Privacy Policy
- We collect what you put into AXIS (your trades, journal, notes and screenshots) plus your email and billing status, so the app can work.
- We never sell your data and we don't run advertising or third-party tracking.
- Your journal is isolated to your account. Nobody else can see it unless you create a share link.
- AI features send the data needed for that request to our AI providers to generate a response.
- You can export a full backup or permanently delete your account at any time.
01Who we are
AXIS is a trading journal and performance platform operated by DYL Trades ("DYL Trades", "we", "us" or "our"), based in Victoria, Australia. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect when you use the AXIS website, web app and related services (together, the "Services"), how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.
We handle personal information in line with the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles. If you use AXIS from outside Australia, you may also have rights under your local law, and we will respect them where they apply.
By creating an account or using the Services you acknowledge this policy. It forms part of our Terms of Service.
02Information we collect
We only collect what we need to run AXIS. Most of it is information you choose to put in.
| Category | What it includes | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account details | Email address, password (stored only as a secure hash by our authentication provider), account creation date, trial and subscription status, monthly AI usage count. | You, when you sign up and use the app. |
| Trading data | Trades and fills from the files you import (symbols, times, prices, size, fees, P&L), account names and balances, prop firm rules, cash and payout history, manual trades. | Files you export from your broker and upload, and anything you enter. |
| Journal content | Journal entries, moods, lessons, Pre-Market plans, Log Trade notes, tags, grades, playbooks, and any screenshots or images you upload. | You. |
| AI Coach data | Questions you ask, the responses generated, and your AI chat history. | You and our AI providers. |
| Settings | Preferences such as theme, timezone display, goals and dashboard layout. | You. |
| Billing information | Subscription status, plan and payment history references. Card details are entered directly with Stripe. We never see or store your full card number. | Stripe. |
| Technical data | IP address, browser and device type, and server logs (for example request times and errors), kept for security and troubleshooting. | Automatically, when you use the Services. |
| Friends & accountability | Your AXIS username, display name and small profile picture, your friends, partners and mentors, groups and challenges you join, comments and reactions, which days you share and with whom, your accountability rules (daily stop, max losses) and in-app notifications. | You, and the people you connect with. |
| Messages | Anything you send us by email, Discord or other channels when asking for support. | You. |
AXIS does not ask for, or store, your broker login password. Trades come into AXIS from files you export yourself.
Trading and journal content can reveal things about you (for example how you feel on a given day). Please only include personal details in your notes that you're comfortable storing in AXIS.
03How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Provide the Services: store your journal, calculate statistics, reports, drawdown and prop firm tracking, and show your data back to you across devices.
- Run AI features you choose to use, such as AI Coach, chart analysis, daily tips and reviews.
- Manage your account and subscription, including your free trial, payments, receipts and access.
- Communicate with you: account emails (sign-up confirmation, password resets), service and billing notices, and replies to support requests.
- Keep AXIS secure and working: prevent abuse, enforce usage limits, investigate errors and fix bugs.
- Improve AXIS: understand which features are used and where things go wrong, using our own server logs. We don't use your journal content for advertising.
- Meet legal obligations, such as tax and accounting records and responding to lawful requests.
We do not sell, rent or trade your personal information, and we do not use it to show you third-party ads.
04AI features
When you use an AI feature, the information needed for that request (for example the trades, statistics, journal text or screenshots relevant to your question) is sent to an AI provider to generate the response. Today that means:
- Anthropic (Claude models), for AI Coach, chart analysis and reviews; and
- OpenRouter, which routes some requests (such as the daily tip and some image analysis) to the model provider it selects.
These providers process the data to return a result to us. Under their commercial terms they do not use API data to train their models by default. AI features are optional. If you don't use them, your journal isn't sent to an AI provider.
AI output can be wrong. See the AI section of our Terms.
05Who we share it with
We share personal information only with service providers who help us run AXIS, only for that purpose, and under contracts that require them to protect it:
| Provider | What they do |
|---|---|
| Supabase | Database hosting, file storage and account authentication (including sign-up and password-reset emails). |
| Stripe | Payment processing, subscriptions and the billing portal. |
| Anthropic, OpenRouter | AI features, as described above. |
| Our hosting provider | Runs the AXIS servers that deliver the app. |
| Google Fonts, jsDelivr | Deliver the fonts and icons the pages use. Your browser requests these files directly, so these services receive your IP address. |
We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect the rights, safety or property of AXIS, our users or others, or as part of a sale, merger or restructure of the business (in which case this policy will continue to apply to your information).
