Privacy Policy & Terms of Service
PaprBoard is an independent trading journal and analytics tool for Interactive Brokers (IBKR) accounts. This page explains, in plain language, what data we hold, how we use and protect it, and the terms under which you use the service. By creating an account or using PaprBoard you agree to these terms.
Privacy Policy
1. What we collect
We deliberately keep this to a minimum. We collect only:
- Your email address — used to create your account and sign you in. If you sign in with Google, we receive the email address and basic profile associated with that Google account. That is the only personal detail we require.
- The IBKR statement data you import— trades, positions, cash transactions, and the P&L derived from them. This is financial trade data only. We never receive or store your IBKR username or password.
- Flex Web Service credentials (optional) — if you choose to connect automatic sync, your IBKR Flex token and Query ID. These are read-only and cannot place trades, transfer funds, or access your IBKR login.
- Your preferences and journaling content — the notes, tags, column layouts, and settings you create inside the app.
- Minimal technical data — standard server logs and session information needed to operate the service securely.
We do not collect your name, postal address, phone number, bank details, card numbers, or your IBKR account credentials.
2. How we use your data
Your data is used for one purpose: to provide your trade journal and analytics dashboard. That means parsing the statements you import, computing performance and P&L, rendering your pages, and keeping you signed in. We do not sell your data, share it with advertisers, or use it to train models or for any purpose unrelated to running your dashboard.
3. Who has access
Only you.Your data is isolated at the database level using row-level security: every trade, position, and note is locked to your account, so one user can never read another user's data — and neither do we in normal operation. We do not have partners with whom your trading data is shared.
To run the service we rely on a small number of infrastructure providers (sub-processors):
- Supabase — our database, authentication, and hosting backend, where your data is stored.
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) — cloud hosting and scheduled background jobs that run the application and keep your data in sync.
- Market-data providers — when you view a symbol, we look up public market data (prices, earnings dates, analyst figures). These lookups send only the ticker symbol, never your identity, holdings, or trade history.
These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy terms and are not permitted to use your data for their own purposes.
4. How your data is protected
- Encrypted in transit (HTTPS) and at rest in our managed database.
- Row-level security policies enforce that only your authenticated account can read or write your records.
- Any IBKR Flex connection uses a read-only token that cannot place orders or move money.
- Access to production infrastructure is restricted and credentials are never committed to code.
No system is perfectly secure, but we design PaprBoard to hold as little as possible and to keep what it does hold tightly scoped to you.
5. Data retention & your rights
We keep your data for as long as your account is active. You can ask us at any time to export your data or to delete your account and all associated trade data — once deleted it cannot be recovered. To exercise any of these rights, or to ask what we hold about you, email support@paprboard.com.
Terms of Service
7. The service
PaprBoard imports and analyses Interactive Brokers statement data to produce a trading journal and analytics dashboard. PaprBoard is offered with a 30-day free trial, after which continued use is $5/month. We may change features or pricing over time; material changes will be communicated in advance where reasonably possible.
8. Not financial advice
PaprBoard is an analytics and record-keeping tool. Nothing in the app constitutes financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and figures are provided for informational purposes only. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions. Market data may be delayed or contain inaccuracies; always verify against your official IBKR statements.
9. No affiliation with Interactive Brokers
PaprBoard is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Interactive Brokers LLC. “Interactive Brokers” and “IBKR” are trademarks of their respective owners.
10. Your responsibilities
You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for the accuracy of the statements you import. You agree to use PaprBoard only for lawful purposes and only with data you are entitled to use. Do not attempt to access other users' data, disrupt the service, or reverse-engineer it.
11. Disclaimer & limitation of liability
PaprBoard is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, PaprBoard and its operators are not liable for any trading losses, lost profits, or indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, the service.
12. Changes & governing law
We may update these terms from time to time, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance. PaprBoard is available globally and does not impose a specific governing-law jurisdiction; the mandatory consumer-protection and data-protection laws of your own country of residence continue to apply to you.
