Privacy Policy
1. Who this applies to
This Privacy Policy is incorporated by reference into the TradingAgents Terms of Service. It applies to the personal data we process when you create an account, sign in, use the app to run an analysis, manage a portfolio, or otherwise interact with TradingAgents.
TradingAgents is an AI research tool. It is not a broker, and — as of this policy — it does not place trades or hold funds on your behalf. Wallet balances described below fund usage of the app's analysis features, not brokerage activity.
2. What we collect
To create an account and sign in, we require:
- Phone number or email address — used to send you a one-time sign-in code, and as your account identifier.
- If you sign in with Google or Apple (once available) — the email address and account identifier those providers share with us.
To operate your account, we also process:
- Wallet balance and top-up history — so we can charge for analyses correctly and show you your balance.
- A device identifier — generated on your device, used to link an anonymous wallet balance to your account the first time you sign in, so a balance built up before login isn't lost.
- Language preference — which of the app's supported languages you've selected.
- Basic usage data — which features you use and how often (for example, how many analyses you run), used for billing and to understand how the product is used.
We do not currently link the specific tickers you analyze, or the verdicts you receive, to your account identity in our stored records — that data is processed to generate your results but is not stored as part of your personal profile today. If that changes, we will update this policy first.
Your watchlist and portfolio holdings are stored locally on your device, not on our servers. If you use the portfolio optimizer, your holdings are sent to our servers to perform that one calculation and are not retained afterward.
We do not ask for or store your bank account, brokerage credentials, or full payment card number. Payment details, once real payments are enabled, are handled directly by Apple, Google, or our payment processor — see Section 4.
3. Why we collect it
- To verify it's really you signing in, using a one-time code sent to your phone or email.
- To operate your wallet — showing your balance, charging for analyses, and recording top-ups.
- To provide support — for example, helping you recover access to your account.
- To send you important account or service messages. We do not currently send marketing email; if that changes, it will be opt-out, clearly labeled, and never required.
- In aggregated, de-identified form, to understand overall usage and improve the product. Aggregated data cannot be used to identify you individually.
4. Who we share data with
We don't sell your personal data. We share it only where necessary to operate the service:
| Who | What they receive | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Email/SMS delivery provider | Your email address or phone number | To deliver your one-time sign-in code |
| AI model provider | The ticker and market context needed to run an analysis | To generate the analysis — this does not include your name, email, or account identity |
| Market data providers (e.g. Yahoo Finance, TradingView) | Nothing of yours — these are one-way price/chart data pulls | To show live quotes and charts. TradingView's chart widget runs in your device and is subject to TradingView's own privacy policy |
| Apple / Google / payment processor | Your payment details, handled entirely by them | To process real wallet top-ups, once enabled. We never see or store your card details |
| Google or Apple (if you use social sign-in) | An authentication token | To verify your identity for sign-in |
We may also disclose data if required by law, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of TradingAgents or our users.
5. How we protect your data
- Sign-in codes are never stored in plain text — they're hashed before being saved, and expire after five minutes.
- Access to your account is controlled by a signed session token, not a password we ask you to create or remember.
- Internal access to personal data is limited to what's needed to operate and support the service.
- We do not store payment card numbers on our own servers.
6. How long we keep it
We keep account data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward in case you return or as required for legitimate business, security, or legal purposes. You can request deletion at any time — see Section 8.
7. Your choices
- You can sign out of your account at any time from the Agents tab.
- You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- You can ask us to correct inaccurate data.
- You can ask us to delete your account and associated personal data, subject to what we're legally required to retain.
- You can withdraw consent for any optional processing at any time.
We aim to honor these rights regardless of where you're located, in line with applicable data protection law in your jurisdiction.
