1.3 Contact Form Submissions

When a visitor submits a message through the contact form, the following personal information is collected:

• Visitor’s full name
• Visitor’s email address
• Visitor’s message

TradeBlock uses the information above solely to respond to the visitor’s submitted inquiry.

TradeBlock uses the data collected for the following purposes:

• To keep the Site up and running
• To review the visitors’ behaviour and trends to improve our content
• To track performance of our affiliate links placed on the Site
• To answer the submitted inquiries
• To catch bugs, fix technical issues, or prevent misuse of the Site

We do not sell, rent or share any personal information with third parties for marketing purposes.

We may use several third-party tools and services to improve our site. These third-party services may collect data from users of this site for various purposes. Some of the third-party services we use may include:

• Google Analytics to track website traffic and analyse who, how and why visits the Site
• Advertising networks to display promotional content when and where applicable
• Affiliate networks to track referral for exchanges and commissions
• Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) to improve the site’s performance and security

Visitors to this site should remember that each third-party service above has its own privacy policy and processes data differently. For more detailed information, visitors can refer to Google’s policy available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We do not manage or control any data processing of these third-part tools and services.

TradeBlock uses affiliate links for some links placed at the site. A tracking cookie is created when a visitor clicks such a link. In case the visitor registers or makes a transaction through an affiliate link, TradeBlock may receive a referral commission. We guarantee that TradeBlock does not get any personal information through this process.

• The retention duration of analytics data is set by the provider’s default settings (e.g., 26 months for Google Analytics).
• The personal information shared via contact form submissions is kept until the relevant request is solved.

TradeBlock aims at a global audience across the world. That’s why different jurisdictions around the world, the visitor’s country of residence in this case, may process the data gathered via the Site. Visitors should remember that each jurisdiction has its own data protection regulations, and visitors are responsible for those differences.
