Privacy policy
Last updated:
This document is a working skeleton, not a final policy. What we know for certain about this website is written below; anything that depends on a decision not yet made is marked with double brackets.
Who handles your data
Javier Andrade, trading as El Trader Inteligente, operating from Florida, United States. You can reach him using the form on the contact page.
What we collect, and only when you give it
This website is static and does not build browsing profiles. The only data we hold is what you type into a form:
| Form | Data | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Waitlist | Name (optional) and email address | To tell you once, by hand, when the next group opens |
| Question | Name (optional), email and message | To answer your question |
| Application | The answers you give on the form | To decide together whether the mentorship suits you |
| Review | Name, email, rating and text | To publish your review if you give permission, and to reach you |
Every one of these is a message that a person reads and answers. There is no mailing list, no automated sequence and no newsletter.
We never ask for or store card details.
Legal basis
- Consent for the waitlist. You give it by ticking the box on the form. To withdraw it, write from the contact page and the address is deleted — there is no automated unsubscribe link, because there is no automated mail to unsubscribe from.
- Legitimate interest for replying to questions and applications.
- Performance of a contract for anything related to a purchase.
Who it is shared with
Only the providers needed to run the website, and no one else. We do not sell or pass data to third parties for their own marketing.
- Hosting: Netlify (Netlify, Inc., United States). Netlify serves every page of this site and keeps standard server logs, which include the IP address your request came from. Netlify’s privacy policy.
- Forms: Netlify Forms (the same company). Everything you submit is stored in the site’s Netlify account and a copy is emailed on.
- Email: Google (Google LLC, United States). Form submissions arrive in a Gmail inbox and replies are sent from it. There is no email marketing provider, because nothing is ever sent in bulk.
- Live classes: Zoom (Zoom Communications, Inc., United States), used only once you are a student.
- Class recordings: Google Drive (Google LLC, United States). Each group’s recordings sit in a folder shared only with the students who were in that group. Nobody outside your group is given access, and no recording is published anywhere.
[[PAYMENTS — nothing is sold through the site yet. Whichever processor is used must be named here before the first payment is taken, and it will handle card details on its own systems.]]
Every provider above is in the United States, which is also where this business operates. This site is written for readers in the United States and Latin America and is not aimed at the European Union.
Recording the classes
Every live session is recorded, and the recording is shared afterwards with the people who were in that session. You will be told this before you enrol and again at the start of each class, and Zoom shows its own recording indicator throughout.
Florida law requires everyone in a recorded conversation to consent to it, which is why your agreement is asked for in writing on the application form, before you ever join a session, rather than assumed. If you do not want to be recorded, say so there and we will talk about it — the recording is only so students can review a class they attended, and it is not worth anyone being uncomfortable over.
Recordings are never sold, never used in advertising, and never shown to another group.
How long it is kept
| What | How long | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Waitlist address | Until you ask to come off it, or until the list stops being used | It exists to tell you about one thing |
| Questions and applications | Up to 12 months after the conversation ends | Long enough to pick up a thread, then gone |
| Reviews | For as long as the review is published, and deleted if you withdraw it | |
| Class recordings | 12 months after the group finishes, then deleted | Long enough to revise from |
| Payment and tax records for enrolled students | 7 years | Required for tax, and not a choice |
Nothing here is kept “just in case”. Where a period is a choice rather than a legal duty, it is set short deliberately: data that has been deleted cannot be lost in a breach.
Your rights
You can ask to see the data held about you, to have it corrected, or to have it deleted, using the form on the contact page. Requests are answered within 30 days.
This is offered to everyone who asks, whichever country you are in. It is worth being straight about why: this is a one-person business that is far too small to be captured by Florida’s Digital Bill of Rights, by California’s privacy law, or by most of the statutes that would otherwise force the point. The rights above are given because they are reasonable, not because a regulator is watching.
If something goes wrong
If data held here is ever exposed — a breached account, a mistaken share — you will be told, and within 30 days. Florida law requires this of every business regardless of size, sole traders included, and it is the right thing to do in any case.
Minors
You must be at least 18 to buy the mentorship. That is the age at which a contract signed in Florida binds the person who signed it, so a purchase by anyone younger is not something this business can rely on.
The site is not aimed at children and no data is knowingly collected from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has sent something through a form here, write from the contact page and it will be deleted.
Changes
If this policy changes, the date at the top will be updated.
