Risk disclaimer

1. What TradeRadar is

TradeRadar ("the Service") is a market-intelligence platform that aggregates publicly available data about financial instruments and surfaces it as a 0–10 quality score plus plain-English explanation. The Service is informational only. Nothing on this site constitutes a personalised recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security, currency, commodity, or other financial instrument.

2. What TradeRadar is not

• Not a broker. We do not execute trades, hold customer funds, or facilitate the buying or selling of securities.
• Not a registered investment adviser. We do not provide personalised investment advice. Our scores are derived from a quantitative methodology applied uniformly across our covered universe.
• Not a guarantee. Past performance, back-tested win rates, and historical hit-rates do not predict future results. Our 75% 30-day hit rate is not a guarantee that 75% of future trades will be winners.
• Not personalised. The same score is shown to every user. We do not know your portfolio, risk capacity, or financial situation.

3. Risk warning

Trading financial instruments — including but not limited to stocks, ETFs, forex, futures, options, and cryptocurrencies — involves substantial risk of loss. You can lose some or all of your initial investment. Leveraged products (CFDs, futures, options) can produce losses that exceed your initial deposit.

Before trading, you should:

• Understand the products you are trading
• Consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite
• Seek independent financial advice if you are unsure
• Never trade money you cannot afford to lose

4. Data accuracy

TradeRadar pulls data from public sources including Yahoo Finance, the Federal Reserve Economic Data (FRED) database, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE). We do not guarantee that this data is accurate, complete, or timely. Data feeds can be delayed, contain errors, or fail entirely. Always verify critical data with your broker before trading.

5. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, TradeRadar and its affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or relating to your use of the Service, including but not limited to:

• Trading losses incurred while using or relying on the Service
• Loss of opportunity or expected profits
• Data inaccuracies, delays, or downtime
• Errors in scoring, signalling, or explanation

Our total liability to you for any claim relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

6. No fiduciary duty

The use of TradeRadar does not create a fiduciary, advisory, or agency relationship between you and us. We owe you no duty of care beyond the obligations expressly set out in our Terms of Service. You are solely responsible for your own trading decisions.

7. Geographic restrictions

The Service may not be available in all jurisdictions. By accessing the Service, you represent that you are not in a jurisdiction where access is restricted. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction.

8. Acknowledgement

By using TradeRadar, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and accepted this Risk Disclaimer in full. If you do not agree with any part of this Disclaimer, you must not use the Service.

9. Changes

We may update this Disclaimer from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by email or in-app notification. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Disclaimer.

If you have questions about this Disclaimer, contact us at legal@trytraderadar.com

Questions: legal@trytraderadar.com

Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data TradeRadar collects, why we collect it, how we use it, who we share it with, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it. It applies to every visitor of trytraderadar.com and every signed-in user, regardless of country.

1. Who we are (data controller)

The data controller for the personal data described in this policy is the operator of TradeRadar, contactable at support@trytraderadar.com for all privacy matters. As a small business operating below the GDPR Article 37 threshold, we are not required to appoint a Data Protection Officer, but every privacy request is handled by the operator directly.

Postal correspondence can be addressed to the operator via the same email; we will provide a postal address on request if you require one for formal correspondence with a supervisory authority.

2. What personal data we collect

We collect only the data we need to operate the Service. We do not collect special-category data (race, religion, political views, health, biometric, sexual orientation), and we do not knowingly collect data from children under 18.

• Account data: email address, hashed password, optional display name, country, timezone, locale preference, signup date, last sign-in date.
• Subscription & billing data: current tier (Free / Pro / Elite), subscription status, trial start and end dates. Card numbers, expiry dates, and full billing addresses are processed by Stripe and never stored by us — we hold only the Stripe customer ID and subscription ID needed to look up your account.
• Product data: watchlist tickers, preferences (notification opt-ins, default time horizon, display preferences), session history within the app.
• Usage analytics: pages viewed, buttons clicked, errors encountered, time spent on each instrument page, traffic source. Collected via PostHog, identified by your user ID after you sign in and by an anonymous device ID before that.
• Technical & security data: IP address (used for geo-location at country level, fraud prevention, and rate-limiting), user agent, referrer URL, request timestamps. Held in server logs for 30 days then purged.
• Communications: the content of any email you send to a TradeRadar address, including support@trytraderadar.com, and any reply we send back. Retained while the matter is open and for up to 3 years after closure for record-keeping.
• Affiliate data (only if you apply to be an affiliate): name, website or social profile URL, expected reach, and the contents of your application. Held under the Affiliate Terms regardless of whether you are approved.

3. How we use it — with the lawful basis (UK GDPR & EU GDPR Article 6)

We process your personal data only when at least one of the following lawful bases applies. We tell you which basis we rely on for each processing purpose so you can exercise the right that matches it (e.g. right to object applies to legitimate-interest processing; right to withdraw consent applies to consent-based processing).

