This Privacy Policy explains what information Tradecraft ("the App", "we", "us") collects, how we use and
share it, how long we keep it, and what choices you have. Tradecraft is a virtual stock-trading simulation
game. It does not execute real trades, hold real money, or provide financial advice.
Information We Collect
All of the following is linked to your account. We collect only what is needed to run the App.
- Contact info: your email address, if you sign up with email or if Apple or Google shares
it when you use Sign in with Apple or Google. Apple's "Hide My Email" relay addresses are supported.
- Identifiers: your username, a unique account ID, and your sign-in provider's user
identifier. If you enable optional email verification codes at login, we email a one-time code to your
address (via Resend) and store a hashed copy until it expires.
- Gameplay and user content: your virtual portfolio, trade history, XP and level,
TradeBucks and Fun Coupons balances, achievements, friends, leaderboard standing, settings, and the messages
you send to the in-app AI advisor.
- Purchases: records that you bought a subscription or virtual currency, so we can unlock
what you paid for. Payments are processed by Apple (iOS) or Stripe (web). We never see or store your card
number.
- Diagnostics: basic technical data such as IP address (used for rate limiting and abuse
prevention) and server error logs. We do not use this to identify you for any other purpose.
We do not collect your precise or coarse location, contacts, photos, health data, or
browsing history, and we do not access your device's advertising identifier.
How We Use Information
- To create and secure your account and sign you in.
- To run the App: sync your progress across devices, show leaderboards and friend features, and generate AI
responses.
- To process purchases, restore purchases, and prevent fraud.
- To keep the service reliable, secure, and free of abuse, and to respond to support requests.
Tracking
We do not track you. We do not sell your personal information, we do not share it with data brokers, we do
not run third-party advertising, and we do not combine your data with data from other companies' apps or
websites for advertising purposes.
Who We Share Information With
We share data only with service providers who process it on our behalf to operate the App:
- Google Firebase: authentication and database storage for your account and game data.
- Apple and Google: if you choose Sign in with Apple or Google.
- Apple In-App Purchase, RevenueCat, and Stripe: subscription and purchase processing and
entitlement management.
- AI providers: the text of messages you send to the AI advisor, and the market context
needed to answer, is sent to third-party AI model providers to generate a reply. Do not enter sensitive
personal information in the chat. We do not send your email or account identifiers with these requests.
- Market data providers: stock and crypto price, chart, and news requests are made by our
servers and do not include your personal information.
- Resend: delivers verification-code emails.
- Vercel: hosts our website and API.
Other players can see your username, level, and leaderboard standing, and, if you add friends, limited
profile information you choose to make visible. We may also disclose information if required by law or to
protect the rights, safety, or security of our users or the App.
Data Retention
We keep your account and game data for as long as your account is active. When you delete your account, we
delete your profile, game data, and username reservation and remove your sign-in record. Limited records may
remain where we are required to keep them (for example, payment records held by Apple or Stripe under their own
policies) or in routine backups, which are overwritten on a rolling basis. Server logs are kept only for a
short period.
Your Choices and Rights
- Delete your account: go to Settings → Delete Account in the App. This
permanently removes your account and associated data. You can also email us to request deletion.
- Access and correction: you can view and edit most of your information in the App. To
request a copy of your data or a correction, email us.
- Revoke consent: you can stop sharing data with Apple or Google by removing Tradecraft in
your Apple ID or Google account settings, and you can stop using the AI advisor at any time.
- Subscriptions: manage or cancel in your Apple ID subscription settings (iOS) or through
the Stripe customer portal (web). Deleting your account does not automatically cancel an Apple subscription.
Depending on where you live (for example the EU/UK under GDPR or California under CCPA/CPRA), you may have
additional rights to access, correct, delete, port, or object to the processing of your personal data. Contact
us to exercise them and we will respond within the time required by law.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit, access to our databases is restricted by authentication and security rules,
and sign-in tokens are stored in your device's secure storage. No method of transmission or storage is
perfectly secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
Our service providers may process data in the United States and other countries. By using the App you
understand your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own.
Children
Tradecraft is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from children
under 13. If you believe a child has given us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date above
and, where appropriate, by notice in the App.
