Privacy Policy

ProprietaryTrading.com is a research and comparison platform for proprietary trading firms. We provide directory listings, match suggestions, comparison tools, industry data, news, and educational content to help traders research firms and make their own decisions.

We collect information that you provide directly and data generated automatically as you use the site.

• Account information: If you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, and any profile details you choose to provide.
• Contact and submissions: When you use our contact form, submit a correction, request firm details, or sign up for a firm account, we collect the information you submit so we can respond or process the request.
• Newsletter subscriptions: If you subscribe to the Weekly Brief or other emails, we collect your email address and optional name, along with the source page and any preferences you share.
• Cookies and analytics: We and our analytics providers use cookies, device identifiers, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site, improve performance, and measure the effectiveness of content and features.
• Server logs: Our servers automatically record information such as your IP address, browser type, referring page, requested pages, and timestamps. We use these logs for security, debugging, and abuse prevention.

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the directory, Match, Compare, and other tools;
• Respond to your questions, correction requests, and firm inquiries;
• Send newsletters and service updates you have requested;
• Understand aggregate site usage and diagnose technical issues;
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
• Comply with legal obligations and protect our rights.

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers and processors who help us run the site — for example, hosting, analytics, email delivery, and database services. These providers process information in connection with the services they provide to us and subject to their applicable terms and privacy commitments.

We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect our rights or users, or in connection with a business transfer such as a merger or acquisition.

We use cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, keep sessions secure, and measure site usage. Analytics providers may also set cookies or read identifiers to help us understand traffic patterns and feature usage.

You can manage cookies through your browser settings. Blocking certain cookies may affect site functionality or the accuracy of usage measurements.

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described in this policy or as required by law. Account and contact records are retained while your account or subscription is active and for a reasonable period afterward. Server logs and analytics data are retained for shorter periods, typically in aggregated or pseudonymous form.

We use commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, or alteration. No online service can guarantee absolute security, and we encourage you to use strong passwords and keep your account credentials safe.

Depending on your location, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, or to object to certain uses. You may also have the right to receive a copy of data you provided in a portable format.

To exercise these rights, or to ask questions about how we handle your data, please contact us.

ProprietaryTrading.com is not directed to children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 16, please contact us so we can delete it.

ProprietaryTrading.com operates in the United States and serves users in multiple countries. By using the site, you understand that your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries where our service providers operate. Data protection laws may differ between jurisdictions.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will revise the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated policy.
