When you create an account, we collect your email address, name (if provided), and password. We use your email to send account notifications and verify your identity.

How We Use Your Information
Provide and Improve Services
We use your information to deliver our core features, including collection management, marketplace browsing, and transaction processing. Usage data helps us identify areas for improvement.
Facilitate Transactions
Location data enables local trading. Collection and transaction information helps match buyers with sellers and process payments securely.
Send Notifications
We send email notifications about account activity, transaction updates, wishlist matches, and important platform announcements. You can opt out of non-essential notifications.

We analyze aggregated usage data to understand trends, improve features, and enhance user experience. Individual data is anonymized in these analyses.
Information Sharing
With Other Users
Limited information is shared with other users to facilitate trading. This includes your username, general location, and public collection data. Private collections are never shared.
With Service Providers
We use third-party services to operate our platform. Stripe processes payments, Supabase hosts our database, and Scryfall provides card data. These providers have strict data protection agreements.
Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, property, or safety. We'll notify you when legally permitted.
Business Transfers
In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred. We'll notify you of any such changes.
Data Security
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
- All data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3
- Passwords are hashed using bcrypt and never stored in plain text
- Database access is restricted and monitored
- Regular security audits and penetration testing
- Payment information is processed directly by Stripe; we never store card details
Despite these measures, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
