Privacy policy
Last updated: 2026-09-07
1. Who we are
EdgeArena (enterprise number 0880.084.265, VAT BE 0880.084.265, Belgium) is the data controller for personal data processed through this website and app. Contact: privacy@edgearena.example.
2. What we collect
Account data (email, display name, hashed password), simulated trading activity, device and usage data (IP address, browser, pages visited), Boost Pass subscription status and invoices, private journal notes and tags you write about your trades, who invited you (invite link), your e-mail preferences and a log of the notification e-mails we sent you, and — before a payout — identity verification and payout details.
3. Why we process it
To run your account and the competitions (contract), to prevent fraud and multi-accounting (legitimate interest), to comply with legal obligations (e.g. anti-money-laundering rules on payouts), and — with your consent — for analytics and marketing attribution.
4. Cookies
Necessary cookies keep you logged in and remember your preferences. Analytics, marketing and support cookies are only set if you accept them in the cookie banner. You can change your choice at any time. The support chat is provided by Botpress Inc. (botpress.com) and is only loaded after you allow “Support”; when you are logged in, your handle, display name and language are shared with it so we can help you — never your e-mail address or payout details. You can withdraw consent at any time via “Cookie settings” in the footer.
5. Sharing
We share data with processors that help us run the service (hosting, email, identity verification, payout providers and Stripe for Boost Pass billing) under data-processing agreements. Card details are handled by Stripe only and never reach our servers. We do not sell personal data.
6. Retention
Account data is kept while your account is active and for up to 5 years after closure where required for legal or accounting purposes. Simulated trade history may be kept in anonymised form to train our ranking model.
7. Your rights
Under the GDPR you can access, rectify, erase, restrict or port your data and object to processing based on legitimate interest. You can also lodge a complaint with the Belgian Data Protection Authority.
8. Security
We use encryption in transit, hashed passwords and access controls. No system is perfectly secure; please use a strong, unique password.
9. Changes
We will post any changes to this policy here and, for significant changes, notify you in-app or by email.
