Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 24, 2026

1. Who we are

TradersQuant (“TradersQuant”, “we”, “us”) is a trading name of Teodor Karagyozov, a sole proprietor operating from Bulgaria, who operates the TradersQuant market-intelligence platform (the “Service”) and is the controller of the personal data described here. We make the Service available internationally, including in North America, Latin America and Europe. This policy explains what we collect, how and why we use it, who we share it with, and the rights you have under the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), Brazil’s LGPD, and other applicable laws. You can reach us at any time at hello@tradersquant.com.

2. Data we collect

Account data — your name, email address, and (for email/password sign-in) a securely hashed password; or, if you use Google or Microsoft sign-in, the name, email, and profile image they provide.
Subscription & billing data — your subscription status, plan, trial and renewal dates, and a payment-processor customer/subscription identifier. We do not collect or store your full card number — card details are entered directly with our payment processor (Stripe). We may receive limited billing metadata (such as card brand, last four digits, and country) from Stripe.
Your content — watchlists, portfolios, alerts, profile preferences, notes, and any community posts you create.
Usage data — pages and features used, and interactions, to operate, secure, and improve the Service (including aggregate analytics).
Technical data — IP address, device and browser information, and similar identifiers, used for security, fraud and abuse prevention, and rate limiting.
Communications — messages you send us (e.g. support, feedback, contact forms) and your email preferences.

3. How we use your data and our legal bases

To provide, maintain, and personalize the Service and sync your data across devices — performance of a contract.
To process subscriptions, trials, renewals, and payments, and to prevent payment fraud — performance of a contract and legitimate interests.
To secure the Service, enforce our Terms, and prevent abuse — legitimate interests.
To send transactional and service messages (e.g. verification, billing, trial reminders, and, if you opt in, the daily briefing) — contract and consent where required.
To analyze and improve the Service — legitimate interests or consent where required.
To comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests — legal obligation.

4. Payments (Stripe)

Payments and subscriptions are processed by Stripe, Inc. as an independent processor. When you enter payment details, they are transmitted directly to Stripe and handled under Stripe’s own privacy policy; we never receive your full card number. We use Stripe to charge your trial conversion and recurring fees, manage your subscription, and detect fraud. See stripe.com/privacy.

5. Who we share data with

We share personal data only with service providers (“processors”) that help us run the Service, under contracts that require them to protect it:

Authentication — Google, Microsoft (if you use their sign-in).
Hosting & database — Vercel; Neon (Postgres).
Payments — Stripe.
Email delivery — our transactional email provider.
Analytics — Vercel Analytics & Speed Insights, and Google Analytics (Google LLC). These run only after you accept analytics cookies in our consent banner.
Affiliate tracking — Tolt, to attribute sign-ups that arrive through an affiliate or referral link so the referrer can be credited.
AI features — our AI model provider processes the inputs needed to generate investment theses and similar output; we do not send it your payment data.
Security — rate-limiting and abuse-prevention infrastructure.

We may also disclose data to comply with law, enforce our Terms, protect rights and safety, or in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We do not sell your personal data, and we do not “share” it for cross-context behavioral advertising as those terms are defined under California law.

6. Cookies and similar technologies

Strictly necessary — for authentication, session management, and security. These are always on; disabling them may break sign-in.
Analytics — Vercel Analytics, Speed Insights and Google Analytics, set only if you choose “Accept all” in our cookie banner. Choose “Necessary only” and they are not loaded.
Affiliate / referral — when you arrive through an affiliate or referral link, we store an identifier (for up to 360 days) so the correct partner is credited if you subscribe.

You can change your choice at any time by clearing the tq-cookie-consent cookie (or your site data) and reloading, and you can control cookies through your browser settings. We honour the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal as a valid opt-out of non-essential analytics where applicable.

7. Data retention

We keep account, content, and subscription data while your account is active and for a reasonable period afterward. We retain certain billing and transaction records for as long as required to comply with tax, accounting, and legal obligations. We delete or anonymize personal data when it is no longer needed for the purposes above.

8. Security

We use technical and organizational measures appropriate to the risk — including encryption in transit (TLS), one-way password hashing, scoped access controls, and rate limiting — to protect your data, and we never store full card numbers (Stripe handles those directly). In the event of a personal-data breach that is likely to affect you, we will notify the relevant supervisory authority and affected users without undue delay, as required by applicable law. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International transfers

Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, including the United States. Where we transfer personal data internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an applicable adequacy decision.

10. Your rights

Subject to applicable law, you may:

access, correct, update, or delete your personal data;
port (export) your data, and object to or restrict certain processing;
withdraw consent at any time (without affecting prior processing);
opt out of non-essential emails via the unsubscribe link or your settings;
(California residents) request disclosure or deletion of personal information and not be discriminated against for exercising your rights; we do not sell your data;
lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.

To exercise any right, or to close your account and delete your data, use the controls in your profile or contact us below. We may need to verify your identity first.

11. Automated processing and AI

Some features generate scores, signals, and AI investment theses using automated models. These are informational only and are not used to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you. They are not financial advice (see our Terms).

12. Children

The Service is not intended for, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from, anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us data, contact us and we will delete it.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will take reasonable steps to notify you. The “Last updated” date above reflects the current version.

14. Contact

Privacy requests: hello@tradersquant.com. General support: hello@tradersquant.com. We aim to respond to privacy requests within 30 days, or sooner where the law requires.
