Hecatek SARL, SIREN 930741277, 183 Chemin des Négadoux, 83140 Six-Fours-les-Plages, France.
Contact: infos@hecatek.com

2. Data collected

  • Identity and account: name, email address, login information linked to the account;
  • Trading data: instruments traded, entry and exit prices, dates, notes, tags, screenshots of trades imported or created in the application;
  • Backtest and simulation data: replay sessions, simulation parameters, simulated results, test histories;
  • Session and technical data: NextAuth session token, language preferences, technical connection and usage logs necessary for the operation and security of the Service;
  • Payment data: payment status, subscription, invoices, transaction identifiers. Full banking details are processed exclusively by Stripe and are not stored by Hecatek SARL. At the time of payment, we also collect billing data: name or company name, billing address and, for a business, SIREN number and VAT number; as well as proof of your request for immediate performance (box ticked on the payment page);
  • Sign in with Google: if you choose this sign-in method, Google provides us with your email address, your name and your avatar;
  • Broker integrations (MetaTrader 5, Topstep): broker account identifier, synchronisation token (stored only in hashed form on our servers) and history of imported orders. The Topstep API key remains stored in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers;
  • Trading preparation and mindset (Psychology tab): pre-session checklist and plan (for example “trading plan reviewed”, analysis carried out), trading mindset chosen from a list (calm, confident, frustrated, stressed), market sentiment, and post-session notes and review (plan followed, mistakes, areas for improvement) that you enter yourself, stored on your account in order to provide you with your statistics. This tab is used to prepare and review your trading sessions: it is not intended to assess your health, and no health information is requested;
  • AI psychology coach: the content of your conversations is sent to the AI engine to generate the response and is then not retained; only usage counters are recorded;
  • Two-factor authentication (optional): encrypted authentication secret, backup codes stored in hashed form, and a trusted-device cookie if you tick “Don't ask again on this computer for 30 days”;
  • Support: reply email address, category, subject and content of your message;
  • Sign-up origin: origin of the visit during which you created your account (for example "Instagram ad", "Google search" or "direct access"), read from the link used or the referring site, without any cookie or other tracker. It is linked to your account to measure the effectiveness of our campaigns. Visits to the site are counted in aggregate, per day and per source, without any IP address or identifier;
  • Partner programme: see section 2a below.

2a. Partner programme

EloTrades runs a partner programme: partners (content creators, trader communities) are given a link and a promotional code. This programme concerns three categories of persons.

a) Customers referred by a partner. If you accept the affiliate cookie after clicking on a partner's link, or if you enter their code when subscribing, we record your attribution to that partner: your account identifier, the pseudonym assigned to you (for example “C-7F3A2B”), the partner, the origin (link, code or both), the discount and rates applied, your Stripe customer identifier, the dates of the click, of the attribution and of the first payment, as well as the amounts excluding VAT of your invoices and of any refunds. The attribution is fixed at your first payment.

This data is used to apply your discount, to calculate any commission owed to the partner and to prevent fraud. No partner sees your name or your email address. A paid partner receives pseudonymised data about you, solely for the purpose of calculating and checking their commissions: your pseudonym, your subscription plan and billing frequency, dates and amounts excluding VAT. An unpaid “Community” partner sees only aggregate statistics (number of clicks, sign-ups and subscriptions), without any individual data. The affiliate cookie itself is subject to your consent (see the Cookie Policy). Clicks on partner links are counted in aggregate form, per day and per partner, without IP address or identifier.

b) Paid partners (“Affiliates”). We process the data necessary for the partnership agreement and for self-billing: company name, country, registration number, address, name of the representative, account and billing email, VAT status, supporting documents (signed agreement, extract from the company register, URSSAF certificate where applicable), commission statements and invoices.

c) “Community” partners (unpaid). We process their public name, their platforms, their account email and proof of their acceptance of the agreement: version of the agreement, date and time of acceptance and associated IP address. This information is used to administer the partnership and to keep proof of its acceptance.

Partner data is accessible only to the administrator of Hecatek SARL. Each partner has access only to their own area. Administrative actions are recorded in an audit log.
