Privacy Policy

We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this Privacy Policy ("Policy"). This Policy describes the types of information we may collect from you or that you may provide ("Personal Information") on the halcyontraderfunding.com website ("Website" or "Service") and any related websites, subdomains, applications, software, dashboards, APIs, and all related products and services offered by Halcyon Trader Funding LLC, including but not limited to prediction market challenge accounts, event-based contracts, simulated trading environments, trading evaluation accounts, educational tools, analytics systems, and any other services now or in the future (collectively, the "Services"). This Policy is a legally binding agreement between you ("User", "you", or "your") and Halcyon Trader Funding LLC ("Halcyon Trader Funding", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using any of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Policy in full. If you do not agree, you must not access or use the Services.

We may collect, receive, process, store, analyze, and retain information including but not limited to your name, email address, IP address, device identifiers, browser information, operating system, geolocation data, behavioral usage data, account activity, login activity, transaction activity, payment information, identity verification information, biometric or liveness verification data where applicable, prediction market activity, event contract participation, trading evaluation behavior, platform interactions, and any other information you voluntarily or automatically provide through your use of the Services. We also automatically collect technical and usage data when you access the Services, including pages visited, time spent, click activity, navigation patterns, referral sources, session recordings, error logs, performance metrics, and system interaction data.

We use this information for purposes including but not limited to providing and maintaining the Services, operating prediction market systems, processing challenge accounts, preventing fraud, detecting abuse, ensuring market integrity, monitoring user behavior, improving platform performance, conducting analytics, enforcing compliance policies, fulfilling legal obligations, conducting risk assessments, and supporting security and identity verification processes. We may retain incomplete registration data or partially submitted forms even if you do not complete registration, and such data may be used for operational, compliance, fraud prevention, analytics, or marketing purposes as permitted by law.

We may collect Personal Information directly from you, automatically through your use of the Services, and from third-party sources including identity verification providers, analytics providers, advertising partners, payment processors, affiliates, and service providers. We may combine information collected from multiple sources to improve accuracy, enhance security, prevent fraud, and improve Services functionality. We act as both a data controller and a data processor depending on the context of data collection and processing. Where we determine the purpose and means of processing Personal Information, we act as a data controller. Where we process Personal Information on behalf of users or third parties under instruction, we act as a data processor.

Processing of Personal Information may be based on legal grounds including user consent, contractual necessity, legal obligations, regulatory compliance, fraud prevention, platform integrity, and legitimate business interests. We may process Personal Information for compliance with applicable laws, regulations, subpoenas, legal processes, enforcement requests, governmental requests, or regulatory investigations. We may also process data for the purpose of protecting our rights, users, systems, Services, and business operations.

We may use third-party payment processors to process payments, and such processors may independently collect and store payment information in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not store full payment card details on our servers except where required for compliance, fraud prevention, or transactional processing through secure systems. We may collect and process identity verification data including government-issued identification, selfies, biometric verification data, liveness detection, proof of address, and related identity authentication information through third-party verification providers for purposes including compliance, fraud prevention, anti-money laundering obligations, sanctions screening, risk management, and account security.

We may collect, analyze, and retain data related to trading behavior, prediction market participation, event contract activity, challenge performance, user ranking activity, and account performance metrics. This includes aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data which may be used for internal analytics, product development, research, risk modeling, compliance monitoring, and business purposes, and may be shared or licensed to affiliates, partners, vendors, service providers, or collaborators in aggregated or non-personally identifiable form.

We may disclose Personal Information to service providers, affiliates, contractors, vendors, identity verification providers, analytics providers, fraud prevention providers, compliance partners, legal advisors, auditors, regulators, or government authorities when necessary or required. We may also disclose information when we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights, enforce our Terms and Policies, investigate fraud, protect user safety, maintain market integrity, respond to legal requests, or comply with applicable laws.

We retain Personal Information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, including compliance with legal obligations, regulatory requirements, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, security purposes, operational needs, and business continuity. Retained data may include account information, transaction history, verification data, behavioral data, and aggregated analytics data. Even after deletion requests, we may retain certain data in backup systems, archival systems, or anonymized datasets where removal is not technically or legally required.

We implement cookies, tracking technologies, pixels, session monitoring tools, analytics tools, and similar technologies to operate the Services, enhance user experience, monitor performance, analyze usage behavior, prevent fraud, improve security, and support marketing and advertising efforts. By using the Services, you consent to the use of cookies and tracking technologies where permitted by law. We implement reasonable administrative, technical, physical, and organizational security measures to protect Personal Information; however, you acknowledge and agree that no system is completely secure and we cannot guarantee absolute protection against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction of data. You use the Services at your own risk.

We may restrict access to the Services based on geographic location, jurisdictional restrictions, regulatory requirements, sanctions compliance, internal risk policies, fraud prevention measures, or legal obligations. We may block, suspend, or terminate access at our sole discretion. We may monitor user activity across the Services, including prediction market activity, trading behavior, account usage, device activity, IP activity, communication logs, and behavioral patterns for purposes including fraud detection, abuse prevention, collusion detection, market integrity monitoring, compliance enforcement, and security protection. We reserve the right to investigate any suspected violation of this Policy or any related Terms of Service and take appropriate action including account suspension, termination, forfeiture of balances, or reporting to authorities.

We may update, modify, or amend this Policy at any time at our discretion. Continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy. If you do not agree to any changes, you must stop using the Services immediately. You may request access, correction, or deletion of your Personal Information by contacting us; however, we may deny or limit such requests where required by law, compliance obligations, fraud prevention needs, dispute resolution, or legitimate business interests. Some data may remain in backups, logs, or aggregated datasets even after deletion.

By using the Services, you explicitly acknowledge and agree that you have read, understood, and consent to the collection, processing, storage, sharing, and use of your information as described in this Policy in connection with all Services including prediction markets, challenge accounts, evaluation systems, and any related offerings.
