Privacy Policy
How TradeTraxs collects, uses, and protects your information.
Last updated: October 1, 2026
Introduction
TradeTraxs LLC ("TradeTraxs," "we," "us," or "our") operates a trading journal and social trading platform at https://www.tradetraxs.com, including our website and native mobile applications (such as the TradeTraxs iOS app). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you use our website, applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
TradeTraxs is not a broker, does not execute trades, and does not provide investment, financial, tax, or legal advice. By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Service.
Information We Collect
We collect information in the following categories:
- Account information, email address, password (stored in hashed form by our authentication provider), username, display name, profile details, avatar, privacy settings, subscription status, and referral or affiliate identifiers you provide or that are assigned to you.
- Trading data, trades you log or import (including tickers, dates, profit and loss, direction, session, strategy notes, account labels, screenshots, and CSV import files); when you connect a supported broker or trading platform, authorized data from that connection (such as broker or platform user identifiers, trading account identifiers, orders, positions, executions or fills, transaction or trading history, balances or related account metadata, and information derived from the foregoing for journaling and analytics); dashboard preferences; and analytics derived from your trading activity within the Service.
- User-generated content, posts, clips, comments, likes, direct messages, Trade Room messages, photos and videos you upload, voice or audio messages where supported, stories, achievements, content reports, support tickets, feedback, bug reports, and any content you choose to make public or share with other users.
- Social and community data, followers, follow requests, room memberships, invites, notifications, and interaction history with other users.
- Payment and subscription information, subscription and billing metadata processed by Stripe on the web (such as customer ID, plan, payment status, and transaction records) and, on iOS, verified App Store subscription metadata (such as product ID, transaction identifiers, renewal/expiration status, and environment) synchronized to your TradeTraxs account. We do not store full payment card numbers on our servers, and the native iOS app does not collect or process payment card details.
- Push notification data, Apple Push Notification service (APNs) device tokens, optional installation identifiers used to manage token rotation on a device, platform, app version, and notification preference settings associated with your account.
- Technical and usage data, IP address, browser type, device information, log data, pages viewed, feature usage, in-app search queries and results metadata needed to operate search, performance metrics, and similar diagnostic information collected through hosting and analytics tools on the website. The native iOS app does not use the App Tracking Transparency framework, does not collect IDFA for advertising, and does not include third-party advertising or cross-app tracking SDKs; server logs may still record operational metadata when the app calls our backend.
- Communications, messages you send to us (support, feedback, legal inquiries) and related metadata.
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect the information needed to authenticate you and operate your profile. You may sign up with email and password or, where enabled, third-party sign-in such as Google or Sign in with Apple.
You control certain profile settings, including whether your profile is public or private. Private profiles limit visibility of your trading activity and posts to approved followers as described in the Service. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials confidential.
Trading Data
TradeTraxs is designed for journaling, performance tracking, and community sharing. You may enter trades manually, upload CSV files from other platforms, connect supported broker or trading platform integrations where available, attach screenshots, and choose whether individual trades or posts are public or private.
When you voluntarily connect a supported broker or trading platform (such as Tradovate or Rithmic), we may receive and process data you authorize through that integration, including broker or platform user identifiers, trading account identifiers and account information, orders, positions, executions or fills, transaction or trading history, balances or related account metadata when authorized, and data derived from the above to power TradeTraxs journaling, dashboards, calendars, analytics, reporting, and related features. We use this information to connect your broker account, import or synchronize trading activity, create and update journal records, provide product functionality, and maintain or troubleshoot the authorized integration.
Supported broker connections may use OAuth or other authorization mechanisms offered by the provider. For OAuth-based integrations (such as Tradovate), you authenticate with the broker or platform and TradeTraxs does not need or store your broker login password for that flow. For integrations that require broker login credentials you provide in the Service (such as Rithmic), we store those credentials encrypted on our servers solely to maintain the connection you authorized. To maintain authorized connections, we may also securely store authorization tokens or similar credentials server-side. Access is limited to permissions you grant through the integration. You may disconnect supported broker integrations where the Service provides that control. Disconnecting stops future synchronization but does not automatically delete trading data already imported into TradeTraxs unless you delete it through available TradeTraxs controls. Supported broker integrations are intended for journal and data synchronization; they are not intended to authorize TradeTraxs to place trades on your behalf.
Unless you share content publicly or with other users through the Service, your private trade notes and non-public trades are intended to remain visible only to you and our systems as needed to provide the Service. We use commercially reasonable safeguards, but no system is perfectly secure; you should not treat the Service as a guaranteed private vault. CSV files you upload may be stored to complete import and, if you submit them for format support, to improve import compatibility.
Important: Do not upload broker account passwords, API secrets, or other login credentials you type or paste into TradeTraxs (for example in support messages, posts, or CSV attachments). TradeTraxs does not need your broker password to operate manual journaling or CSV import, and the OAuth-based Tradovate connection does not use your Tradovate password. That is different from broker login credentials or authorization tokens stored encrypted on our servers solely to maintain an integration you authorized—we do not treat those server-side secrets as something you should paste into support messages, posts, or unrelated fields.
User-Generated Content
Content you publish, including feed posts, clips, stories, achievements, trade shares, comments, profile posts, photos, videos, voice messages, direct messages, Vault saves, and Trade Room participation, may be visible to other users according to your settings and the feature you use. Vault and private trades are intended for your personal use unless you share them through public features.
Public content may be displayed on leaderboards, explore pages, or other public areas of the Service according to product features and your settings. You may delete or edit certain content where the Service provides those controls, but copies or references may persist in backups, logs, or other users' devices for a period of time.
