Privacy Policy

Effective date: October 11, 2026

The short version: we collect only what the journal needs to work: your Google sign-in details and the trading data you enter. We don't sell it, we don't show ads, and we don't use tracking or analytics tools. Other users can't see your data. As the operator, we can technically access it, and we only do so to run the service or help you.

This policy explains how Pipsity TJ ("Pipsity TJ", "we", "us") handles information when you use the trading journal at tradingjournal.pipsity.com, including the version installed on your home screen (the "Service").

1. Information we collect

Account information (from Google sign-in)

You sign in with your Google account. We receive and store your name, email address and a unique account ID from Google. Your profile picture is shown in the app directly from Google, and we don't store it. We never see or store your Google password.

Trading data you enter

Trades: symbol, direction, prices, size, stop loss, take profit, P&L, fees, strategy, notes, tags and mood/psychology entries
Trading accounts you create (name, currency, prop-firm limits) and deposits/withdrawals you record
Daily journal entries (plans and reviews)
Chart screenshots you attach to trades. These are compressed in your browser before upload

We do not ask for or store broker logins, account passwords or any payment card details.

Imported statements

When you import a MetaTrader 4/5 statement, the file is read inside your browser. Only the trades and transactions you choose to import are saved. The statement file itself is not uploaded.

AI day review (optional)

The AI day review in the Journal tab runs only when you press its button. When you do, the details of that day's trades (symbol, direction, size, result, stop-loss use, strategy, mood tags and notes) and your plan, review and discipline score for that day are sent to Google's Gemini model to write the review. Nothing is sent automatically. The review it returns is saved with that day's journal entry, like the rest of your data.

License and trial information

We store when your free trial started, until when you have access, and which license key you redeemed, so the Service can tell whether you have an active trial or license.

Information stored on your device

The app saves some settings in your browser's local storage, such as your theme, selected account, calculator inputs and cached exchange rates. It also keeps an offline copy of your journal so it works without a connection. This stays on your device. You can remove it by signing out or clearing your browser data.

Technical information

Like any website, the servers that host the Service (Google and Cloudflare) receive technical details such as your IP address and browser type when your device connects. They may keep these in their logs for security and reliability. We don't use these details to build a profile of you.

2. How we use your information

To provide the journal: storing your trades, calculating statistics and showing your screenshots
To manage your free trial and license
To provide support when you contact us
To keep the Service secure and prevent abuse (for example, enforcing upload limits)

We do not sell your data, use it for advertising, or share it with data brokers.

3. Who can see your data

You. Only your signed-in account can read and change your journal through the app.
Other users cannot. Database security rules and our image server block access to anyone else's data.
The operator (us). As the administrators of the Service, we have technical access to the stored data, including screenshots. We only access it to run the Service, fix problems, manage licenses, respond to your requests, or when the law requires it.

4. Service providers

We use trusted providers to run the Service. They process data on our behalf, or provide features you use:

Google Firebase (Google LLC): sign-in, database and website hosting. Stores your account details and trading data.
Google Gemini (Google LLC, via Firebase AI Logic): writes the optional AI day review. It receives the day's trades and notes only when you press the review button, as described in section 1. We don't send anything else to it. Google handles this data under its own terms and privacy policy.
Cloudflare (Cloudflare, Inc.): stores chart screenshots (R2 storage) and runs the server that checks access to them.
TradingView: the economic calendar in the Tools tab is a TradingView widget loaded from their servers. TradingView may receive your IP address and set its own cookies, under its own privacy policy.
Frankfurter (public exchange-rate API): the app fetches currency rates from it. No personal data is sent, but the request comes from your device.
Telegram: if you contact support or buy a license on Telegram, that conversation is handled by Telegram under its own privacy policy.

These providers may store data in data centers in different countries. They use their own security measures and are bound by their own terms and privacy policies.

5. Cookies and tracking

We don't use advertising or analytics cookies. The app uses browser storage only for the purposes described in section 1, such as keeping you signed in and remembering your settings. Third-party widgets, such as TradingView, may set their own cookies.

6. How long we keep your data

We keep your journal for as long as your account exists, including after your trial or license ends. That way your data is still there if you come back, and you can always export it. If you ask us to delete your account, we delete your account and journal data, including screenshots, within 30 days. Copies may remain in provider backups or logs for a limited time before they are overwritten.

7. Your rights and choices

Access and export: you can view all your data in the app and export your trades to CSV at any time.
Correction: you can edit or delete individual trades, transactions, journal entries and screenshots yourself.
Deletion: to delete your whole account, contact us (see below) from the Telegram account you used to buy your license, or tell us the email you sign in with.
Depending on where you live, you may have more rights under local law, such as the right to object to processing or to file a complaint with a data protection authority. Contact us and we'll help.

8. Security

Data is sent over encrypted connections (HTTPS). Access to your data is restricted by sign-in checks on the server, not just in the app. Our image storage is private and not publicly reachable. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security. We recommend protecting your Google account with two-step verification.

9. Children

The Service is meant for adults interested in trading. It is not intended for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we'll delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the Service changes. When we do, we'll change the effective date at the top. For significant changes, we'll also let you know in the app. If you keep using the Service after an update, you accept the new policy.
