We do not intentionally collect, process, transfer, or store Sensitive Data.
The servers used to operate and provide the Sites and Services may collect data pertaining to you and the equipment, software, and communication methods you use to access the Internet and the Sites and Services, including Internet protocol (“IP”) addresses assigned to the computers and other devices from where you access the Internet, your Internet service provider (ISP), device ID numbers and unique identifiers, your media access control (MAC) address, your operating system, your computer screen resolution, your web browser type, the pages you access on the Sites and Services, the websites you access before and after visiting the Sites and Services, the length of time you spend on the Sites and Services, date and time stamps, clickstream data, your approximate geographic location, performance statistics, and usage data. WE may use this information to administer the Sites and Services and its servers, to generate statistical information, to monitor and analyze Sites and Services traffic and usage patterns, to monitor and help prevent fraud, to investigate complaints and violations of our policies, and to improve the Sites and Services. We may combine this information with other Personal Data (including personal information) and information obtained from third parties for security reasons and to protect our rights or the rights of others. The suppliers that we use to provide the Sites and Services may collect information about your visits to the Sites and Services and other websites. Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technologies as explained below.
We use cookies and other similar technologies, including log data, on our Sites and Services to distinguish you from other users of our websites and apps (including when you browse third party websites). A cookie is a piece of data stored on a Sites and Services visitor’s hard drive by the visitor’s web browser. This helps us to provide you with a good experience when you use our services, to help you access the Sites and Services, to identify repeat visitors to the Sites and Services, to track how you access and use the Sites and Services, to learn when and how users visit the Sites and Services, to learn whether our Sites and Services and/or its pages are popular, to learn which search terms are used to find the Sites and Services, to learn which websites direct you to the Sites and Services, to help display certain information on the Sites and Services, and to improve your enjoyment of the Sites and Services. The Sites and Services may use both cookies that we implement, and cookies implemented by our suppliers and other third parties. “First-party” cookies allow your browser to talk to the actual website that you are visiting, whereas “third-party” cookies allow your browser to talk to third-party websites, such as the source of an ad that appears on the website you are visiting or a third-party analytics provider. Additionally, a cookie can either be a “session” cookie or a “persistent” cookie. Session cookies exist only for so long as you are visiting the applicable website. Session cookies are typically deleted or removed when you exit or quit your browser application. Persistent cookies exist for a set period of time, for example, six months or one year. Each time you visit a website that has implemented a persistent cookie, that cookie will remain active until its predetermined expiration date. Our suppliers may use cookies and tracking technologies, such as pixel tags, to track Sites and Services visitors across the Internet to understand how you get to the Sites and Services and for the analytics purposes disclosed in this Privacy Policy. We do not have access or control over these cookies and this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of third-party cookies. See below for more information on the types of cookies collected and their purposes:
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. Browsers generally also allow users to manage cookies in the browser’s settings. For example, a browser may allow you to reject cookies from certain websites, reject certain types of cookies regardless of the website, reject or disable all cookies from all websites, and/or delete cookies stored previously. Some browsers also give you the option of being notified every time a cookie is sent to your browser by a website. You can disable or limit cookies but doing so may impact your use and enjoyment of the Sites and Services and other websites. For example, the Sites and Services may not be able to be personalized for you, may no longer capture or remember your preferences or other choices you have made on the Sites and Services in the past, and may not remember your name or contact information. Changing your cookie preferences in one browser will not necessarily carry over to other browsers, so you may need to adjust your preferences each time you get a new computer, install a new browser, upgrade an existing browser, or alter or delete a browser’s cookie file.
The Sites and Services may also use the following types of tracking technologies: web beacons (also called clear GIFs), flash cookies, and pixels (also called pixel tags). Web beacons are tiny graphics with unique identifiers that function similar to how cookies function but, in contrast to cookies, web beacons are embedded invisibly on websites. Flash cookies collect and store information about your use of a website and are commonly used for advertisements and videos. Pixel tags can be placed on websites or within emails to track your interactions with those websites and when emails are opened.
Our servers also automatically record Log Data which includes information such as your internet service provider, your computer’s internet protocol address, browser type and operating system, referring/exit pages, clickstream data, pages of our Sites and Services that you visit (and the time spent on these pages), information you search for on our Sites or Services, and other statistics. We use this information to monitor and analyze your use of our Sites or Services and to better tailor them to your needs in order to provide you with a better experience.
