Privacy and what this site stores
The calculators on this site run in your browser, and the numbers you type into them are never sent to a server.
Calculators run in your browser
Every calculator on this site runs in your browser, so a lot size, a margin figure or a cedi amount you enter stays on your device. The numbers are not transmitted to a server and are not stored by the desk.
That means a calculation you make about a 0.10-lot gold position is yours alone. If you close the tab, nothing of it remains with us.
The third parties that may receive data and what they see
The third parties involved are the brokers we link to, the analytics provider that counts visits, and the content delivery network that serves the site's pages. Brokers receive data only when you click through to their site, and what they receive is governed by their own privacy policies. The analytics provider receives aggregated, non-identifying data such as page views and country. The content delivery network processes technical data like your IP address to deliver the pages but does not use it for tracking. We do not sell data to any third party.
No third party receives the numbers you type into the calculators. Those inputs stay in your browser and are never sent to a server. The analytics provider does not see your lot size, your margin calculations, or any text you enter. Brokers do not see your calculator inputs either; they only see the fact that you arrived from this site if you click a link. The content delivery network may log standard request data, but that data is not linked to your calculator activity and is retained only for operational purposes.
We do not share data with advertising networks, data brokers, or social media platforms. The only third parties are those needed to run the site and the affiliate links you choose to use. If you follow a broker link, you leave this site and enter a relationship with that broker, whose privacy policy applies from that point. We encourage you to read that policy before opening an account. For Ghanaian readers, confirm any broker on the SEC Ghana licensed operators list, as the regulator caveat states: FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK), CySEC and FSCA; confirm any broker on the SEC Ghana licensed operators list.
The four kinds of cookies this site may set and what each one does
This site may set four kinds of cookies: strictly necessary cookies that keep the site working, preference cookies that remember your settings, analytics cookies that count visits in aggregate, and affiliate cookies that are set only when you click a broker link. Strictly necessary cookies handle basic functions like page routing and security. Preference cookies store choices such as your preferred leverage display or language. Analytics cookies help us understand which pages are used, without identifying you. Affiliate cookies are placed by the broker's tracking system after you follow a link, not by us beforehand.
Each cookie type has a distinct purpose and lifetime. Strictly necessary cookies last only for your session and are deleted when you close the browser. Preference cookies can last up to 12 months unless you clear them. Analytics cookies are set to expire within 13 months and record only aggregated data such as page views and country-level location. Affiliate cookies are controlled by the broker you click through to, and their duration depends on that broker's own policy. We do not set affiliate cookies on this site; they appear only after you leave for a broker's page.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking strictly necessary cookies may break parts of the site, such as remembering your calculator inputs. Blocking analytics cookies does not affect how the calculators work. Blocking affiliate cookies does not stop you from reaching a broker, but it may mean the broker does not attribute your visit to this site. Because we do not set affiliate cookies ourselves, we cannot delete them for you; you would need to clear them through your browser or use the broker's own cookie controls.
How long data is kept and what deletes it
Preference data in your browser is kept until you clear it or until the cookie's expiry, which is up to 12 months. Analytics data is kept in aggregated form for up to 13 months and then deleted or anonymised. Affiliate cookies are kept according to the broker's policy, which you can find in their cookie notice. We do not keep server logs beyond what is needed for security and operations, and those logs are rotated regularly. There is no archive of calculator inputs because those inputs are never sent to us.
Deleting data is straightforward: clearing your browser's cookies and site data removes preference and analytics cookies from your device. Uninstalling your browser or using a private browsing window also prevents persistent storage. For affiliate cookies, you must clear them through your browser or use the broker's opt-out tools. We cannot delete cookies set by a broker on their domain, but we can confirm that we do not set them ourselves. If you request deletion of any data we hold, we will act within the legal timeframe.
The retention periods are set to balance usefulness with privacy. Preference cookies last up to 12 months so you do not have to re-enter settings on every visit. Analytics cookies last up to 13 months to allow year-on-year comparisons without long-term tracking. When a cookie expires, it is removed automatically by your browser. You can shorten these periods by clearing cookies more often. No data is kept indefinitely, and no backup copies of calculator inputs exist because those inputs never leave your browser.
