Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 June 2026

This policy explains how TradingSocial collects, uses, discloses and protects your personal information. We handle personal information in accordance with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

Information we collect

• Account & sign-in: your email address and password (managed by our authentication provider). If you sign in with Google, we receive your name and profile photo.
• Profile: username, display name, avatar, bio, trading goals and the markets you select.
• Trading journal: the trades you log — instrument, entries and exits, profit/loss, risk multiples, notes, and any screenshots you upload.
• Social activity: posts, comments, likes and the accounts you follow.
• Learning: lessons you complete and your quiz answers.
• Support: feedback and messages you send us.
• Technical: usage and log data, device/browser information, cookies and analytics data.

How we use your information

We use your information to operate and provide the platform (including leaderboards and social features), authenticate you, respond to support requests, keep the service secure, and improve our features.

Disclosure and service providers

We do not sell your personal information. We share it with service providers who help us run TradingSocial, including Vercel (website hosting), Supabase (database, authentication and file storage) and Google (sign-in and analytics). Some of these providers may store data outside Australia; where that occurs we take reasonable steps to ensure your information is handled consistently with the APPs.

Cookies and analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies, including Google Analytics, to understand how the site is used and to improve it. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Security

We take reasonable steps to protect your personal information from misuse, loss and unauthorised access. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Access, correction and complaints

You may request access to, or correction of, the personal information we hold about you by contacting us. If you have a privacy complaint, contact us first and we will respond. If you are not satisfied, you may contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) at oaic.gov.au.

Retention and deletion

We keep your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the service and meet legal obligations. You can request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us.

Children

TradingSocial is not directed at people under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their personal information.
