Last updated: 2/26/2026
1. Who we are
Apex TradeMind (“we”, “us”, “our”) is a UK‑based business providing online market structure analysis, trading preparation content and educational resources. We are the “data controller” for the personal information we collect.
If you have any questions about this policy, you can contact us at: support@aptmquant.com
2. What information we collect
We collect and process the following types of information:
– **Contact details:** name, email address and any information you include when you contact us or join our list.
– **Account and subscription ** login details, plan type, billing status and basic usage of your member area.
– **Payment information:** payments are processed by third‑party providers such as Stripe and CoinPayments; we do not store your full card or wallet details on our own servers.
– **Marketing preferences:** whether you have opted in or out of receiving email updates from us (for example, via MailerLite).
– **Website usage ** anonymised information about how visitors use our site, such as pages viewed, device type and approximate region, collected through a lightweight analytics tool that does not use tracking cookies or store directly identifiable personal data.
3. How we use your information and legal basis
We use your information to:
a) Provide our services and manage your account
– Set up your account, deliver content, process payments and provide customer support.
– Legal basis: performance of a contract; our legitimate interests in running the service.
b) Send service emails
– Important updates about your subscription, changes to terms, security or technical issues.
– Legal basis: performance of a contract; legal obligations.
c) Send optional newsletters and marketing
– Market structure insights, product updates, offers and educational content.
– Legal basis: your consent (you can withdraw at any time via the unsubscribe link in any email).
d) Improve our website and services
– Understand which pages are used, identify problems and improve the experience using aggregated, anonymised analytics.
– Legal basis: our legitimate interests in running and improving our business.
4. Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal data. We only share it with:
**Payment processors** (such as Stripe and CoinPayments) to process subscription payments and manage billing.
**Email service provider** (such as MailerLite) to send newsletters and service emails.
**Analytics provider** (a privacy‑focused analytics service) to measure visits and page views using anonymised, aggregated statistics.
**Professional advisers and technical providers** where reasonably necessary for running the business (for example, legal, accounting or hosting services).
These third parties are only permitted to use your data to provide their services to us and must protect it appropriately.
We may also disclose information if required to comply with a legal obligation or to protect our rights.
5. International transfers
Some of our service providers may be based outside the UK or European Economic Area (EEA). Where this is the case, we will ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place (for example, standard contractual clauses or equivalent protections) to protect your personal data, as required by UK data protection law.
6. How long we keep your data
We keep your information only for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this policy or to meet legal, accounting or reporting requirements, for example:
**Account and billing records:** typically up to 6 years after your subscription ends, to comply with tax and accounting rules.
**Marketing contact details:** until you unsubscribe or your email repeatedly bounces, plus a short period to maintain suppression lists.
**Support correspondence:** for as long as needed to handle your request and for reasonable record‑keeping.
After these periods, data is deleted or irreversibly anonymised.
7. Your rights
Under UK data protection law (including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018), you have rights over your personal data, including
– The right to access a copy of your personal data.
– The right to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
– The right to request deletion of your data in certain circumstances.
– The right to restrict or object to processing in some cases (for example, direct marketing).
– The right to data portability (to receive certain data in a machine‑readable format)
To exercise any of these rights, contact support@aptmquant.com with details of your request.
You also have the right to complain to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you are unhappy with how we handle your data. Further information is available at www.ico.org.uk.
## Cookies and similar technologies
8. What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They can be used to make a site work, remember your preferences or track usage.
9. How we use cookies
Our aim is to use as few cookies as possible and avoid invasive tracking. We currently use:
**Essential / functional cookies**
Cookies that are necessary for the site and member area to work (for example, to keep you logged in or remember that you closed a banner or pop‑up). Some embedded forms or email signup tools may also set cookies so you don’t see the same form repeatedly.
**Analytics (minimal / privacy‑friendly)**
We use a lightweight analytics tool to understand overall traffic and page usage. It uses anonymised, aggregated statistics and is designed to work without tracking cookies or collecting directly identifiable personal data.
**Third‑party cookies (payments)**
Payment providers such as Stripe and CoinPayments may place cookies when you use their checkout or payment pages, for example to detect fraud and process payments securely.
We do not use cookies to run behavioural advertising campaigns or to build marketing profiles across different websites.
10. Managing cookies
Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings, including blocking or deleting them. Please note that blocking essential cookies may affect how our website and member area function.
If we introduce any additional non‑essential cookies in the future (for example, for extra analytics or marketing tools), we will update this policy and, where required, present a clear consent banner giving you options to accept or reject them.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy & Cookies Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you (for example, by email or by a notice on the website). Please check this page periodically to stay informed about how we handle your data.
