Privacy Statement

Last updated: 11 September 2026

BinderDeck ("we", "us", or "our") operates the BinderDeck mobile and web application (the "Service"). This Privacy Statement explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. By using BinderDeck, you agree to the practices described below.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide when creating an account

• Email address and password (passwords are hashed and stored securely by our platform provider; we never see or store your plain-text password)

• Username, profile avatar, and bio that you choose to display publicly

Information you provide to use trading features

• Your Pokémon card collection data (card names, sets, conditions, grades, quantities, and photos you upload)

• Wishlist items and notes

• Shipping address (used only to complete trades you have agreed to)

• Payment method details (e.g. PayPal link, bank details, or Cash App tag) that you voluntarily enter to receive payments for cash trades

Information generated by your activity

• Trade offers and trade negotiation messages, including any photos and videos you share in trade threads

• Tracking numbers you enter to confirm shipment

• Social posts, comments, likes, and friend requests

• Trade reviews and ratings you give or receive

Information collected automatically

• Standard device and usage data (e.g. device type, operating system, and app interaction events) collected by our platform and analytics providers to keep the Service running and improve it

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

• Create and manage your account and profile

• Display your public collector profile, binder, and trade listings to other users

• Facilitate trade proposals, negotiation, payment, and shipping between collectors

• Show your shipping address and payment details to a verified trade partner only after both sides have accepted a trade

• Power the community feed, friendships, and direct messaging

• Calculate and display trade ratings and fairness scores

• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and violations of our terms

• Maintain, secure, and improve the Service

3. How We Share Your Information

With other users: Your username, avatar, bio, trade rating, public binder, trade listings, social posts, and messages you send are visible to other users as part of the Service. Your shipping address and payment details are shown only to the other party of a trade you have both accepted — never to the wider community.

With service providers: We use third-party platforms for hosting, authentication, payments (Stripe), and email delivery. These providers process data on our behalf and under strict contractual obligations.

For legal reasons: We may disclose information where required by law, regulation, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of our users and the Service.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Retention

We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can request deletion of your account and associated data at any time from within the app; upon deletion, your profile, collection, trades, messages, and social content are removed.

5. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your data, including encrypted transmission, hashed passwords, and restricted access controls. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Sensitive trade details (addresses, payment instructions) are only revealed to accepted trade partners.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location (e.g. under the EU/UK GDPR or California CCPA), you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you

• Request correction of inaccurate data

• Request deletion of your data

• Object to or restrict certain processing

• Withdraw consent where processing relies on consent

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at the email below.

7. Children's Privacy

BinderDeck is not directed to children under 13 (or the equivalent minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under that age. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

8. International Transfers

Your information may be processed and stored on servers located outside your country of residence. Where this occurs, we take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place consistent with applicable data protection laws.

9. Changes to This Statement

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by posting the updated statement within the app or on our website and updating the "Last updated" date above.
