Privacy Policy
Effective: 10 September 2026
This policy explains what personal data TradeTribe collects, why, and what your rights are. The data controller is Harry Khan, trading as TradeTribe, based in the United Kingdom (“we”, “us”). Contact: haroonkhanqs@gmail.com.
1. What we collect
- Account details: email address, username, display name, avatar and any bio you add.
- Tribe activity: the tribes you belong to, trades you propose, how you vote, and messages you send in the App.
- Brokerage connection: when you connect an Alpaca account we receive an access token that lets the App place orders and read positions and balances in your account, plus your Alpaca account identifier and status. We store the token encrypted. We do not receive or store your Alpaca password, your identity documents, or your bank details; Alpaca handles those.
- Orders and positions: the orders the App places for you, their status and fill prices, and position and balance data read from your account to show it to you.
- Technical data: device and browser type, IP address, and usage logs needed to run and secure the service.
2. Why we use it
- To run the App: create your account, operate your tribes, record votes, and place orders you have approved (performance of our contract with you).
- To keep the service secure, prevent abuse and comply with our legal obligations, including record-keeping requirements that apply to trading activity (legal obligation and legitimate interests).
- To improve the App and to show educational content and, where used, advertising (legitimate interests, and consent where required).
- To contact you about your account, your tribes and service changes.
We do not sell your personal data.
3. Who we share it with
- Alpaca Securities LLC, the broker of record for your brokerage account, which receives the orders you approve and shares account data back with the App. Alpaca’s privacy policy governs its use of your data.
- Other members of your tribe, who can see your username, your proposals, your votes and tribe messages. They cannot see your account balances or your Alpaca credentials.
- Service providers that host and support the App (for example cloud hosting, email delivery and market data providers), under contracts that restrict their use of your data.
- Regulators, law enforcement or courts where we are required to by law.
4. International transfers
We are based in the United Kingdom and our brokerage partner and some service providers are in the United States. Where personal data leaves the UK or EEA we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement or standard contractual clauses.
5. How long we keep it
We keep account data while your account is open. Records of trades, votes and orders may be kept for up to seven years after they occur to meet legal and regulatory record-keeping duties. When you disconnect your Alpaca account we delete the access token immediately. When you close your account we delete or anonymise the rest within 90 days unless we must keep it by law.
6. Your rights
Under UK and EU data protection law you can ask to access, correct, delete or restrict the use of your personal data, object to certain processing, ask for a copy in a portable format, and withdraw consent where we rely on it. Email haroonkhanqs@gmail.com and we will respond within one month. You can also complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ico.org.uk) or your local supervisory authority.
7. Cookies and storage
The App uses browser storage to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences. We use only the cookies and similar technologies needed to operate the service and, with your consent where required, to measure usage.
8. Children
The App is for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18.
9. Changes
We may update this policy. We will change the effective date above and, for material changes, tell you in the App or by email.
