Last updated: 2026. By creating an account or using TraceTrade, you acknowledge and accept the terms of this notice.
The TraceTrade application is published by Bthrive Digital LLC, operating under the brand bthrivestudio.com.
All content, code, graphics, logos, and features made available through TraceTrade are the property of Bthrive Digital LLC or its licensors and are protected by applicable copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.
TraceTrade is released under the MIT open-source license. You may use, modify, and distribute the source code in accordance with that license. However, the “TraceTrade” name, logo, and brand elements remain the property of Bthrive Digital LLC and may not be used to endorse or promote derivative products without prior written permission.
TraceTrade is a local-first trading journal provided for informational and record-keeping purposes only. It does not provide financial, investment, legal, or tax advice. Nothing in the application should be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any financial instrument.
Trading involves substantial risk, including the possible loss of capital. Past performance recorded in the application is not indicative of future results. You are solely responsible for your trading decisions and for complying with the laws and regulations applicable in your jurisdiction.
TraceTrade offers two sign-in methods: Sign in with Google, handled entirely by Google Identity Services (we receive only your email address, your Google user ID, and your display name — never your Google password), and @id accounts, which use a username and a password stored only as a bcrypt hash. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for any activity carried out under your account. For @id accounts, no recovery email exists: losing your password means losing access to the account and any associated cloud backup.
TraceTrade stores your journal data locally in your browser by default; this data never reaches our servers in readable form. If you opt in to the encrypted cloud backup, your data is encrypted on your device with a passcode only you know before being uploaded; Bthrive Digital LLC cannot decrypt it, cannot recover a lost passcode, and cannot restore a backup without it.
You are responsible for maintaining backups of your data. Bthrive Digital LLC is not liable for data loss caused by browser clearing, device failure, loss of passcodes, or user error. Use the built-in export and backup features regularly and keep secure copies.
The export, import, backup, restore, and cloud-sync features are provided “as is”, as convenience tools. By using them, you acknowledge and accept that you bear sole and entire responsibility for:
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Bthrive Digital LLC declines all liability for any direct or indirect loss, corruption, alteration, partial or total deletion, or unrecoverable encryption of data occurring before, during, or after an export, an import, a backup, a restore, or a synchronization — including, without limitation, data lost through user error, interrupted transfers, incompatible files, forgotten or lost passcodes, hardware or software failures, or third-party services — even if you have informed us of the possibility of such loss. Any import or restore operation may overwrite or permanently replace your current data: proceed only after securing your own backup.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Bthrive Digital LLC shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from the use or inability to use TraceTrade, including but not limited to trading losses, data loss or corruption, loss of profits, loss of access to accounts or backups, or business interruption, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain liabilities; in such cases, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
The application is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, availability, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the application will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that data will never be lost.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Bthrive Digital LLC, its members, and its affiliates from any claim, damage, or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of TraceTrade, your exported data, or your breach of this notice.
This notice is governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Bthrive Digital LLC is established, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from the use of TraceTrade shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts of that jurisdiction, unless mandatory consumer law provides otherwise.
This legal notice may be updated from time to time. The most recent version will be made available within the application or on the publisher’s website. Continued use of the application after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised notice.
