This Privacy Policy explains how First Motus ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, stores, and protects your personal information in connection with your use of the First Motus website and services. By using our platform, you consent to the practices described in this policy. We are committed to maintaining the privacy and protection of your information and adhering to applicable data privacy laws.
When you create an account on First Motus, we collect personally identifiable information including your email address, username, and password through Firebase Authentication. In addition to account details, we collect data related to your use of the platform, such as your daily trading move submissions (including selected ticker, action, note, and duration), the timestamp of your entry, and system-evaluated outcomes (e.g., Win or Loss). We may also log your IP address and user agent for security and analytics purposes. This information is stored securely in Firebase Firestore and used to enable key features of the site.
The information collected from you is used solely to operate and improve the First Motus platform. Specifically, we use your data to (i) authenticate your account, (ii) record and store your submitted trading moves, (iii) evaluate the outcome of your moves using real-time market data from third-party APIs such as Finnhub, (iv) display your performance history, and (v) provide personalized features such as win/loss statistics and a public user profile if applicable. We do not use your information for advertising purposes or sell your data to third parties.
The tools, content, and services provided by First Motus are for informational and educational purposes only. The platform does not offer financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. All trade-related entries, evaluations, and performance statistics are based solely on user-submitted intent and algorithmic comparison against real-time price data. Nothing on the platform should be interpreted as a recommendation or endorsement of any trading strategy, security, or investment product. You are solely responsible for your investment decisions, and you should consult with a licensed financial advisor before making any trading or investment choices.
We may use standard web technologies such as cookies, local storage, and analytics scripts to improve the functionality and performance of the First Motus website. Cookies may store user preferences, login sessions, or UI state between visits. Additionally, we may use privacy-respecting analytics tools to understand user engagement patterns and improve usability. No personally identifiable information is sold, shared, or made accessible to third-party advertisers or data brokers.
We take reasonable technical and organizational precautions to protect the integrity and confidentiality of your data. All authentication and database operations are handled through Google Firebase, which uses secure encryption protocols. Access to data is limited to authorized personnel and protected by access controls. While we strive to safeguard your data, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. We retain your data for as long as your account is active and may retain minimal archival records for compliance or fraud prevention purposes even after deletion.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational purposes. When updates occur, we will revise the "Last Updated" date at the bottom of this page. We encourage you to review this policy regularly to stay informed about how your data is protected and used. Continued use of the platform after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
