Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy describes how Timed Trades ("Timed Trades," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information about you when you use our website at www.timedtrades.com and any related services (collectively, the "Service"). By using the Service, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

• Name and email address (when you register or contact us)
• Payment information — collected and processed by Stripe on our behalf; we do not store full card numbers
• Messages and feedback you send via our contact form

Information collected automatically:

• Browser type, operating system, and device information
• Pages visited, time spent on pages, and referring URLs
• IP address and general location (city/region level)
• Session data via cookies necessary to keep you logged in and secure the Service

Information from third-party sign-in: If you choose to sign in using Google OAuth, we receive your name and email address from Google. We do not receive your Google password.

2. How We Use Your Information

• To create and manage your account
• To process subscription payments through Stripe
• To send transactional emails (account confirmation, subscription receipts, password resets)
• To send you daily alert emails if you have an active Premium subscription (you may unsubscribe at any time)
• To respond to your support and contact requests
• To analyze usage patterns and improve the Service
• To detect and prevent fraud and abuse

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your information for SMS marketing, automated phone calls, or robodialers.

3. Cookies

We use cookies for session management (keeping you logged in), CSRF protection, and analytics. We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate usage of the Service. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on. You can disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the Service may not work correctly without them.

4. How We Share Your Information

We share your information only in the following limited circumstances:

• Stripe — for payment processing. Stripe's privacy policy governs how they handle your payment data. We do not store your full card details.
• Google — for analytics (Google Analytics) and optional sign-in (Google OAuth). Google's privacy policy governs their use of that data.
• Legal compliance — if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Timed Trades or others.
• Business transfers — in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third-party advertisers or data brokers.

5. Data Security

We implement reasonable security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS), hashed passwords, and access controls to protect your information. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data.

6. Data Retention

We retain your account information for as long as your account is active. If you request deletion of your account, we will delete your personal data within a reasonable time, except where retention is required by law or for legitimate business purposes such as resolving disputes.

7. Third-Party Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those websites. We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any third-party site you visit.

8. International Users

The Service is operated from the United States and is intended for users located in the United States. If you are accessing the Service from outside the U.S., your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We do not specifically target users in the European Economic Area, and as a small operator we do not currently meet the thresholds that would bring us under GDPR or CCPA compliance obligations. If you have questions about applicable law, please contact us.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is intended for users 18 years of age and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a minor, we will delete it promptly.

10. Email Communications

By creating an account you consent to receive transactional emails related to your account and subscription. If you are a Premium subscriber, you will also receive daily alert emails. You may unsubscribe from marketing and alert emails at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email or by contacting us. You cannot opt out of essential transactional emails (e.g., payment receipts, account security notices).

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
