Data Usage Policy
Understanding how we collect and use information to enhance your trading education experience
Last Updated: January 15, 2025
What Are Tracking Technologies
When you visit techflow-driftup.com, we use various tracking technologies to understand how you interact with our position sizing education content. These small data files help us remember your preferences and improve your learning experience each time you return.
Think of these technologies as helpful assistants that remember whether you prefer detailed explanations or quick summaries, which trading examples resonated with you, and where you left off in our educational materials. This isn't about surveillance — it's about creating a personalized learning environment that adapts to your needs.
Types of Data Collection We Use
Essential Functions
These keep our platform working properly. They remember your login status, language preferences, and ensure our calculators and tools function correctly during your session.
Functional Features
These enhance your experience by remembering your progress through our courses, your preferred chart settings, and customization choices you've made to our trading interfaces.
Analytics Data
We track which educational content is most helpful, how long visitors spend on different topics, and which areas might need improvement based on user behavior patterns.
Marketing Insights
These help us show you relevant content about position sizing techniques and trading education that matches your interests and learning style.
How We Collect Information
Automatic Collection Methods
Our system automatically gathers certain information when you browse our site. This includes which pages you visit, how long you spend reading our trading guides, and which tools you use most frequently. We also collect technical details like your browser type and screen size to ensure our content displays properly.
What This Means for You
If you spend extra time on our risk management articles, we might suggest related content about position sizing calculations. When you return next week, our system will remember you were interested in conservative trading strategies.
Information You Provide
- Contact details when you sign up for our newsletter or request information
- Trading experience level when you complete our assessment forms
- Feedback and questions you submit through our contact forms
- Preferences you set for receiving educational content
- Progress tracking data when you use our interactive learning tools
Managing Your Data Preferences
You have complete control over how we collect and use your information. Most web browsers allow you to manage these settings, and we respect whatever choices you make about your privacy.
Browser Configuration Options
In Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge, you can access privacy settings through the main menu. Look for options labeled "Privacy," "Security," or "Site Settings." From there, you can block all tracking, allow only essential functions, or set up custom rules for different websites.
If you disable all tracking technologies, you'll still be able to access our educational content, but you might need to re-enter preferences each time you visit, and some interactive features may not work as smoothly.
Quick Browser Settings
Most browsers have a "Do Not Track" option that signals your preference to websites. We honor these requests and will limit our data collection accordingly. You can also browse in private/incognito mode for sessions where you don't want any information stored.
Data Retention and Your Rights
We keep different types of information for different periods. Session data disappears when you close your browser. Preference settings stay until you change them or clear your browser data. Analytics information helps us improve our educational content over time, so we keep that longer — typically up to two years.
Your Control Options
- Request to see what information we have about your visits
- Ask us to delete specific data from our systems
- Update your communication preferences at any time
- Opt out of analytics tracking while still using our tools
- Export your learning progress data if you want to keep records
We believe transparency builds trust. If you're curious about what data we collect or how we use it to improve our position sizing education, we're happy to explain our processes in detail.
Third-Party Services
Some of our educational tools integrate with external services to provide better functionality. For example, our chart examples might use market data providers, and our contact forms connect with email services to ensure you receive our responses promptly.
These partners have their own privacy policies, and we only work with services that meet high standards for data protection. We never share personal information with marketing companies or data brokers.
International Data Transfers
Some services we use operate servers in different countries. When this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information according to international privacy standards.
Updates to This Policy
As we add new educational features or improve our platform, we may need to update how we handle data. When significant changes occur, we'll notify active users through email or prominent notices on our website.
Minor clarifications or technical updates happen periodically, and we always post the current version here with the revision date at the top of this page.

We're committed to transparency and responsible data handling. Reach out if you need clarification about any aspect of our privacy practices.
