Gold Signals privacy policy
Last updated 14 November 2026. This policy covers the Android app Gold Signals: XAUUSD Alerts (package com.goldsignalsapp), published by Section Nine.
The short version
No account, no name, no email. The app makes a random install ID on your phone and uses it to load signals, remember your notification choices and send usage events. Product analytics also go through PostHog. We don't sell your data.
What we collect
| Data | Why | Kept |
|---|---|---|
| A random install ID made by the app on your phone. It isn't your advertising ID or any hardware identifier, and it isn't linked to your name. | To count installs and group usage events | Up to 24 months |
| Your notification choices (new signals, results) and a push token if you allow notifications | To send the alerts you chose | Until you change them or ask us to delete them |
| App activity: app opened, signals viewed, onboarding finished, and taps on Telegram, share, review and partner buttons, with the app version | To see which features are used and improve the app | Up to 24 months |
| Product analytics through PostHog: the events above plus screen views, app open and close, app version, phone model, Android version and language. PostHog may use your IP address to estimate your country. | To understand how the app is used | Up to 24 months |
| Crash and error reports: the error message and stack trace, the screen, app version, phone make and model and Android version | To find and fix bugs | Up to 24 months |
| Standard server logs: IP address, time and the request, when the app loads data from our servers | To run and secure the service | As kept by our hosting provider, typically days |
What we don't collect
We don't collect your name, email address, phone number, contacts, photos, precise location, payment details or advertising ID.
Who processes data for us
Vercel (hosting for our servers) and Neon (database), PostHog (product analytics, EU), Expo (app updates and delivery of push notifications) and Google Firebase Cloud Messaging (push delivery). Some of these providers process data outside the UK under the safeguards they publish. We don't sell personal data or use it for advertising, and there are no third-party ad networks in our apps.
Telegram and partner links
The app links to our free Telegram channel, Gold Signals Daily. If you join through the app's link, Telegram shows us, as the channel's administrator, that your Telegram account joined through it. It isn't connected to your install ID.
The app may show links to partner brokers or prop firms. These open in your browser, and the partner's own privacy policy applies to anything you do there. If you open an account, the partner may tell us that a referral came from our link.
Your choices and deleting your data
Uninstalling the app stops all collection. This version doesn't show its install ID, so to delete what we hold, email support@s9.software with your phone model and roughly when you installed and last used the app, and we'll find and delete the matching records within 30 days. If a later version shows the ID in Settings, include it.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct or delete your data, or object to its use, by emailing support@s9.software. You can also complain to the Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk.
Children
This app is for adults (18+).
Changes
If what the app collects changes, we'll update this page and the date at the top.
