Privacy policy
In short
- The Trad app has no account, no advertising, no analytics and no tracking.
- Everything you do in the app stays on your device. We never receive it.
- Apple handles every in-app purchase. We never see your card.
- If you buy from the shop, we receive only what we need to make and ship your order.
- We never sell or share your information for advertising, and we send no newsletters.
1. The Trad app
What stays on your device
Your settings, your progress and any answers you give in the app are stored only on your device. They are never sent to us or to anyone else.
What we collect
Nothing. Trad has no account or sign-in, no analytics or crash-reporting service, no advertising and no tracking of any kind. Trad does not ask for your location, contacts, photos, camera or microphone.
Purchases
In-app purchases, including any subscription, are processed by Apple. We receive no payment or card details, and no name or email address. On your device, Trad asks Apple whether you have an active purchase; that check is handled by Apple under Apple's privacy policy.
Services that deliver the app's content
To download the app's content and updates, your device connects to these services. Like any website, each one sees your device's IP address while it connects. We do not send them anything about you.
| Service | What it does for Trad | Its policy |
|---|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Stores and delivers the app's content. | cloudflare.com |
| Expo | Delivers app updates. To count how many devices use an update, the app sends Expo a random identifier created when the app is installed. It is not linked to your name, Apple Account or anything else about you, and it is not used for tracking or advertising. | expo.dev |
| Wikimedia Commons | Serves some public-domain images. | wikimedia.org |
Links that leave the app
Some links in the app open other apps or websites, such as Apple Maps, Google Maps or another organisation's website. Those apps and sites are run by others and follow their own privacy policies. Trad does not see what you search for or read there.
Deleting your data
Because everything Trad stores is on your device, deleting the app deletes all of it. We hold no copy, so there is nothing for us to delete or to keep.
2. This website
This website is hosted by Cloudflare, which processes visitors' IP addresses and basic request information to deliver the pages and protect them from abuse. The website uses no analytics, no advertising and no tracking cookies.
If you add items to your bag in the shop, the bag is saved in your own browser (local storage) so it is still there when you come back. It is not sent to us unless you go to checkout.
3. The Trad shop
When you check out, you are taken to a secure payment page run by Stripe, which collects your name, email address, shipping address and payment details.
- What we receive: your name, email address, shipping address, phone number if you give one, and what you ordered. We never receive your full card number.
- Why: only to make, ship and support your order, to answer you if you write to us, and to keep the records the law requires.
- Who else sees it: Stripe, to take the payment (Stripe's privacy policy), and our print partner Printful, which receives your name, shipping address and order to make and ship it (Printful's privacy policy), other suppliers that ship some items straight to you, which receive the same details for the same reason, and the shipping carriers they use.
- Emails: only about your order, such as the receipt and shipping updates. We do not run a newsletter or send marketing email.
- How long: order records are kept for as long as tax and accounting law requires, then deleted.
4. The companies we work with
We use only the services named on this page, each for the purpose stated, and each bound by its own published privacy policy to protect the information it handles at least as well as this policy does. None of them may use your information to advertise to you on our behalf.
5. Children
Trad is suitable for all ages. The app collects no personal information from anyone, including children. The shop is intended for adults; we do not knowingly take orders from children under 13.
6. Your rights
Wherever you live, you can ask us what shop information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, except where the law requires us to keep an order record. Write to [email protected]. We will answer within 30 days. If you are in the United Kingdom, the European Economic Area or California, you also have the rights your local law gives you, including the right to complain to your data-protection authority.
We do not sell personal information, and we do not "share" it for cross-context behavioural advertising as California law defines it.
7. Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will appear on this page with a new effective date. If a change would let Trad collect something it does not collect today, we will say so in the app before it takes effect.
