Privacy Policy

This policy explains what personal information CryptoGenie LLC, doing business as Genie Trades ("we", "us"), collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. It applies to our memberships, our Discord server, our email newsletter, our Whop page and our website, genietrades.com.

1. What we collect

When you buy a membership (through Whop):

• Your name and email address.
• Your Discord username and user ID, once you link Discord.
• The plan you chose, and your payment history (amounts, dates, renewals, refunds and failed payments).

Your card details are handled by Whop and its payment partners. We never see your full card number.

In our Discord server:

• Your Discord username, user ID, server role and the date you joined.
• The messages and reactions you post in the server. Other members can see these too.

From our email newsletter (sent with Beehiiv):

• Your email address.
• Whether you open our emails and click their links. Beehiiv measures this.

When you contact us: what you send us, and your email address or Discord name.

On X: we don't collect anything from X beyond what anyone can see publicly.

What we don't collect: we never ask for your brokerage account, your positions or trades, your Social Security number or your card number. Please don't send them to us.

2. How we use it

• To give you access, and to remove it when a membership ends.
• To handle billing questions, cancellations and refunds.
• To send our newsletter, if you signed up for it.
• To answer your messages.
• To enforce our terms, for example to find out who leaked paid content.
• To keep tax and accounting records, and to meet other legal duties.

We don't use your information to make automated decisions about you.

3. AI

Some of our posts are written in part by an AI model, working only from market data. We never send your personal information to the AI.

4. Who we share it with

We share personal information only with:

• Service providers that run parts of the service for us: Whop (payments, memberships, affiliate tracking), Discord (the community), Beehiiv (email), Cloudflare (website hosting) and Google (analytics). Each one handles your information under its own privacy policy.
• Professional advisers, such as our lawyer or accountant, when they need it.
• Authorities, when the law requires it, or to protect our rights or someone's safety.
• A buyer, if the business is sold or reorganized. They must follow this policy.

We never sell or rent your personal information, and we don't share it for targeted advertising.

5. Cookies and tracking

We run our own website, genietrades.com. It is hosted by Cloudflare (Cloudflare Pages). Whop's checkout and pages use cookies under Whop's privacy policy. We use two measuring tools:

• Whop Pixel on genietrades.com. A script from Whop records which pages you visit on our website, and which page or link led you to a purchase. To recognize your browser on later visits, it saves an ID in a cookie and in your browser's storage, and uses details about your browser and device. Whop handles this information under its own privacy policy.
• Google Analytics on our Whop checkout and pages. It counts visits, checkout starts and purchases. Google sets cookies in your browser to do this. We don't turn on Google's advertising features. You can opt out of Google Analytics on every website with Google's browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We don't use any advertising pixels (for example from X or Meta). If we add one, we'll update this policy first.

6. How long we keep it

• Membership and contact details: while you're a member, and up to 2 years after, in case of billing questions or disputes.
• Payment records: as long as tax and accounting law requires, usually up to 7 years.
• Newsletter: until you unsubscribe.
• Discord messages: they stay in the server until you or a moderator delete them.

7. Your choices and rights

• Newsletter: every email has an unsubscribe link.
• Discord: you can delete your own messages, or leave the server, at any time.
• Access, correction and deletion: email us to ask for a copy of your information, to correct it or to delete it. We'll answer within 30 days. We may need to confirm it's you first. We may have to keep some records, like payment records, when the law requires it.

Some states, such as California, give residents extra privacy rights. We give these rights to every member, wherever you live. We won't treat you differently for using them.

Information that Whop, Discord or Beehiiv hold in your own accounts with them is covered by their privacy policies. You can manage it with them directly.

8. Security

We limit who can see member information and use the security tools that Whop, Discord and Beehiiv provide. No system is completely secure. If a breach affects your information, we'll tell you as the law requires.

9. Under 18

The service is not for anyone under 18. If we learn we have information from someone under 18, we'll delete it and end their access.

10. Where your information is kept

We are based in the United States. Your information is stored and processed in the United States and wherever our service providers operate.

11. Changes to this policy

The newest version will always be on our Whop page, with the date it was last updated. If a change is significant, we'll announce it in the Discord server before it takes effect.
