Privacy Policy
Effective Date: September 13, 2026 • Compliant with Apple App Store Guideline 5.1.1
Core Privacy Commitment: MyTrade does not sell, rent, monetize, or share your personal, financial, or trading data with advertisers, third-party brokers, or data brokers. Your brokerage credentials are never received or stored on our servers.
1. Information We Collect
MyTrade collects minimal, necessary technical and account information strictly to deliver quantitative options decision support and portfolio tracking:
- Account Identification: Username and email address provided during registration to authenticate your session across iOS, watchOS, and Web.
- Brokerage OAuth Tokens: When you connect your E*TRADE or SnapTrade account, authentication tokens are transmitted directly via secure OAuth 1.0a / OAuth 2.0 protocols and stored using AES-256 encryption. We never see or store your brokerage password or login credentials.
- App Preferences: Watchlist tickers, delta limits, and target DTE parameters saved in your profile.
- Device Identifiers (Optional): Apple Push Notification service (APNs) device tokens strictly to deliver user-requested portfolio alerts (such as 50% profit target milestones).
2. Biometric Data Protection (Face ID & Touch ID)
MyTrade supports biometric authorization for order staging and parameter modifications on iOS devices. Biometric verification is processed exclusively on-device within Apple's secure hardware (Secure Enclave). MyTrade never has access to, nor does it store or transmit, biometric samples or mathematical representations of your biometrics.
3. How We Use Your Data
All data collected is used solely to:
- Retrieve live option chains and market quotes requested by you.
- Compute Black-Scholes Greeks, downside cushion, and Wheel strategy opportunity scores.
- Stage pre-flight limit orders into your brokerage queue for manual review.
- Deliver local Apple Watch complications and real-time margin alerts.
4. Zero Sale or Sharing of Personal Data
We do not sell, license, or share user data with third-party advertising networks, analytics trackers, or data aggregators. MyTrade operates as a self-contained quantitative utility.
5. Data Security & Storage
All API communication is strictly encrypted in transit using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / HTTPS). Persistent session tokens are encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption.
6. Account Deletion & Data Retention (Apple Guideline 5.1.1(v))
You have the absolute right to delete your account, remove all linked brokerages, and erase all stored preferences at any time:
- In-App Self-Service Deletion: Navigate to Safety & Settings → Profile → Delete Account inside the app.
- Immediate Purge: Upon confirmation, your user record, associated OAuth tokens, and preferences are permanently deleted from all active databases.
- Support Request: You may also request complete data deletion by emailing nathan.cannon@gmail.com.
