Privacy
This is the whole list. Not a category summary — the actual fields, why each exists, and how long it stays.
What we store
| what | why | how long |
|---|---|---|
| Your Telegram ID, and the name and username Telegram sends with it | It is how a signal reaches you. There is no other account. | Until you delete your account. |
| Your exchange UID, and which exchange | To ask the exchange whether a deposit was made under our referral link. That is the only question we ask about it. | Until you delete your account. |
| Whether that deposit check passed, and when | It is what decides whether you receive signals. We never see your balance, your trades or your positions. | Until you delete your account. |
| The colour you chose, the colour the risk test recommended, and your risk % and account size | Which whales you follow, and the sizing line inside your own signals. The account size is a number you type; we do not read it from anywhere. | Until you delete your account. |
| Which whales you follow individually | They stack on top of your colour package. | Deleted with your account. |
| A record that a signal was delivered to you, and when | So we do not send the same one twice, and so our published accuracy figures have something to count. | Kept after deletion, with your ID removed — see below. |
What we do not store
No email address — we never ask for one. No phone number. No password. No exchange API key, and no permission of any kind on your exchange account: we cannot see your balance and we cannot place an order. No payment details, because you never pay us.
Deleting your account
Send /deleteme to @Darktradeaibot. It asks you to confirm, then erases your Telegram name and username, your exchange UID, your colour, your risk setting, your account size and your follows. Nothing is sent to you again.
One thing is kept, and we would rather say so than round it off: the anonymous record that a signal was delivered — with no name and no ID attached. Our published accuracy figures are counted from that table, and erasing it would quietly change a number we have already published. If you want that removed too, email [email protected] and we will do it by hand.
Age
You must be 18 or over. We ask before anything is stored, on the first screen of onboarding.
