TradeVow: Privacy Policy

Effective date: July 6, 2026
Last updated: November 3, 2026

TradeVow ("TradeVow," "we," "us," or "our") provides a trading-discipline tracking app that lets you define your own trading rules, check in once per trading day on whether you followed them, record your daily profit and loss and notes, and build a streak. This Privacy Policy explains what data the app collects, how and why we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the choices and rights you have, including how to withdraw consent and delete your data.

This policy applies to the TradeVow mobile app and the associated website at https://tradevow.app. If you do not agree with this policy, please do not use the app.

1. Who is responsible for your data

TradeVow is the controller of the personal data described below.

Mailing address: 9169 W State St #164, Garden City, ID 83714, USA

If you have any question about this policy or wish to exercise a privacy right, contact us at the address above and we will respond within a reasonable time and in accordance with applicable law.

2. What data we collect, how we collect it, and how we use it

We collect data needed to operate, secure, and improve the core features of the app. We do not sell your personal data, we do not use it for advertising, and we do not use it to track you across other companies' apps or websites.

2.1 Account data

2.2 Discipline and trading-journal data you create

This is the content you enter to use the app. All of it is tied to your account and is private to you:

• Groups and accounts you create (names/labels only).
• Rules you define for each group.
• Daily check-ins: whether you followed your rules on a given day and which specific rules, if any, were broken.
• Profit and loss (P&L) amounts and journal notes you optionally record for a group on a given day.
• Streaks, best streaks, and badges derived from your check-ins.
• Account labels and P&L fresh starts: an optional label for the accounts a group trades, and the date and name you keep when you start a fresh P&L total.
• Commitments and save times: whether you committed to your rules before trading each day, and when each day's check-in was first saved. We keep these until you delete your account, even if you later remove that check-in, so your check-in streak stays accurate.
• Badges you earn, and the private line you may write on a badge (never shared unless you share the card yourself).
• Days off and time away you mark.
• Your sign-up answers: your plan, rules, and vow card words are saved as you go, so an unfinished setup can pick up where you left it. This saved copy is cleared when setup finishes.

We use this data to provide the app's features to you: displaying your rules and streaks, computing your discipline history, and letting you review and export your own records. Section 2.4 lists the limited signals about your activity that also go to analytics.

2.3 Subscription and purchase data

If you purchase a subscription, the transaction is processed by Apple through the App Store. We do not receive or store your payment card details. We use RevenueCat to manage subscription entitlements; RevenueCat receives your TradeVow account identifier and subscription/receipt information from Apple so that your subscription is recognized across your devices. We use this data to determine whether your subscription is active, to provide the features you paid for, and to understand how subscriptions perform. Purchase and restore outcomes, and subscription events RevenueCat sends such as a trial starting, are also recorded in PostHog (see Section 2.4).

2.3a Cancellation feedback

If you tell us why you are canceling, we save the reason you tap and any words you type, tied to your account. We keep cancellation feedback while your TradeVow account exists. Deleting your account deletes this feedback. The reason you tap is also recorded in PostHog; the words you type are not.

2.3b Support messages

If you email us, we receive your email address, your message, and any technical details you leave in it (app version, device model, and operating system). Support messages stay in our support inbox, which is hosted by Google, and are not deleted automatically when you delete your account. Ask us and we will delete them.

2.4 Usage and device data

To understand how the app is used and to improve it, we collect limited product-usage and technical data using PostHog, a third-party product-analytics provider that processes this data for us on its cloud in the United States. This includes:

• Feature and screen usage: which screens you view and which features you use.
• Onboarding funnel events: which onboarding steps you reach and complete, so we can see where users get stuck and improve the flow.
• Your sign-up answers: the market and account types you choose, the problems and goals you pick, the range you pick for evaluation fees, how many accounts you run, how you heard about us, your usual finish time, and the days you trade. These are sent as short codes, ranges, or counts. A goal you write yourself is recorded only as "own," never its words.
• Check-in and feature actions: for example, whether you answered Yes or No, how many rules you have and how many you marked broken, whether you committed that day, which library rules you add (as a short code), the badges you open or share, reminder settings, days off, purchases, and restores.
• Basic technical data: app version, operating system version, and device model, sent as context with those events, and how long a badge video takes to make.

These events are linked to your account so we can understand how real users progress and improve the app. They are configured to exclude what you type: no journal notes, no profit-and-loss amounts, no rule text, and no email or name. PostHog also creates a random identifier for your app install, so events from before you sign in can be connected to your account. We remove your phone's language and time zone from these events, and we never send your city or the time zone your day follows. We have disabled location (GeoIP) lookups, so no location is derived from them. We use PostHog only as our analytics processor. We do not use this data for advertising, we do not use advertising identifiers, and we do not track you across other companies' apps or websites. Because the app does not track you in this way, it does not use the App Tracking Transparency framework.

