Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 8, 2026
Last Updated: August 8, 2026
ChartDrill ("ChartDrill," "we," "us," or "our") operates chartdrill.com (the "Site"), a free day trading game. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use the Site. It's written for a U.S. audience.
1. No Account Required
ChartDrill does not require you to create an account or sign up to use the Site. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information through your use of the core game itself.
Your game data — virtual balance, trade history, win rate, and similar stats — is generated and stored locally in your browser during your session. We do not receive or retain copies of this data on our servers.
The only exception is if you voluntarily contact us — see "Contact Form" below.
2. Information Collected Automatically
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the Site (e.g., pages viewed, time on site, general location, device/browser type). Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect this information.
- Google Analytics may collect your IP address, approximate location, device information, and browsing behavior on the Site.
- This information is aggregated and used to help us understand site traffic and usage patterns — we do not use it to identify you personally.
- Google acts as an independent data controller/processor for this data under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
Cookies
Google Analytics places cookies in your browser to enable this tracking. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may not affect your ability to use the core functionality of the Site, since ChartDrill's game runs client-side.
Opting Out of Google Analytics
You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking by:
- Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Adjusting your browser's cookie settings to block third-party cookies
- Using browser privacy/tracking-prevention modes
Contact Form
If you choose to contact us using the form linked on the Site, we receive the message you provide, and an email address only if you choose to include one. Providing an email address is optional; without one, we cannot reply to you, but you can still submit a message. We use any information provided solely to respond to your inquiry and do not use it for marketing, add it to any mailing list, or share it with third parties. The form is hosted by Google Forms, which processes this information under its own privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy
3. How We Use Information
The limited analytics data we receive through Google Analytics is used solely to:
- Understand how people use the Site
- Improve Site performance and features
- Monitor traffic trends
We do not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties for advertising purposes, because we do not run advertising on the Site.
4. Data Sharing
We do not sell or share personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes. The only third parties with access to any data are Google, via Google Analytics (usage data) and Google Forms (if you contact us), as described above.
5. Children's Privacy
ChartDrill is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. Since we collect no personal information directly, this risk is minimal, but if you believe a child has provided information through the Site, please contact us using the form below so we can address it.
6. Your Privacy Rights
Depending on your state of residence, you may have rights regarding data collected about you (e.g., under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Virginia's VCDPA, or similar state laws). Because ChartDrill does not collect or store personal information directly, there is generally no personal data for us to access, correct, or delete on our end. Any analytics data is controlled by Google — you can exercise rights over that data through Google's own privacy tools and settings linked above.
Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information (California Residents)
Under the CCPA/CPRA, the use of analytics tools like Google Analytics can be considered a "sale" or "share" of personal information (such as your IP address or device identifiers), even though no money changes hands. We do not sell or share personal information for advertising purposes — we do not run ads on the Site.
Because we do not collect, store, or maintain any personal information ourselves, we have no internal database or vendor list to action a deletion or opt-out request against. The data in question (e.g., your IP address, device identifiers) is collected directly by Google via cookies in your browser, so the most effective way to opt out is at the source:
- Installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on
- Enabling the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal in your browser, which we honor as a valid opt-out request
- Blocking third-party cookies in your browser settings
If you have questions about this or need help opting out, contact us using the form linked below.
7. Data Security
Since we do not collect or store personal data on our servers, there is no personal data at risk of a breach on our end. Your simulation data remains local to your device/browser.
8. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
