Privacy Policy, Data Security & Account Management

Last Updated: May 2026

1. Introduction & Disclaimers

Welcome to Forex Shield. Our application is designed to help traders monitor macroeconomic events and avoid trading during restricted time windows as defined by various proprietary trading firms.

Disclaimer: Forex Shield is an informational tool. We are not affiliated with any proprietary trading firm (e.g., FTMO, FundedNext). The restricted time windows shown are standard calculations based on public rules. Always verify official firm rules before trading. We are not liable for any account breaches or financial losses.

2. Data Collection

To provide our services, we collect the following necessary user data during account creation and profile setup:

  • Personal Info: Username, Email Address, and Phone Number (Mobile).
  • Authentication: Passwords (securely hashed) via standard Username and Password authentication.
  • Preferences: Monitored prop firms, timezone, and country region.
  • Device Data: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) tokens for push notifications.

3. Data Security & Encryption

Your privacy and data security are our top priorities. We employ industry-standard security measures to protect your information.

Encrypted in Transit: 100% of the user data collected by our app is transmitted over secure, encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS). Your data is never sent in plaintext.

Our backend infrastructure is hosted on secure cloud providers (Supabase & Firebase) undergoing independent security reviews to meet global security standards.
