Privacy Policy
OptionsKing ("OptionsKing", "we", "us") is a privacy-first, advisory-only tool that helps you evaluate options-selling ideas and track how your own trades played out. This Privacy Policy explains what we collect, why, and the choices you have. It applies to our website and to the OptionsKing Android and iOS apps (together, the "Services").
Last updated: July 22, 2026
1. What we do not collect
- No brokerage access. OptionsKing never connects to, links to, or reads any brokerage or financial account. It cannot see your holdings, balances, or orders. Recommendations are generated from market data alone.
- No brokerage or financial credentials. We never ask for or store account logins, API keys, or trading credentials.
- No selling of data. We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information, and we do not use it for third-party advertising.
- No sensitive tracking. We do not collect your contacts, precise location, or biometric data.
2. What we collect and why
a. Data you keep on your device (default)
By default, the information you create in the app — your watchlist, strategy and safety settings, income goal, and the trades you log (including whether they were kept or assigned) — is stored only on your device using standard iOS and Android storage. We do not receive or store it unless you turn on cloud backup (below).
b. Account information (only if you sign in)
Signing in is optional. If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive only your name and email address from Google to identify your account. We do not receive your Google password. We use this solely to give you an account and, if you enable it, to sync your data across your devices.
c. Cloud backup and sync (optional)
If you sign in and enable cloud backup, the app data described in (a) — your settings, watchlist, goal, and logged trades — is stored on our servers under your account so it is backed up and can sync between your devices. This data is tied to your account identifier and is never used to generate recommendations. You can turn sync off and delete this data at any time (see Section 6).
d. Market-data requests
To generate a recommendation or refresh a quote, the app asks our backend to fetch delayed market data for the ticker you choose. The request contains only the ticker, the time window, and any share/cash amount you typed in for position sizing — never your identity or holdings. No personally identifiable information is sent to the third-party market-data providers. We retain non-personal, per-ticker market statistics (such as implied-volatility history) to improve the quality of the analysis; this market data is not linked to you or any individual.
e. Diagnostics
We may collect limited, anonymized diagnostic and usage information (for example, which screens are used, error types, and performance timings) to keep the Services reliable. This never includes your trades, holdings, dollar amounts, positions, or contact information.
3. How your data is stored and secured
- On-device data is held in the operating system's standard app storage and is removed when you uninstall the app.
- Account and cloud-backup data is stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure in the United States. Access requires a verified sign-in token, and each user can only reach their own data.
- Connections between the apps, the website, and our backend use encryption in transit (HTTPS).
No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but we take reasonable measures to protect your information.
4. Who we share data with
We do not sell your data. We share limited data only with service providers that help us operate the Services:
- Google — to provide optional sign-in (we receive your name and email; Google's own privacy policy governs their processing).
- Amazon Web Services — to host our backend and, if you enable it, your cloud-backup data.
- Market-data providers — to retrieve delayed quotes and option data; these requests contain no personal information.
We may also disclose information if required by law or to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users and the Services.
5. Your choices and rights
- Use without an account. You can use the core app without signing in; your data then stays on your device.
- Turn sync on or off. Cloud backup is opt-in and can be disabled in Settings.
- Access and delete. You can delete your logged data in the app, and you can request deletion of your account and any cloud-backup data by contacting us (see Section 10). Uninstalling the app removes on-device data.
- Sign out. Signing out stops syncing on that device.
Depending on where you live (for example, the EEA, UK, or California), you may have additional rights to access, correct, port, or delete your personal information. We honor these requests as required by applicable law.
6. Data retention and deletion
On-device data persists until you delete it or uninstall the app. Account and cloud-backup data is retained while your account is active and deleted after you request account deletion, except where we must retain limited records to comply with legal obligations. Non-personal market statistics are retained on an aggregate, per-ticker basis and are not associated with you.
7. Children's privacy
OptionsKing is intended for adults (18+) and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
8. Where data is processed
Our backend and any cloud-backup data are hosted in the United States. If you access the Services from outside the United States, you understand that your information may be processed in the United States, where data-protection laws may differ from those in your country.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will change the "Last updated" date above and, for material changes, provide notice within the app or on this page. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
