Last updated: September 2025
At Icon Marketplace, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you use our website and services.
By accessing or using Icon Marketplace, you agree to this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We may collect the following types of information:
- Order & Checkout Data: When you purchase a creator contract or scouting service, we collect your name, email, payment details, and order history.
- Payment Information:
- If you pay by credit card, transactions are processed via Stripe. We do not store your full card information.
- If you pay in cryptocurrency, we record the wallet address used for the transaction.
- Refund Handling: Regardless of the original payment method, all refunds are processed in USDT (ERC-20), equal to the original payment amount.
- Communication Data: Information exchanged via Telegram, WhatsApp, email, or phone when you contact us for support or onboarding.
- Technical Data: Standard web analytics such as IP address, browser type, device, and cookies to improve performance.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use collected data to:

3. Payments & Refunds
- Payments: All payments are processed securely via Stripe (for card transactions) or trusted cryptocurrency processors.
- Refunds: Every refund is issued in USDT (ERC-20), even if you originally paid with a card.
- Why USDT? USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US Dollar on the Ethereum blockchain (ERC-20). This ensures fast, secure, and borderless refunds that retain stable value.
