Privacy
The short version: your trading journal is stored on your device and Aurith never receives it. The only personal information Aurith handles is what comes with a purchase or an email you send.
Who is responsible
Aurith Journal is operated by Aurith, a sole proprietorship based in Ontario, Canada. Aurith is accountable for personal information under its control under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). Questions or requests about privacy go to journal@aurith.ca.
Your journal data: stored only on your device
Trades, notes, tags, accounts, prop-firm settings and preferences are stored in your web browser's own storage (IndexedDB and local storage) for journal.aurith.ca, on the device you use. They are not transmitted to Aurith or to anyone else. Aurith cannot see, recover, correct or delete them for you, because Aurith never has them.
Files you import are read inside your browser and are not uploaded. Backup files you download are saved wherever you choose and are yours to protect.
Clearing your browser's site data, using a private window, or uninstalling the browser can erase the journal. Keep a backup.
Licence checks
If you activate Pro, the journal sends your licence key and the product identifier directly from your browser to the shop that sold the licence (Gumroad, or Lemon Squeezy if the shop changes) to confirm the key is valid, and repeats that check about once a week. The shop's reply — whether the key is valid, the plan, and the email address on the purchase — is stored in your browser so the journal can show which licence is active. No trade data is ever included in that request.
Purchases
Purchases are processed by Gumroad, Inc., which acts as the merchant of record: it collects your payment details, name, email address, country and tax information under its own privacy policy. Aurith never receives your card details. Gumroad shares order information with Aurith (such as email address, product, price, country and date) so that Aurith can provide support, process refunds and keep the business records required by tax law. Canadian tax law generally requires those records to be kept for six years.
Emails you send
If you write to Aurith, your message and address are used to answer you and kept only as long as needed for that and for any related purchase record.
Hosting
The website is served by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes technical request information such as IP address, browser type and the page requested in order to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. Aurith does not use that information to identify you.
What Aurith does not do
- No analytics or advertising scripts, and no tracking cookies.
- No accounts or passwords.
- No selling, renting or trading of personal information.
- No marketing email unless you have expressly asked for it.
- No broker logins, API keys or trading credentials are ever requested.
Where information is processed
Gumroad and Cloudflare may process information outside Canada, including in the United States, where it may be accessible to authorities under local law.
Your rights
You may ask what personal information Aurith holds about you, ask for it to be corrected, or withdraw consent to its use, subject to legal record-keeping requirements. Write to journal@aurith.ca and you will receive a reply within 30 days. If you are not satisfied, you may complain to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. If you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you also have the rights given by the GDPR, including the right to complain to your local data protection authority.
Age
Aurith Journal is intended for adults who have reached the age of majority where they live.
Changes
If this policy changes, the new version will be posted here with a new effective date. A change that affects how your information is handled will be stated plainly at the top of this page.
