Information we collect
We may collect information you provide directly, including your name, email address, Discord identity, support messages, application information, and other communications.
If you are approved to use AutoTrader, we may process account identifiers, brokerage-connection status, account and position information, risk settings, order records, execution results, and reconciliation records made available through connected providers. We may also collect device, browser, log, and site-usage information needed to operate and secure the service.
How we use information
We use information to operate, secure, maintain, and improve the site and approved services; communicate with you; review applications and access eligibility; provide support; apply account-specific settings; process and reconcile authorized activity; prevent abuse; maintain records; and comply with legal obligations.
Brokerage connections and service providers
Brokerage connections and account data may be handled through third-party connectivity, authentication, hosting, analytics, communication, and brokerage providers. Their terms and privacy policies also apply to information they process. Do not send brokerage passwords or other credentials through Discord or ordinary support messages.
How information may be disclosed
We may disclose information to vendors that help us provide the service; to a brokerage or connectivity provider when you request a connection or authorized action; when required by law or reasonably necessary to protect users, TOAD, or others; in connection with a business transaction; or with your direction or consent.
Retention and security
We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including security, audit, dispute-resolution, and legal requirements. We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards, but no system or transmission method is completely secure.
Your choices and privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a copy of certain personal information, and to object to or limit certain processing. You may disconnect a brokerage through the available connection flow or ask support for help. We may need to verify your identity and may retain information where legally permitted or required.
Cookies and similar technology
The site and its providers may use cookies or similar technology for essential functions, authentication, preferences, security, and performance. Browser settings may allow you to limit cookies, although parts of the service may then stop working correctly.
Age, changes, and contact
The site and services are intended for adults and are not directed to children under 18. We may update this policy as the service changes. The date above identifies the latest version.
To ask a privacy question or submit a request, open a support ticket in the official TOAD Discord community.
