Privacy Policy

OptionsKing ("OptionsKing", "we", "us") is a privacy-first, advisory-only tool that helps you evaluate options-selling ideas and track how your own trades played out. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to our website and to the OptionsKing Android and iOS apps (together, the "Services").

Last updated: October 20, 2026

1. What we do not collect

• No brokerage access. OptionsKing never connects to, links to, or reads any brokerage or financial account. It cannot see your holdings, balances, or orders. Recommendations are generated from market data alone.
• No brokerage or financial credentials. We never ask for or store account logins, API keys, or trading credentials.
• No selling of data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
• No sensitive tracking. We do not collect your contacts, precise location, or biometric data.

2. What we collect and why

a. Data you keep on your device (default)

By default, the information you create in the app — your watchlist, strategy and safety settings, income goal, the trades you log (including whether they were kept or assigned), and your learning progress (which lessons you have finished and how you answered their check questions) — is stored only on your device using standard iOS and Android storage. We do not receive or store it unless you turn on cloud backup (below).

b. Account information (only if you sign in)

Signing in is optional. If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive only your name and email address from Google to identify your account. We do not receive your Google password. We use this solely to give you an account and, if you enable it, to sync your data across your devices.

If you choose Sign in with Apple, we receive only the name and email address you agree to share, plus the account identifier Apple issues us. We do not receive your Apple password. If you pick "Hide My Email," Apple gives us a private relay address instead of your real one, and that relay address is all we ever store. We use this the same way as above and nothing else.

c. Cloud backup and sync (optional)

If you sign in and enable cloud backup, the app data described in (a) — your settings, watchlist, goal, logged trades, and learning progress — is stored on our servers under your account so it is backed up and can sync between your devices. This data is tied to your account identifier and is never used to generate recommendations. You can turn sync off and delete this data at any time (see Section 6).

d. Market-data requests

To generate a recommendation or refresh a quote, the app asks our backend to fetch delayed market data for the ticker you choose. The request contains only the ticker, the time window, and any share/cash amount you typed in for position sizing — never your identity or holdings. No personally identifiable information is sent to the third-party market-data providers. We retain non-personal, per-ticker market statistics (such as implied-volatility history) to improve the quality of the analysis; this market data is not linked to you or any individual.

e. Diagnostics

We may collect limited, anonymized diagnostic and usage information (for example, which screens are used, error types, and performance timings) to keep the Services reliable.

In the apps and the web app, the usage part is a set of daily counts: how often the app was opened, which tabs were viewed, and how many times each thing you can do in the app was done that day, for example opening or finishing a lesson, answering a check question, running a scan, changing a filter, placing or logging a trade, adding a ticker to your watchlist, or changing a setting. The counts are tied to a random identifier created on your device, not to your account, and they name the action only. They never say which lesson, which answer, which ticker, which trade, which setting value, or what amount. On the web, so that one person using two browsers on the same network is not counted twice, each day's counts also carry a code computed from the network address the counts arrived from, using a key that changes every day and is deleted within a week. Your IP address itself is never stored, and a code from one day cannot be matched to another day. Web counts also say whether the browser was on a computer or on a phone or tablet. We work that out from the way your browser describes itself, and only the answer is kept, never the description. You can turn the counts off in Settings under Share anonymous usage.

The apps, the web app and this website also send these usage events, plus which screens you move through and where you tap, to PostHog, a product analytics service that processes them on our behalf. That includes recordings of how a screen or page was used, which help us find and fix problems. Your passwords, name and email are always hidden on your device before anything is sent. If something in the app goes wrong, the error and where in our code it happened are sent too. On the website, PostHog also keeps the campaign tag of the link you arrived from. If you are signed in, the events carry a one-way code derived from your account, never your email, name or account ID, so your phone and your browser count as one person. We do not send PostHog your location, and we have it discard your IP address. The same Share anonymous usage switch turns all of this off.

The public pages of our website (guides, calculators, and ticker pages) use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which measures page views, referring sites, and page speed. It sets no cookies, does not fingerprint your device, and does not follow you across other sites. The app itself does not load it.

When you reach our website or the web app from somewhere else, we also count where you came from. That means the site or app that sent you (for example YouTube, TikTok or a search engine), taken from the referring address your browser reports or from the in-app browser you are using; the page you landed on; and any campaign tag on our own links. We keep only the referring site's name, never the page you were reading there. It is counted once per browser tab, stored as daily totals with no identifier and no cookie, and cannot be tied to you. The Share anonymous usage switch in the web app turns it off on every page of the site. The iOS and Android apps never send it.

3. How your data is stored and secured

• On-device data is held in the operating system's standard app storage and is removed when you uninstall the app.
• Account and cloud-backup data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the United States. Access requires a verified sign-in token, and each user can only reach their own data.
• Connections between the apps, the website, and our backend use encryption in transit (HTTPS).

No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.

4. Who we share data with

We do not sell your data. We share limited data only with service providers that help us operate the Services:

• Google — to provide optional sign-in (we receive your name and email; Google's own privacy policy governs their processing).
• Amazon Web Services — to host our backend and, if you enable it, your cloud-backup data.
• Cloudflare — to serve and protect our website, and to provide the cookieless website analytics described in Section 2(e).
• Market-data providers — to retrieve delayed quotes and option data; these requests contain no personal information.

We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the Services.

5. Your choices and rights

• Use without an account. You can use the core app without signing in; your data then stays on your device.
• Turn sync on or off. Cloud backup is opt-in and can be disabled in Settings.
• Access and delete. You can delete your logged data in the app, and you can request deletion of your account and any cloud-backup data by contacting us (see Section 10). Uninstalling the app removes on-device data.
• Sign out. Signing out stops syncing on that device.

Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, UK, or California), you may have additional rights to access, correct, port, or delete your personal information. We honor these requests as required by applicable law.

6. Data retention and deletion

On-device data persists until you delete it or uninstall the app. Account and cloud-backup data is retained while your account is active and deleted after you request account deletion, except where we must retain limited records to comply with legal obligations. Non-personal market statistics are retained on an aggregate, per-ticker basis and are not associated with you.

7. Children's privacy

OptionsKing is intended for adults (18+) and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.

8. Where data is processed

Our backend and any cloud-backup data are hosted in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide notice within the app or on this page. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
