PSU Trading Society
Privacy Policy
What we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Effective October 2026. This Privacy Policy explains what information the PSU Trading Society (“the Society,” “we,” “us”) collects when you use psutradingsociety.com and psutradingsociety.org (the “Website”), how we use it, and the choices you have. It reflects the same practice the Society has followed since its founding in 2017: collect very little, share none of it, and keep what members tell us within the Society.
What we collect
01Information you provide
If you email us, we receive your email address, your name if you include it, and the contents of your message. If you are issued a member account, we hold the email address and name associated with it and a securely stored credential. We do not ask for payment information, government identifiers, or sensitive personal information.
02Information collected automatically
Like most websites, our hosting provider automatically records standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, pages viewed, and timestamps. This is used for security, to keep the Website running, and to understand aggregate traffic. We do not use advertising trackers or sell this data.
04Third-party services
The Website loads typefaces from Google Fonts, which means Google receives a request from your browser, including your IP address, when a page loads. Links to outside websites such as LinkedIn and YouTube are governed by those sites’ own privacy policies. Our hosting provider processes technical data on our behalf.
How we use and share information
05How we use information
We use information only to operate and secure the Website, respond to messages, administer member accounts, and honor requests such as photograph removal. We do not use your information for advertising.
07Retention
We keep email correspondence for as long as needed to respond and maintain a record of Society matters, and member account information for as long as the account is active. Technical logs are kept for the period set by our hosting provider.
08Security
We use reasonable measures to protect information, including encrypted connections (HTTPS) and securely stored credentials. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Your choices and rights
09Your choices
You may ask us to correct or delete personal information we hold about you, to close a member account, or to remove a photograph in which you appear, by emailing contact@psutradingsociety.com. We will respond promptly.
10Regional rights
Depending on where you live, you may have additional rights under laws such as the GDPR (for visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom) or U.S. state privacy laws, including rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. We honor such requests regardless of location where we are able to.
11Children
The Website is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
12International visitors
The Website is operated from the United States. If you visit from elsewhere, your information will be processed in the United States, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.
