Website Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 9, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes how Rarewake Trading Co. ("Rarewake," "we," "us") handles information collected through rarewaketradingco.com (the "Website"). It does not cover Rarewake Vault, the separate software product, which has its own privacy policy. Rarewake Trading Co. is an independently operated business based on Long Island, New York.
Information We May Collect
Depending on how you use the Website, we may collect:
- Your name, email address, and phone number, if provided
- Information you submit about a collection you're interested in selling, including descriptions, approximate value, and location or ZIP code if provided
- Photographs you upload as part of a collection submission
- Your preferred contact method
- Standard web server and log data (such as IP address, browser type, and pages visited), where applicable
- Analytics data, if and when analytics tools are enabled on the Website
How We Use This Information
Information submitted through the sell form or contact page is used to respond to your inquiry, evaluate a potential collection purchase, and communicate with you about that process. We do not use collection submissions for any purpose unrelated to responding to your inquiry.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information. We use service providers to operate the Website and process submissions — for example, providers that host the Website, provide private cloud storage for uploaded photographs, help prevent spam and abuse, and deliver our email notifications. These providers process information on our behalf, solely to provide those services, and are not permitted to use your information for their own purposes. We do not share your information with other third parties except as necessary to operate the Website or as required by law.
Photographs
Photos you upload as part of a collection submission are transmitted securely and stored in private cloud storage that is not publicly accessible. They are used solely to evaluate your collection and are not published or used for any other purpose without your separate consent.
Other Contact Channels
If you reach out by phone, text, or Instagram instead of the Website, information you share through those channels is handled the same way — solely to respond to your inquiry — but is also subject to that platform's own privacy practices (for example, Instagram's, when you message us there).
Cookies & Analytics
The Website does not currently use tracking cookies or third-party analytics. If this changes, this policy will be updated to describe what is collected and why.
Data Retention
We retain collection submissions and related communications for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry and maintain accurate business records.
Your Choices
You may request that we delete information you've submitted by contacting us using the details on the Contact page. We will honor reasonable requests where we are not otherwise required to retain information.
Children's Privacy
The Website is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes To This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated effective date at the top of this page.
