Information We Collect

We collect personal information you provide and automatically collect data about how you use our service. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Account Information: Your name, email address, password and other profile details.
• Trading & Financial Data: Details of your trades, portfolios, performance metrics and any capital or financial information you record in the journal. (Some of this may be classified as “sensitive personal data” under law, such as financial details.)
• Payment Information: If you subscribe, we collect billing details (billing address, transaction records) but do not store your full payment card details on our servers (we use secure third-party processors).
• Device and Usage Data: IP address, device type, browser type, OS, log-in times, pages visited and other analytics data. We use cookies and similar technologies to distinguish you from other users, improve the platform and remember your preferences.
• Support and Communications: If you contact support or participate in surveys, we collect your correspondence and responses.

How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data only for the purposes described at the time of collection or as described here. Common uses include:

• Providing and maintaining the platform (e.g. enabling your login, storing your journal entries, synchronizing your data across devices).
• Processing transactions and managing your subscription (billing, payment confirmation, invoicing).
• Communicating with you (sending account notifications, service announcements, updates and responses to your inquiries).
• Improving and personalizing the service (analyzing usage patterns, preventing fraud, debugging technical issues, and tailoring features).
• Legal compliance and protection (e.g. enforcing our Terms, complying with legal obligations, and protecting our rights).

We adhere to the notice and purpose requirements of the DPDP Act. We will inform you of the purposes for processing when we request your consent or collect your data, and we will process your data only for those purposes.

Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell or rent your personal data to third parties. We may share data only as necessary to operate the service and comply with the law. For example, we use third-party service providers (such as payment processors, hosting providers, and analytics services) to perform functions on our behalf. These providers have access only to data needed to perform their functions and are contractually obligated to keep it secure. We may also disclose data if required by law or to protect our rights. In any case, we implement reasonable security practices and procedures to safeguard your data and limit access to authorized personnel only.

Data Security

We employ technical and organizational measures to protect your data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure or destruction. Examples include encryption of data in transit, firewalls, and regular security reviews. Our practices meet the “reasonable security practices and procedures” standard required under Section 43A of the Information Technology Act, 2000.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as needed to provide the service and fulfill the purposes for which it was collected. Once data is no longer required, we will securely delete or anonymize it. Under the DPDP Act, we must cease retaining your personal data as soon as it is reasonable to assume that the purpose has been fulfilled, or if you withdraw consent or request erasure.

Your Rights

You have rights under Indian law regarding your personal data. Subject to applicable law, you may:

• Access and Correction: Request a copy of your personal data and ask us to correct or update it.
• Withdrawal of Consent: Revoke your consent at any time for future processing. (Withdrawing consent will not invalidate processing that occurred before you withdrew consent.)
• Erasure: Request deletion of your data (also known as the “right to be forgotten”). We will comply with such requests unless retaining the data is necessary for legal compliance or other legitimate reasons.
• Object or Restrict Processing: Where processing is based on consent (or our legitimate interests), you may object to or request restriction of certain processing activities.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us data without consent, please contact us; we will promptly delete such data. (Under DPDP rules, special care and parental consent are required for processing children’s data.)

Contact Information

We have appointed a contact person to address any questions or concerns about our data practices. As required by law, we publish the contact details of our Data Protection Officer (or designated representative) on our website. You may also email us at privacy@tradelikepro.com for privacy-related inquiries or to exercise your rights.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time (for example, when legal requirements change). We will notify you of material changes by posting the new policy on our site and updating the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the service after such updates indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
