This Privacy Policy explains how OnlineAlgoTrading.com ("**OAT**," "**we**," "**us**") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit the Site or use our Trading Signals, Copy Trading, and Automated Trading Bot services (collectively, the "**Services**").

## 1. Information We Collect
We collect only what is reasonably necessary to provide, secure, and support the Services:
- **Account information:** name, email address, phone number (if provided). - **Payment information:** billing details processed by our third-party payment provider (e.g., Whop). We do not store full credit card numbers on our own servers. - **Usage data:** pages visited, features used, login timestamps, device/browser type, and IP address, collected for security, troubleshooting, and service improvement. - **Service-specific data:** information needed to operate the product you've subscribed to, such as your Telegram username/ID (for Signal delivery), or connection details required for Copy Trading or the Automated Trading Bot to function on your account. - **Communications:** messages you send us through support channels, including for troubleshooting or account verification.
We do not request or collect sensitive financial account credentials (such as your broker password) except where strictly required for a Copy Trading or Bot integration to function, and only through secure, industry-standard methods.

## 4. When We May Share Information
We only share information in limited, specific circumstances:

These providers are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes. - **Legal compliance:** if required to comply with a valid legal process, court order, or request from a regulatory or law enforcement authority in the United States or Canada. - **Business protection:** to investigate or prevent fraud, unauthorized account sharing, or violations of our Terms and Conditions. - **Business transfers:** in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction, subject to the same privacy commitments described here.
