Privacy Policy

Last updated: 8 June 2026

Who we are

BigMarkt (“we”, “us”) operates bigmarkt.co, journal.bigmarkt.co, fts.bigmarkt.co and club.bigmarkt.co. For questions about this policy or your data, contact us at support@bigmarkt.co. BigMarkt is the data controller for the personal data described here.

What we collect

  • Account data: email address and display name when you create an account.
  • Trading journal data: the trades, notes, tags and screenshots you record or that are captured from a broker account you connect.
  • Form submissions: information you provide in sign-up, application, or contact forms (such as name, email, and the answers you give).
  • Technical data: basic usage and device information needed to operate and secure the sites.

Why we use it and our legal basis

  • To provide your account and the journal service — basis: performance of a contract.
  • To respond to applications and enquiries — basis: your consent / our legitimate interest in replying to you.
  • To keep the service secure and working — basis: our legitimate interest.

We do not sell your personal data, and we do not use it for automated decisions that produce legal effects about you.

Where your data is stored and who processes it

We use trusted third-party providers to run BigMarkt on our behalf. They fall into these categories:

  • Hosting and infrastructure providers — to run our websites and deliver content.
  • Database, authentication and storage providers — to securely store your account and journal data, hosted within the European Union (Ireland).
  • Email and communication providers — to handle messages you send us.

We share only what each provider needs to do its job and require them to protect your data. Where data is processed outside the UK/EEA, the transfer is covered by appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses. A current list of the specific providers we use is available on request at support@bigmarkt.co.

How long we keep it

We keep account and journal data for as long as your account is active. If you ask us to delete your account, we remove your personal data from our systems, except where we must retain limited information to meet a legal obligation. Form submissions from people who do not create an account are kept only as long as needed to handle the request.

Your rights

Under applicable data protection law (the GDPR) you have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal data, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these, email support@bigmarkt.co.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

Cookies

We use only the cookies necessary to keep you signed in and to operate the sites. If we add analytics or other non-essential cookies in future, we will ask for your consent first and update this policy.

Children

Our services are not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date above shows the latest version, and material changes will be made clear on our sites.
