Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 9, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how The GPU Trade Inc. (“The GPU Trade,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects information when you use thegputrade.com (the “Site”) and related services such as our newsletter (collectively, the “Service”).

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service.

2) What We Collect

We collect information in three main ways:

A) Information you provide

  • Newsletter signup: email address (and any other fields we add in the future, such as name).
  • Contacting us: if you email us, we receive the contents of your message and contact details.

B) Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, we (and our service providers) may automatically collect:

  • Device and usage data: pages viewed, links clicked, time spent, referral/source, approximate location derived from technical signals, browser type, device type, operating system, and similar information.
  • Log data: server logs may include request timestamps and technical identifiers necessary to deliver the Site.

C) Cookies and similar technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies (like local storage) as described in Section 6 (Cookie Policy).

Current scope note: The Site is currently read-only (no user accounts). If we add accounts or interactive features later, we may collect additional information and will update this policy accordingly.

3) How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • Provide the Service (e.g., deliver pages, send newsletters you requested).
  • Measure and improve Site performance and content (analytics).
  • Maintain security and prevent abuse (e.g., rate limiting, troubleshooting).
  • Communicate with you (respond to inquiries; send opted-in emails).
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.

4) How We Share Information

We may share information in limited circumstances:

  • Service providers / processors that help us operate the Site and newsletter (e.g., hosting, email delivery, analytics). These providers are authorized to use information only as needed to provide services to us.
  • Legal and safety: if required by law, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and security.
  • Business transfers: if we undergo a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

We do not sell your personal information. If we introduce advertising or other data-sharing practices in the future that could be considered “sale” or “sharing” under certain laws, we will update this policy and provide required choices.

5) Data Retention

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including:

  • Newsletter data: until you unsubscribe and for a reasonable period thereafter for compliance/logging.
  • Analytics data: retained according to our Google Analytics settings and business needs (we can set retention periods within Google Analytics controls). (Google Help)
  • Logs/security data: retained for a limited period for security and operational needs.

6) Cookie Policy

This section explains what cookies we use and how you can control them.

A) What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They help websites function, remember preferences, and measure usage.

B) Cookie categories we use

  1. Strictly Necessary Cookies

    These are required for the Site to function (e.g., basic security, load balancing, consent preference storage). They cannot be turned off via our banner because the Site may not work properly without them.

  2. Analytics Cookies (Google Analytics)

    We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., what pages are popular, how users navigate). Google Analytics provides privacy controls and settings, including data retention settings. (Google Help)

    IP addresses: Google states that Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses and drops IP addresses collected from EU users before logging. (Google Help)

C) Consent (opt-in for analytics)

In many jurisdictions (including the EU/UK), analytics cookies require prior consent (i.e., you must opt in) unless they are strictly necessary. (GDPR.eu)

Accordingly, we aim to:

  • Not load analytics cookies until you accept analytics in our cookie banner; and
  • Provide a way to change your choice later (e.g., a “Cookie Preferences” link).

D) How to manage cookies

You can control cookies through:

  • Our cookie banner / preferences (accept/reject analytics).
  • Browser settings (block or delete cookies). If you block cookies, some Site functionality may be impacted.

E) “Do Not Track” / Global Privacy Control

Some browsers offer “Do Not Track” signals and privacy preference signals (like Global Privacy Control). The Site’s response to these signals may vary depending on our implementation and legal requirements; where required, we will honor applicable opt-out signals.

7) Legal Bases (EEA/UK Visitors)

If you are in the EEA/UK, we process personal data under the following legal bases:

  • Consent: for optional analytics cookies and newsletter marketing where required.
  • Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, and improve the Site (e.g., basic logs, fraud prevention), provided those interests are not overridden by your rights.
  • Contract: to provide you the newsletter you request (where applicable).
  • Legal obligation: where compliance is required.

8) International Data Transfers

We operate from the United States and may process and store information in the U.S. and other countries where our service providers operate. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for cross-border transfers.

9) Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure.

10) Your Privacy Rights

Your rights depend on where you live.

A) California (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, you may have rights such as:

  • Right to know/access what personal information we collect and how we use it.

  • Right to limit use/disclosure of sensitive personal information (if applicable).
  • Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights. (California DOJ)

Notice at Collection (California): At or before collection, California requires a “notice at collection” describing categories collected and purposes. (California DOJ)

For the Site today, we generally collect:

  • Identifiers (email address) for newsletter signup.
  • Internet/network activity information (usage data such as pages viewed) for analytics and Site operation. We use this information to operate the Service, send newsletters you request, maintain security, and understand/improve the Site.

  • Access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data,
  • Object to processing,
  • Data portability,
  • Withdraw consent (where processing is based on consent),

11) Children’s Privacy

The Service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.

12) Changes to This Privacy Policy
