Privacy Policy
This policy describes what MarginPad actually collects and why. It covers marginpad.io, its subdomains, the browser extensions and the Telegram bots.
Using the tools without an account
The calculators still run entirely in your browser. Numbers you type into them are never sent to us. You can use the calculators, charts, screener, heatmap and market data without giving us anything beyond what any web server sees.
What we collect
| What | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
A device identifier (mp_did cookie, 2 years) | Every visit | To count returning visitors without an account, and to detect abuse of the rewards programme |
| Pages visited, referrer, country, device and browser type | Every visit | Analytics - which pages work and where visitors come from |
| IP address | Every request | Seen by our infrastructure; used for country detection, rate limiting and abuse prevention |
| Email address | If you create an account | Sign-in codes, account notices, and messages you ask for |
Session cookies (mp_sess, mp_uid, mp_un) | While signed in | To keep you signed in and show your own data |
| Your simulated trades, XP, missions, streaks and profile | If you create an account | To run the product you signed up for |
| Chat messages, community posts, profile text and avatar | If you post | These are public by design |
| Rewards balance, withdrawal requests and the destination you give us | If you use rewards | To pay you, and to prevent multi-accounting |
| Telegram user id and username | If you link Telegram | To connect bot messages to your account |
Analytics and session recording
We use Google Analytics and Yandex Metrica. Yandex Metrica includes Webvisor, which records how a page is used - movement, scrolling and clicks - and is enabled on wider screens. We use it to find broken layouts and confusing flows. We also run Sentry, which captures error reports when something breaks, and those reports can include the page you were on.
You can block all three with any standard content blocker, and the site works normally when you do.
Who else processes your data
| Provider | For |
|---|---|
| Cloudflare | Hosting, storage and delivery of the whole Service |
| Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica | Traffic analytics and session recording |
| Sentry | Error reporting |
| Resend | Sending email - sign-in codes and notices |
| NOWPayments | Processing Premium subscription payments |
| Telegram | Bot messages, if you choose to link it |
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers.
Exchange links
Links to exchanges are affiliate links carrying a referral code. Following one tells that exchange the visit came from us. It does not send them your email, your account or anything you typed here. Once you are on their site, their privacy policy applies, not ours.
How long we keep things
Account data is kept while the account exists. Analytics is aggregated and retained in the ordinary course. The live activity feed used for operations is a rolling window of a few hours. Rewards and withdrawal records are kept longer, because we need them to resolve payment disputes and detect abuse.
Your choices
- Use the tools signed out. Most of the Service needs no account.
- Block the analytics. A content blocker stops Google Analytics, Yandex Metrica and Sentry; nothing breaks.
- Clear cookies to reset the device identifier.
- Ask for a copy or a deletion. Write to us and we will action it. Deleting an account removes your profile and personal data; public chat messages may be removed on request, and anonymised aggregate statistics may remain.
Children
The Service is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.
