Privacy Policy
This policy describes what information Cardboard Terminal ("we", "us") collects when you use cardboardterminal.app (the "Service") and how we use it. We keep this simple because the Service is simple: it is a data tool, not an advertising business.
1. What we collect
- Account information. When you sign in with Google we receive your email address and basic profile name. We do not receive your Google password.
- Usage information. We log page requests (path, timestamp, IP address, browser user agent) and in-app actions such as which auction listings you click. We use this for security, abuse prevention, and to understand which features are useful.
2. What we do NOT do
- We do not sell your personal information.
- We do not run third-party advertising or ad trackers.
- We do not share your personal information except as described below.
3. How we use information
To operate, secure, and improve the Service; to authenticate you; to prevent abuse (for example scraping or account sharing); and to analyze feature usage in aggregate.
4. Sharing
We share information only with service providers needed to run the Service (cloud hosting providers for infrastructure), or if required by law. These providers process data on our behalf under their own security obligations.
Affiliate links. Links from the Service to eBay listings include eBay Partner Network tracking parameters, including a pseudonymous visitor identifier (from the cbt_vid cookie described in Section 5), so that eBay can attribute resulting purchases to Cardboard Terminal. We do not send eBay your name or email address. eBay's use of this data is governed by eBay's own privacy policy.
5. Cookies
We use a session cookie to keep you signed in, and a first-party visitor identifier cookie ("cbt_vid", kept for up to one year) that helps us measure traffic, prevent abuse, and attribute affiliate activity as described in Section 4. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or ad trackers.
6. Retention
Account information is kept while your account exists. Server logs are kept for a limited operational period. You may request deletion of your account and associated personal information at any time (see Section 7).
7. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by emailing support@cardboardterminal.app from your account email. California residents may exercise rights under the CCPA (access, deletion, non-discrimination) the same way. We do not sell personal information, so there is nothing to opt out of selling.
8. Children
The Service is for adults 18 and older. We do not knowingly collect information from children.
9. Changes
We may update this policy; the current version with its effective date will always be at this page. Material changes will be reflected here.
