Privacy Policy
Last updated October 5, 2026
Overview
FxInsites ("we", "us") is a trade planning, backtesting, and journaling tool. This page explains, in plain language, what information we collect, why we collect it, and what stays entirely on your own device.
Information we collect
Account information: your email address, username, and password. Your password is stored as a salted hash; we never store it, and can never see it, in plain text.
Trade plan inputs: when you use the planner, the instrument, direction, entry/stop/target details, risk percentage, and any chart screenshot you attach are sent to our AI provider to generate your plan. The result itself is not saved to your account; like the rest of your journal, it's kept only in your browser's local storage (see below).
IP address: used briefly to apply rate limits (e.g. login attempts, AI plan requests) so no single user can overload the service. This is held in memory only and not stored long-term.
Payment information: if you subscribe to a paid plan, your payment is handled entirely by Paystack. FxInsites never receives or stores your card number or bank details, only your subscription tier and status.
What stays on your device only
Your trade journal, saved plan drafts, plan checklists, and risk-calculator inputs are stored in your browser's local storage, never sent to or stored on our servers. Clearing your browser data, or switching device or browser, will not carry this information over, since we never had a copy of it.
How we use your information
- To create, secure, and manage your account.
- To generate your trade plans and check them against risk-management rules, using Anthropic's Claude AI: your submitted idea and any attached chart image is sent to Anthropic for this purpose.
- To send account-related emails (verification, password reset) via Resend.
- To process payments via Paystack, if you subscribe to a paid plan.
- To fetch live prices, historical price ranges, and economic-calendar data from Twelvedata and Financial Modeling Prep, only the instrument symbol or a date range is sent to these providers, never anything that identifies you.
Cookies
We use one essential cookie to keep you logged in. We don't use advertising or cross-site tracking cookies of any kind. The website analytics described below don't use cookies either; see that section for how they work instead.
Usage statistics
We keep an anonymous daily count of how often each tool (planner, risk calculator, backtest, journal, dashboard) is opened, so we know whether the product is actually being used. This is just a running number per tool per day; it's never linked to your account, your email, or any other identifying information, and it's separate from the essential login cookie above.
Website analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to see basic visit information: which pages are viewed, what site referred you here, your approximate location (country/region, not exact), and your general device type. It doesn't use cookies, doesn't store your IP address, and can't track you across other websites. Vercel identifies a visit using a temporary hash that's automatically discarded after 24 hours, so there's no persistent profile of you or your visits over time.
Data retention and deletion
We keep your account information for as long as your account is active. You can delete your account and everything tied to it yourself at any time from Account settings, or request deletion by emailing support.fxinsites@gmail.com.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete your personal information, for example under South Africa's Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA), or the EU/UK GDPR if it applies to you. Contact us at support.fxinsites@gmail.com to exercise these rights.
Security
Passwords are stored using a salted hash, never in plain text, and all traffic to and from FxInsites is encrypted (HTTPS).
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date at the top.