06Share links and recap cards
Some features let you share your own content, for example a share link to a trade or day, or a recap card image. When you create one:
- anyone with the link can view the content you chose to share, without logging in;
- you control what's included (for example, hiding dollar amounts on recap cards); and
- you can revoke a share link at any time from Settings → Shared Links.
Once you've shared something, we can't control what others do with it, such as taking screenshots. Recap card images you download or post are yours to manage.
07Friends, partners and leaderboards
These features are optional and nothing is shared unless you turn it on:
- Your profile (username, display name, picture) is visible to people who look you up by username, your friends, your partners and members of groups you join.
- Friends only see days you choose to share, with the parts you pick (trades, journal, screenshots, dollar amounts).
- Accountability partners and mentors see what you allow in their permissions, which can include every trading day, your stats and dollar amounts. They can get alerts in AXIS and, if you allow it, by email when you hit your daily limit, flag a rule break, go quiet on journaling or ask for a review, plus an optional weekly summary. You can change their permissions or remove them at any time.
- Leaderboards show your rank, R, win rate, green days, discipline score and journal streak to friends and group members only if you switch leaderboards on, and dollar amounts only if you allow that too.
- Comments and reactions you leave are visible to the person whose day it is and anyone else who can see that day.
- Trading now shows friends who can see you (if you switch it on) and your partners a status for today: prepped, plan shared, in session with trade count, R and session, done, or journaled. It never shows your levels, entries or dollars.
- Your Pre-Market plan is included when you share a day or turn on auto-share, so the people you share with can compare your plan with your trades.
- Mentor tools: a mentor's grades on your trades and the homework they set are visible to you and them. A mentor's private notes about you are visible only to that mentor.
- Shared playbooks send a copy of a playbook's name, description and rules to the people you choose. Your trades and stats aren't included.
Removing a friend or partner stops their access straight away. Deleting your account removes your profile, connections, shares, comments and reactions.
08Cookies and local storage
AXIS uses a small number of essential cookies and browser storage. We don't use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers.
- Session cookie: keeps you logged in (longer if you tick "Remember me").
- Local storage: remembers things on your device, such as light/dark mode, dismissed tips, completed tours and unsaved journal drafts.
You can clear these in your browser settings. If you block the session cookie you won't be able to stay logged in.
09Where your data is stored
Our service providers operate data centres in several countries. Your information may be stored or processed outside Australia, including in the United States and other countries where our providers or their sub-processors operate. Where we disclose information overseas, we take reasonable steps to make sure it is handled in a way that is consistent with the Australian Privacy Principles.
10How long we keep it
- While your account is open, we keep your journal and settings so the Services work.
- If you clear data in the app (for example clearing a journal day or all trades), it is removed from your live account straight away.
- If you delete your account, your account, journal, trades, notes, screenshots and subscription record are permanently deleted. Any active subscription is cancelled first. Copies may remain in encrypted backups for a limited time until they are overwritten.
- Billing records may be kept by us and Stripe for as long as tax and accounting laws require.
11Security
We use reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information, including:
- encryption in transit (HTTPS) for all traffic;
- row-level security in our database, so every account's data is isolated and can only be read by that account;
- passwords handled by our authentication provider and stored only as hashes; and
- card payments handled entirely by Stripe.
No system is perfectly secure. Use a strong, unique password and keep it to yourself. If we become aware of a data breach that is likely to result in serious harm, we'll notify you and the regulator as required under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme.
12Your rights and choices
- Access and export: download a full backup of your data at any time from Settings → Backup & Restore, or ask us for a copy.
- Correction: edit or delete trades, notes and settings directly in the app, or ask us to correct anything you can't change yourself.
- Deletion: delete your account from Settings → Delete Account. This is permanent and also cancels your subscription.
- AI: AI features are optional. You can choose not to use them.
- Emails: you can opt out of any non-essential emails using the unsubscribe link. Account and billing emails are part of the service.
To make a request, email Dyltradesnq@gmail.com. We may need to verify it's you, and we'll respond within 30 days. If you're not happy with how we've handled a privacy concern, you can contact the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner at oaic.gov.au.
13Age requirement
AXIS is intended for people aged 18 and over. We don't knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe someone under 18 has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
14Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as AXIS changes. We'll update the date at the top of this page, and if a change is significant we'll let you know by email or in the app before it takes effect.
