering high-risk traffic, we help preserve a secure, transparent environment where Canadians can trade with confidence.

Hi @Sandra_nelson,

We introduced two-factor authentication to help safeguard your Kijiji account against unauthorized access and to enhance overall security.

Multi-factor authentication is an industry standard across major online platforms and is increasingly required by internet security authorities worldwide to ensure user protection.

Cheers!
