Privacy Policy
What we collect, why we collect it, who touches it on our behalf, how long it stays, and how to make us change or delete it.
Section 01
Who is responsible for your information
The controller of the personal information described here is JBN Management & Consulting LLC, of 66 W. Flagler St., Suite 900, Miami, FL 33130. Privacy requests and questions go to support@trade142.com.
This policy covers trade142.com, the Trade142 account area, the purchase flow, the mentorship application, and the emails we send you. It does not cover TradingView, Stripe, or any other third party you deal with directly — those have their own policies.
Section 02
What we collect
Information you give us
- Account — your name and email address, and a password that we store only as an irreversible hash. We never store, see, or can recover your actual password.
- Purchases — what you bought, when, the amount, the currency, and the status of the order and any subscription. Card details go directly to Stripe; we receive a token and, at most, the card brand and last four digits so we can show you which card is on file.
- TradingView username — if you subscribe to an indicator bundle, so we can grant script access.
- Mentorship application — see the next section, which is about this specifically.
- Mentorship submissions — if you are enrolled, the journals, trades, and notes you submit for review, and the feedback recorded against them.
- Support correspondence — what you write to us and what we write back.
Information collected automatically
- Sign-in and session activity, including IP address and approximate time, which we use to detect abuse, to enforce rate limits, and to record who took a sensitive action.
- Page and product usage — which pages and lessons you opened and when — so we know what is worth building and what is not being used.
- Email delivery events from our email provider: delivered, opened, clicked, bounced, unsubscribed, marked as spam.
Section 03
The mentorship application, specifically
Read before you apply
The mentorship application asks about your trading experience and your goals in free text. People often use those boxes to describe their financial situation, their account size, or losses they have taken. You are not required to. Write only what you are comfortable having stored, read by James, and kept as part of your application record.
Applications are stored in our database, are read by James Norman and by the site owner, and are used to decide whether to invite you to enrol. They are not sold, are not shared with anyone else, and are not used to build advertising audiences.
Applications that are declined are retained for 24 months and then deleted. You can ask us to delete yours sooner.
Section 04
Why we collect it
- To create and secure your account, and to let you sign in.
- To take payment, deliver what you bought, and keep your access correct as subscriptions renew, lapse, or are cancelled.
- To send transactional email you need — verification, receipts, renewal notices, password resets, and delivery of what you paid for.
- To review mentorship applications and to run a mentorship engagement if you enrol.
- To provide support and to keep a record of what was agreed.
- To detect and prevent fraud, account sharing, credential abuse, and attacks on the platform.
- To send marketing email, but only to people who asked for it, and with a working unsubscribe link in every message.
- To meet legal, tax, and accounting obligations.
Where a legal basis is required for processing, we rely on performance of our contract with you for account, purchase, and delivery processing; on your consent for marketing email and for any non-essential analytics; and on our legitimate interest in running a secure, functioning business for fraud prevention and security logging.
Section 05
What we do not do
- We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising.
- We do not publish your name, your results, your submissions, or your application. See the Testimonial Disclosure for the standing rule on that.
- We do not ask for, want, or store brokerage credentials, account numbers, or trading platform logins. If you send them to us, we will delete them.
- We do not have access to your trading account and cannot place trades.
Section 06
Who processes information for us
We use a small number of service providers, each of which processes information only to provide their service to us:
- Stripe, Inc. — Payment processing, invoices, and subscription billing.
- Vercel Inc. — Website hosting and delivery.
- Neon, Inc. — Database hosting for accounts, orders, and course progress.
- Cloudflare, Inc. — Private storage and delivery of lesson video.
- Resend (Plus Five Five, Inc.) — Transactional and course email.
- TradingView, Inc. — Granting indicator access to the username you provide.
- Google LLC — Advertising measurement (Google Analytics 4). Only after you accept cookies; receives page views and, if you buy, the order value.
- Meta Platforms, Inc. — Advertising measurement (Meta pixel and Conversions API). Only after you accept cookies; receives page views and, if you buy, the order value and a one-way hash of your email address.
That list is the complete one as of the effective date at the top of this page. If we add a subprocessor with access to your account content, we will say so here and tell account holders by email before it starts.
We will also disclose information where we are legally required to, and to professional advisers under confidentiality.
Section 08
How long we keep things
- Account records: for as long as your account is open, and then 12 months after you close it, so that a purchase can be proved if it is disputed.
- Order, payment, and tax records: for as long as tax and accounting law requires us to keep them, which is longer than you may expect and is not something we can shorten on request.
- Mentorship applications and submissions: 24 months for applications, and 7 years for records relating to a paid engagement, which is a tax and liability period rather than a choice.
- Security and audit logs: kept as long as needed to investigate abuse and to show who took a sensitive action.
- Email suppression records: kept indefinitely, because the only way to reliably never email you again is to remember that you asked.
Section 09
Your rights and how to use them
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access a copy of your information, to correct it, to delete it, to object to or restrict certain processing, to receive it in a portable format, to opt out of its sale or sharing (we do neither), and not to be treated worse for exercising any of these rights.
To exercise any of them, email support@trade142.com from the address on your account. We will respond within 45 days, and will verify your identity before acting on a request, because acting on an unverified deletion request is its own kind of breach.
You can unsubscribe from marketing email at any time using the link in any marketing message, or by asking us. Transactional email about something you bought is not marketing and will keep being sent while you have an active purchase.
On the statutes: we are a small Florida company and most state privacy laws set revenue or volume thresholds we are nowhere near, so they do not currently apply to us by their own terms. We have chosen to give the rights above to everybody anyway rather than sort customers by which state they live in. If you believe a statutory right applies to you that we have not honoured, write to support@trade142.com with the statute named and we will answer you on it; if you are still not satisfied, you keep whatever right to complain to a regulator that your own law gives you.
Section 10
Security
Passwords are stored using a modern memory-hard hashing algorithm, never in a form we can reverse. Access to production data is limited to the people who need it. Sensitive actions — role changes, manual grants of access, refunds — are recorded with the identity of whoever took them.
No system is perfectly secure, and we will not claim ours is. If we become aware of a breach affecting your information, we will notify you and the relevant authorities as required by law.
Section 11
Children
This site is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has given us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Section 12
Where your information is processed
We are based in the United States and our service providers process information in the United States and potentially in other countries where they operate infrastructure. If you use this site from outside the United States, you are sending your information to the United States, where privacy law differs from your own.
Where information about a person in the United Kingdom or the European Economic Area reaches the United States, our providers rely on the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK Addendum where it applies, or their own certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. We do not offer this service on the basis that it is designed for EU or UK data subjects, and if you need a specific transfer instrument before you buy, ask us before you buy rather than after.
Section 13
Changes to this policy
We will update this page when what we do changes. If a change is material — a new category of information, a new purpose, a new subprocessor with access to your content — we will tell account holders by email rather than quietly editing the page.
Questions about this page go to support@trade142.com. For the full set of policies, see all legal pages.
