Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to Scaltrader (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “the Company”), accessible at https://scaltrader.com/. We are committed to protecting the privacy and security of our visitors and users (“you,” “your,” or “User”). As an online trading information platform, we understand that the data you share with us may be sensitive, and we take our responsibility to safeguard it seriously.

This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit or interact with our website, how we use and protect that information, and what rights you have regarding your personal data. By accessing or using Scaltrader, you consent to the practices described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access or use our website.

This policy is designed to comply with applicable data protection laws, including but not limited to the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act (“CCPA”), and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), as well as the policies required for participation in Google AdSense and other third-party advertising programs.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information in two primary ways: information you provide to us directly (“Personal Data”) and information collected automatically as you navigate the site (“Derivative Data” or “Log Data”).

2.1 Personal Data

While using our website, we may ask you to provide certain personally identifiable information that can be used to contact or identify you. This information is typically collected when you voluntarily submit it to us, such as when you:

Leave a comment on an article or blog post (name, email address, and website URL, where applicable)
Subscribe to our newsletter or email updates (name and email address)
Fill out a contact form or otherwise correspond with us (name, email address, and the content of your message)
Create an account on our platform, if applicable (username, email address, and password)
Participate in surveys, promotions, or other interactive features we may offer

We do not require you to provide Personal Data merely to browse our website. Providing Personal Data is always voluntary, though certain features of the site (such as newsletter subscriptions or commenting) may not function without it.

2.2 Derivative Data / Log Data

Like most website operators, we automatically collect certain information that your browser or device sends whenever you visit our website. This “Log Data” may include:

Your computer’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address
Browser type and version
The pages of our website that you visit
The time and date of your visit
The time spent on those pages
Device identifiers and operating system information
Referring website addresses (the site you visited before coming to ours)
Other diagnostic data

This information is collected automatically through server logs, cookies, and similar tracking technologies, and it does not, by itself, identify you personally. We use this data in aggregate to analyze trends, administer the site, track user movement, and gather broad demographic information.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for a variety of legitimate business purposes, including to:

Operate, maintain, and improve the functionality, content, and user experience of our website
Respond to your comments, questions, and customer service requests
Send you newsletters, updates, market insights, and promotional communications, where you have opted in to receive them

We will never sell your Personal Data to third parties for their independent marketing purposes without your explicit consent.
