Privacy Policy
Effective date: [DATE — to be set before publishing]
1. What we collect
Account info: name, email, handle, and plan/billing status. Your hobby data: the cards, collection, inventory, cost basis, wantlist, listings, posts, and notes you add. Usage data: how you interact with the app, device/browser info, and similar technical data. Payment data: handled by our payment processor; we don't store full card numbers. Communications: messages you send us (e.g. support, contact form).
2. What's public vs. private — the important part
By default, your collection, your values, and your cost basis are private and are never shown publicly. The only things on your public page (thechase.com/@yourhandle) are: the cards you choose to list, your wantlist, and light identity info (handle, display name, avatar, collector/dealer badge, optional location/favorite teams, and a Founding Member badge if you have one). You control what you list, and turning on any public display is an explicit, confirmed action.
3. How we use your data
To provide and improve the service: value your cards, generate signals, run the Coach and Plays, power your public page and show table, process payments, provide support, keep the service secure, and communicate with you. [Add any product-analytics or marketing uses and lawful basis — counsel.]
4. Where card data comes from
Card values and signals are built from real market data — sold-sale comps, live game stats, graded population data, and active listings — sourced from third-party data providers. In our product and public materials we describe this by the type of data, not by provider name. These providers process data to power our features; we don't expose your personal collection to them beyond what's needed to look up a card.
5. Service providers we use
Stripe — payments and subscription billing. An embedded video provider — video playback in Watch. Our marketplace affiliate program — buy links on listings. Hosting, analytics, and email providers — to run, measure, and support the service. Each processes data under its own terms; we share only what's needed.
6. Affiliate links
Some buy links are affiliate links and may set third-party cookies when you click them. We rank by signal, never commission, and label sponsored placements. [Disclose cookie behavior and consent where required — counsel.]
9. Data retention
We keep your data while your account is active and as needed to run the service or meet legal obligations. [Specify retention periods and post-deletion handling — counsel.]
10. Your rights & choices
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your data, and to opt out of certain processing. You can edit or delete your data in-app or contact us. [Map to GDPR / CCPA-CPRA specifics, including Do Not Sell/Share and how to exercise rights — counsel.]
11. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, but protecting your collection and account is a core commitment.
12. Children
The Chase isn't directed to children under [13/16 — confirm with counsel]. We don't knowingly collect their data; contact us if you believe a child has given us information.
13. International users
We operate from [COUNTRY]; using The Chase may involve transferring data there. [Add transfer mechanisms (e.g. Standard Contractual Clauses) if serving EU/UK users — counsel.]
14. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy; we'll post the new date and give notice of material changes.
