Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to TraderToolMatch ("we," "our," or "us"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, use our Diagnostic Test, or interact with our tools.

2. Data We Collect

We collect data to provide and improve our matching algorithm. This includes:

• Usage Data: Information about how you use our website, including your interactions with the Diagnostic Test, the filters you select, and the tools you click on. We use this to refine our "Match Score" algorithm.
• Technical Data: Internet protocol (IP) address, browser type and version, time zone setting, browser plug-in types, operating system, and platform via Google Analytics 4 (GA4).
• Third-Party Authentication Data (OAuth): If you choose to register or log in using Google or Discord, we receive public profile data from those providers. This typically includes your email address, name/username, unique provider identifier, and profile picture. We use this data strictly to authenticate your account and populate your user profile.
• Cookies: Small data files stored on your device to ensure website functionality and analyze traffic.

3. Affiliate Disclosure (FTC Compliance)

Important: TraderToolMatch participates in various affiliate marketing programs. This means we may earn a commission on purchases made through our links to retailer sites.

Our recommendations are based on data-driven analysis and the results of our diagnostic algorithm. Affiliate partnerships do not influence the "Match Score" or the ranking of tools in our database. We maintain editorial independence to ensure traders find the right software for their needs.

4. How We Use Your Data

We use your data solely for the following purposes:

• To provide the Diagnostic Test results and tool recommendations.
• To improve our website, products/services, marketing, and customer relationships.
• To monitor the usage of our site and detect technical issues.
• We process your personal data based on your explicit Consent (gathered via our cookie consent banner) and our Legitimate Interests in optimizing our platform's diagnostic performance and security.

5. Cookies & Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand website traffic. GA4 may use cookies to collect anonymous data such as your session duration and pages visited. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings, though this may affect the functionality of the Diagnostic Test.

5.1 Server-Side Tracking & Advanced Ad Matching

To accurately measure our marketing performance and optimize our paid ad delivery, we utilize the TikTok Events API and the X (Twitter) Conversion API alongside standard browser pixels.

Unlike traditional browser cookies, our system utilizes server-side tracking to securely transmit event metadata directly to these platforms. When you submit your email address to unlock your Diagnostic Test results, your email is instantly cryptographically pseudonymized via SHA-256 hashing hashing within our secure server-side tracking environment before transmission.

This process allows TikTok and X to safely match your on-site activity with their platform users for ad attribution and customized audience building without exposing your raw, unencrypted personal details. You can manage or revoke these data-sharing options directly within your respective social media account privacy configurations.

6. Third-Party Links

Our website includes links to third-party websites (trading software providers, exchanges, etc.). Clicking on those links may allow third parties to collect or share data about you. We do not control these third-party websites and are not responsible for their privacy statements. When you leave our website, we encourage you to read the privacy policy of every website you visit.

6.1 GDPR User Rights & Data Deletion

As we operate under European Union jurisdictions (Greece), you hold full rights under the GDPR. This includes the right to access, correct, or permanently delete your personal data.

If you wish to revoke our access to your Google or Discord OAuth profile, or if you want your TraderToolMatch account and all associated review data permanently deleted from our databases, please email your request to support@tradertoolmatch.com. We will process all deletion requests within 30 days.
