Comments
When visitors leave comments on the site, we collect the data shown in the comments form, plus the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help with spam detection. An anonymized string created from your email address (a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to check if you’re using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After comment approval, your profile picture is visible to the public in the comment context.
Media
If you upload images to the website, avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS). Visitors can download and extract any location data from images on the website.
Cookies
If you leave a comment, you may opt-in to saving your name, email, and website in cookies for convenience, lasting one year. We set a temporary cookie on the login page to check browser cookie acceptance (no personal data, discarded on browser close). Login cookies save information and choices for two days (or two weeks if “Remember Me” is selected); screen options last a year. Editing/publishing an article sets a cookie with the post ID (expires in 1 day, no personal data). We use cookies for trading tools functionality, session management, analytics (e.g., Google Analytics), and essential trackers.
Embedded content from other websites
Articles may include embedded content (e.g., videos, charts from trading APIs). This behaves as if you visited the other site: they may collect data, use cookies, embed tracking, and monitor interactions, especially if logged in there.
What personal data we collect for trading tools
To use our platform, we collect account details (username, password, email), payment information (via Stripe/Square, not stored on our servers), trading preferences, IP address, device info, and usage data (e.g., trades simulated, tool interactions). This enables account management, tool access, and performance improvements. Payment data is handled securely by processors.
How we use your data
We use data to provide trading tools, process payments, send updates/newsletters (with opt-out), analyze usage, prevent fraud, and comply with laws. Legal bases include contract performance, consent, legitimate interests (e.g., site security), and legal obligations.
Who we share your data with
We share with payment processors (Stripe/Square), analytics providers (Google), hosting (WordPress-related), and spam services. No sharing with nonaffiliated third parties for marketing without opt-out notice. For resets, IP goes in emails. Data may transfer to US/EU processors under standard protections.
How long we retain your data
Comments/metadata retained indefinitely for follow-ups. Registered users’ profiles stored until deletion request. Account data kept while active + 2 years post-inactivity for compliance/security. Payments/logs per processor policies (e.g., 7 years). Minimal retention otherwise.
What rights you have over your data
If you have an account or comments, request an export of your data or erasure (excluding admin/legal/security needs). Access, correct, restrict, object via contact form. Opt-out of non-essential sharing/cookies anytime.
Security
Data secured with HTTPS, access controls, encryption for payments. We follow best practices but no system is 100% secure.
Third-party links
Our site links to external trading resources; we’re not responsible for their privacy practices.
Children’s privacy
