Account details you provide (name, email, and a photo if you add one), anything you post in the community, your activity in the app (paper investments, course progress, quiz results), and — for traders who link a brokerage — read-only trading data (fills, balances, deposits and withdrawals, and the account holder's name as the broker holds it) supplied by the broker with the trader's explicit authorization. If you ask us to remember a device for sign-in, we store a random token for that device — never a hardware identifier.
You may optionally show a country on your community profile, on any pool you run, or on both. Nothing is shown until you add it, and you pick it from a list rather than typing it — so we hold a country and nothing finer. We do not collect a city, a street address, a postcode or coordinates, we do not ask your device where it is, and there is no longer any way for you to enter one even if you wanted to. These are separate settings that never affect each other. Your community profile has one country and you choose who sees it: everyone signed in, your accepted friends only, or nobody. Each pool you run has its own, added to that pool and to nothing else — adding it is what publishes it, and anyone who can see the pool then sees the country, so remove it if you would rather it were not there. Members who are not entitled to see something are not sent it at all, and a country cannot be found by searching. One thing worth knowing if you set your profile to friends only: if you have also turned on accepting every friend request automatically, then anyone who asks becomes a friend, and your country is effectively public. You can change or remove any of this at any time in Community → Profile or on the pool itself, and removing a friend removes their access immediately. If you set a city before this changed, it was discarded rather than converted.
We never receive your brokerage password. Broker connections use the broker's own login page and can be revoked by you at any time from your brokerage account. We do not sell personal data to anyone.
To operate the app: computing confirmed track records, showing your portfolio and progress, improving the product, and responding to support requests. Aggregated, de-identified statistics (for example, average quiz scores) may be used to improve the course.
Data is shared only with the service providers needed to run the app — hosting and email delivery — under contract, and where required by law or regulation. We use no advertising or analytics services and there is no tracking in this app. Three specifics worth naming. If you choose Sign in with Apple or Sign in with Google, that provider runs the sign-in and therefore learns that you authenticated with us; we receive only the signed token they hand back, and never your password with them. Community posts are checked before they appear by an automated filter we run ourselves, on our own servers — no post is sent to a third party to be assessed. And course videos are embedded from YouTube in its privacy-enhanced mode (youtube-nocookie.com), which does not set tracking cookies when a lesson page loads. Playing a video still contacts Google, and Google's own terms apply to that. A trader's displayed record shows performance statistics only — never their individual trades.
You can delete your account at any time in Account → Delete account. Deletion removes your account, profile, photos, posts, paper history and course progress, and the read-only trading data we captured from any brokerage you had connected — the fills and balance snapshots — provided no other member still has that same brokerage login connected, in which case theirs is untouched. Anything you have backed is withdrawn and returned to your paper balance; if you run a pool that others have backed, the pool is closed and removed, every backer is refunded and told why, and the pool's ledger is kept in closed form so backers can still see what happened to what they put in. Replies other members wrote stay, with your post shown as removed, so their conversations remain readable. Reports other members filed about your conduct are kept. Records we must keep for legal or audit reasons are retained only as required.