2.5 Notifications and widgets

Daily reminders are scheduled locally on your device. We do not collect or store push-notification tokens, and reminders are not sent from our servers. Your widgets, Lock Screen, and Dynamic Island show a copy of your rules, Day Streak, and today's check-in that is kept on your device only.

2.6 We do not collect

• No advertising identifiers (IDFA) and no cross-app or cross-site tracking.
• No contacts, precise location, health data, or microphone or camera data. A photo or video you pick for a badge card or your Lock Screen picture is used on your device only and is never uploaded. If you share a finished card, it goes where you send it.
• No advertising networks and no behavioral ad profiling. Our only analytics provider is PostHog, described in Section 2.4, and it is not used for advertising.

3. Legal bases for processing (EEA/UK users)

Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process your data on these bases:

• Performance of a contract: to provide the app and its features to you (account, check-ins, streaks, subscriptions).
• Consent: for optional features such as device notifications; you may withdraw consent at any time (see Section 7).
• Legitimate interests: to keep the service secure, prevent abuse, and maintain and improve the app, balanced against your rights.
• Legal obligation: where we must retain or disclose data to comply with the law.

4. How we share data, and with whom

We share data only with the service providers below, each of which acts on our behalf to run the app. We require each of these third parties, by contract, to protect your data to a standard at least equal to the protections described in this policy and required by applicable law, and to use it only to provide services to us. We do not authorize them to sell your data or use it for their own advertising.

Google API Services User Data Policy. TradeVow's use and transfer of information received from Google APIs adheres to the Google API Services User Data Policy, including the Limited Use requirements.

We may also disclose data if required by law, to comply with a valid legal process, to protect the rights, safety, or property of TradeVow or others, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets (in which case we will require the recipient to honor this policy).

Your data may be processed on servers located outside your country. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards (such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses) for international transfers.

5. How long we keep your data (retention)

• We keep your account data and the discipline/journal data you create for as long as your account remains active, so the app can show your history and streaks.
• When you delete your account (see Section 6), all of your data is permanently deleted from our database. Deleting your account removes your authentication record and, by automatic cascade, every group, account, rule, check-in, broken-rule record, P&L entry, journal note, badge, day setting, cancellation feedback record, and profile row associated with you. We also send a deletion request to PostHog to erase your analytics events.
• Backups and logs held by our service providers may persist for a limited period before being overwritten in the ordinary course, after which they are permanently removed.
• Subscription and transaction records held by Apple and RevenueCat are retained by them according to their own policies and applicable financial-record laws.

6. Deleting your data

You can permanently delete your account and all associated data from within the app at any time:

Settings → Delete account

You can also use the Delete account link at the bottom of the subscription screen.

This action is irreversible. It immediately and permanently deletes your account and all data described in Section 2 from our systems, except support messages (see Section 2.3b). If you are unable to use the in-app option, contact us at tradevowtrading@gmail.com and we will delete your account on your behalf after verifying your identity.

Deleting your account does not, by itself, cancel an active App Store subscription. Manage or cancel subscriptions in Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions on your device.

7. Your choices and how to withdraw consent

• Notifications: Turn daily reminders on or off inside the app, or disable notifications for TradeVow entirely in your device's system settings at any time.
• Google Sign-In: You can revoke TradeVow's access to your Google account at any time from your Google Account security settings. This does not delete data already stored in your TradeVow account.
• Sign in with Apple: You can stop using your Apple Account with TradeVow at any time in Settings → Apple Account → Sign-In & Security → Sign in with Apple. Deleting your TradeVow account does not do this for you, and changing this setting does not delete data already stored in your TradeVow account.
• Access, correction, and export: You can view and edit your data directly in the app, and export your records from within the app.
• Withdraw consent / object / restrict: You may withdraw any consent, or ask us to restrict or stop certain processing, by contacting us. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out.

Paid features are not conditioned on granting access to optional data such as notifications.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• correct inaccurate data;
• delete your data ("right to erasure");
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• receive a copy of your data in a portable format; and
• lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact tradevowtrading@gmail.com. We will not discriminate against you for exercising a privacy right.

9. Security

We use appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS), hashed passwords, and row-level access controls that restrict each user's data to that user's authenticated account. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we work to protect your information and to keep these measures up to date.

10. Children's privacy

TradeVow is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction). If you believe a child has provided us personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and, where appropriate, notify you within the app. Your continued use of TradeVow after an update means you accept the revised policy.