Please click here to see the Cookies used on our site.
The Sites and Services uses third-party analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to collect and process data about your use of the Sites and Services, including when you visit the Sites and Services, URLs of the websites that you visit prior to visiting the Sites and Services and when you visit those websites, and IP addresses assigned to the devices from where you access the Internet. Our analytics providers may set and read cookies to collect this data and your web browser will automatically send data collected by those cookies to our analytics providers. Our analytics providers use this data to provide us with reports that we will use to improve the Sites’ and Services’ structure and content.
For more information on how Google uses this data, visit Google’s Privacy Policy and Google’s page on How Google uses data when you use our partners’ sites or apps. To prevent this data from being used by Google Analytics, follow the instructions to download and install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for each browser you use. Using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on will not prevent Topstep from using other analytics tools and will not prevent data from being sent to the Sites and Services itself or to Google. For more information about how Google Analytics uses cookies to measure user interactions on websites, visit Google Analytics Cookie Usage on Websites. You may disable cookies as discussed below, but that may impact your use and enjoyment of the Sites and Services.
Additionally, the Sites and Services may use or participate in advertising networks and related advertising services that are managed and provided by third-party advertising servers, advertising agencies, technology vendors, and research firms, including, without limitation, Google Ads. These services collect information about your visits to and interactions with the Sites and Services and other websites and will use that information to target advertisements for goods and services and to display those advertisements on other websites. The information collected may be associated with your personal information.
We use Google Ads and Google Analytics advertising features on our Sites and Services, which we use for the purposes set forth in this Privacy Policy. Through Google Ads, Google uses your Internet searches, cookies, and similar identifiers (e.g., pixel tags) to collect information about your visits to the Sites and Services and your interaction with our products and services to generate targeted advertisements to you on other websites that you visit across the Internet. We may also enable and implement Google Analytics advertising features on the Sites and Services. To opt out of remarketing advertising provided through Google, to customize your ad preferences, or to limit Google’s collection or use this information, visit Google’s Safety Center and Google’s Ad Settings and follow Google’s personalized ad opt-out instructions. Opting out will not affect your use of the Sites and Services.
For certain Facebook advertising services, Facebook Ireland is a Joint Controller (as defined in the GDPR) and that information required under the GDPR related to such processing can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy. We work with Facebook and use their advertising services to measure and improve our ads and marketing efforts, as well as to display more relevant advertising to you. For further information on how Facebook Ireland processes your personal information, including the legal basis, and the ways to exercise your rights, please visit https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
To change your preferences with respect to certain online ads and to obtain more information about third-party ad networks and online behavioral advertising, please visit the National Advertising Initiative Consumer opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Program. Please remember that changing your settings with individual web browsers or ad networks will not necessarily carry over to other browsers or ad networks. As a result, depending on the opt-outs you request, you may still see our ads from time to time. Your device may also include a feature (“Limit Ad Tracking” on iOS or “Opt Out of Interest-Based Ads” on Android) that allows you to opt out of having certain information collected through apps used for behavioral advertising purposes.
Personal Data you provide to us should be relevant to the purposes for which it is to be used, and, to the extent necessary for those purposes, should be accurate, complete, and up-to-date.

Topstep retains Personal Data for as long as we reasonably require it for legal or business purposes. In determining data retention periods, Topstep takes into consideration local laws, contractual obligations, and the expectations and requirements of our Users. We will not retain data longer than is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by applicable laws or regulations. When we no longer need personal information, we securely delete or destroy it.
The Sites and/or Services incorporate content, including feeds, scripts embedded in the Sites’ and/or Services’ code, and visible content (e.g., videos), provided by third parties. In some cases, those third parties collect data about how you interact with their content. For example, Google Maps or YouTube. Our Sites and Services may include Google Maps features and content. Google Maps features and content is subject to the then-current versions of Google Maps/Google Earth Additional Terms of Service at https://maps.google.com/help/terms_maps.html and Google Privacy Policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/. Our Sites and Services may use YouTube to make content in video format available to you. By accessing a part of the Sites and/or Services where videos are available, watching an embedded video, or otherwise interacting with any content made available through YouTube, you signify your agreement with YouTube’s terms and conditions. YouTube collects and otherwise has access to usage data (e.g., what videos you accessed and watched) through videos embedded in the Services as further described in YouTube’s Privacy Policy.
