WickedTrades Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 26, 2026

WickedTrades respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, why we collect it, how we use it, when it may be shared, and the choices available to you.

This policy applies to the WickedTrades website, marketplace, account features, messaging, subscriptions, saved searches, notifications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create or maintain an account, we may collect information such as:

Passwords are not intended to be stored in readable form. WickedTrades uses password hashing and authentication controls to protect account credentials.

Marketplace Information

When you create or interact with marketplace listings, we may collect:

Location Information

WickedTrades provides optional location-based features such as nearby listings, distance calculations, radius searches, and location-based saved searches.

If you choose to use these features, your browser may provide latitude and longitude coordinates after you grant location permission.

Seller coordinates may be stored internally to calculate distances between buyers and listings. WickedTrades is designed so buyers generally see a city, region, or approximate distance rather than a seller's exact coordinates.

Buyer location preferences may also be stored locally on the user's device so that radius searches can be restored on later visits.

Messages and Communications

When users communicate through WickedTrades, we may store messages and related information needed to operate the messaging service, protect users, investigate reports, and maintain marketplace security.

Saved Searches and Notifications

If you save a marketplace search, we may store the search criteria you select, including:

This information may be used to identify new listings that match your saved criteria and provide notifications.

Reviews and Reputation

WickedTrades may collect and display information related to reviews, ratings, completed transactions, seller verification, and response information.

Payment and Subscription Information

Seller subscription payments may be processed through third-party payment processors such as Stripe.

WickedTrades may receive and store limited billing-related information such as:

WickedTrades does not intentionally store complete payment-card numbers when those details are handled directly by the payment processor.

Email Information

WickedTrades may use your email address for purposes such as:

Technical Information

When you use WickedTrades, the Service or its infrastructure providers may process technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, request information, security logs, cookies, and similar information necessary to operate and protect the Service.

2. Why We Use Personal Information

WickedTrades may use personal information to:

We seek to collect and use personal information only for identified and reasonable purposes and to limit collection to information reasonably necessary for those purposes.

3. Consent

Where consent is required, WickedTrades seeks consent appropriate to the nature of the information and the purpose for which it is being collected, used, or disclosed.

Certain features require explicit user action. For example, browser location is requested only when the user chooses to use a location-based feature and the browser grants permission.

You may decline optional features such as geolocation, although doing so may limit features that depend on that information.

4. How Information May Be Shared

WickedTrades does not sell your personal information.

Personal information may be disclosed where reasonably necessary to service providers that help operate WickedTrades, including providers of:

Information may also be disclosed when required or permitted by applicable law, in response to valid legal process, or where reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, security threats, or serious policy violations.

5. Public Marketplace Information

Certain information you intentionally provide to the marketplace may be visible to other users or the public, including:

Do not include information in public listing descriptions or photographs that you do not want other users to see.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

WickedTrades may use cookies and browser storage for purposes such as:

You may be able to manage certain cookie preferences through the controls provided by WickedTrades or through your browser.

7. Retention

WickedTrades retains personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected, to maintain security and transaction records, to resolve disputes, or to satisfy legal obligations.

Information that is no longer required should be deleted, anonymized, or otherwise disposed of appropriately.

8. Security Safeguards

WickedTrades uses reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect personal information against loss, theft, unauthorized access, disclosure, copying, use, or modification.

These measures may include authentication controls, password hashing, access controls, secure connections, rate limiting, and other safeguards appropriate to the Service.

No internet service can guarantee absolute security.

9. Access and Correction

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to personal information WickedTrades holds about you and request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

Some account information may also be updated directly through your WickedTrades settings.

10. Account Deletion

Users may request deletion of their WickedTrades account.

Some information may need to be retained after account deletion where reasonably necessary for fraud prevention, transaction records, dispute resolution, security, legal obligations, or other lawful purposes.

11. Privacy and Security Incidents

WickedTrades will take reasonable steps to investigate and respond to privacy and security incidents.

Where required by applicable law, WickedTrades will provide appropriate notifications or reports concerning eligible privacy breaches.

12. Third-Party Services

WickedTrades relies on third-party service providers to operate parts of the Service.

Those providers may process information according to their own privacy policies, terms, and contractual obligations.

Depending on the provider, personal information may be processed or stored outside New Brunswick or outside Canada and may therefore be subject to the laws of other jurisdictions.

13. Children's Privacy

WickedTrades is not intended to knowingly collect personal information from children who are not legally able to use the Service or consent to the relevant collection and use of their information.

WickedTrades may establish specific minimum-age requirements for accounts or marketplace activity.

14. Changes to This Policy

WickedTrades may update this Privacy Policy from time to time.

The effective date at the top of this page identifies the current version.

Where required, WickedTrades will provide appropriate notice or obtain consent for material changes.
