We process personal data for the purposes below. The legal bases under the GDPR are indicated in summary form.

Purposes

Providing and operating the platform, accounts and features you use (contract / pre-contractual steps)
Social networking, content distribution, marketplace and messaging (contract / legitimate interests)
Processing payments via Stripe or PayPal and marketplace payouts via Stripe Connect (contract / legal obligation)
Security, fraud prevention, abuse detection and enforcement of our terms (legitimate interests / legal obligation)
Moderation, handling reports and protecting users (legitimate interests / legal obligation)
First-party campaign delivery and measurement on TRADEFOOX (consent or legitimate interests, depending on context and law)
Google AdMob advertising in mobile apps where enabled (consent under TCF 2.3 where required; no Google ads if required consent is rejected)
Website analytics and measurement (Google Analytics / gtag) where permitted and, where required, based on consent
Customer communication, support and HubSpot-related website interactions when you allow communication cookies
Compliance with legal obligations (tax, accounting, regulatory requests)
Improving and developing our services (legitimate interests)
Sending service-related notices about your account or material policy changes (contract / legal obligation)

Legal bases (summary)

Your consent, where we ask for it separately (for example advertising consent via Google’s consent-management solution and the User Messaging Platform SDK)
Performance of a contract or steps at your request before entering a contract
Compliance with legal obligations
Our legitimate interests, where they are not overridden by your rights (for example security and fraud prevention)

7. Recipients and service providers

We share personal data only where necessary. Categories of recipients include:

Hosting and infrastructure providers operating our APIs and websites
Stripe and PayPal for payment processing
Stripe Connect for connected seller accounts and marketplace payouts
Google (AdMob, Mobile Ads SDK, OAuth sign-in, Maps on the website, and analytics tags where used)
Apple (Sign in with Apple)
Sentry for error, crash and performance diagnostics (web and mobile apps)
HubSpot for website communication tools when you allow optional cookies
Gamezop for integrated games and promotional content in the mobile app
Other users or the public, when you publish content or use public profile features
Professional advisers and service providers supporting our operations
Authorities, courts or regulators when required by law
Other parties with your direction or consent

Payment data

For transactions we may share with payment providers:

Name, email address and billing address
Transaction amount, currency, date and identifiers
IP address and device information for fraud prevention
Data required by Stripe Connect for seller verification and payouts

Marketplace sellers connect Stripe accounts through Stripe Connect. Stripe processes onboarding and payout data under its own privacy policy. TRADEFOOX does not store full payment card numbers.

Further information: PayPal, Stripe

8. Advertising and consent

TRADEFOOX uses first-party advertising (campaigns you book with us) and Google AdMob in the Android and iOS apps. Optional advertising and measurement require appropriate consent where the law requires it.

TRADEFOOX campaigns

Sponsored campaigns in the feed, marketplace or other surfaces are operated by TRADEFOOX. We may measure impressions and clicks to bill advertisers and improve relevance. This is separate from Google AdMob.

Google AdMob and mobile advertising

We use Google AdMob, the Google Mobile Ads SDK and the Google User Messaging Platform (UMP) SDK in our mobile apps. Google’s certified consent-management solution configures the consent message; UMP is the SDK used to display and manage that message—it is not the certified CMP itself.

Ad formats may include native and banner advertisements
Ads may be personalized, non-personalized or limited depending on your consent choices under TCF 2.3
If you reject consent where it is required, we do not show Google ads in the app
Google may process IP address, approximate location, device and app information, Android Advertising ID, ad impressions and interactions, and diagnostic or performance data
We do not request Apple App Tracking Transparency (ATT) or use the iOS Identifier for Advertisers (IDFA) in the initial release
Purposes include ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and security
Google acts as an independent recipient; data may be transferred internationally subject to appropriate safeguards
We do not load production ads until consent status permits it
Consent for personalized advertising under TCF 2.3 is purpose-specific; consent to one purpose does not cover all personalized advertising purposes
Diagnostic events related to advertising may be processed by TRADEFOOX or Sentry for troubleshooting; we do not sell your personal data

How consent works

Where required, we request consent through UMP before requesting production Google ads
On the website, you can manage cookie preferences through our cookie banner and policy
In the mobile apps, you can change or withdraw advertising consent choices in the in-app privacy settings
Withdrawing consent does not affect processing that was lawful before withdrawal
Rejecting required consent means no Google ads, not merely limited ads
Continued use of the app alone is not treated as advertising consent
Production Google advertising is loaded only when consent status permits it

You can change or withdraw advertising consent at any time using the controls described above.

Google information

9. International data transfers

We process data primarily in the European Union and European Economic Area. Where service providers (for example Google, Stripe, PayPal, Sentry or HubSpot) process data outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses or other mechanisms recognized under applicable law, unless an adequacy decision applies.

10. Retention and deletion

We retain personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy, unless a longer period is required by law:

Account and profile data for as long as your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward to handle disputes or legal claims
Content you publish may remain visible until you delete it or close your account, subject to backups and legal retention
Payment and transaction records for as long as required under tax and accounting rules
Logs, security and diagnostic data for limited periods appropriate to the purpose (Sentry retention settings apply)
After account deletion, we delete or anonymize personal data within a reasonable period unless retention is legally required

11. Data-subject rights

Depending on applicable law (including the GDPR), you may have the right to:

Access the personal data we process about you
Rectify inaccurate or incomplete data
Erase data where legal requirements are met
Restrict processing in certain cases
Object to processing based on legitimate interests
Data portability for data you provided in a structured format
Withdraw consent at any time where processing is based on consent
Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

You can update much of your profile data in account settings. For other requests, contact datenschutz@tradefoox.com.

12. Children and minimum age

TRADEFOOX is not directed at children under 16. You must be at least 16 years old to register and use our services, or older if your local law requires a higher age without parental consent. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16. If you believe a child under 16 has provided data to us, contact datenschutz@tradefoox.com.

13. Cookies, SDKs and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies on the website and software development kits (SDKs) in our apps. Details are in our cookie policy, including website cookies (session, preferences, analytics where consented), Sentry, Google Mobile Ads and UMP, and mobile SDKs such as Gamezop.

14. Automated decisions, recommendations and profiling

We use algorithms to rank feeds, suggest content, match marketplace listings and display relevant campaigns. These processes support our services and are not solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects unless we inform you otherwise. You can report content and contact us if you have concerns. Human review is involved in moderation and many enforcement actions.

15. Data security

We implement technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data, including:

Encryption in transit (TLS/SSL) for data transmission
Access controls and monitoring for our systems
Regular review and improvement of our security practices

16. Supervisory authority and contact

You may lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority. For users in Saxony, Germany, the competent authority is typically the Sächsische Datenschutz- und Transparenzbeauftragte. You may also contact any authority in your country of residence or work.
