PROPPED – The Propfirm HUB
Unterer Hofstattweg 12
71711 Steinheim an der Murr
Germany

2. Website Access and Hosting
Our website is hosted using Hostinger services.
When you access the website, technical information may be processed by our hosting and infrastructure providers, including your IP address, request date and time, requested page, browser and operating-system information, referrer information and technical error records.
This information is used to deliver the website, maintain its availability, investigate technical problems and protect it against misuse.
Where this processing is necessary for these purposes, its legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The relevant hosting entity, processing locations, retention periods and contractual safeguards depend on the hosting services configured for this website.
3. Contact and Correspondence
If you contact us by email or through an available contact form, we process the information you provide, such as your name, email address and message, to respond to your request.
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the request concerns a contract or steps requested before entering into a contract. Other correspondence is processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in responding to enquiries under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Please do not send passwords, payment-card details or other unnecessary sensitive information.
4. Cookies, Browser Storage and Consent
Website functions, embedded services and affiliate providers may use cookies or similar storage technologies.
Where legally required, non-essential storage or access to information on your device requires your consent. Necessary technologies may be used where permitted to provide a service you have requested.
The legal basis for consent-based personal-data processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. Access to or storage of information on your device is additionally governed by applicable device-storage rules, including Section 25 TDDDG where applicable.
You can manage cookies through your browser. Where a consent-management tool is provided, you can also use it to change or withdraw your choices. Blocking necessary technologies may affect website functionality.
Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
5. Affiliate Links, Partner Codes and Attribution
We participate in affiliate arrangements with prop firms and other service providers. When a purchase or registration is attributed to one of our partner links or codes, we may receive a commission.
Opening an affiliate link or applying a partner code communicates with the relevant provider or affiliate network. That service may process the partner identifier, your IP address, browser information, cookies and registration or purchase information under its own privacy policy.
Affiliate providers may make attribution and commission information available to us. The information provided depends on the particular affiliate programme and may include referral identifiers, purchase or commission amounts, dates and transaction status.
Where we process attribution information to administer our affiliate business, the legal basis is our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Legal recordkeeping obligations may require processing under Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Consent is obtained where required for tracking technologies.
Please consult the relevant provider’s privacy policy before registering or purchasing. Offers and eligibility are determined by the provider.
6. External Links, Discord and Embedded Services
Our website links to external services, including Discord, YouTube and social-media platforms.
Following an external link causes your browser to communicate with that destination. If external content is embedded directly into a page, the provider may receive technical information when the content loads, even without a separate visit to its website. Consent must be obtained before loading such content where required.
If you interact with us through Discord or another external platform, that platform processes your information under its own privacy policy. We process messages and information made available to us to respond, provide community services and administer our community.
Depending on the interaction, the legal basis for our processing is Article 6(1)(b) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or consent under Article 6(1)(a) GDPR where applicable.
7. PROPPED Companion Browser Extension
Purpose
PROPPED Companion helps users access partner offers on supported futures prop firm websites. It provides firm recognition, configured partner codes, checkout assistance, a searchable firm directory, favorites and an optional floating widget.
Information Processed on Supported Pages
The extension processes the current page address to identify supported providers and checkout routes.
It reads page text and relevant page elements to locate coupon controls, enter and submit partner codes, and detect checkout responses. Some detection routines inspect text across the checkout document, which may also contain personal or payment-related information displayed by the provider.
This processing occurs locally in the browser. The current extension does not send checkout page contents, passwords, billing addresses or payment-card details to PROPPED servers.
The extension does not maintain a database of your browsing history.
Local Storage and Temporary State
The extension stores the following locally in your browser:
- Favorite firms.
- Widget and auto-apply preferences.
- Welcome-tour completion status.
It also uses temporary checkout information, such as the detected firm, configured code and checkout status, to update the popup, widget and browser badge. Temporary state is not stored as a persistent browsing-history record.
Saved preferences remain until changed, cleared through the browser or removed when the extension is uninstalled.
Partner-Code Application
Depending on the installed version and your settings, the extension may enter and submit partner codes automatically or after an activation click. Certain configured provider routes may open an affiliate page.
These actions communicate with the provider or affiliate service through its website. The affiliate processing described in Section 5 applies.
The extension cannot guarantee that a code will be accepted, that a discount is available for a particular product, or that the displayed offer is the lowest available price.
Controls
You can change the available extension preferences, disable the floating widget, hide it for the current page and remove favorites. Reload checkout pages after changing settings where necessary.
You can stop the extension from operating by disabling or uninstalling it. Browser settings may also allow you to restrict its website access.
Purposes and Legal Bases
Where local extension processing involves personal data for which PROPPED is responsible, it is used to provide the requested extension features under Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Consent is relied upon where required for optional processing or device storage.
Providing these features does not authorise unrelated use of your browsing information.
Data Use Restrictions
The current extension does not include analytics that transmit browsing activity to PROPPED servers.
Extension-processed information is not sold, used for unrelated advertising, or used to determine creditworthiness or for lending purposes. Its use is limited to providing the stated extension features and complying with applicable obligations.
8. Recipients and International Transfers
Depending on the service used, personal data may be processed by hosting and technical service providers, communication platforms, affiliate providers, professional advisers and authorities where disclosure is legally required.
Some providers act as processors on our behalf; others process information as independent controllers.
Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, applicable GDPR transfer requirements must be met. Depending on the recipient and destination, safeguards may include an adequacy decision or Standard Contractual Clauses with supplementary measures where necessary.
Contact info@prpd.io for information about recipients and safeguards relevant to your interaction with us.
9. Retention
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the stated purpose, to meet legal obligations or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
Retention depends on the information involved:
- Technical records are retained according to operational and security requirements.
- Correspondence is retained while needed to handle the enquiry and any resulting obligations.
- Affiliate and accounting records may be subject to statutory retention periods.
- Extension preferences remain locally stored as described in Section 7.
Where deletion is required, information is deleted or anonymised unless a legal basis requires further retention.
10. Security
We use appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data. Our website uses HTTPS encryption.
No online service or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Please keep your browser and extension updated and protect access to your devices.
11. Your Rights
Subject to the conditions and exceptions in the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- Access your personal data.
- Correct inaccurate information.
- Request deletion.
- Restrict processing.
- Receive data in a portable format where applicable.
- Withdraw consent at any time.
- Object to processing based on legitimate interests on grounds relating to your particular situation.
Where personal data is processed for direct marketing, you may object to that processing at any time.
To exercise your rights, contact info@prpd.io. We may request information necessary to verify your identity.
You may also lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority. In particular, you may contact the authority in your place of habitual residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. Our local supervisory authority is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
12. Automated Decisions
We do not use information processed through PROPPED Companion to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects concerning users, including credit or lending decisions.
Prop firm evaluation, account eligibility, purchases and payouts are administered by the respective providers.
13. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy when our services, processing practices or applicable requirements change.
The date above identifies the latest revision. Where required, we will provide additional notice or request consent before introducing new processing. An update to this policy does not itself constitute your consent to new processing.
