Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Lapidus FX Trading (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, stores, and shares information when you use the Currency Wheel mobile application (the “App”) on Android devices.

By downloading, installing, or using the App, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the App.

For questions about this policy or to exercise your privacy rights, contact us at lapidusfxtrading@gmail.com.

1. Who we are

The App is published by Lapidus FX Trading. We are the data controller for personal information processed through the App, except where third-party services act as independent controllers (as described below).

Contact: lapidusfxtrading@gmail.com

2. Information we collect

2.1 Information you provide

The App does not require you to create an account. We do not ask for your name, postal address, or date of birth within the App. If you contact us by email, we receive the information you choose to send (such as your email address, message content, and any device details you include).

2.2 App preferences and local storage

The App stores certain settings and data locally on your device using Android shared preferences and similar on-device storage, including:

• Theme preference (light, dark, or system)
• Notification and alert settings (master switch, strongest/weakest currency alerts, confluence alerts)
• Notification history (titles, bodies, timestamps, and read status — up to 50 recent items)
• Alert baselines and cooldown timestamps used to manage market alerts
• Cached market quote and timeframe data to improve performance and reduce network requests

This information is stored on your device and is not transmitted to our servers unless described elsewhere in this policy. Uninstalling the App removes locally stored App data from your device.

2.3 Push notifications and Firebase Cloud Messaging

If you enable notifications, the App uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), a service provided by Google LLC, to deliver push notifications to your device. When notifications are enabled, Google may assign your device a unique FCM registration token. We use this token solely to deliver notifications related to Currency Wheel market alerts that you have opted into.

We do not use FCM to send marketing messages unrelated to the App. You can disable notifications at any time through the App Settings or your device notification settings.

2.4 Local notifications

The App also uses local notifications (via the Android notification system) to display alerts generated on or received by your device, including strength-change alerts, confluence alerts, and notification history entries. Local notifications are displayed using your device’s operating system and do not require us to operate our own notification servers for those alerts, though FCM may still be used as a delivery channel when the App is configured to receive remote messages.

2.5 Device and technical information

When you use the App, we and our service providers may automatically collect limited technical information necessary to operate the App, such as:

• Device type, operating system version, and language settings
• App version and installation identifiers generated by Google Play or Firebase
• Network connection status and general diagnostic logs
• Crash and performance data processed by Google Firebase services where enabled

We do not collect precise GPS location through the App.

2.6 Market data

The App retrieves forex market data from third-party data providers, including Twelve Data (Twelve Data PTE. LTD. and its affiliates), to display quotes, strength calculations, leaderboard rankings, timeframe analysis, and related indicators. When the App requests market data, your device sends standard HTTP requests to those providers (and to any intermediary services we use). Those requests may include your IP address and technical metadata as normally logged by internet services.

We do not send your name or email address to market data providers as part of routine quote requests. Market data is displayed for informational purposes only.

2.7 Google Play subscriptions and purchases

Currency Wheel may offer optional paid subscriptions (such as “Currency Wheel Pro”) through Google Play Billing. When you purchase or subscribe:

• Payment processing, receipt validation, subscription status, free trials, renewals, and cancellations are handled by Google Play
• We receive limited purchase information from Google (such as subscription status, product identifier, and purchase token) to unlock Pro features in the App
• We do not receive or store your full payment card number

Google’s handling of payment data is governed by Google’s Privacy Policy. Manage subscriptions at any time through Google Play → Payments & subscriptions.

3. How we use your information

We use information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve the App and its features
• Fetch and display market data, strength, confluence, and sentiment indicators
• Deliver local and push notifications you have enabled
• Remember your preferences and alert settings on your device
• Verify subscription status for Currency Wheel Pro features
• Respond to support requests and communicate with you about the App
• Diagnose errors, prevent abuse, and protect the security of the App
• Comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for third-party advertising profiling within the App.

4. Legal bases for processing (UK GDPR)

If you are in the United Kingdom or European Economic Area, we process personal information on the following bases:

• Contract: to provide the App and any subscription features you request
• Legitimate interests: to operate, secure, and improve the App, deliver alerts you enable, and prevent fraud or misuse
• Consent: where required for push notifications or optional features that rely on your permission
• Legal obligation: where we must comply with applicable law

You may withdraw consent for notifications at any time through device or App settings without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.

5. How we share information

We may share information with:

• Google / Firebase — Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase core services, Google Play Billing, and related Android platform services
• Twelve Data — forex quote and market data API requests initiated by the App
• Service providers — trusted partners who assist us in hosting, analytics, or support, subject to confidentiality obligations where applicable
• Legal authorities — when required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public

We may share aggregated or de-identified information that cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

6. International transfers

Some third-party services we use (including Google and Twelve Data) may process information in countries outside the United Kingdom, including the United States. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses or equivalent mechanisms recognised under UK data protection law.

7. Data retention

• On-device data (preferences, caches, notification history) is retained until you clear App data, uninstall the App, or we update the App to remove it
• Support emails are retained as long as needed to resolve your enquiry and for a reasonable period thereafter for record-keeping
• Subscription records received from Google are retained while your subscription is active and for a limited period thereafter for billing disputes and legal compliance
• FCM tokens remain valid until refreshed by Google, you uninstall the App, or you disable notifications

8. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights under UK GDPR and applicable data protection laws, including the right to:

• Access personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your information
• Object to or restrict certain processing
• Request data portability where applicable
• Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent
• Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) in the UK at ico.org.uk

To exercise your rights, email lapidusfxtrading@gmail.com. We may need to verify your request. Uninstalling the App and clearing App data will remove locally stored information on your device.

9. Children’s privacy

Currency Wheel is not directed at children under 16. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take steps to delete it.

10. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organisational measures designed to protect information processed through the App. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the revised policy on this page and update the “Last updated” date above. Material changes may also be communicated through the App or by email where appropriate. Continued use of the App after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
