Information we handle
We may receive an account email address, sign-in and session metadata, strategy settings, saved strategies, selected market and test settings, uploaded CSV market data, generated reports and run metadata, report-notification preferences, Stripe customer and subscription identifiers, EA purchase and delivery references, and messages sent to support. Stripe handles payment details; Backtest Software does not store full card numbers.
How it is used
We use this information to validate and run the requested test, email and preserve private report or purchased EA links, answer support requests, prevent misuse, and maintain the service. Anyone given a private download link may be able to use it, so keep it secure.
Strategy privacy
Client-submitted strategy rules and uploads are not sold or placed in public samples. They are not used in our internal strategy discovery or strategy catalogue. Uploaded files are deleted after a completed report is safely stored. Reports use hard-to-guess links; anyone given a report link may be able to open it, so clients should keep those links private.
Service providers and retention
Hosting, private storage, email, and payment providers process the information needed to perform their services. Account-owned reports and saved strategies are retained after trial expiry or subscription cancellation so the client keeps read-only access. To request deletion of client information, email support.
Service measurement, cookies, and advertising
We count a small set of first-party service events, such as page views, builder use, checkout starts, and completed purchases, to understand whether the service works for clients. These aggregate events do not contain cookies, IP addresses, device details, email addresses, order or report links, uploaded-file information, or strategy contents. A one-way, temporary in-memory network-address key may be used to limit abusive request volume, but it is not written to the measurement record.
When Google Ads measurement is configured, the Google tag may receive the current public page, consent state, and advertising-attribution information such as a Google click identifier. Advertising storage and advertising user data default to denied in regions where Google requires opt-in consent. Elsewhere, optional advertising measurement may use cookies unless disabled below. Ad personalization remains disabled everywhere. After Stripe confirms a new paid subscription, the service may send Google an opaque transaction identifier, the subscription price, and its currency. We do not send Google an email address, strategy, upload, private report link, full payment details, or a renewal as a new acquisition conversion.
