Privacy Policy
Effective June 1, 2026 · Plain-language summary of what we collect, why we collect it, and your full control over your Trading Journal data.
In short
- TheNextTrade never sells or rents your personal or trading data.
- Your synced MT5 trade history is kept permanently while your account is active.
- You control cookie preferences and can export or delete your account at any time.
1.Overview
TheNextTrade is a free Trading Journal, analytics workspace, and MT5 trading tool ecosystem. We don't sell your personal information, we don't charge monthly subscription fees, and we don't run third-party ad networks. This page explains, in plain language, what we collect when you use the website and MT5 software, why we collect it, and what control you have over it.
2.Data Controller
The data controller responsible for processing and safeguarding your personal data is TheNextTrade Operations Desk (contactable at [email protected] and via official Telegram @GoldScalperNinja).
3.Information We Collect
In accordance with global privacy standards (including GDPR and applicable Personal Data Protection laws), we classify the data we process into basic and sensitive categories:
- Basic account data
- Name, email address, optional Telegram username, country/timezone, and interface preferences.
- Sensitive financial & trade telemetry
- Read-only MT5 account numbers, broker server names, balance/equity snapshots, and trade execution history synced via your EA Sync Key or imported by you. We never request or store your broker master trading password or withdrawal credentials.
- Technical & optional analytics data
- IP address, browser type, device metadata, security audit logs, and — only if you explicitly choose 'Accept All' on the Cookie Preferences banner — anonymized usage telemetry via Google Analytics 4.
4.How We Use Information
TheNextTrade uses the information described above strictly to:
- Sync and compute your Trading Journal metrics, drawdown diagnostics, AI behavioral insights, and software license eligibility.
- Verify Introducing Broker (IB) partner affiliation when you apply to unlock complimentary Pro EAs and VIP access.
- Send transactional emails for account verification, security alerts, and critical system updates (marketing notifications are sent only if you explicitly opt in).
- Prevent fraud, unauthorized license sharing, and DDoS or brute-force abuse.
5.Security
TheNextTrade uses industry-standard security measures, including SSL/TLS encrypted connections, Cloudflare DDoS protection, hashed password storage, read-only EA sync tokens, and strict row-level access controls.
6.Data Retention
Trading Journal & Account Data: Because TheNextTrade serves as your long-term trading ledger, your profile, connected MT5 accounts, synced trade history, journal notes, and software license keys are retained continuously for as long as your account remains active. We never auto-delete your trade history while your account is open.
User-Initiated Deletion: You can delete individual trades, disconnect MT5 accounts, or permanently delete your entire account and all associated trade records at any time from your Dashboard Settings.
Security & System Logs: Server security logs, authentication audit trails, and anti-abuse telemetry are retained for up to 12 months to fulfill cybersecurity and incident-response obligations before automatic purging.
7.Data Sharing
TheNextTrade does not sell your data. Information is shared only with essential infrastructure providers (Supabase for database/authentication, Cloudflare for network security, transactional email delivery, and Google Analytics 4 only when you consent to analytics cookies) or where strictly required by applicable law.
8.Your Rights & Response Timelines
You have the right to be informed, access, rectify, export, restrict processing, withdraw consent, or permanently delete your personal data at any time via your Dashboard Settings or by contacting us.
We acknowledge all formal privacy requests within 2 business days, fulfill data access or correction requests within 10–15 days, and complete consent withdrawal, processing restriction, or full account deletion within 15–20 days.
9.Legal Basis for Processing
We rely on the following legal bases under GDPR and applicable international data protection frameworks:
- Explicit Consent — when you register an account, connect an MT5 account for journal synchronization, opt in to notifications, or click “Accept All” on our cookie banner. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Service Performance & Security — protecting the platform against fraud/abuse and verifying Introducing Broker (IB) eligibility so we can provide software tools and community resources for free.
10.Where Your Data Is Stored
Our cloud database, hosting, and security providers operate globally distributed infrastructure (including outside the EEA and Asia-Pacific jurisdictions). Where personal data is transferred across borders, we apply encryption in transit and at rest alongside Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and statutory cross-border data protection safeguards.
11.Right to Lodge a Complaint
If you believe our processing of your personal data violates applicable data protection law, you have the right to contact us directly for immediate resolution or lodge a complaint with the competent data protection supervisory authority in your jurisdiction of residence.
12.Children's Privacy
TheNextTrade is intended strictly for adults aged 18 and older due to the nature of financial markets. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. If you believe we have inadvertently collected data from a minor, please contact us immediately and we will delete it promptly.
14.Contact
For privacy questions or data requests, contact us on Telegram at @GoldScalperNinja or by email at [email protected].
This policy may change as the service evolves. When it does, we'll update the effective date at the top of this page.
