Privacy Policy

Data controller

Black Ship Media LLC, 30 N Gould St, STE R, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA, see Imprint. Contact: support@blackship.media.

Data we process

Account and profile data (email, name, locale, timezone); trade and trading-account data you import manually or via a broker connection; trading plans you create for an account, including optional answers such as your motivation and goals; learning preferences you explicitly save; usage, device and log data; support correspondence.

Purposes and legal bases

Providing the trading journal and AI-assisted reviews and performing the contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR); security, abuse-prevention and product improvement (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); complying with legal obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR); the waitlist and email updates based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

AI-assisted features

When you request an AI trade reflection, a weekly review or an answer to a journal question, KaiTrader sends the journal information needed for that request to the configured AI provider; for a journal question that is the closed trades, notes and rule results of the period you asked about. The generated text can be incomplete or inaccurate, is not investment advice, and is not used to place or execute trades.

Purchases via Paddle (reseller)

Subscriptions are sold by Paddle.com Market Limited (30 Old Bailey, London EC4M 7AU, United Kingdom) or, for buyers in the USA, Paddle.com Inc., acting as merchant of record. Paddle processes your payment and billing data as an independent controller under its own privacy notice (https://www.paddle.com/legal/privacy) and issues the invoice. The Paddle script loads on pricing and payment pages to show local prices in the applicable currency, including taxes. Paddle uses your IP address or selected billing country for these local price quotes. We receive from Paddle only what we need to provide your subscription (e.g. customer and subscription IDs, plan and status).

Waitlist and email updates

When you join the waitlist, we store your email address, your language, the version of the consent text and the time of your sign-up and your confirmation (double opt-in) with Brevo. We use the address to send you updates on KaiTrader and the launch offer. The legal basis is your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

You can withdraw your consent at any time via the link in every email. Your address then stays on Brevo's blocklist so that you receive no further emails.

Brevo records for us whether and when you open these emails and click their links, so we can see which updates land.

Three months after the launch email, we delete the waitlist, including sign-ups that were never confirmed.

International transfers

Black Ship Media LLC is based in the USA, and some processors (including OpenAI, Sentry and Umami) are in the USA; transfers rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses and/or the EU-US Data Privacy Framework where applicable. Application data is hosted in the EU (Hetzner).

Retention

We keep data while your account exists and delete it afterwards, subject to statutory retention periods; billing records held by Paddle follow Paddle's retention.

Uploaded reports (MT5 HTML or CSV) are deleted after a successful import. If an import fails or skips rows, we keep the file for up to 90 days to analyse and fix the error; only our operations staff can access it. It is also deleted when your account is deleted, and your data export includes it while it is stored.

Your rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability and objection (Art. 15–21 GDPR), and the right to complain to a supervisory authority.

Contact support@blackship.media to exercise your rights.

Technically necessary session cookies support login (§ 25(2) TDDDG). Umami is configured without URL search parameters or fragments and respects Do Not Track. Supportwunder loads only when you open support. KaiTrader currently loads no affiliate-tracking pixel.
