Stocka

Privacy Policy

Last updated 9 November 2026

Stocka is built so that your portfolio is yours alone. There is no Stocka account, and we run no server that stores your trades, positions or personal details; the one optional exception, alerts with the app closed, keeps only ticker symbols and alert levels. This policy explains what data the Stocka app for iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch and its widgets handle, where it goes, and the choices you have.

The short version

Data stored on your device

Your trade journal, holdings, cash balance, watchlist, alert rules, settings and a cache of recent market data are saved in the app's private storage on your iPhone, iPad or Mac. Widgets and the Apple Watch app receive a copy of what they display from the Stocka app on your iPhone, iPad or Mac, on your devices only.

iCloud sync and backups

If you are signed in to iCloud with iCloud Drive turned on, Stocka keeps a sync file and any backups you make in a Stocka folder in your own iCloud Drive. Apple stores these files under your Apple Account; we cannot see or access them. You can delete them at any time from the Files app or from iCloud settings.

Market data providers

To show quotes, charts, dividends, earnings dates and news, your device requests data directly from these providers:

These requests go from your device to the provider, so the provider sees your device's IP address, as with any website you visit. Their own privacy policies apply to that traffic. Stocka never sends them your positions, quantities, costs or trade history.

Broker import (Interactive Brokers)

If you connect Interactive Brokers with a Flex Web Service token, the token is stored in your device's Keychain and sent only to Interactive Brokers to download your trades, positions and cash. That data comes straight to your device and is not passed to us or anyone else. You can disconnect at any time in the app, which removes the token.

Purchases

Stocka Pro is sold through Apple's App Store. Apple processes the payment and tells the app whether your subscription is active; we never receive your payment details. You can manage or cancel the subscription in your Apple Account settings.

Feedback

If you send feedback from the app, we receive your message, the email address you enter (optional, used only to answer you), and — unless you switch it off in the form — the app's version, your device model, its system version, the app's language and whether Stocka Pro is active. Nothing from your portfolio is included. It reaches us as an email to support@stockatrade.app, relayed by our website's server on Cloudflare and by our email provider, Resend; neither stores it for us. We keep it in our support mailbox for as long as it is useful to answer and improve the app, never use it for advertising or tracking, and delete it on request.

To stop the feedback form being misused, the app also sends two things that are not about you. The first is proof from Apple that the message comes from the genuine Stocka app. The second is a random number that the app keeps on your device and that stays there if you delete and reinstall Stocka. With that number our server counts how many messages arrive from one device each day. The count is kept for two days and is never stored with your message or email address.

Alerts with the app closed

This is off until you turn it on in Settings → Alerts → With the app closed. When it is on, the app sends our alert server the tickers it should watch (your holdings and the stocks your alerts are on; three of them on the free plan), their company names, the levels of your price and day-move alerts on them, your stops only if you choose to include them, the trigger prices of your working paper orders if paper trading and its notifications are on, which kinds of alerts you want, whether Stocka Pro is active (it decides how many tickers are watched), and your device's push address from Apple. It never sends quantities, prices paid, cost basis or your trade history. The server checks those levels and the news on those tickers during the trading day and sends a notification through Apple's push service when one fires, even if the app is closed. It keeps the alerts it sent, so the app can show them, for 14 days.

The data is stored by our website's server on Cloudflare under a key that only your installation of the app can use, proven to us by Apple as with feedback. It is not linked to your name, email or Apple account, never used for advertising or tracking, and never shared. Turning the setting off deletes it, with the alerts the server sent; if the app stops checking in, it is deleted after 30 days.

Calendar and notifications

If you ask Stocka to add an earnings or ex-dividend date to your calendar, it asks for write-only access: it can add events but never reads your calendar. Alerts are delivered as notifications on your device, and you can turn them off in Settings at any time.

This website

stockatrade.app sets no cookies and carries no advertising and no third-party analytics. To learn which pages are useful, the site counts its own visits. When you open a page, your browser tells our website's server on Cloudflare which page it is and, at the start of a visit, the name of the site that linked you here (for example google.com, never the full address) and the campaign tag in the link, if it has one. A tap on an App Store button is counted as well. From the request, the server also notes your country, whether you use a phone, a tablet or a computer, and its operating system.

All of this is only added to the day's totals, such as "40 visits from Germany". No record of a single visit is kept, and no identifier, so the totals cannot be traced back to you or linked from one visit to the next. Your IP address is used to deliver the page and to limit misuse, and we do not store it. The totals are kept for 13 months.

If you pick a language in the menu, your browser remembers the choice on your device; it is not sent to us. The site's fonts come from the same server on Cloudflare as its pages, so no other service receives your IP address to load them.

Children

Stocka is not directed at children and is intended for adults managing their own investments.

Your choices

Because your data lives on your device and in your iCloud, you are in control of it. Deleting the app removes its on-device data; deleting the Stocka folder in iCloud Drive removes your sync file and backups. If you use alerts with the app closed, turning that setting off deletes what our alert server holds for your device. Beyond that we hold no personal data about you, so there is nothing for us to export or delete on our side — but you are welcome to ask us about it.

Changes to this policy

If this policy changes, we will update the date at the top of this page. Material changes will also be noted in the app's release notes.
