Last Updated: October 12, 2025 | Effective Date: October 12, 2025
Scope
This Privacy Policy (“Privacy Policy”) is designed to help you understand how Collectors Data Store, LLC (“CDS,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, shares, and otherwise processes personal information, and how you can exercise your privacy rights.
CDS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Ludex LLC and operates as its data licensing and commercialization arm. CDS licenses personal information collected by Ludex through its apps and websites (such as Ludex.com and the Ludex mobile app) and makes that data available to enterprise partners and data customers.
This Privacy Policy applies to information we license and disclose through our data offerings and data products (collectively, the “Services”). This Privacy Policy does not apply to information collected in the job applicant or worker context.
If you reside in a U.S. state with a consumer privacy law (e.g., California, Colorado, Virginia, Connecticut, Utah, Texas), please refer to the U.S. State Supplemental Privacy Notice below.
Personal Information We Collect
Because CDS operates as a data broker, we do not collect information directly from individuals. Instead, we license and process information provided to us by Ludex and other lawful sources. The categories of personal information we license may include:
- Identifiers: Name, alias, postal address, email address, IP address, or other unique identifiers.
- Customer Records Information: As defined in Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.80(e), including contact information and account records.
- Commercial Information: Card collection data, marketplace activities, transaction data (e.g., sales activity, purchase history), and collectible behaviors.
- Internet/Network Activity: Data on interactions with Ludex apps, websites, and embedded technologies (including cookies such as YouTube video embeds).
- Geolocation Data: Approximate location derived from IP addresses.
- Inferences: Profiles reflecting preferences, interests, or behaviors in the collectibles space.
We may also supplement this data with information obtained from public or third-party sources. For example, we may receive additional demographic, behavioral, or interest-based information from third-party data aggregator partners to supplement the information we collect about you. This information helps us improve our data products, analytics, and services.
How We Use Personal Information
We use and license information to:
- Develop, maintain, and provide data products and Services, including to operate, troubleshoot, develop, improve, upgrade or enhance our existing data products and Services or those we are considering offering in the future.
- License and commercialize our data products. We provide personal information to our customers and data-aggregator/enrichment partners (and, where applicable, to affiliates such as Ludex LLC) for identity resolution, analytics, measurement, and marketing uses, including limited onward disclosure by those partners to their customers for the same purposes, as permitted by law and our contracts.
- [To provide access to and maintain our Services, including to provide access to certain areas, functionalities, and features of our Services to our licensees.]
- Enable our licensees (e.g., marketing platforms, analytics providers, and sports/entertainment partners) to better understand audience trends and behaviors.
- Support research, analytics, and joint commercial initiatives with our partners.
- Comply with applicable laws and regulations.
- [To respond to or notify you, including when you contact us with a comment, request, or question; request information about our data products or Services; or to send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and other administrative messages.]
- For our business purposes, including to operate and improve our business, data products, and Services, in connection with potential business transactions (e.g., mergers or acquisitions), internal administration, debugging to identify and repair our Services-related errors, quality control, and data analysis; and for any other business purpose permitted by law.
- For legal compliance and safety purposes, such as to enforce our agreements and policies and notify you of changes; carry out activities required to comply with our legal obligations imposed by law, regulation, decree, court order, or legal settlement; investigate illegal activities, suspected fraud, or potential threats to the safety of any person; provide evidence in litigation in which we or our clients are involved; and other legitimate business purposes as permitted by law.
- Protect our rights, our affiliates, and the rights of others.
- For purposes that you have otherwise consented to.
- For other purposes permitted by applicable law, including to create de-identified, aggregated, or anonymized information.
How We Disclose Personal Information
We disclose information to third parties for various business purposes, including:
- Data Partners and Data Product Licensees: We share your information with our data aggregator partners that jointly develop our data products as well as enterprise customers that license Ludex-collected data from CDS.
- Affiliates: We share your information with our affiliates, including Ludex LLC, which provides CDS with the underlying data.
- Service Providers: We share your information with third-party service providers and vendors that support CDS operations. This includes providers offering IT support, cloud hosting, analytics, security, [payment processing], and related services.
- Professional Advisors: We share your information with our professional advisors, such as lawyers, auditors, and insurers, when necessary. Our professional advisors use your information only as directed or authorized by us and are prohibited from using or disclosing your information for any other purpose.
- Legal and Regulatory Authorities: We share your information where required by law, subpoena, or court order.
- Business Transactions: We share your information in connection with mergers, acquisitions, financing, or sale of assets.
Sale and Sharing of Personal Information
As defined by U.S. state privacy laws (including the California Privacy Rights Act, or CPRA), CDS is engaged in the sale and sharing of personal information.
- Data Licensing and Commercialization: CDS licenses datasets containing personal information to enterprise customers and to its third-party data aggregator partners, who jointly develop and enhance CDS’s data products. This exchange of personal information for monetary or other valuable consideration qualifies as a “sale” under applicable law. These activities also may constitute “sharing” for cross-context behavioral advertising purposes under state privacy laws.
- Limitations: CDS does not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under the age of 16. Because Ludex prohibits users under 16 from using its consumer-facing Services, CDS’s licensed data products are not intended to include the personal information of children or teens under 16.
You may opt out of CDS’s sale and sharing activities as described in the “Your Privacy Rights” section of this Privacy Policy.
[Advertising and Cookies: Ludex’s consumer-facing platforms allow third-party advertising partners (such as YouTube, through embedded videos) to collect information for advertising and analytics. CDS does not manage this directly but licenses data that may include identifiers tied to those interactions.]
We do not knowingly sell or share personal information of individuals under 16. Because our affiliate Ludex does not permit users under 16 to access its consumer-facing platforms, CDS does not receive or license such data for its data products.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under 16 has provided personal information to CDS, please contact us. If we become aware that we have collected such information, we will take steps to delete it.
