Privacy

What we collect, and what we don't

Short version: the site works without an account. Your lessons, scores, plans and practice trades are stored only in your own browser. If you join the free school, we keep the details you type in the signup form so we can send class dates and weekly insights. We never sell or rent your information, and we never ask for payment details, deposits, crypto or logins.

1. When you join the school (signup form)

You type: your name, email address, the topics you're interested in, your experience level (optional), and your consent: "Email me class dates and weekly insights. Unsubscribe anytime."
Added automatically: which form you used (for example the home page or the end of an insight brief), the page you were on, the date and time, and where you first came from: the referring website (if your browser shares it), the first page you landed on, and any campaign tags in the link you followed (utm_source, utm_medium, utm_campaign).
Why: to email you class dates and weekly insights, to group classes by experience level and interest, and to understand which links bring people in (so we can do more of what helps).
Where it goes: if a mailing-list service is connected, your details are sent to that service, which stores them for us under its own privacy policy. If none is connected, your details stay only in your browser and nobody receives them; the form tells you which mode it's in.
Unsubscribing: every email includes an unsubscribe link. You can also ask us to delete your details at any time using the contact above.

2. Stored only in your browser

Lesson progress, quiz scores, XP and streaks, saved calculator results, goals, practice trades, theme choice and the first-visit link information above are saved in your browser's local storage on your device. They are not sent to us. You can export or delete them from My progress ("Clear all data"), or by clearing your browser's site data.

3. Third-party services on the site

TradingView widgets (charts, quotes, economic calendar, top stories) load from TradingView's servers. TradingView may receive your IP address and set cookies under its privacy policy.
CoinGecko provides crypto prices. Your browser requests prices directly from CoinGecko's public API, so CoinGecko can see your IP address (its privacy policy).
Mailing-list provider (once connected): receives the signup details described in section 1.
Web host: like any website, the hosting provider may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and pages requested) for security and reliability.
Fonts and icons are served from this site itself. The site does not include advertising or analytics trackers by default.

4. What we will never do

Sell, rent or trade your personal information.
Ask for bank details, card numbers, deposits, crypto, brokerage logins or passwords.
Send paid trading signals or "exclusive" investment offers.

5. Children

The school is intended for adults. Please don't sign up if you are under 16.

Education only. Nothing on this site is financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Full disclaimer.
