3. How We Use Your Data

TradeStats uses the collected data for various purposes:

• To provide the Service: To maintain your account, save your journal, authenticating your login, and generate statistics.

• To process payments: To handle subscriptions via our payment processors.

• To communicate with you: To send administrative information (e.g., password resets, subscription confirmations) or newsletters (if opted in).

• To improve our platform: To monitor usage and detect technical issues.

4. Sharing and Disclosure of Data

We do not sell or rent your personal data. We only share data in the following specific circumstances:

4.1. Publicly Shared Trades (User-Directed)

If you explicitly choose to use the "Share Trade" or "Public Profile" features, the specific data you select (e.g., charts, entry price, notes) will be published on our site and accessible to other users or the public. This action is voluntary. If you do not wish for trade data to be public, simply do not use the sharing features; your data will remain private.

4.2. Service Providers

We employ third-party companies to facilitate our Service ("Service Providers"). specifically:

• Infrastructure & Backend (Google Firebase): We use Google Firebase (provided by Google) to host our database, authenticate users, and store content. Your data is processed and stored on Google's secure servers, which may be located outside of Switzerland.

• Payment Processors: We do not store full credit card details. Payment data is transmitted directly to our payment processors (e.g., Stripe, PayPal), whose use of your personal information is governed by their own Privacy Policy.

• Analytics: We use third-party web analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics / Firebase Analytics) to track website traffic and usage patterns. These tools use cookies and anonymous identifiers to collect usage data.

4.3. Legal Requirements

We may disclose your Personal Data if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency in Switzerland).

5. Data Security

The security of your data is important to us.

• Encryption: We use SSL/TLS encryption to protect data transmitted between your browser and our servers.

• Storage: Sensitive data is stored in secured databases provided by Google Firebase.

• Disclaimer: Remember that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your Personal Data, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

6. International Data Transfer

TradeStats is based in Switzerland. However, because we use Google Firebase and other third-party services, your information may be transferred to — and maintained on — computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction (such as the United States or the European Union) where the data protection laws may differ than those from your jurisdiction. By using the Service, you consent to this transfer. We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

Depending on your location (including users in the EU and Switzerland), you have the following rights:

• Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

• Correction: You can request that we correct inaccurate data.

• Deletion: You can request that we delete your account and all associated data ("Right to be Forgotten").

• Opt-Out: You can unsubscribe from marketing emails at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link.

To exercise these rights, please contact us at info@trade-stats.com.

8. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track the activity on our Service and hold certain information (e.g., to keep you logged in). You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies, but some parts of our Service (like logging in) may not function properly without them.
