1. Who We Are

Winners Journal ("we", "us", "our") is a trading journal platform built and operated by the Winners Journal team. Our service is available at winners-journal.com.

If you have any questions about this policy, you can reach us through our website.

2. What Data We Collect

We collect only what is necessary to provide the service:

• Account data: Name, email address, and password (securely encrypted — we never see your plaintext password).
• Trading data: Trade records you import or enter manually, including pairs, P&L, dates, notes, tags, and setups.
• Profile data: Optional settings you provide such as account size, risk per trade, and location.
• Usage data: Basic logs to identify errors and improve the platform. We do not use third-party analytics trackers.

3. How We Use Your Data

• To provide, operate, and improve the trading journal service.
• To send account-related emails (confirmation, password reset).
• To respond to your support requests.
• To calculate your trading statistics and display your journal.

We do not use your data for advertising. We do not sell your data to any third party. We do not share your trading data with anyone.

4. Data Storage and Security

Your data is stored on secure, industry-standard cloud infrastructure. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest. Strict per-account access controls are enforced on every database table — your data is only accessible by your own account.

Payments are made in cryptocurrency and processed by our third-party payment providers. We never handle or store card details or wallet credentials.

5. Cookies and Local Storage

We use browser localStorage to store your theme preference (dark/light) and session tokens that keep you signed in. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking cookies. We do not use Google Analytics or similar tracking services.

6. Data Retention

Your data is retained for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, all associated data (trades, notes, tags, rules) is permanently deleted within 30 days. You can request deletion at any time by emailing us.

7. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access all data we hold about you (export available from your account).
• Correct inaccurate data.
• Delete your account and all associated data.
• Object to processing (by deleting your account).

To exercise any right, contact us through our website.

8. Third-Party Services

We rely on a small number of trusted third-party providers for hosting, database, authentication, and payment processing. These providers process only the data necessary to deliver the Service and are bound by their own data-protection obligations. We do not sell or share your trading data with any third party.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the service evolves. We will notify you of significant changes by email. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
