Privacy Policy — TradeBayt

Last Updated: August 2026

Welcome to TradeBayt ("we", "us", or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our services, or make a purchase from our store.

By accessing or using our website, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

Device & Usage Information

We automatically collect certain information when you visit our website, including:

  • IP address
  • Browser type
  • Device information
  • Time zone
  • Pages visited
  • Referral source
  • Approximate location (derived from IP address)

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to:

  • Process and fulfill orders
  • Provide customer support
  • Send order confirmations and updates
  • Improve our website and services
  • Detect and prevent fraud
  • Comply with legal obligations
  • Send promotional communications (only with your consent, where required)
  • Deliver targeted advertising through our marketing and analytics partners (see Section 4)

3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

TradeBayt uses cookies and similar technologies to:

  • Enable core website functionality (required — cannot be disabled)
  • Remember your preferences (functional)
  • Analyze website performance (analytics)
  • Personalize your shopping experience and show relevant ads (advertising)

You can manage or disable non-essential cookies through your browser preferences or, where available, through the cookie/privacy preference tool on our website. Disabling essential cookies may affect site functionality (e.g., cart or checkout).

We currently do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals, as no common industry standard for interpreting them has been adopted. Where required by law (e.g., California's Global Privacy Control), we will honor recognized opt-out signals for the sale/sharing of personal information described in Section 4.

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your information with trusted third parties only when necessary, including:

  • Shopify (our e-commerce platform provider)
  • Payment processors
  • Shipping carriers and international fulfillment/logistics partners
  • Analytics providers
  • Customer support providers
  • Marketing and advertising service providers

We do not sell your personal information for money. However, under certain U.S. state privacy laws (such as California's CCPA/CPRA), sharing information with advertising or analytics partners for purposes such as targeted/behavioral advertising may be legally defined as a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information — even without an exchange of money. To the extent this applies to our use of marketing and analytics providers, you have the right to opt out. See Section 8 below for how to exercise this right.

5. Payment Security

All payments are processed through secure, PCI-DSS compliant third-party payment providers. TradeBayt does not store your full credit card information on our servers.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Marketing Communications

If you subscribe to our mailing list or provide consent at checkout, we may send promotional emails or SMS messages regarding:

  • New products
  • Special offers
  • Store updates

You may unsubscribe at any time using the unsubscribe link included in our emails, by replying "STOP" to SMS messages, or by contacting us directly. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect transactional messages related to your orders (e.g., shipping confirmations).

7. Data Retention

We retain your information only as long as necessary to:

  • Fulfill orders and provide customer support
  • Comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations
  • Resolve disputes and enforce our agreements

As a general practice, order and transaction records are retained for the period required by applicable tax and commercial recordkeeping laws. Marketing data is retained until you unsubscribe or request deletion. When information is no longer needed for these purposes, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.

8. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights under laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Colorado Privacy Act, Connecticut Data Privacy Act, Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act, and similar state privacy laws, including the right to:

  • Know/Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you
  • Correct — request correction of inaccurate personal information
  • Delete — request deletion of your personal information
  • Opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of your personal information for targeted advertising (see Section 4)
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
  • Non-discrimination — we will not deny goods/services, charge different prices, or provide a different level of service because you exercised any of these rights
  • Appeal — where applicable under your state's law, request an appeal of our decision on your request

How to exercise your rights: Submit a request by emailing support@tradebayt.com with the subject line "Privacy Request," specifying which right you would like to exercise. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request. We will respond within 45 days, as required by applicable law (with the possibility of a one-time 45-day extension for complex requests, of which we will notify you).

Authorized agents: You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf; we may require proof of the agent's authorization and verification of your identity.

Opt-out of sale/sharing: To opt out of the sharing of your information for targeted advertising purposes as described in Section 4, email support@tradebayt.com with "Do Not Sell or Share My Info" in the subject line, or use any Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal enabled in your browser, which we will honor.

9. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external websites, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any information.

10. Children's Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under the age of 13 (or 16, where required by applicable state law). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a child, we will delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe we may have collected such information should contact us at support@tradebayt.com.

11. International Visitors

Our store is operated in the United States and intended primarily for customers located in the United States. If you access our website from outside the United States, please be aware that your information will be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country of residence.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page along with the updated "Last Updated" date. For material changes that affect how we handle previously collected personal information, we will provide additional notice as required by law (e.g., via email or a prominent notice on our website).
