Privacy Policy

Last updated: 27 July 2026

This policy describes how Smile FX Traders ("we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your data.

What we collect

Account details you provide at signup (name, email, phone), your trade journal entries, community posts, and general usage data (pages visited, features used) collected via Vercel Analytics once you've accepted analytics cookies. We do not collect payment card details directly. Mobile money and card payments are processed by Lenco, our payment partner.

How we use it

To run your account (authentication, journal, alerts, notifications), to send transactional and billing emails via Resend, to improve the product based on aggregate usage patterns, and to provide AI-generated trade reviews (Gavo) and market commentary. Trade data sent to our AI provider, Anthropic, is used only to generate that review, not to train models.

Third parties

Supabase (authentication and database hosting), Resend (transactional email), Lenco (payment processing), Anthropic (AI trade review), Twelve Data and Finnhub (market price and economic calendar data), and Vercel Analytics (cookieless-by-default usage analytics, gated behind your cookie consent choice). None of these partners receive more of your data than is necessary to provide their part of the service.

Cookies

We set a strictly necessary session cookie via Supabase Auth so you stay logged in. The platform cannot function without it. With your consent, given through the cookie banner, we also enable a cookie tied to anonymous analytics. You can change your choice at any time by clearing the cc_consent cookie and reloading the page.

Data retention

We keep your account and journal data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, your personal data is removed from our production database within 30 days, except where we're required to retain billing records for tax/legal purposes.

Your rights

You can request a copy of your data, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete your account entirely by contacting us. Account and privacy preferences can also be managed directly from Settings once logged in.
