Gobi Privacy Policy

• Account information, such as your email address, authentication identifiers, display name, handle, and avatar choices.
• Profile and social information, such as friends, follows, community posts and comments, direct messages, market-room and news-thread messages, shared paper trade cards, and other content you choose to post or send.
• Practice trading activity, such as virtual balances, watchlists, simulated orders, positions, fills, PnL, account history, learning progress, and app interactions.
• Device and usage information, such as device type, operating system, app version, push notification tokens, IP address, approximate location derived from network information, logs, diagnostics, and crash reports.
• Website information, such as pages visited, browser type, referring pages, and basic analytics used to understand site performance.

If you access Gobi through Apple TestFlight, Apple may collect and share certain testing information with us, such as your name or email associated with TestFlight, invitation status, install status, device details, crash logs, screenshots, or feedback you submit through TestFlight. Apple's handling of that information is governed by Apple's own policies.

• Provide, maintain, and improve the Gobi app, website, accounts, simulated trading experience, and social features.
• Show your practice portfolio, trade history, market context, profiles, messages, community feed, notifications, and related app state.
• Understand app performance, troubleshoot bugs, prevent abuse, protect safety, and maintain service reliability.
• Send service messages, product updates, TestFlight communications, and support responses.
• Develop new features and improve onboarding, education, risk explanations, and simulated trading workflows.

• With other users, when you choose to share profile information, social activity, messages, posts, comments, or paper trade cards.
• With service providers that help us operate the app, website, hosting, authentication, analytics, diagnostics, support, communications, and infrastructure.
• With market data, infrastructure, and technical vendors as needed to provide app functionality.
• When required by law, legal process, safety obligations, or to protect the rights, property, and security of Gobi, our users, or others.
• In connection with a merger, financing, acquisition, reorganization, or transfer of assets, subject to appropriate protections.

We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Gobi's trading activity is simulated and uses virtual money. Simulated trades, balances, positions, PnL, leaderboard entries, shared trade cards, and related learning data may still be personal information because they are associated with your account. Treat anything you share with friends or on public profiles as visible to those recipients.

• You can update certain profile and account information in the app when those controls are available.
• You can choose what to share in social features, including messages, posts, comments, and paper trade cards.
• You can manage device permissions, such as notifications, through your device settings.
• You can delete your account at any time from the app (Profile, then Delete account). Deleting removes your profile information from our active database, signs you out, and marks your practice account as deleted in our infrastructure. This cannot be undone, and signing in again later starts a fresh practice account.
• You can request access, correction, deletion, or export of your personal information by contacting us.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the service, maintain account history, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, and protect the app. Some information may be retained in backups, logs, or security records for a limited period after deletion requests.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that information will never be accessed, disclosed, altered, or destroyed.

Gobi is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.

Gobi may process information in the United States and other countries where we or our service providers operate. Those countries may have privacy laws that differ from the laws where you live.

We may update this policy as Gobi changes. If we make material changes, we will update the effective date above and provide additional notice when appropriate.
