5. FX Copier — Special Data Considerations
The FX Copier service requires access to sensitive trading account information to function. By using the FX Copier, you acknowledge and agree to the following:
- Your MetaTrader account credentials are stored in encrypted form on our servers and are used solely to operate the copy-trading service
- Trade data (open positions, pending orders, execution history) is transmitted between your MetaTrader terminal and our servers in real time
- Connection status, heartbeat data, and error logs are collected to ensure service reliability and troubleshoot issues
- TTR does not share your MetaTrader credentials or trade data with any third party
- You may disconnect your accounts and request deletion of all associated data at any time by contacting support
Important: While we implement strong encryption and security measures to protect your FX Copier data, no system is completely secure. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own MetaTrader accounts and broker credentials.
6. Payment Processing
All payments are processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full card details on our servers. Stripe handles all payment data in compliance with PCI DSS standards. You can review Stripe's privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.
7. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share limited information only with the following service providers who are necessary to operate our platform:
- Stripe — payment processing
- Discord — community access and role management
We may also disclose your information when required by law, court order, or to protect the rights, safety, or property of TTR, our users, or the public.
8. Cookies & Tracking
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to:
- Keep you logged in to your account
- Remember your preferences and settings
- Analyze site traffic and usage patterns through our internal analytics system
- Improve website performance and user experience
You may disable cookies in your browser settings, though some features of the site may not function properly as a result. We collect analytics data including page views, feature interactions, and session information to understand how our tools are being used and to improve them.
