Privacy and Your Data

What stays in your browser, what is counted in aggregate, and what a broker handles under its own policy.

Calculators stay in your browser

The calculators on this site run in your browser, and the numbers you type into them are never sent to a server. If you enter a position size, a price or a margin figure, that arithmetic happens on your own device.

This matters for a reader working out something like the margin on a 0.10-lot gold position, which comes to about $85.50 at the applicable cap. You can run that sum without handing over your account size, your balance or anything else to this desk.

What the broker handles

When you follow a link to a broker, that broker sets its own cookies and handles your data under its own privacy policy, not ours. Registration details, identity documents and payment information go to the broker directly.

That includes funding by M-Pesa, where the payment record sits with the broker and the mobile money provider rather than with this desk. Read the broker's policy before you register, in the same way you would read its fee schedule.

Traffic counts and local storage

We keep only aggregate traffic counts, which tell us how many people opened a page and roughly where from, not who any individual reader is. We do not build a profile of you and we do not sell reader data.

Local storage on your device holds your own preferences, such as a setting you chose on a calculator, so the page behaves the same next time you open it. That storage sits on your machine and you can clear it through your browser whenever you like.

FAQ

Common questions

What does the site collect when I use a calculator?

The calculator inputs you type, such as lot size, price and account currency, are used to produce the result you see. We do not need your name, M-Pesa number or broker login to run a position size, pip value, margin or profit calculation, and we do not ask for them.

Do you store my email if I use the contact form?

If you write to the desk, we keep the message and the reply address so we can answer and, where relevant, log a correction. We do not add contact-form addresses to a marketing list without a clear opt-in. You can ask for a message to be deleted once the query is closed.

Does the site use cookies or tracking?

The site may use cookies for basic function and for measuring which pages are read, including affiliate link clicks. What is collected depends on your browser settings and any consent choice you make. You can block cookies in your browser, though some features may then behave differently.

Is my data shared with FxPro or other brokers?

No account details are shared, because we never hold them. If you click through to a broker and open an account there, that firm collects your information under its own privacy terms, not ours. Read those terms before you send ID documents or fund anything by M-Pesa.

Where is the site's data kept, and for how long?

Message and analytics data are kept only as long as needed for the purpose collected, such as answering a query or maintaining a correction log. Retention depends on the type of record. We do not sell reader data, and we do not build trading profiles from calculator inputs.
