What data we collect
We only collect data that is necessary to run the site and answer you. Where information is optional, you can leave it out without losing access to anything.
Usage data (collected automatically)
When you visit, some information is collected automatically through our analytics and hosting providers:
- Device and browser: device type, browser, operating system and screen size.
- Activity: which pages you view, how you arrived and how long you stay.
- Approximate location: country or region, never your street address.
- Technical details: IP address and similar connection data, used for security and to deliver pages.
Information you give us
If you choose to contact us or join our newsletter, you provide:
- Contact details: your email address and, if you give it, your name.
- Your messages: the content of emails and WhatsApp messages you send us, and our replies.
FX Recap has no user accounts or logins, so we do not hold passwords or profile data.
Information stored only in your browser
Some tools remember your choices, such as your time zone on the market hours tool or the lessons you have ticked in our course. These are saved in your own browser's storage, are never sent to us, and can be cleared at any time from your browser settings.
How we use your information
| Purpose | What it means |
|---|---|
| Improving the site | Aggregate usage statistics show which guides, reviews and tools are useful, so we know where to invest effort. |
| Answering you | We use your email and message to reply to questions, corrections, partnership or job enquiries. |
| Sending the newsletter | If you subscribe, we use your email address to send it. Every issue includes an unsubscribe link. |
| Funding the site | Aggregate patterns help us decide where to place ads and affiliate links. We never use your personal data for targeted advertising beyond our own site. |
| Security and legal duties | Connection data helps protect the site from abuse, and we may disclose information when the law requires it. |
We do not sell, rent or trade personal data. We do not build detailed profiles of individual readers.
Third-party services we use
We rely on specialist providers for some functions. Each receives only the data it needs for that function, under its own terms and privacy policy.
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Google Analytics | Visitor statistics | Usage data and cookies (see our cookie policy) |
| Cloudflare | Hosting and security | IP address and request data needed to deliver pages |
| TradingView | Live charts and price widgets on some tool pages | Data your browser shares when the widget loads, under TradingView's own policy |
| MailerLite | Newsletter sign-up and delivery | Email address, if you subscribe |
| YouTube | Embedded videos | Data your browser shares when a video loads, under Google's policy |
| Our email provider | Receiving and answering email | Your email address and messages |
Affiliate links take you to brokers' own websites, which have their own privacy policies and may set their own cookies. We do not control those sites.
Where data is processed and when we share it
Location of processing
Data is processed using secure computers and IT tools. Depending on where you are, it may be transferred to countries where our providers operate. We take appropriate measures to keep it protected wherever it is processed.
Legal disclosure
We share information with authorities only when the law requires it, for example in response to a valid court order or warrant.
Security and retention
Security measures
The whole site is served over encrypted HTTPS connections, our systems are kept up to date, and access to personal data is limited to the team members who need it.
How long we keep data
We keep personal data only as long as needed for the purpose it was collected: for example, your email for as long as you stay subscribed, or correspondence for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry. Data may be kept longer where the law requires it or you have agreed to it.
Your rights over your data
It is your data. To use any of these rights, email [email protected]; we may need to confirm your identity first.
Access
Ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
Correction
Ask us to correct or update inaccurate information.
Deletion
Ask us to delete your personal data, subject to legal exceptions.
Objection and restriction
Object to certain processing or ask us to limit how we use your data.
If you are covered by the GDPR or UK GDPR, you also have the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Cookies, children and changes to this policy
Cookies
We use cookies, mainly for analytics. Our cookie policy lists them and explains how to control them.
Under 18s
FX Recap is intended for adults. Our services are not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
Privacy rules change, and so may this policy. When we make significant changes we will say so on this page and update the date shown; where we hold your email for the newsletter, we may also tell you by email.
Questions and complaints
Email [email protected]. Messages come straight to the team and are answered by a real person.
Privacy Policy FAQs
Does FX Recap sell my data?
No. We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we do not build detailed profiles of individual readers.
Do I need an account to use FX Recap?
No. There are no accounts or logins. Every page and tool works without signing up.
How do I delete my data?
Email [email protected] and ask for deletion. If you subscribe to the newsletter, you can also unsubscribe from any issue.
What does Google Analytics see?
Pages viewed, how you arrived, your device and browser, and your approximate location. It helps us see which content is useful, not who you are.
