This explains what personal data Goldman Copier collects, why, and what you can do about it. Written to reflect what the product actually does, not generic boilerplate — if something here seems vague about a specific technical detail, ask and we'll clarify or fix the wording.
This notice applies to anyone who creates a Goldman Copier account, visits our website, or uses our trade-copying service — referred to here as "you." Goldman Copier ("we," "us") is the data controller for the personal data described below.
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account information | Name, email address, password (stored as a salted hash, never in plain text) | Creating and securing your account, logging you in |
| Trading account credentials | Broker login numbers, servers, and passwords or API tokens for MT4, MT5, cTrader, or TradeLocker accounts you connect | Detecting and copying trades between the accounts you tell us to link — this is the core service |
| Sign-in via Google | Your name, email address, and Google account identifier, if you choose "Continue with Google" | Letting you log in without a separate password |
| Usage and activity data | Trade-copying history, account configuration, login history, IP address | Operating the service, showing your own activity feed, detecting suspicious account activity, and (from IP address only) determining your country for basic account records |
| Closed-trade history (optional) | For a main account where you switch on the trade journal: its closed trades (market, direction, size, open and close times, profit), plus any tags and notes you add. For strategy providers: the closed trades of the accounts behind their published results. | Showing you your own results in the trade journal, which only you can see; for providers, calculating and publishing their strategy's performance. Nothing is read for an account until you switch the journal on, and you can switch it off and delete the history at any time. |
| Cookies | A session cookie that keeps you logged in, and a preference cookie that remembers your dark/light theme choice | Basic functionality — neither is used for advertising or cross-site tracking |
| Payment information | Handled entirely by our payment processor — we do not receive or store your full card or bank details | Processing your subscription |
In plain words, with what Goldman Copier can and can't do with your accounts: Account safety.
Broker account passwords and API tokens are encrypted at rest, not stored as plain text. They are used exclusively to connect to your broker's own platform (MT4, MT5, cTrader, or TradeLocker) on your behalf, for the purpose of detecting and copying trades between accounts you've configured and, only where you have switched it on, reading that account's closed trades for your trade journal (or, for strategy providers, their published results). We do not access, view, or use these credentials for any other purpose, and we do not sell or share them with any third party except the broker or trading platform they belong to.
Data is only shared with the specific third parties needed to actually run the service:
We do not sell personal data to anyone, and we do not use your data for advertising.
Account and trade-copying history is kept for as long as your account is active, plus a reasonable period afterward for legitimate business records (fraud prevention, dispute resolution, and legal compliance). If you delete your account, your trading credentials are removed immediately; historical trade-copying records may be retained in an anonymized or aggregate form. Trade journal history, tags and notes are deleted when you remove the account, or when you switch the journal off and choose to delete them.
You can, at any time:
If this notice changes in a way that meaningfully affects how your data is used, we'll update the date at the top of this page and, for significant changes, notify account holders directly.
