This policy applies to data we collect when you visit the site, create an account, use Demo, subscribe, or contact us via WhatsApp.
By using the Service or submitting personal data, you accept this policy. If you disagree, stop using the Service and request account deletion via WhatsApp.
2. Policy updates
We may update this policy by posting a new version on the site. Please review it periodically. Continued use after an update means you accept the current version.
Content last updated for the Platform: July 2026. Questions: WhatsApp.
3. Data we collect
Account data: name, email, phone, preferred language, and profile image if provided.
Verification and security: OTP requests and codes (stored hashed), login logs, and IP address when needed to protect accounts.
Usage data: Demo activity (virtual balance, simulated trades), lesson views, and subscription level (free / Standard / VIP).
Payment data: when you subscribe, a third-party payment processor handles card or payment-method details; we do not store full card numbers on our servers.

We may share necessary data with technical processors acting for us (hosting, OTP/email, payments) under appropriate controls.
We may disclose data if required by law, court order, or to protect the Platform and users.
We do not share your data with brokers to execute real orders during the current Demo stage.
6. Retention and security
We retain data while your account is active or as required for legal and subscription accounting reasons.
We use hashed passwords, hashed OTPs, and server-side access controls. No system is 100% secure; report suspected breaches via WhatsApp immediately.
