Terms of Service · Disclaimer
Last updated: July 2026
1. Service Overview
Global Card Index (the “Service”) is an information service that provides market data for trading cards. Based on transaction data collected from external markets, the Service provides estimated market prices (low / median / high), price history, and a market-wide index, along with portfolio tracking, watchlists, and price alert notifications for registered users.
2. Accounts
Some features (Portfolio, watchlist alerts, etc.) require an account registered with your email address. Sign-in links and notifications are sent to that address. You are responsible for keeping your email account secure. To delete your account and associated data, please request it via the in-service feedback function; we will process the deletion without undue delay.
3. Personal Data
The Service collects and uses the following information:
- Email address — for sign-in authentication and notifications you enable (price alerts, weekly summaries). Notifications can be turned off in account settings.
- Data you register — portfolio entries (cards, quantities, purchase prices, memos), watchlist items, and feedback submissions. Used to provide the respective features and improve the Service.
- Access logs — used for security and service improvement.
We do not sell personal data or provide it to third parties except as required by law. Data processing is entrusted to external providers (e.g. hosting, database, and email delivery services) only to the extent necessary to operate the Service. Aggregated, non-identifiable statistics (e.g. number of portfolio registrations per card) may be used and displayed within the Service.
4. Not Investment Advice
Price data, estimated market prices, index values, change rates, and market trend information provided by the Service do not constitute investment advice or trading recommendations. Decisions to buy, sell, or trade based on this information are solely your responsibility. The Service is not a registered investment advisor and is not subject to financial instruments regulations.
5. No Price Guarantees
Price information on the Service is aggregated from external market transaction data for reference purposes. It does not guarantee actual transaction prices. Market prices fluctuate significantly based on supply, demand, timing, and card condition. Listed prices may differ from actual sale prices.
6. Nature and Limits of Data
Each card index is assigned a confidence level (Confidence):
- HIGH10+ samples, outlier rate under 20%. Relatively reliable index value.
- MED3+ samples. Useful reference but may fluctuate.
- LOW / ReferenceLimited samples, accuracy is restricted. Use as a rough guide only.
The Service is currently in public beta. Data collection and calculation algorithms are being refined and may change without notice.
