Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 17, 2026

TradeMentorHQ (“we,” “us,” or “this site”) publishes educational content about international trade practice — Incoterms, payment methods, customs, logistics, insurance, and export basics. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit tradementorhq.com, how it’s used, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

  • Comments. If you leave a comment on a post, we collect the name, email address, and website (optional) you provide, along with the comment content and an anonymized version of your IP address for spam detection.
  • Contact requests. If you reach out via our contact page or email, we collect whatever information you choose to share in that message.
  • Automatically collected data. Like most websites, our server and any analytics or advertising tools we use may automatically log standard technical information such as your browser type, general location (derived from IP address), pages visited, and time spent on the site.

Cookies and Advertising

This site uses cookies to operate correctly and, where applicable, to serve advertising. We currently use or intend to use Google AdSense to display ads. Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies (including the DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on your prior visits to this site or other websites on the internet.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this site and/or other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors’ use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info.

If we add Google Analytics or a similar analytics service in the future, it will also use cookies to collect anonymous traffic data (pages viewed, time on site, general geographic region) to help us understand how the site is used. This data does not personally identify you.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to: operate and maintain the site, moderate comments and prevent spam/abuse, respond to inquiries sent through our contact page, understand how visitors use the site so we can improve it, and — where advertising is enabled — allow ad networks like Google AdSense to serve relevant ads.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

Third-Party Links

Our articles frequently link to external sources — official bodies like the International Chamber of Commerce, government trade agencies, and other reference material — for accuracy and further reading. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of external sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policy of any site you visit after leaving ours.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or request deletion of the personal information we hold about you (for example, comment data), and to opt out of cookie-based advertising as described above. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details on our Contact page.

Children’s Privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will remove it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision.
