01Data We Collect
We may collect account details (such as email), purchase metadata, and technical usage data required for licensing and security.
This includes the MT5 account number you link to a licence, and the IP address you use when you sign in, start a free trial or link an MT5 account. We also work out which country that IP address is in, using a database that runs on our own servers, so the address is not sent to anyone else for this.
02How Data Is Used
Your data is used to provision licenses, process payments, improve service quality, secure accounts, prevent abuse of free trials, and respond to support requests.
03Free Trials and Abuse Prevention
A free trial can only be used once per MT5 account. An MT5 account that has already been linked to any GoldBot licence, free or paid, cannot be linked to a new free trial. To apply this rule we keep a record of every MT5 account number linked to a licence, and which licence it was linked to.
We also use IP addresses and the countries they are in to spot several accounts being created from the same place to get repeated free trials. We do this because we have a legitimate interest in keeping free trials fair and in protecting our service from fraud and abuse. We use these records only for that purpose and to look into suspected abuse.
Country lookups use GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, available from maxmind.com.
04How Long We Keep It
IP addresses, and the country worked out from them, are deleted one year after we last saw them. MT5 account numbers linked to licences are kept for as long as we need them to apply the free-trial rule, so that deleting an account does not make an MT5 account eligible for a new free trial.
05Third-Party Services
Payments may be processed by third-party gateways including Paygate. Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies.
07Your Rights
You may request account data updates or deletion requests by contacting support through our support page. If you object to how we use your data, contact us and we will review your request.
Our team will explain anything here in plain language.
