Privacy Policy
Trader Journal is developed by Blue Alpine GmbH. This policy explains how the iOS app handles journal data, screenshots, voice transcripts, purchases, and optional AI requests.
Local-first storage
No account is required. Trades, plans, rules, journal entries, calculated metrics, preferences, AI summaries, and imported screenshot copies are stored in the app's private container on your device. Version 1.0 has no broker connection or cloud-sync service.
Optional AI features
Only when you explicitly invoke an AI feature, Trader Journal sends the information required for that request over an encrypted connection to the Blue Alpine AI proxy and its AI processing provider. Depending on the feature, this may include a selected screenshot, journal notes, personal rule names, emotions, aggregate weekly statistics, improvement goals, or a speech transcript.
The Blue Alpine proxy processes requests in memory and does not persist request bodies, screenshots, or journal content. The AI processing provider's standard commercial API policy retains inputs and outputs for up to 30 days, with longer exceptions where necessary to enforce its usage policy or comply with law. The original voice recording is not uploaded to the Blue Alpine proxy.
Purchases
Apple processes subscriptions. RevenueCat receives an anonymous app-user identifier and purchase receipt, product, and entitlement information so the app can unlock Pro features and restore purchases. Trader Journal does not receive payment-card details.
Analytics and tracking
Trader Journal version 1.0 contains no advertising SDK or external product-analytics service and does not track you across apps or websites.
Permissions
- The system Photos picker shares only the screenshots you choose.
- Microphone and Speech Recognition are used while dictating a journal note.
- Face ID or device authentication can optionally protect access to the app.
Retention, export, and deletion
Local data remains until you delete records, use Delete all data in Profile, or remove the app. You can create a local JSON export from Profile. RevenueCat and Apple retain purchase records as required to operate purchases and meet legal obligations.
Security
Trader Journal uses platform data protection for local files and HTTPS for network requests. It does not request brokerage passwords, exchange credentials, seed phrases, or order-execution access.