What this site stores and what it deliberately does not
This site stores only the minimum needed to run a useful gold trading toolkit: your chosen instrument (XAU/USD), lot size inputs, and display preferences such as language or theme. These are kept in your browser's local storage, not on a server. We do not store your name, email address, phone number, MTN Mobile Money details, or any trading account credentials. Nothing you type into a calculator is transmitted to us. If you clear your browser data, those preferences disappear and the site will start fresh the next time you visit.
This site does not store any financial account numbers, mobile money wallet IDs, or transaction records. It does not keep a history of the calculations you run, the pages you view beyond aggregated counts, or the brokers you click through to. There is no login and no user profile. Because we do not collect identity data, we cannot link any stored preference to a person. The only persistent data is the small set of settings described above, and it stays on your device until you remove it through your browser settings.
This site does not store any data that could be used to reconstruct your trading positions, your account balance, or your funding sources. The calculators are designed to work with anonymous inputs that never leave your browser. If you enter a lot size of 0.10 on gold, that number is not saved anywhere after you close the tab. The reference price of 4275.0 is a static example and is not updated from your activity. In short, what we keep is limited to interface preferences, and what we do not keep is anything that identifies you or your money.
Brokers set their own cookies
When you follow a link to a broker, that broker sets its own cookies under its own privacy policy, and the desk does not control them. A broker such as FxPro is a separate company, and its policy, not this page, governs what it collects.
Read that policy before you open an account, especially where a funding route such as MTN Mobile Money is involved, because the broker will hold the details you give it and the desk will not.
Affiliate tracking when you click a broker link, stated plainly
When you click a broker link on this site, the broker may pay us a commission if you open an account and trade. This is how the site is funded. The tracking works through a cookie or a unique link parameter placed by the broker's system when you arrive on their site. We do not receive your personal data from that process; we only see aggregated reports showing that a click led to a sign-up, not who you are. The commission does not change the price you pay or the spreads you are offered, because those are set by the broker.
Affiliate tracking does not give us access to your trading account, your deposits, or your MTN Mobile Money transactions. The broker's system records that a visit came from this site, and if you become a client, the broker may credit us a fee. That fee is paid by the broker, not by you. We do not know your account number, your balance, or your trade history. The tracking is designed to be anonymous from our side; any data the broker collects is governed by the broker's own privacy policy, which you should read before signing up.
You can avoid affiliate tracking by not clicking broker links, or by clearing cookies after visiting a broker. If you prefer to reach a broker directly, you can type the broker's address into your browser instead of using our link. Doing so does not affect your ability to use this site's calculators. We state this plainly because we want you to understand how the site is funded and to make an informed choice. There is no penalty for bypassing our links, and the tools remain free to use either way.
Traffic counts and local storage
We keep only aggregate traffic counts, such as how many times a page was opened, and we do not use them to identify a reader. We do not build a profile of you from your visit.
Local storage on your device holds your own preferences, such as a setting you chose on a calculator, so the page behaves the same way when you return. You can clear it from your browser at any time and the site will still work.
Your rights over stored data and the steps to exercise them
You have the right to access, correct, delete, and restrict the processing of any personal data we hold about you. Because this site stores only preference data in your browser, you can exercise most of these rights directly through your browser settings: clear cookies and local storage to delete the data, or adjust settings to restrict it. If you believe we hold other data, you can contact us using the details on the contact page, and we will respond within the time required by applicable law. We do not charge a fee for these requests.
To delete preference data, open your browser's settings, find the section for cookies and site data, and remove entries for this site. To restrict analytics cookies, use your browser's cookie controls to block third-party cookies or specifically block the analytics provider. To object to affiliate tracking, avoid clicking broker links or clear cookies after visiting a broker. These actions are within your control and do not require our involvement. If you need help finding these settings, your browser's help documentation explains the steps for your specific version.
If you are in Ghana, you also have rights under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843), including the right to complain to the Data Protection Commission. We do not collect identity data, so most requests will be resolved by clearing your browser. For any request that requires our action, contact us and we will verify what data, if any, we hold. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. The calculators remain available regardless of your cookie choices, and no functionality is tied to consent for non-essential cookies.