Analytics and Performance Monitoring
We use analytics and performance tools to understand how the Service is used and to improve reliability, including:
- Vercel Analytics, aggregated usage and traffic metrics.
- Vercel Speed Insights, performance and Core Web Vitals data.
- Server and application logs, error reporting, security monitoring, and operational diagnostics through our hosting infrastructure.
On the website, Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights load only if you choose Accept All in our cookie banner. These tools may collect pseudonymous identifiers, page views, referrers, device/browser characteristics, and performance timings. We use this data in aggregate to improve the Service, not to sell your personal trading journal as a standalone product.
Mobile Applications
When you use the TradeTraxs native iOS app, the app communicates with the same TradeTraxs backend services used by the website. Data you create or upload in the app (such as trades, posts, messages, media, and profile information) is stored in our Supabase-backed infrastructure and associated with your account.
The iOS app may request device permissions (camera, microphone, photo library, and push notifications) only in context when you use features that need them. You can deny optional permissions and continue using parts of the Service that do not require them.
TraxPro subscriptions purchased through the Apple App Store are verified server-side using Apple-provided transaction information. Apple processes payment; we store subscription entitlement metadata needed to provide TraxPro features across platforms.
AI Features and Third-Party AI Processing
Certain TraxPro AI features send data from your account to TradeTraxs servers, which may forward relevant content to third-party AI providers (including OpenAI) to generate responses. OpenAI API keys and model calls are server-side only; they are not embedded in the native app.
- Trade AI, trade fields you submit (such as symbol, direction, prices, times, notes, psychology tags, and related journal context), prior in-conversation messages, and optional trade screenshot images when available.
- Psychology Coach, structured analytics facts computed for your account (such as win rate, expectancy, pattern summaries, and sample sizes) plus your follow-up questions. Daily check-in free-text notes are not included in Psychology Coach requests.
- Screenshot import / extraction, broker screenshot images you choose to submit for structured trade extraction.
AI output may be inaccurate, incomplete, delayed, or incorrect and is for educational purposes only, not financial advice. Do not submit information you do not want processed for that purpose.
TradeTraxs does not use your content to train general-purpose machine learning models. When you use AI features, processing is performed through third-party AI providers (such as OpenAI) under their applicable API and privacy terms, in addition to this policy.
Third-Party Services
We rely on trusted service providers to operate TradeTraxs. They process data on our behalf according to their terms and our instructions. Key providers include:
- Supabase, authentication, database, storage, and backend infrastructure.
- Stripe, web subscription billing and affiliate/payout processing where applicable.
- Apple, Sign in with Apple (where enabled), App Store subscription purchase processing, and subscription management for TraxPro on iOS.
- Vercel, hosting, deployment, analytics, and speed insights (website).
- Google, optional sign-in (Google OAuth) and Google Workspace for business email and operations.
- AI service providers, including OpenAI when you use AI features described above.
- Brokers and trading platforms, such as Tradovate or Rithmic when you choose to connect an account. Those providers authenticate you and may transmit trading data to TradeTraxs according to their terms, APIs, and the permissions you grant. Listing a provider here does not imply that the provider endorses TradeTraxs.
These providers may process data in the United States and other countries. Their privacy policies govern their direct collection where applicable.
How We Use Information
We use collected information to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve the Service;
- Authenticate users and secure accounts;
- Process subscriptions, referrals, and affiliate payouts;
- Enable social features, messaging, notifications, and Trade Rooms;
- Generate AI-assisted trade analysis when you request it;
- Connect, import, and synchronize authorized broker or platform data and maintain those integrations;
- Respond to support, feedback, and legal requests;
- Detect abuse, fraud, and violations of our Terms;
- Comply with legal obligations; and
- Send service-related communications (you may opt out of non-essential marketing where offered).
Data Retention
We retain information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.
When you delete your account (where available), we delete or anonymize personal information within a reasonable period, except where retention is required by law or legitimate business needs (such as billing records, abuse prevention, or backup systems that purge on a rolling schedule).
Account deletion removes or cleans up most account-linked content, including trades, posts, clips, profile data, storage files, push notification tokens, and Apple subscription entitlement records stored for your account. Direct messages you sent in one-to-one conversations may be anonymized(sender identity removed) rather than deleted from the other participant's thread. Trade Room messages you posted are generally deletedfrom rooms when your account is deleted, which may remove those messages from other members' room history. Content reports, moderation records, and certain billing or fraud-prevention records may be retained as needed for safety, legal, or accounting obligations. Deleting your TradeTraxs account does not automatically cancel an Apple App Store subscription.
Security
We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), access controls, and authentication practices through Supabase.
No method of transmission or storage is completely secure. You use the Service at your own risk and should use a strong, unique password and protect your devices.
Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you;
- Export your data where the Service provides an export feature;
- Object to or restrict certain processing;
- Withdraw consent where processing is consent-based; and
- Lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.
You can update profile and privacy settings in the Service. Web subscribers may manage Stripe billing through the Stripe Customer Portal where available. Apple App Store subscribers manage renewal and cancellation in iOS Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Contact us to exercise privacy rights. We may verify your identity before responding.
California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA. EEA/UK users may have rights under GDPR. We aim to honor applicable legal requirements within reasonable timeframes.
Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years old to use TradeTraxs. The Service is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has provided us information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
International Users
TradeTraxs LLC operates TradeTraxs from the United States. If you access the Service from other regions, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States and other countries where we or our providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your home country.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the "Last updated" date. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or by email where appropriate. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