• To provide the Service to you — create your account, authenticate you, render the dashboard and instrument pages, save your watchlist, deliver the research note we publish for each instrument. Lawful basis: contract (Article 6(1)(b)).
• To process payments and manage your subscription — charge your card, send invoices, manage trial expiry, handle refunds, manage upgrades and downgrades. Lawful basis: contract (Article 6(1)(b)) and legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c), tax record-keeping).
• To send transactional emails — sign-up confirmation, password reset, payment receipts, trial-ending notice, billing failures, account-deleted confirmation. These are required for the Service to function and are sent on the basis of contract (Article 6(1)(b)). You cannot opt out of transactional emails while your account is active; close the account to stop them.
• To send marketing emails and the daily research briefing — only if you opt in. Lawful basis: consent (Article 6(1)(a)). You can withdraw consent at any time from Settings → Notifications, or by clicking unsubscribe in any marketing email, with no effect on the Service.
• To prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents — rate-limiting, anomaly detection, blocking known-malicious IPs, investigating reports of misuse. Lawful basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)) in keeping the Service safe and available. Our legitimate-interests assessment concluded that this processing is necessary and proportionate.
• To improve the product and diagnose bugs — PostHog product analytics, Sentry error monitoring. Lawful basis: legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f)). You can opt out of analytics tracking via the cookie banner or by emailing us; transactional and security processing continues regardless.
• To comply with legal obligations — tax records, anti-money-laundering checks if required, responding to lawful requests from regulators or law enforcement. Lawful basis: legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c)).

4. Automated decision-making and profiling

TradeRadar publishes research scores for 54 financial instruments using a deterministic engine plus Claude language models. These scores describe market instruments, not you. We do not use automated decision-making in any way that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you (we do not auto-deny accounts, set personalised pricing, or make hiring or credit decisions). PostHog cohort analysis groups users by general engagement patterns to inform product priorities; it never targets individuals with adverse outcomes.

5. Who we share data with (subprocessors)

We share personal data only with the subprocessors below, each of which has its own published privacy commitments and is contractually bound by a Data Processing Agreement. We do not sell personal data, we do not share it with advertisers, and we do not run ad-tracking pixels.

• Supabase — managed Postgres database and authentication. Stores account data, product data, subscription metadata. Region: United States (us-west-1, California). SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001.
• Vercel — web hosting, edge network, serverless functions. Processes every page request. Region: multi-region edge with US and EU points of presence. SOC 2.
• Stripe — payment processing, billing portal, invoicing. Receives payment-method data directly from your browser; we never see card numbers. Region: United States (Stripe Inc.) with EU data residency available. PCI DSS Level 1.
• Anthropic — large language model inference for research synthesis. We send anonymised market context to generate the research narrative; we do not send your account email, name, or any other personal identifier to Anthropic. Region: United States. SOC 2.
• PostHog — product usage analytics. Region: EU instance (eu.posthog.com). SOC 2, GDPR-aligned data processing.
• Resend — transactional and (with consent) marketing email delivery. Region: Ireland (eu-west-1). GDPR-aligned.
• Upstash — managed Redis cache for session and rate-limit data. Region: United States (us-east-1, Virginia). SOC 2.
• Sentry — error monitoring. Receives error stack traces; we strip personal data from error reports before they leave the server. Region: United States with EU data residency option.
• Cloudflare — DDoS protection and bot mitigation (when configured at the network edge). Receives IP addresses and request headers for traffic filtering. Region: global edge. SOC 2.

Public market data providers (Yahoo Finance, the U.S. Federal Reserve FRED, the CFTC, the CBOE, the EIA, the LME, USDA, Baker Hughes) supply us with market data only. We do not send them any personal data about you.

6. International data transfers

Several of the subprocessors above are based in the United States. When personal data leaves the UK or the EEA, we rely on the following safeguards as permitted by UK GDPR Articles 44–49 and EU GDPR Chapter V:

• Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) incorporating the European Commission’s 2021 modules and the UK ICO’s International Data Transfer Addendum, executed with every US-based subprocessor.
• Transfer impact assessments documenting that the receiving jurisdiction provides essentially equivalent protection in the context of the specific data we transfer.
• Supplementary measures where appropriate, including encryption in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest, access logging, and pseudonymisation of identifiers where the subprocessor does not need to identify you (e.g. Anthropic).

You can request a copy of the SCCs covering any specific subprocessor by emailing support@trytraderadar.com.

7. How long we keep your data (retention)

• Account data: kept while your account is active. After you delete your account, kept for a 30-day grace period in case of accidental deletion, then permanently erased.
• Billing records and invoices: retained for 7 years to comply with UK and EU tax law (HMRC, VAT rules). After 7 years, deleted.
• Server logs (IP, user agent, request paths): 30 days, then rotated out automatically.
• Product analytics events (PostHog): 12 months for individually-attributable events, after which they are aggregated and anonymised. Anonymous aggregate metrics may be retained indefinitely.
• Error reports (Sentry): 90 days, then auto-purged.
• Support correspondence: 3 years from closure of the matter.
• Affiliate applications: approved applications — for the lifetime of the affiliate relationship plus 1 year. Rejected applications — 12 months from the rejection date.
• Cookies: see the Cookie Policy section below for individual cookie lifetimes.

