Privacy Policy

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains what information Paragon Pawns (the "Website") collects, how it is used, and how it is protected. By using the Website, you agree to the practices described in this policy.

2. Information We Collect

When you create an account and use the Website, we collect and store the following information:

• Your name, email address, and profile picture, as provided by the sign-in provider you use to log in.
• Cards you have purchased, so we can maintain your purchase history.
• Your trading card collection information, if you choose to track your collection on the Website.
• Items you add to your cart, wishlist, favorites, and items you mark as interested to sell.

You can also purchase items as a guest without creating an account. For guest purchases, we only receive the information Stripe provides to complete your order, such as the name, email address, and shipping details you enter at checkout — nothing else is collected, and no account or profile is created for you.

3. Sign-In and Credentials

The Website does not store passwords or login credentials. Signing in is handled through OpenID Connect by your chosen identity provider, which authenticates you and shares only your basic profile information (name, email address, and profile picture) with us. Your password never passes through or gets stored on our servers.

4. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used only to operate and improve the Website. This includes:

• Identifying you and displaying your account and profile.
• Processing your orders and maintaining your purchase history.
• Storing and displaying your tracked collection, cart, wishlist, favorites, and sell interests.
• Communicating with you about your account or orders when necessary.

5. What We Do Not Do

We do not sell your personal data to any company, and we do not share or give your information to third parties in any way, except where strictly required to operate the Website (such as payment processing described below) or where required by law.

6. Payments

Payments are processed by Stripe. Your payment details, such as credit card numbers, are handled directly by Stripe and are never stored on our servers. For details on how Stripe handles your information, please refer to Stripe's privacy policy.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account information, purchase history, and collection data for as long as your account is active, so that the features that depend on them keep working. If you would like your account and associated data removed, contact us and we will process your request.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page. Your continued use of the Website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. Contact

If you have questions about this Privacy Policy, how your data is handled, or wish to request removal of your account and data, contact us at [email protected].
