ARVO is a trading journal, discipline, accountability, behavioural reflection, and performance analytics tool.
ARVO allows traders to record and review information relating to their trading activity, routines, trading rules, emotions, market-news preparation, discipline, and trading performance.
ARVO does not execute trades, hold customer funds, operate as a broker, manage investment portfolios, or provide personalized investment advice.

- account creation information;

These outputs are generated from available account and journal data.

3. How we use information
We may use information processed through ARVO to:
- create and maintain your account;
- authenticate you and maintain secure sessions;
- provide the ARVO application and its features;
- store your trading journal;
- provide routine and behavioural tracking;
- calculate statistics and performance summaries;

- protect ARVO, its users, and the integrity of the Service.
4. Automated calculations and AI
ARVO uses deterministic and statistical calculations to generate various scores, summaries, comparisons, and relationships from information available in the Service.
At the time represented by this Privacy Policy template, the audited production application does not use an external artificial intelligence or large language model service to process user trading or journal data.
If ARVO later introduces AI functionality that materially changes how personal information is processed or shared with external providers, this Privacy Policy should be updated before or when that processing becomes applicable.
5. Trading and behavioural relationships
ARVO may identify statistical relationships or associations between different information recorded in the Service, including routines, emotions, news preparation, discipline, and trading results.
Such relationships are observational.
An observed association does not establish that one behaviour caused a particular trading result.
6. How information is stored
ARVO currently uses cloud infrastructure including Supabase / Lovable Cloud functionality for services such as authentication, database functionality, and storage where applicable.
Information may therefore be processed using infrastructure operated by service providers acting on behalf of ARVO.
Appropriate technical and organizational measures should be maintained to protect information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.
However, no online service or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
7. Third-party services
ARVO may rely on third-party infrastructure and service providers required to operate the Service.
Based on the current audited implementation, these may include services used for:
- cloud database infrastructure;
- authentication;
- application hosting/infrastructure;
- file/storage functionality where applicable;
- Google authentication;
- externally hosted web fonts.
These providers may process limited information necessary to perform their respective services.
ARVO does not currently use advertising or marketing tracking services identified in the audited application.
8. Google sign-in
If you choose to sign in using Google, information necessary to authenticate your account may be exchanged between Google and ARVO's authentication infrastructure.
Google's processing of information is also subject to Google's own privacy terms and policies.
9. Cookies and local storage
ARVO uses browser storage and authentication/session mechanisms necessary to operate the Service and remember certain user preferences.
These may include:
- authentication/session storage;
- language preference;
- theme preference;
- selected account or similar application preferences;
- other functional browser storage required by the Service.
Based on the current audited implementation, ARVO does not currently use analytics or advertising tracking technologies identified by the audit.
For more information, see the ARVO Cookie Policy.
10. Analytics and advertising
At the time represented by this template, the audited ARVO application does not contain an identified analytics or marketing tracking service.
ARVO does not currently use the audited application to create advertising profiles from your trading-journal activity.
If analytics, advertising, or other non-essential tracking technologies are introduced later, the relevant policies and consent mechanisms must be reviewed and updated accordingly.
11. Report exports
ARVO may allow you to generate downloadable report images, including Daily Recap and Weekly Report exports.
Where these reports are generated locally in your browser and downloaded directly to your device, the export itself does not require ARVO to permanently store a separate copy of the generated image.
You are responsible for how you store or share exported reports after downloading them.
Exported reports may contain trading or behavioural information that you may consider private.
12. Data retention
ARVO retains information as necessary to provide the Service and for other legitimate purposes permitted by applicable law.
Specific retention periods: [DATA RETENTION POLICY TO BE INSERTED]
Where no specific retention period has yet been established, this section must be finalized before publication based on ARVO's actual operational, backup, legal, and deletion practices.
13. Account and data deletion
Users may be able to delete individual information within ARVO where the relevant feature provides that functionality.
Full account deletion: [ACCOUNT DELETION PROCESS TO BE INSERTED]
This section must reflect the actual production account-deletion process before this Privacy Policy is published as final.
14. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, applicable law may provide rights regarding your personal information.
These may include the right to:
- request access to personal information;
- request correction of inaccurate information;
- request deletion of information;
- request restriction of certain processing;
- object to certain processing;
- request portability of certain information;
- withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
- lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection authority.
These rights may be subject to legal limitations and exceptions.

ARVO's service providers and infrastructure may process information in countries other than the country where you live.
Where required by applicable law, ARVO will use appropriate safeguards for international transfers of personal information.
Applicable jurisdiction and transfer details: [JURISDICTION / INTERNATIONAL TRANSFER INFORMATION]
16. Children
ARVO is not intended for children below:
[MINIMUM AGE]
ARVO does not knowingly seek to collect personal information from users who are not legally eligible to use the Service.
This section must be finalized according to ARVO's intended markets and applicable law.
17. Security
ARVO uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect information processed through the Service.
Users are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and for maintaining appropriate security on devices used to access ARVO.
