01 Overview
This policy explains what information Banga Trades ("we", "us", "the app") collects when you use our Android application and this website, why we collect it, and the choices available to you. By creating an account or using the app, you agree to the practices described here.
Banga Trades provides forex, gold and cryptocurrency trading signals for informational purposes. We are not a licensed broker, bank or investment advisor, and nothing in the app or on this site should be read as personalized financial advice.
02 Data we collect
We collect only what's needed to run your account, deliver signals reliably, and keep the service secure.
Account information
- Name and email address used to sign up
- Encrypted password (we never store your password in plain text)
- Subscription plan and billing status
Usage & device information
- App version, device model and operating system version, used for compatibility and bug fixes
Push notifications, where enabled, are delivered through OneSignal, a third-party notification provider. Banga Trades does not directly collect or store your push token — that's handled by OneSignal under its own privacy policy. We do not track which tabs or screens you visit inside the app.
Community & support content
- Messages you send to admin through the in-app Contact form, WhatsApp or Telegram
- Posts you make in the in-app community feed
We do not collect your trading account credentials, broker login details, or bank account numbers. We never ask for these.
03 How we use your data
- To create and maintain your account and subscription
- To send service notifications — new signals, trailing stop-loss updates, billing reminders
- To respond to support requests sent via email, WhatsApp, Telegram or the in-app form
- To monitor app performance, fix bugs and detect abuse or fraudulent activity
- To meet legal or regulatory obligations where applicable
We do not sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers.
04 Third-party services
Banga Trades is built on a small number of trusted infrastructure providers, each of which processes a limited slice of data strictly to perform its function:
| Provider | Purpose | Data involved |
|---|---|---|
| Firebase (Google) | Authentication and real-time database | Account ID, email |
| OneSignal | Push notification delivery | Device push token — collected and managed by OneSignal, not Banga Trades |
| Paystack | Subscription payment processing (cards & mobile money) | Payment method details, billing status — handled entirely by Paystack |
| Telegram | Optional community channel and direct support | Whatever you choose to share inside Telegram, governed by Telegram's own policy |
Each provider maintains its own security and privacy practices; we recommend reviewing them if you'd like more detail on how they specifically handle data.
05 Payments & subscriptions
Paid plans run for a monthly period and are billed through Paystack, but they are not set up for automatic recurring billing. When your plan expires, access simply reverts to Free — you'll need to manually initiate payment again in the app to continue on a paid plan. We never charge your card or mobile money account without you actively completing a new payment.
Banga Trades does not receive or store your full card number, mobile money PIN, or other sensitive payment credentials — that information is handled directly by Paystack's secure payment infrastructure. We only receive confirmation of payment status and the plan you're subscribed to.
06 Data retention & security
We keep account data for as long as your account is active, and for a reasonable period afterward in case you return or as required for legal and accounting purposes. Banga Trades is a purely informational signal app — we do not track, store or retain records of your personal trading activity or outcomes. Signal performance shown in the app reflects the results of signals we publish, not a personal trading log tied to your account.
We use industry-standard measures — encrypted connections, access controls and Firebase's built-in security rules — to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password.
07 Your rights & choices
- Deletion: delete your account at any time directly from the Profile tab — no need to contact admin. This removes your personal data, subject to any legal retention requirements.
- Notifications: manage push notification permissions from your device settings.
- Marketing messages: you may opt out of non-essential promotional messages at any time.
08 Children's privacy
Banga Trades is intended for users aged 18 and over. Trading involves financial risk that requires legal capacity to accept, and we do not knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has created an account, please contact us so we can remove it.
09 Terms of use
By using Banga Trades, you agree to the following:
- Signals are informational content, not personalized investment advice or a solicitation to trade.
- You are solely responsible for any trading decisions and their outcomes.
- Accounts are personal and non-transferable; sharing Premium access outside your household is not permitted under your subscription.
- We may suspend accounts found abusing the platform, community feed or support channels.
- Subscription prices may change with reasonable advance notice; you're always free to cancel before a new billing cycle.
- The app and its content are provided "as is" without warranties of uninterrupted availability or error-free operation.
10 Risk disclaimer
Trading foreign exchange, gold/commodities and cryptocurrency can result in both gains and losses, and may not be suitable for all investors. Before deciding to trade, you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. Trading is not recommended for anyone under the age of 18.
Banga Trades is a signal and information service. We are not a registered broker-dealer, investment advisor or financial institution in any jurisdiction, and nothing we publish should be construed as a guarantee of profit. You are encouraged to do your own research and, where appropriate, consult an independent, licensed financial advisor before acting on any signal.
11 Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational or regulatory reasons. Material changes will be announced in-app or via the community channels. Continued use of Banga Trades after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