8. Your rights under UK GDPR and EU GDPR

You have the following rights at any time, free of charge:

• Right of access (Article 15) — ask us what personal data we hold about you and receive a copy. We respond within 30 days.
• Right to rectification (Article 16) — correct inaccurate or incomplete data. You can update most fields yourself in Settings → Account.
• Right to erasure / right to be forgotten (Article 17) — ask us to delete your data. You can erase your own account from Settings → Delete account, which wipes all personal data within 30 days (billing records retained per Section 7 for legal-obligation reasons).
• Right to restrict processing (Article 18) — ask us to pause processing while a dispute or correction is being resolved.
• Right to data portability (Article 20) — receive a machine-readable export of your account data (JSON). Email support@trytraderadar.com with the subject “Data export request”; we provide the export within 30 days.
• Right to object (Article 21) — object to processing based on our legitimate interests (Section 3). We will stop unless we can show a compelling overriding reason or legal claim.
• Right to withdraw consent (Article 7) — withdraw any consent you have given (e.g. marketing emails) at any time, with no effect on the lawfulness of past processing.
• Rights related to automated decision-making (Article 22) — not applicable here; see Section 4.
• Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority in your country — in the UK that is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), ico.org.uk; in the EU, your national data protection authority. We hope you will email us first so we can resolve the issue directly, but you are not required to.

To exercise any right, email support@trytraderadar.com. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request (typically by asking you to email from the address on your account). We respond within 30 days; in complex cases we may extend by up to 60 days and we will tell you why.

9. California residents — CCPA / CPRA

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by CPRA) gives you additional rights: to know what personal information we collect about you, to delete it, to correct inaccurate information, to opt out of any “sale” or “sharing” of personal information, and to limit the use of sensitive personal information. We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioural advertising, so there is no “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link to provide. We do not knowingly collect personal information from California residents under the age of 16. You can exercise your CCPA rights by emailing support@trytraderadar.com; we will not discriminate against you for exercising them.

10. Security

We protect your data with measures appropriate to the risk:

• TLS 1.3 encryption in transit for every connection to the Service.
• Encryption at rest for the database, file storage, and backups.
• Passwords stored as bcrypt hashes; we never see your plaintext password.
• Two-factor authentication is required for every administrative account.
• Least-privilege access controls and audit logging on the database.
• Independent security review on every significant change to the authentication or payment path.
• Penetration-test scope and frequency reviewed annually.

No system can be guaranteed 100% secure. If we discover a breach affecting your personal data, we will notify you and the ICO (or your DPA) within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, per GDPR Article 33.

11. Cookies and similar technologies

See the Cookie Policy section below for the complete list of cookies and how to manage them. In short: strictly necessary cookies are always set; analytics and functional cookies are opt-in via the consent banner. We do not use advertising cookies.

12. Children

TradeRadar is intended for adults aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe a child has signed up, email support@trytraderadar.com and we will close the account and delete the data.

13. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Effective” date at the top of this section reflects the latest version. Material changes (new processing purpose, new subprocessor handling personal data, new lawful basis) are notified by email to every signed-in user at least 30 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after that notice constitutes acceptance.

14. Contact

Privacy questions, data-subject requests, breach concerns, or anything you would like clarified: support@trytraderadar.com. We respond within 30 days as required by GDPR.

Cookie Policy

What we use

• Strictly necessary: auth session cookies (Supabase). These cannot be disabled.

• Identification of the copyrighted work
• The URL of the infringing material on TradeRadar
• Your contact information (name, email, and a physical or postal address)
• A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law

• Your physical or electronic signature

We respond to copyright concerns within 5 business days. Accounts of repeat infringers will be terminated. AUDIT-127 (May 16, 2026) — copyright matters are handled by TradeRadar support directly; we do not maintain a separately-designated DMCA agent or a separate DMCA inbox.

Affiliate disclosure

Our affiliate program

TradeRadar runs an affiliate program. Approved affiliates earn a commission (currently 20% recurring for 6 months) when someone signs up for a paid plan via their referral link.

What this means for you as a reader

If you click an affiliate link to TradeRadar — from a creator’s newsletter, YouTube channel, blog post, or social media — that creator is paid a commission if you subscribe. Your price is identical whether you use an affiliate link or come direct. The commission is paid out of TradeRadar’s revenue, not added to your bill.

What this means for affiliates

Per FTC guidance, affiliates promoting TradeRadar must clearly and conspicuously disclose their material connection. This means saying “affiliate link”, “sponsored”, or “I may earn a commission” near the link — not buried in a footer.

Editorial independence

Affiliates are not our employees and their reviews are their own. We do not pay for positive reviews. We reserve the right to terminate affiliate accounts for misleading marketing, spam, fake testimonials, or violations of our Terms of Service.
