Privacy Policy
This is a translation of the Czech version. In case of any discrepancy, the Czech version prevails.
Your data, and your trades in particular, are a sensitive matter. On this page we explain what personal data we process, why, for how long, to whom we disclose it and what rights you have. We comply with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR) and Act No. 110/2019 Coll., on the Processing of Personal Data (Czech Republic).

- Retention: for as long as the account exists; after it is closed, we delete the data within 90 days. A trade or statement deleted in the application is also removed from backups within 30 days at the latest.
Broker access credentials are not used to place orders or to dispose of money; we use them solely to download your trades. You can revoke access at any time in the application or directly with your broker.
Subscription, payments and invoicing

We use the IP address only in the server’s memory to create a daily fingerprint, which is deleted at the end of the day; we keep only aggregate figures. Legal basis: legitimate interest – Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Details in the Cookie Policy.
Protection of our legal claims
On the basis of our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), we may retain the data needed to evidence the contract, payments and communication for the duration of the limitation periods, at most 4 years from the end of the contract, if a dispute needs to be resolved.
We do not make automated decisions about you and do not create profiles that would have legal or similarly significant effects on you. You provide your data to us voluntarily; however, without account and payment data we cannot provide the service.
3. Who we disclose data to
We do not sell your data. We are helped with it only by carefully selected processors with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement:
| Recipient | Why |
|---|---|
| Cloud hosting provider for the application and website (servers in the EU) | operating the application, storing data and backups |
| Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd. (Ireland) | payment gateway and recurring payments |
| Fapi Business s.r.o. (Czech Republic) | orders and issuing invoices |
| SmartSelling a.s. – SmartEmailing (Czech Republic) | sending e-mails |
| External accountants and tax advisers | bookkeeping and tax obligations |
| Google Ireland Ltd.; Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd.; Seznam.cz, a.s. | traffic measurement and advertising – only with your consent to cookies |
We exchange data with brokers only on your instruction: during automatic synchronisation we download your trades from them on the basis of the access you have granted. We may also provide data to public authorities where required by law.
4. Transfers outside the EU
We process data primarily in the European Union. Some processors (e.g. Google, Meta, Stripe) may also transfer data to the USA. This takes place on the basis of a European Commission adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework) or standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission.
5. Security
We protect data with technical and organisational measures appropriate to the current state of the art: encrypted connections (HTTPS), encrypted storage of passwords and access keys, restriction of access to authorised persons only, and regular backups. If a security breach occurred that would pose a high risk to you, we will inform you without undue delay.
6. Your rights
You have the right:
- of access – to find out what data we process about you and obtain a copy of it,
- to rectification of inaccurate or incomplete data,
- to erasure (“to be forgotten”) if we no longer need the data or process it unlawfully,

- to object to processing based on legitimate interest, including the sending of commercial communications,
