1. What data we collect
Information you submit to PropTradeCenter
When you voluntarily provide information to us, we may process the information contained in your submission.
For example, the Submit a Report form may collect:
- the prop trading firm concerned,
- report category,
- description of the issue or event,
- your country, if provided,
- account size, if provided,
- an evidence or supporting-document URL, if provided, and
- other information you choose to include in your submission.
The report form does not require you to create a public user account.
You should avoid including unnecessary personal data or sensitive information about yourself or other individuals in a submission.
Communications
If you contact PropTradeCenter by email or through another communication channel, we may process:
- your email address,
- your name or organisation, where provided,
- the contents of your message,
- attachments or supporting evidence you provide, and
- information necessary to respond to your enquiry.
This can include correction requests, research enquiries, commercial enquiries, privacy requests, or information submitted for editorial review.
Technical and security data
When you use PropTradeCenter, certain technical information may be processed automatically by our hosting, security, and infrastructure providers.
This may include:
- IP address,
- browser and device information,
- requested pages and timestamps,
- approximate geographic information derived from network data,
- referring page,
- error and security logs, and
- other technical information necessary to operate and protect the website.
Analytics and usage data
We may use aggregated or privacy-conscious analytics to understand how PropTradeCenter is used, such as page visits, traffic sources, device categories, and general usage patterns.
We use analytics to improve the site, understand which research and data products are useful, and identify technical problems.
Where analytics technology requires consent under applicable law, it will only be activated after the appropriate consent has been obtained.
Cookies and local storage
PropTradeCenter may use cookies or similar browser-storage technologies where necessary for website functionality, security, authentication, or user preferences.
For example, the site may store a display-theme preference locally in your browser.
Administrative and internal operator areas may use authentication technologies provided by our infrastructure providers.
We do not use essential storage mechanisms to build advertising profiles about individual visitors.
2. Trader reports and submitted evidence
Information submitted through PropTradeCenter's report or evidence channels is treated as non-public by default.
Submissions may be reviewed by PTC editorial staff as part of:
- fact checking,
- firm research,
- risk monitoring,
- investigation of industry events,
- correction procedures, and
- assessment of whether a report can be independently verified.
Submitting information does not mean that the information will automatically be published.
Where information from a submission contributes to published research or reporting, we aim to avoid publishing personally identifying information unless:
- it is necessary and legally justified,
- the information is already legitimately public, or
- the individual concerned has provided appropriate consent.
We may retain evidence separately from publicly displayed findings in order to maintain an editorial and research audit trail.
3. How we use personal data
We may use personal data to:
- operate, maintain, and secure PropTradeCenter,
- review reports and submitted evidence,
- investigate reported industry events,
- respond to enquiries and correction requests,
- maintain research and editorial records,
- prevent abuse, fraud, spam, and security incidents,
- analyse and improve website performance,
- manage relationships with service providers,
- comply with legal and regulatory obligations, and
- establish, exercise, or defend legal claims where necessary.
We do not use submitted trader reports to create public personal profiles of the people submitting them.
4. Legal basis for processing
Depending on the circumstances, our legal bases under the GDPR may include:
Legitimate interests — operating and securing PropTradeCenter, conducting research, maintaining editorial records, responding to enquiries, preventing abuse, and improving our services.
Consent — where you have specifically agreed to a particular use of your data, such as certain communications or optional tracking technologies.
Contract performance — where processing is necessary to provide a service or fulfil an arrangement you have requested.
Legal obligation — where processing is required to comply with applicable law.
Legal claims — where information must be retained or processed to establish, exercise, or defend legal rights.
Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the nature of the information, the purpose of processing, and the rights and reasonable expectations of the individuals concerned.
5. Research and publicly available information
PropTradeCenter conducts research using information from company websites, public records, regulatory sources, public communications, social platforms, third-party data providers, archived information, and other legitimate research sources.
Some of this information may contain personal data, particularly where it concerns company founders, executives, representatives, or other publicly identified individuals.
Where personal data is used for research or editorial purposes, we aim to:
- collect only information relevant to the research purpose,
- distinguish documented information from inference,
- avoid publishing unnecessary private information,
- maintain appropriate source records, and
- correct inaccurate information where appropriate.
Being publicly available does not automatically mean that information can be used without restriction. We consider applicable data-protection, editorial, and legal requirements when processing such information.
6. Data sharing
We do not sell personal data.
We may share or allow processing of personal data with service providers that help us operate PropTradeCenter, including:
Infrastructure and database providers
We use service providers such as Supabase for database, authentication, and related infrastructure services.
Hosting and technical providers
Website hosting, content delivery, security, monitoring, and technical infrastructure providers may process limited technical information required to provide their services.
Email and communications providers
Email providers may process information necessary to send, receive, and store communications.
Professional advisers
Where necessary, information may be shared with legal, accounting, compliance, or other professional advisers subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations.
Legal requirements
We may disclose information where required by law, court order, competent authority, or where reasonably necessary to protect our rights, users, systems, or legitimate interests.
Service providers process personal data only for appropriate purposes and subject to applicable contractual and data-protection requirements.
7. External, sponsored, and affiliate links
PropTradeCenter may contain links to external websites.
Where commercial, sponsored, or affiliate links are used, they are identified or disclosed where appropriate.
Following an external link takes you to a third-party website whose privacy practices are governed by that site's own policies.
The destination website may collect technical information, use cookies, or process referral or affiliate identifiers independently of PropTradeCenter.
We do not control the privacy practices of third-party websites.
8. Data retention
We retain personal data only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected.
Retention periods may differ depending on the type of information.
For example:
- correspondence may be retained while an enquiry, correction, or business matter remains relevant;
- trader reports and supporting evidence may be retained where necessary for verification, historical research, editorial audit trails, dispute handling, or legal purposes;
- technical and security logs may be retained for a limited period necessary for security and system administration; and
- information required by law may be retained for the applicable statutory period.
When personal data is no longer required, we delete, anonymise, or otherwise securely dispose of it where reasonably practicable.
9. Your rights under the GDPR
Where the GDPR applies, you may have the right to:
- access personal data we hold about you,
- request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data,
- request deletion of your personal data,
- request restriction of processing,
- object to processing based on legitimate interests,
- receive certain data in a portable format,
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, and
- lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
These rights are subject to applicable legal exceptions. For example, we may need to retain certain information where required by law, for the establishment or defence of legal claims, or where another lawful basis permits continued processing.
To exercise your rights, contact:
support@proptradecenter.com
We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
We will respond within the time limits required by applicable data-protection law, normally within one month under the GDPR.
10. Supervisory authority
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent data-protection authority.
In Finland, the supervisory authority is the:
Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman
You may also have the right to contact the supervisory authority in another EU or EEA country where applicable.
11. International data transfers
Some service providers may process information outside Finland or outside the European Economic Area.
Where personal data is transferred outside the EEA, we require an appropriate legal transfer mechanism where necessary, such as:
- an adequacy decision by the European Commission,
- Standard Contractual Clauses,
- another legally recognised safeguard, or
- another permitted basis under applicable data-protection law.
12. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, loss, or misuse.
These measures may include access controls, authentication, restricted administrative systems, database security controls, encrypted connections, logging, and limited access to research submissions.
No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security.
13. Children
PropTradeCenter is not directed at children.
We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children through the platform. If you believe that a child has provided personal information to us, please contact us so that we can assess and, where appropriate, remove the information.
14. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as PropTradeCenter develops, new services are introduced, or legal and technical requirements change.
The Last updated date at the top of this page shows when the policy was most recently revised.
Material changes may be communicated through a prominent notice on PropTradeCenter or by another appropriate method.
