How We Comply
TradeBegin does not sell or share personal information for targeted advertising. We use analytics tools solely for site performance and user experience improvement. We do not maintain a database of personally identifiable information. Any data collected is anonymized and aggregated, and we do not link it to specific individuals beyond what is necessary for basic site functionality.
Data We Process
The personal information we may collect includes:
- IP address
- Browser and device information
- Pages visited and time spent on site

This data is collected automatically and is not linked to your name, email, or other direct identifiers.
Legal Basis for Processing
Our processing of personal information is based on legitimate interest in improving our website’s functionality, user experience, and content relevance. We do not rely on consent for this processing under CCPA/CPRA, as we do not sell or share data.
