Legal bases: performance of contract, legitimate interests, consent (where required), and legal obligation.

- Paddle.com Market Limited (Merchant of Record): processes payments, manages subscriptions, handles tax compliance, invoicing, and refunds.

International transfers
We're based in the United States. If you're in the UK or EEA, your data may be transferred to and processed in the US. We rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses where required.
Retention
We keep your data while your account is active. You can delete your account anytime from settings, which removes your personal data within 30 days. Anonymized aggregates may persist. Records we're legally required to retain (e.g., tax records via Paddle) are kept for the required period.
Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to access, correct, export, delete, restrict, or object to processing of your data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, email support@refinetrade.app. We'll respond within 30 days. UK and EEA users have the right to lodge a complaint with their local supervisory authority.
Security
We use appropriate technical and organizational measures including encryption in transit, access controls, and audit logging. No system is perfectly secure; we'll notify affected users of any qualifying breach.
Cookies
We use cookies for authentication and basic, first-party analytics. We don't use third-party advertising trackers.
Children
Meridian is intended for users 13+. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian should consent on your behalf.
Changes
We'll post material changes here and notify active users by email.
