Trust & Security

• Every listing vendor is claimed by an authenticated account before going live.
• Australian vendors are validated against a checksum-verified ABN.
• Vendor identity remains hidden from public listings until a buyer submits a formal enquiry.

• Every reference shows a fair-price band, market median, WatchMerit Score, and 12-month outlook so buyers can benchmark before contacting a vendor.
• Buyers can download a per-watch PDF report summarising price, rarity, demand, and liquidity.
• Listings priced far below the model's median are re-validated daily and removed if the source page disappears or is marked sold.
• All transactions happen directly between buyer and vendor — WatchMerit never takes possession of the watch or the funds.

• Vendor and buyer accounts sign in over encrypted HTTPS.
• Session tokens are stored as httpOnly / secure where the browser supports it.
• Role-based access separates public visitors, authenticated buyers, and vendors.

• All traffic is served over TLS.
• Application data is stored on managed cloud infrastructure with encryption at rest.
• Buyer contact details are shared only with the specific vendor whose listing the buyer chose to enquire about — see our Privacy Policy for full detail.

If you believe you have found a vulnerability or a suspicious listing, please email info@watchmerit.com.au with the details. We aim to acknowledge within two business days.

WatchMerit provides market data, price benchmarking, vendor verification, and lead handling. Buyers are responsible for inspecting the watch and confirming authenticity before payment. Vendors are responsible for the accuracy of their listings and for honouring the terms they present to buyers.
