Privacy Policy
How Alpha Trader handles account and portal information.
Last updated September 21, 2026.
Who is responsible
Jonathan Gustafson operates Alpha Trader at alpha-trader.online and the DevPlane account-access program. Privacy questions and requests are handled directly by the operator through existing private contact channels.
This policy covers the portal, registration, sign-in, access permissions and related account messages. Additional services will describe any different data practices before you use them.
Information we collect and why
- Account details: your name, email, password hash, authenticator setup secret and verification status, to create and protect your account.
- Access records: registration requests, approval decisions, service permissions and administrative changes, to enforce the access granted to you.
- Security and technical records: IP addresses, browser or device information, request times, login activity and errors, to operate the service, investigate misuse and resolve problems.
- Communications: support requests and account-email delivery records, to respond to you and provide requested account messages.
Do not send passwords, verification codes or unrelated sensitive information in support requests.
Authenticator and account security
Account protection uses a time-based code from your authenticator app. The identity service stores the shared setup secret needed to verify these codes. A mobile number is not required for registration, and SMS is not used for portal login.
Authenticator setup secrets and codes are not sent to Brevo, Twilio or AI services. Keep the setup QR code and secret private; someone who copies them can generate the same codes.
Sharing and service providers
The operator and authorized administrators can access information needed to manage accounts, permissions and security. Brevo is the selected provider for account emails; delivery involves the recipient's email provider. SMS account messaging is disabled. An earlier operator-authorized SMS setup test was submitted to Brevo before the switch to authenticator apps; its delivery record may remain with Brevo and in restricted setup records.
We do not sell portal account information or share it for third-party advertising. Information may be disclosed when legally required or necessary to investigate misuse and protect users or the service. Provider processing may take place in countries other than your own.
Registration and login details are not submitted to AI models for coding or review. If a separately enabled AI service sends your content to a model provider, its data handling will be explained before that feature is used.
Cookies and browser storage
The portal uses cookies and browser storage needed for sign-in, security and interface preferences. The portal does not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics. Blocking essential cookies can prevent login. External sites have their own privacy practices.
Retention and security
Account information is retained while your account is active. After closure, records may be retained as needed to resolve security incidents or disputes, meet legal obligations and complete backup rotation. Older copies may remain in restricted backups until those copies are replaced or removed. There is no promise of immediate erasure from every backup.
Access controls, secure connections and protected backups help safeguard information. No storage or transmission method can guarantee absolute security. Do not share your account or one-time codes.
Your choices and requests
You can ask to access, correct or delete your information, or close your account by contacting the operator through an existing private contact channel. We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Some information may need to be retained for the reasons described above. Additional rights may apply depending on where you live.
The service is intended for adults aged 18 or older. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact the operator so it can be reviewed and addressed.
Policy updates
We will update the date on this page when this policy changes. Material changes affecting existing accounts will be communicated through the portal or account email before taking effect.
