Privacy Policy
1. Who we are
Blakey Trades is operated by Kyle Airey, a sole trader based in England, trading as Blakey Trades ("we", "us", "our"). For the purposes of UK GDPR, Kyle Airey is the data controller for information collected through the app and this website.

2. What we collect
| Category | What | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address, display name, initials, sign-in method (Apple, Google, or email) | Create and secure your account |
| Journal | Trade entries you log yourself (pair, direction, P/L, notes, tags), and the closed-trade rows read from any MT5 screenshot you choose to import | Power your private trading journal — visible only to you |
| Support chat | The messages you send to Ask Aria and the recent conversation context | Generate a reply, and let the human team pick up an escalation |
| Age & agreement | Your confirmation that you are 18 or over, and when you accepted these terms | Meet our 18+ eligibility rule and evidence consent |
| Device | Push notification token, app version, device type | Send you call reminders and economic news alerts |
| Usage | Basic app interaction data (screens viewed, streaks, XP, last active), and daily AI feature usage counts | Show your progress, apply fair-use limits, and keep the app working correctly |
The app has no member chat, community feed, or direct messages, so we do not collect any of that. It also contains no trade signals — signals are posted only in our Telegram channels, which are a separate service governed by Telegram's own privacy policy.
3. What we do not collect
We never ask for, store, or have access to your broker password or login, and we have no connection to your brokerage — we cannot view, place, or manage trades on your behalf, and we never receive live account data from any broker.
One important exception to be clear about: if you use the MT5 screenshot import, the screenshot you choose to upload is an image of your own trading history, and it will typically show closed positions, prices, volumes and profit or loss. That image is processed as described in §4 and the extracted rows are saved to your private journal. You are never required to use this feature — you can always add trades manually instead.
4. AI features and the providers behind them
Two features work by sending content to third-party AI providers, acting as our processors:
- Ask Aria — your message and the recent conversation are sent to a large-language-model provider to generate a reply.
- MT5 screenshot import — the screenshot you upload is sent to a vision model that reads the trade rows out of it.
We currently route these requests through OpenRouter (which forwards to the underlying model provider), Mistral AI and NVIDIA. Requests are sent for real-time processing only; we do not ask these providers to train models on your content. Some of these providers process data outside the UK and EEA — where that happens we rely on the UK International Data Transfer Addendum or Standard Contractual Clauses as the transfer safeguard. We do not attach your name or email to these requests.
Do not enter passwords, card details, or other sensitive personal information into Ask Aria. If you would rather nothing left the app, don't use these two features — everything else works without them.
5. Who we share data with
- Supabase — our database, authentication, and backend infrastructure provider (data processor). Supabase stores your account and app data on our behalf.
- Cloudflare — hosts and serves the app's web content; processes connection data such as your IP address for delivery and security.
- Expo — delivers push notifications to your device; receives your device push token only.
- OpenRouter, Mistral AI, NVIDIA — AI processing for the two features described in §4.
- Apple / Google — if you sign in with Apple or Google, they act as your identity provider under their own privacy terms.
- Telegram — our community and support channels are on Telegram. If you contact us there, that conversation is governed by Telegram's privacy policy, not ours.
We do not sell your data, and we do not share it with advertisers or data brokers.
6. How long we keep it
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account (see our Account Deletion page), your login, profile, journal and progress are permanently and irreversibly removed. Daily AI usage counters are retained for up to 30 days for abuse prevention, then deleted.
7. Your rights
Under UK GDPR, you have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data (editable in-app under Settings → Profile)
- Delete your account and all associated data at any time, permanently
- Object to or restrict certain processing
- Request a copy of your data in a portable format
- Complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk) if you believe we've mishandled your data
To exercise any of these rights, email kyle.airey@hotmail.com.
8. Children
Blakey Trades is intended for users aged 18 and over. We do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. Financial market content is not appropriate for minors.
9. Security
Access to your data is protected by row-level security at the database layer — your journal and support chat history are only ever readable by you. We use industry-standard encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS).
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the app evolves. Material changes will be reflected here with an updated date; continued use of the app after a change means you accept the update.
