Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 15, 2026
1. Our Commitment & Zero-Knowledge Architecture
At Cortex Terminal, we respect your privacy and confidentiality. Our terminal is architected around the core principle of Privacy by Design.
Local Security Guarantee:
Cortex Terminal NEVER stores, transmits, or uploads your MetaTrader 5 account passwords to our cloud servers. Communication between the terminal interface and your MT5 broker terminal happens exclusively on your own local machine via local WebSocket IPC (127.0.0.1 / localhost).
2. Information We Collect
We collect only the minimal data strictly required to deliver the subscription software:
- Account Credentials: Email address and authentication tokens used to manage your software license.
- Billing Information: Payment transactions are handled entirely by certified PCI-DSS compliant payment gateways (Paddle / Stripe). We never store full credit or debit card numbers on our infrastructure.
- Risk Profile Settings: Your customized risk preferences (such as daily loss limits, R:R targets, and max lots) are synced to your user account so your rules remain consistent across devices.
3. How We Use Information
Your data is used strictly for legitimate business purposes:
- To activate and verify your subscription license.
- To deliver critical security updates and technical customer support.
- To enforce risk guardrail rules chosen by you in Cortex Guardian.
- To prevent fraud, piracy, and unauthorized multi-user license exploitation.
4. No Sale of Personal or Trading Data
We do not sell, rent, monetize, or disclose your personal data or trade orders to third parties, brokers, or marketing networks. Your proprietary trading strategies and execution history remain strictly your own intellectual property.
5. Your Data Rights (GDPR & CCPA)
Under international privacy frameworks including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you retain the right to access, rectify, export, or permanently delete your account data. To request data deletion, contact privacy@cortexterminal.app.
