Privacy

Last updated 9 October 2026

We collect as little as we can, we never sell it, and we never use it to follow you around the web. Your trading journal is yours: nobody at AXIS looks at it unless you choose to share it.

What we collect

When you sign up through Whop (paid plans and the free pass): your name and email, plus what you type at checkout. Depending on the plan that is your Discord username, what you trade and for how long, your Sierra Chart account name, and for AXIS OTP your answers to the application questions. Card details go to Whop and its payment processors; we never see them.
Your Sierra Chart account name, so we can license the AXIS studies to it.
Your trading journal, if you use the AXIS Journal app: the fills, stops and account names it reads from your Sierra Chart Trade Activity Logs, and the notes, tags, settings and commissions you add in the journal.
Your dashboard preferences: page layout and your Before the Charts routine, saved to your account so they follow you between devices.
Your AXIS OTP application, if you apply on this site: your name, email, phone number, Sierra Chart account name if you give it, and your answers to the six questions. Used only to review your application and contact you about it. We text you only if you tick the box that says we may, and you can reply STOP at any time.
Your email, if you join The 9 O'Clock email list. Used only to send the brief and the occasional desk update. Every email has an unsubscribe link.
What you send us: emails and messages, so we can answer them.
Page counts: our own counter records how many times each page was viewed per day and which site sent the visit (the site's name only, never the full link). No cookies, no stored IP addresses, nothing that identifies you or follows you between visits. The dashboard uses one sign-in cookie, only to keep you signed in.

Your journal is private unless you share it

Your journal is visible only to you. In the journal's Share with AXIS page you can turn on sharing, for example on AXIS OTP so we can go through your trades with you each day.

Sharing is off until you turn it on.
While it's on, AXIS staff can view your trades, stats, notes and journal settings in the dashboard. They can't change, add or delete anything, and nothing is shown to other members.
Turn it off at any time and access ends immediately. The page shows when AXIS last opened your journal, and every view is logged.
Without sharing, our admin pages show only whether your journal app is connected and when it last synced, so we can help if it stops.

The honest limit. Your data is stored on our hosting provider's servers. The people who run those servers (the two AXIS partners, and the hosting company's own staff) can technically reach stored data outside the dashboard. We only do that to keep the service running, fix problems or answer a request from you, never to look at a member's trading. The sharing switch controls what the dashboard shows; it doesn't encrypt your data so that even the server can't read it.

Who else handles it

Whop runs checkout, billing, membership and the sign-up questions.
Fly.io hosts the AXIS Dashboard and Journal (app.axisdesk.org) and its database.
Netlify hosts this website, the email sign-up form and the AXIS OTP application form.
Sierra Chart receives your Sierra Chart account name so the AXIS studies are licensed to it.
Cal.com runs call booking: the name and email you book with, and the time you pick.
Discord runs the community, under Discord's own privacy policy.
Zoho handles our email (support@axisdesk.org, info@axisdesk.org).
Google Fonts serves the typefaces on some pages, so your browser contacts Google to fetch them.

We don't sell or rent your information, and we don't share it with advertisers.

How long we keep it

Journal data: until you delete it (the journal's Disconnect page deletes every uploaded trade and your notes) or ask us to close your account. Email list addresses: until you unsubscribe or ask. Customer records: as long as you are a member, then as long as tax and accounting law requires. Page counts are anonymous and kept indefinitely.

Your choices

Email info@axisdesk.org to see, correct or delete what we hold about you, and we will do it. You can delete your journal data yourself at any time from the journal's Disconnect page. The site isn't meant for anyone under 18.
