Effective July 15, 2026 · SSD Grading Inc.
This Privacy Policy explains how SSD Grading Inc. collects, uses, and protects your information when you use the SSD Grading Services.
1. Information we collect
We collect:
- Account data — name, email, and authentication details (including via Google, Apple, or Facebook sign-in if you choose).
- Card data — the photos you upload and the grading results, inventory, and order history associated with your account.
- Payment data — processed by Stripe. We do not store full card numbers; we retain limited billing metadata (e.g., plan, status).
- Usage & device data — pages viewed, actions taken, approximate session information, and analytics used to improve the product.
2. How we use information
To provide and improve the Services, grade and certify cards, maintain population records, process payments, provide support, prevent fraud, and comply with law. Aggregated, de-identified grading data may be used to calibrate and improve our grading algorithms.
3. Third parties we share with
We share limited data with service providers that help us operate: Stripe (payments), our hosting and database providers, our image storage provider, and market-data sources (e.g., eBay/SerpApi) used to show pricing. We do not sell your personal information.
4. Cookies
We use essential cookies for authentication and session management, and analytics cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
5. Data retention
We retain account and grading records for as long as your account is active and as needed to maintain certification and population integrity, resolve disputes, and comply with legal obligations.
6. Your rights
Depending on your location (including under GDPR and CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at info@ssdgrading.com.
7. Security
We use industry-standard measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
8. Children
The Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the applicable minimum age), and we do not knowingly collect their data.
9. Changes
We may update this Policy; material changes will be posted here with a new effective date.
