At IrishTrader.ie, your privacy matters. We collect the minimum personal data we need, use it responsibly, and never sell it to spammers. Here’s the breakdown:
Quick Summary (Highlights)
- We collect basic info (like your name, email and trading preferences) to run your account and subscriptions.
- We sometimes use cookies and analytics to keep the site running smoothly and improve content.
- We don’t sell your data. Ever.
- Payments are handled by secure third-party processors — we don’t store your full card details.
- You can access, update, or delete your data at any time.
If you want the long version (you should!), keep reading.
1) What data we collect
- We only collect what we need to make the service work:
- Account details: name, email, password, subscription plan.
- Payment info: processed securely via third (e.g. Stripe). We never see or store your full card numbers.
- Usage info: which pages you visit, downloads, and actions in your account.
- Device/browser info: IP address, device type, and cookies (used for security, analytics, and smoother logins).
- Community content: if you post in our groups or send us feedback, we may keep that.
2) How we use your data
- We use your information to:
- Provide access to subscriptions, downloads, and updates.
- Process payments and manage billing.
- Send you important service updates (e.g., renewals, new features, outages).
- Improve our site and EAs by analyzing usage patterns.
- Keep the community safe by enforcing rules.
- Share marketing emails (only if you opt in).
3) Who we share it with
- We keep your data private. The only sharing we do is with:
- Payment processors (to take payments securely).
- Hosting & tech providers (servers, email delivery, analytics).
- Legal or regulatory bodies (only if required by law).
- We do not sell your data to advertisers, spammers, or shady third parties.
4) Cookies & tracking
- Like most sites, we use cookies and analytics to:
- Keep you logged in.
- Remember account preferences.
- See which pages are popular so we can improve content.
- You can block cookies in your browser, but some features may stop working.
5) Marketing & emails
- We sometimes send emails about:
- Service updates (renewals, changes, security notices).
- Educational content (new guides, strategy explainers, EA tips).
- Special offers (discounts, promotions, early access to tools).
- You’ll always get service-related emails (since they’re important)
- Marketing emails are optional — you can opt in when signing up and unsubscribe anytime by clicking the link at the bottom of an email.
- We may use tools like Mailchimp/SendGrid to manage newsletters securely.
6) Data security
- We use industry-standard measures (SSL encryption, secure servers, restricted staff access) to keep your data safe.
- Still, no system is 100% hack-proof — use strong passwords and don’t share your login.
7) Your rights
- Under GDPR and other privacy laws, you have rights:
- Access: ask what data we hold on you.
- Correction: update or fix inaccurate details.
- Deletion: request we delete your account/data (legal or billing records may need to be kept for tax compliance).
- Portability: request a copy of your data in a portable format.
- Opt-out: unsubscribe from marketing emails anytime (links are in the footer).
- To exercise any of these rights, email support@irishtrader.ie
8) Data retention
- We keep your data only as long as necessary:
- Account info: as long as you’re subscribed.
- Billing records: required by law (usually 6+ years in Ireland/EU).
- Analytics/cookies: for as long as needed to improve the service.
- When data is no longer required, we securely delete or anonymize it.
