Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 5, 2026 · Applies to showmetrade.com and the ShowMeTrade mobile app
Who we are
ShowMeTrade is a social platform for traders: users publish trade ideas and analyses, follow other traders, and chat. This policy explains what data we collect, why, and the choices you have. Questions: info@showmetrade.com.
What we collect
Account data. Email address, username, password (stored as a hash by our authentication provider), and optional profile details you add (display name, bio, avatar, location, links).
Content you publish. Trade ideas (ticker, entry/stop/target prices, captions), chart images, comments, reactions, and chat messages. Trade ideas and their outcomes are public by design — the platform exists to build verifiable track records.
Chat. Messages in the public Live chat are automatically deleted after 24 hours, including attached images. Direct messages and group chats are visible only to their members and are retained until deleted.
Verification documents. If you request trading verification, the statements you upload are stored privately and used only for the review.
Usage data. Basic analytics (pages viewed, approximate device/browser info) via Google Analytics, and technical logs needed to run and secure the service.
What we do NOT collect
We do not access your brokerage accounts, hold funds, or execute trades. We do not sell your personal data. Simulated positions on ShowMeTrade are not real trades.
How we use data
To operate the platform (feeds, rankings, notifications, chat), compute public performance statistics from your published ideas, moderate reported content, prevent abuse (rate limits, blocks), process subscription payments, and improve the product.
Moderation, reporting and blocking
Users can report content (trade ideas, profiles, comments, chat messages) and block other users. Reports are reviewed by our team; a snapshot of reported chat messages is kept for review even after the message itself expires. Blocking hides the blocked user's content from you and prevents them from messaging you directly.
Service providers
We rely on a small set of processors to run ShowMeTrade: Supabase (database, authentication, storage, realtime), Vercel (hosting), Stripe (payments — we never see your full card details), and Google Analytics (usage statistics). Each receives only what it needs to provide its service.
Data retention and deletion
Public Live-chat messages and images: deleted automatically after 24 hours. Account and published content: retained while your account is active. You can delete your own posts in the app. To delete your account and associated personal data, email info@showmetrade.com from your registered address — we complete deletion requests within 30 days.
Your rights
Depending on where you live (including under GDPR), you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, and to object to certain processing. Contact us and we will honor these requests.
Children
ShowMeTrade is not intended for children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Not financial advice
Content on ShowMeTrade is user-generated commentary and analysis. It is not investment advice. Trading involves substantial risk of loss.
Changes
We will post any material changes to this policy here and update the date above.
