At The Card Centre (accessible via thecardcentre.com and the-card-centre-vault.web.app), we prioritize the privacy, security, and trust of our trading card collectors and visitors. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information collected and recorded by The Card Centre and how we utilize it in accordance with UK GDPR and international privacy standards.

1. Information We Collect

We believe in transparent, minimal data collection:

• Voluntary Collector Information: When you submit offers, contact our vault team, or join our community, you may provide your name, email address, or Discord handle.
• Log Files & Technical Telemetry: Like most standard web servers, we gather non-personally identifiable log information including Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamps, referring/exit pages, and visitor click behavior to optimize website speed and server responsiveness.
• Client-Side LocalStorage: Preferences such as your selected Currency (£ GBP, $ USD, € EUR) and saved Watchlist cards are stored directly in your browser's private local storage. We do not transmit or sell your watchlist.
