Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2, 2026

Tradingtick (“we”, “our”, or “us”) operates the website tradingtick.comand related services (collectively, the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information. By using the Service you agree to the practices described here.

1. Information We Collect

Account information: When you register, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password (or OAuth token if you sign in via a third party).

Trading data: Trade logs, journal entries, playbooks, quiz answers, debrief notes, and any other content you voluntarily enter into the platform. This data is yours — we never sell or share it.

Usage data: Pages visited, features used, session duration, device type, browser, and approximate location (country/region) derived from IP address. We use this to improve the Service.

Cookies & local storage:We use a session cookie for authentication and localStorage for UI preferences (theme, language). With your explicit consent we also use third-party cookies from Google (see “Cookies & Third-Party Services” below). You can manage or withdraw cookie consent at any time via the cookie banner or from your account settings.

2. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide and operate the Service (journals, risk tools, quizzes, challenges).
  • To send transactional emails (OTP codes, weekly digests) — you may unsubscribe from digests at any time.
  • To improve product features using aggregated, anonymised analytics.
  • To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
  • To comply with applicable laws and regulations.

We do not sell your personal data to any third party. We do not use your trading data to train AI models without your explicit consent.

3. Data Sharing

We share data only in the following limited circumstances:

  • Infrastructure providers: Amazon Web Services (hosting, database, email via SES) process data on our behalf under AWS's Data Processing Addendum.
  • Google (analytics & advertising): With your consent, Google receives usage data via Google Tag Manager / GA4, and serves ads via Google AdSense. Google acts as an independent data controller for advertising purposes. See Google's Privacy Policy.
  • Legal requirements: When required by law, court order, or to protect our rights and users' safety.
  • Business transfers: If Tradingtick is acquired or merges, your data may transfer to the new entity, subject to the same privacy commitments.

4. Cookies & Third-Party Services

We use the following cookie categories:

  • Strictly necessary — always active, no consent required. Includes: __tt_session (login session, httpOnly, 30-day expiry) and tt_lang (language preference, 1-year expiry). These cookies do not track you across other sites.
  • Analytics — only set with your consent. We use Google Tag Manager to load Google Analytics 4 (GA4). GA4 sets cookies (_ga, _ga_*) to measure page views, session duration, and feature usage. Data is sent to Google and subject to Google's privacy terms. You can opt out at any time via Google Analytics Opt-out or by withdrawing consent below.
  • Advertising — only set with your consent. We use Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-2893743451101052) to show ads that help fund the free features of this app. AdSense and its partners (including DoubleClick) may set cookies to serve personalised ads based on your browsing behaviour. See How Google uses cookies in advertising. You may opt out of personalised ads via Google Ad Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out.

Consent for analytics and advertising cookies is requested via the cookie banner on your first visit and can be changed at any time from Settings → Account. Withdrawing consent prevents new cookies from being set; it does not delete cookies already placed by your browser (you can do that via your browser's cookie settings).

5. Data Retention

We retain your account and trading data for as long as your account is active. You may delete your account at any time from account settings, which permanently and immediately deletes your account and all associated data (trades, journals, settings, and session). There is no grace period or recovery option once deletion is confirmed.

6. Security

We use industry-standard measures including TLS encryption in transit, hashed passwords (bcrypt), and restricted database access. No method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure; we encourage you to use a strong, unique password.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at [email protected]. We respond to all requests within 30 days.

8. Children

The Service is not directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has registered, please contact us immediately.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated via email or a prominent notice on the platform. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance.
