Privacy Policy

📦 Information We Collect

1. No account, no profile. TradingBell has no sign-up or login flow. All your settings (theme, selected exchanges, alarms, favorites) are stored locally on your device using iOS standard storage (UserDefaults / Core Data). Nothing is sent to our servers.

2. In-App Purchases. If you subscribe to TradingBell Premium, the transaction is handled entirely by Apple through the App Store. We receive only a non-personal receipt confirmation to verify your subscription status — no payment method details ever reach us.

3. Notifications. TradingBell may ask permission to send you local push notifications for market open/close alarms you configure. These notifications are generated on your device and do not involve sending data to any server.

4. Crash reports & diagnostics. If you have opted in to sharing analytics with developers in your iPhone settings, Apple may share anonymised crash reports with us. This data does not include any personally identifiable information.

🚫 What We Do NOT Collect

• Name, email address, phone number, or any contact details
• Location data (GPS or IP-based)
• Financial data, trading accounts, or portfolio information
• Browsing history or activity outside the app
• Device contacts, photos, or camera access
• Any behavioural analytics or advertising identifiers

We do not use third-party advertising SDKs (e.g. Google Ads, Meta) and we do not sell or share data with third parties for marketing purposes.

🤝 Third-Party Services

Apple Inc. — The App Store manages all payments, subscription management, and (optionally) crash reporting. Apple's privacy policy governs how Apple handles this data: apple.com/privacy.

iCloud (Apple Inc.) — If you are signed into iCloud, the app may sync your preferences and settings across your devices using Apple's CloudKit service. This data is stored on Apple's servers under your Apple ID and is governed by Apple's privacy policy. You can disable iCloud sync at any time in your device's Settings → [Your Name] → iCloud.

We do not embed any advertising SDKs, analytics platforms, or any other third-party SDKs that collect personal data.

🗄️ Data Storage & Security

All app data (preferences, alarms, favourites) lives on your device. If you have iCloud Backup or iCloud Sync enabled, this data may be stored on Apple's iCloud servers. You can delete all app data at any time by uninstalling TradingBell from your device.

We do not operate any servers that store personal user data. We cannot access the data stored in your iCloud account.
