The short version
- We collect what we need to run your account, your courses and the tools you choose to use. We do not sell your data and we do not run advertising or analytics trackers.
- Payments are handled by Stripe; we never see your card number. Broker logins and payout details are stored encrypted.
- To protect paid videos, playback shows a watermark tied to your account and we log playback and capture attempts.
- If you use XSR AI, what you send it is processed by Google's Gemini service to produce the answer.
- If you complete a course, your certificate can be publicly verified with its code, showing your name.
- You can ask to see, correct, export or delete your data at contact@xsrtrade.com.
This summary is here to help you read the document. The full text below is what applies.
01Who is responsible for your data
Visionerse Ltd, trading as XSR Trading Community, is responsible for your personal data (the "data user" under Hong Kong's Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance, and the collecting non-government agency under Taiwan's Personal Data Protection Act). You can reach us about anything in this policy at contact@xsrtrade.com — please put "Privacy" in the subject line.
02What we collect
| Category | What it includes | Where it comes from |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Name, email address, password (stored only as a one-way hash), email verification status. If you sign in with Google: your Google name, email address and profile picture. | You, or Google when you choose Google sign-in |
| Profile | Country, trading experience, main market and instrument, your goal and motivation, preferred course format, display name, time zone. | You, when you complete onboarding or edit your account |
| Purchases | What you bought, the price, fees and currency, payment status and the payment provider's reference. For crypto, the transaction hash and network. We do not receive your card number. | You, Stripe, the public blockchain |
| Coaching | Your availability, time zone and the focus you want for 1-on-1 sessions. | You |
| Learning | Lesson progress, quiz and assessment results, certificates. | Your use of XSR Academy |
| Trader tools | Journal trades, notes, tags, screenshots and statements you upload, strategies, prop-firm accounts, costs and payouts, and XSR AI requests. If you connect a broker: the connection credentials you enter (encrypted) and the trade data the broker returns. | You, and the broker or platform you connect |
| Referral programme | If you join: your referral code, payout method and payout details (encrypted), payouts and your acceptance of the programme terms. If you were referred: which referrer's link you used. | You, our referral records |
| Security and device | IP address, approximate location (country and region derived from the IP address), browser and device type, sign-in attempts, active sessions, and a log of security-relevant actions on your account. | Your device, automatically |
| Video protection | Playback sessions, the amount streamed, browser type, approximate location, and screen-capture or tampering events detected by the player. | Your device, while you watch paid videos |
| Messages | What you tell us when you email us. | You |
We do not ask for sensitive data such as health, religion or political views, and we ask you not to put it in the journal or in messages to us. We do not collect Discord data: joining our Discord is between you and Discord.
03How we use it, and why
| Purpose | Data used | Legal basis (where the law asks for one) |
|---|---|---|
| Create and secure your account, sign you in, verify your email | Account, security | Performing our contract with you; our legitimate interest in security |
| Deliver courses, coaching, certificates and the tools | Account, profile, learning, coaching, trader tools | Performing our contract with you |
| Take payments, give access, handle refunds and disputes | Account, purchases | Performing our contract; legal obligations (accounting, tax) |
| Run the referral programme and pay commissions | Referral programme, purchases (masked) | Performing our contract with the referrer; legitimate interest |
| Protect paid content from sharing and piracy | Video protection, security, account | Our legitimate interest in protecting our content and students who paid |
| Prevent fraud and abuse, and keep the Services secure | Security, account, purchases | Legitimate interest; legal obligations |
| Answer your messages and support requests | Messages, account | Performing our contract; legitimate interest |
| Improve the courses and the Services | Learning and usage within our own systems, in aggregate | Legitimate interest |
| Comply with the law and enforce our terms | Any, as needed | Legal obligations; legitimate interest |
We use your profile answers to tailor your dashboard and the course suggestions you see. We do not make decisions about you based solely on automated processing that have legal or similarly significant effects, apart from automatic security measures such as ending a session after repeated capture detections, which you can ask us to review.
Direct marketing. The only emails we send are service messages, such as sign-in verification codes. We do not use your personal data for direct marketing, and we will not start without first asking for your consent.
04XSR AI and Google Gemini
XSR AI features are optional. When you use them, we send the following to Google's Gemini API, which processes it on our behalf to produce a response:
- what you type or upload in that request (including up to 4 screenshots, or the statement or screenshot you ask it to read), and the earlier messages in that conversation;
- the context the answer needs: today's date and your time zone, and short labels from your own data such as your prop-firm account names, firms, sizes and statuses, your strategy names and the symbols you trade.
We do not send your password, payment details or broker credentials. We keep the result of a statement or screenshot extraction with your journal import so you can check it. We do not use your content to train AI models, and XSR AI never gives trading advice.
06Public certificate verification
Each XSR Academy certificate has a verification code. Anyone who has the code can open its verification page and see the holder's name, the course, the issue and expiry dates, the score, grade, hours and skills, and whether it was revoked (with the date and a short reason). That is what makes a certificate checkable by someone you choose to show it to.
We only publish a certificate page once a certificate is issued, and only people with the code can find it. If you do not want your certificate to be publicly verifiable, email us and we will withdraw its public page.
07Where your data is processed
We are based in Hong Kong, and our service providers operate data centres in other countries, which can include the United States, Singapore and member states of the European Union. When your data is transferred outside Hong Kong or Taiwan, we use providers that are contractually bound to protect it to a standard comparable with this policy, and we transfer only what is needed for the purpose.
09How long we keep it
| Data | How long |
|---|---|
| Account, profile, learning and trader-tool data | While your account is open. Deleted within 30 days after you ask us to close it, except as below. |
| Orders, payments, refunds, commissions and payouts | 7 years after the transaction, for accounting and tax law |
| Security, audit and video-protection logs | Up to 24 months |
| Sign-in attempts | 24 hours |
| Email verification codes | Expire after 10 minutes; deleted within a day |
| Sessions | Until they expire or you sign out; ended sessions are deleted after 7 days |
| Emails with us | Up to 3 years after the conversation ends |
Records we must keep after an account is closed are kept separately and used only for the reason we keep them.
10How we protect it
- All connections to the site use HTTPS encryption.
- Passwords are stored as salted one-way hashes (scrypt); verification codes are stored only as hashes.
- Broker credentials and referral payout details are encrypted in the database (AES-256-GCM).
- Session and video logs store a keyed hash of your IP address instead of the address itself.
- Access to personal data is limited to the people who need it to run the Services, and administrative actions are logged.
No system is completely secure. If a breach affects your personal data in a way that creates a real risk to you, we will tell you and the relevant authorities as the law requires.
11Your rights
Depending on where you live, you have the right to:
- ask whether we hold data about you, and get a copy of it;
- correct data that is wrong or incomplete (most of it you can edit yourself in your account);
- ask us to delete your data, or to stop collecting, processing or using it;
- receive your data in a portable format — the journal can already be exported as CSV, JSON or Markdown;
- object to processing based on our legitimate interests, and withdraw any consent you gave;
- complain to a data protection authority — for example the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data in Hong Kong, or the competent authority in Taiwan.
To use any of these rights, email contact@xsrtrade.com from your account's email address. We may need to confirm your identity. We answer access requests within 15 days and other requests within 30 days, and tell you if we need more time as the law allows. Requests are free of charge.
Closing your account. Email us to close your account and delete its data. Deletion is permanent: your journal, progress and certificates cannot be recovered, and access to any programme you bought ends. Export anything you want to keep first.
