Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 19, 2026
Trade Lock ("we," "us"), a trade name of Ayse Yildirim, Sole Proprietor, respects your privacy. This policy explains what we collect and why.
What we collect
- An anonymous account identifier (via Firebase Authentication) so your settings persist. This is not tied to your name, email, or identity.
- Your in-app choices: the tickers you select and the long/short intents you record. Stored via Google Firebase (Firestore).
- Your subscription status, via Apple's App Store.
- If you subscribe to Trade Lock Momentum Alerts: your name, email address and subscription status from PayPal (payment details are handled by PayPal and never stored by us).
- If you opt in to text alerts: your mobile phone number and your consent record.
What we do NOT collect
- We do not collect, transmit, or store which app(s) you choose to block. That selection is handled entirely on your device by Apple's Family Controls framework and never reaches our servers.
- We do not access your brokerage, place trades, or read your financial data.
- We do not track you across other apps or websites, and we do not sell your data.
Third-party services
- Google Firebase — authentication and database. See Google's privacy policy.
- Apple — subscriptions and payment. See Apple's privacy policy.
- PayPal — subscription billing for Momentum Alerts. See PayPal's privacy policy.
- Twilio — delivery of the text alerts you opt in to.
- Meta Pixel — advertising measurement on our website.
SMS / text message alerts
Text alerts from Trade Lock (Ayse Yildirim, Sole Proprietor, DBA Trade Lock) are sent only to people who opt in by entering their number and checking the consent box on our website. Message frequency varies, typically 0–5 per week. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time and HELP for help.
We do not sell or share your SMS opt-in data or personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Information sharing with subcontractors in support services, such as our messaging provider, is permitted only to deliver the alerts you requested. All other categories of information sharing exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
