Privacy Policy for Leaf Edge

Last Updated: August 21, 2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to Leaf Edge ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your personal information and your right to privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website and use our trading journal and analysis application (the "Service").

We are based in the United Kingdom and this policy is designed to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018.

Leaf Edge is a service operated by Auromind Ltd, a company registered in England and Wales under company number 17036346, with its registered office in Peterborough, England, United Kingdom. Auromind Ltd is the "data controller" responsible for your personal data. If you have any questions about this policy or how we handle your data, you can contact us at hello@auromind.co.uk.

2. Information We Collect

A. Personal Data You Provide

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for the Service, specifically:

• Identity Data: Name, username.
• Contact Data: Email address.
• Financial Data: Payment information (processed securely by Stripe; we do not store full card details).
• Trading Data: Brokerage account credentials (processed via secure APIs), trade history, journal entries, and notes you input into the Service.

B. Automatically Collected Data

When you access the Service, we may automatically collect:

• Device Data: IP address, browser type, operating system.
• Usage Data: Pages viewed, time spent, and interaction with features.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use your personal data to:

• Provide and maintain the Service (e.g., syncing trades, generating reports).
• Process your subscription payments.
• Manage your account and provide customer support.
• Send you administrative information, such as security alerts or policy updates.
• Improve our Service through analytics (anonymized/aggregated data).

Our Lawful Basis for Processing

Under the UK GDPR, we rely on the following lawful bases to process your personal data:

• Performance of a contract: to create and manage your account, sync your trades, and provide the Service you sign up for.
• Legitimate interests: to secure the Service, prevent abuse, and improve our product through aggregated analytics, balanced against your rights and freedoms.
• Legal obligation: to retain certain financial records for tax and accounting purposes.
• Consent: where we specifically ask for it (for example, optional marketing communications). You may withdraw consent at any time.

4. Sharing Your Information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with the following third-party service providers who assist us in operating the Service:

• Stripe: For payment processing.
• Vercel: For website hosting and infrastructure.
• PostHog: For privacy-conscious product analytics and usage measurement.
• Supabase/PostgreSQL: For database storage.
• OpenRouter: For AI processing in Sage — your journal and trade context is sent to generate coaching responses, which routes requests to model providers including DeepSeek, OpenAI and Google.
• SnapTrade: For read-only brokerage connection and trade sync.
• Resend: For transactional email delivery (e.g. verification and security emails).
• Sentry: For error monitoring; receives technical error data, IP address and device/browser details when something breaks.

These parties are contractually obligated to protect your data and only use it for the purposes we specify.

International Data Transfers

Some of our service providers (including Stripe, OpenRouter, SnapTrade, Resend, and Sentry) process data outside the United Kingdom, including in the United States and other countries where those providers operate. Where your personal data is transferred outside the UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards — such as the UK International Data Transfer Agreement (IDTA), the UK Addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, or an adequacy decision — to ensure your data remains protected.

5. Data Retention

We retain your personal information only for as long as is necessary for the purposes set out in this Privacy Policy.

• Account Data: Retained while your account is active. When you delete your account from Settings, your account and database records in Leaf Edge are erased immediately and irreversibly; residual copies in encrypted backups are purged within 90 days. We then make best-effort attempts to remove uploaded journal images and ask our payment and broker-connection providers to delete their copies. If one of those cleanups fails, Leaf Edge logs the failure but does not currently retry it automatically.
• Trading Records: We may retain historical trading records for up to 7 years if required for legal or tax purposes, or as part of your user history unless deletion is requested.
• Backups: Retained for 90 days.

6. Your Data Rights (GDPR)

Under the UK GDPR, you have the right to:

• Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
• Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten"): Request deletion of your data.
• Restriction: Request that we restrict the processing of your data.
• Portability: Request transfer of your data to another service.

You can export or delete your data yourself from Settings → Privacy & Data. Deleting your account there is immediate and irreversible, so export first if you want a copy.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@auromind.co.uk. We will respond within one month.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), the UK supervisory authority for data protection, at ico.org.uk or by calling 0303 123 1113, if you believe we have not handled your personal data in line with the law.

7. Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information, including encryption (TLS 1.3), access controls, and regular security assessments.

8. Updates to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. The updated version will be indicated by an updated "Revised" date and the updated version will be effective as soon as it is accessible.
