A cookie is a small text file stored on your device when you visit a website. Cookies help websites recognize your browser, maintain your session, and provide certain features. By continuing to use the Platform, you consent to the use of cookies as described in this Privacy Policy, except where applicable law requires separate consent.

The length of time we retain information depends on the type of information, the purpose for which it was collected, and applicable legal requirements. When personal information is no longer required, we will securely delete, anonymize, or otherwise dispose of it in accordance with our internal retention practices, unless we are required or permitted by law to retain it for a longer period. Please note that backup copies may remain in secure backup systems for a limited period following deletion before being automatically overwritten.

Account Deletion You may request the deletion of your account at any time through your account settings or by contacting us. Following account deletion:

• Your public profile will generally no longer be visible.
• User Content may be removed from public view, subject to technical limitations.
• Certain information may be retained where required for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, dispute resolution, or enforcement of our legal rights.
• Messages previously sent to other users may remain visible within those conversations where technically necessary or reasonably expected, although your account may no longer appear as active.

Deleting your account does not necessarily result in the immediate or complete removal of every copy of information from backup systems or records maintained for legitimate legal or operational purposes.

Security We take reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, loss, misuse, or destruction. These measures may include:

• Encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS).

• Firewall protection.
• Logging and audit systems.
• Fraud detection tools.
• Regular software updates.
• Internal access restrictions.

Despite these safeguards, no website, online service, or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Accordingly, while we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Users are responsible for protecting their own accounts by choosing strong passwords, safeguarding login credentials, enabling available security features, and exercising caution when sharing personal information online.

International Data Transfers Although TheTradeNudes is operated by a company based in Canada, the Platform and its service providers may process or store personal information in other countries. These countries may have privacy laws that differ from those in your country of residence. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your personal information may be transferred to, stored in, or processed in jurisdictions outside your own, where it may become subject to the lawful access requirements of courts, regulators, or public authorities in those jurisdictions. Where required by applicable law, we take reasonable steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are implemented for international transfers of personal information.

Your Privacy Rights Depending on your location and applicable privacy laws, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights may include the right to:

• Request information regarding how your personal information has been used.

• Request a copy of certain personal information you have provided to us, where applicable.
• Submit a complaint to an applicable privacy regulator.

These rights are not absolute and may be limited where we are legally required or permitted to retain information or where disclosure would adversely affect the rights of others. We may request information necessary to verify your identity before responding to privacy-related requests.

Exercising Your Rights If you wish to exercise any of your privacy rights or have questions regarding the handling of your personal information, you may contact us using the contact information published on the Platform. We will respond to requests within the time required by applicable law and may request additional information where reasonably necessary to verify your identity or clarify your request. Where permitted by law, we may decline requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, repetitive, fraudulent, or that would adversely affect the rights of other individuals or our legitimate business interests.
