Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to the Share Trading For Living website, available at sharetradingforliving.com, and related STFL web-based research, educational and account services.

Third-party websites and services linked from STFL operate under their own privacy policies. Users should review those policies before providing personal information.

STFL and its service providers may use cookies, browser storage, pixels, web beacons and similar technologies to operate the website, maintain sessions, remember preferences, measure usage, improve security and support advertising.

Users can manage cookies through their browser settings. Blocking essential cookies or storage may prevent authentication, preferences or other website features from working correctly.

STFL uses Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the website. Google may process information such as the page visited, browser and device information, approximate location derived from an IP address and interaction events.

This information helps STFL analyse usage, diagnose problems and improve website performance and content.

STFL may use Google AdSense or other advertising services on selected public content pages. Advertising may not be active on every page or at every time.

Third-party vendors, including Google, may place and read cookies on a visitor's browser or use web beacons, IP addresses and similar technologies as a result of advertisements being served on the website.

Google and its advertising partners may use advertising cookies to serve and measure advertisements based on a visitor's use of STFL and other websites, subject to applicable consent and advertising settings.

STFL uses Clerk to provide account registration, sign-in, session management and authentication functionality. Information submitted during these activities may be processed by Clerk according to its own terms and privacy practices.

If paid subscriptions or purchases are enabled, payment details may be collected and processed by an authorised third-party payment processor. STFL does not intend to store complete payment-card credentials on its own application servers.

STFL may retain transaction identifiers, subscription status, payment status, invoice information and related records where required for service delivery, accounting, dispute resolution or legal compliance.

Personal information may be shared with service providers that support authentication, hosting, analytics, security, communications, advertising, databases or payments. They receive information only for the relevant service and remain subject to their applicable contractual and legal obligations.

Information may also be disclosed when reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, protect users, investigate fraud or security incidents, enforce applicable terms, or complete a legitimate business transfer.

STFL does not sell personal information as a standalone commercial database.

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including account operation, security, contractual requirements, dispute resolution, accounting and applicable legal obligations.

Retention periods may differ according to the type of information and the service involved. Aggregated or de-identified information may be retained for analytical purposes where it no longer identifies an individual.

STFL uses reasonable administrative, technical and organisational measures intended to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.

No online system or method of storage can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Users should protect their account credentials and report suspected unauthorised access promptly.

Some service providers may process information in countries other than the visitor's country of residence. Where applicable, information will be handled subject to relevant contractual safeguards, service-provider terms and legal requirements.

A request may require reasonable identity verification. Certain information may need to be retained where required or permitted by applicable law.

STFL is not designed to collect personal information from children. If a parent or guardian believes that a child has provided personal information without appropriate authorisation, they should contact STFL so the matter can be reviewed.

This Privacy Policy may be updated when STFL introduces new services, changes its data practices, adds service providers or responds to legal and regulatory developments.

The updated policy will be published on this page with a revised last-updated date.
