Privacy Policy

Effective Date: May 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how True Value Protocol LLC ("we," "us," "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you use the True Value Protocol service ("Service") at tvpcards.io and related applications.

1. Information We Collect

Information you provide directly:

  • Account information: email address, account credentials.
  • Uploaded content: photos of cards, screenshots of comparable sales, dealer asks, written context, and any other content you submit for analysis.
  • Communications: messages you send to us via email or contact forms.

Information collected automatically:

  • Usage data: pages visited, features used, time spent, click patterns.
  • Device information: browser type, operating system, device identifiers, IP address.
  • Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 5).

Information from third parties:

  • We currently do not purchase or receive personal information from third-party data brokers.
  • If you sign in via a third-party authentication provider in the future, we receive the information that provider shares with us per their terms.

2. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and improve the Service.
  • Process your uploads and produce analytical outputs.
  • Manage your account, send service-related communications, and respond to your inquiries.
  • Monitor and analyze usage patterns to improve the methodology and product.
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, or unlawful activity.
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms.

We do NOT sell your personal information to third parties.

We may use aggregated and de-identified data — including patterns derived from uploaded card photos and comp data — to improve the analytical methodology, train internal models, or share insights publicly. Aggregated and de-identified data does not personally identify you.

3. How We Share Information

We share information only in these circumstances:

  • Service providers: We use third-party providers (hosting, database, email, analytics, AI infrastructure) to operate the Service. These providers process information on our behalf under contractual obligations to protect it.
  • Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, court order, or to protect our legal rights, the safety of users, or the integrity of the Service.
  • Business transfers: If True Value Protocol LLC is involved in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You will be notified before your information is transferred and becomes subject to a different privacy policy.
  • With your consent: Where you explicitly consent to sharing.

4. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. After account closure, we may retain certain information for legitimate business purposes (legal compliance, fraud prevention, analytical methodology improvement using de-identified data) for a reasonable period.

You can request deletion of your account and associated personal information at any time by emailing hello@tvpcards.com.

5. Cookies and Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service, remember your preferences, and analyze usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect Service functionality.

6. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. No system is perfectly secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of information transmitted to or stored on our systems.

If we become aware of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including:

  • Access: the right to know what information we have about you.

9. International Users

The Service is operated from the United States. If you access the Service from outside the United States, your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer.
