This Privacy Policy explains how Lucid Entities LLC ("we," "us," "our") — the company behind Lucid Terminal — collects, uses, and protects your information. It applies to the Lucid Terminal desktop app, lucidterminal.io, and our associated VPS services. By using Lucid Terminal you agree to this policy.
One sentence summary: We collect only what we need to run the product and the aggregated data pool. We never sell your identifiable trade data to anyone. Paid tiers can opt out of the data pool. Free tier contribution is mandatory and disclosed here and in our Terms of Service.
Lucid Entities LLC is a limited liability company registered in the State of California, United States. Contact: support@lucidterminal.io. Privacy-specific requests: privacy@lucidterminal.io.
When you connect a broker, Lucid Terminal polls your account every 5 seconds via that broker's official API for: balance, open positions, pending orders, and executed trades. This data flows to our VPS and is stored in our database, associated with your Lucid user account:
A core feature of Lucid Terminal is the aggregated data pool — an anonymized corpus of trades, indicator readings, and P&L outcomes across all contributing users. The data pool powers:
Free tier users contribute by default. This contribution is the value exchange that makes the free tier possible. It is disclosed in the Terms of Service at signup and again in this policy. Your individual trades are never exposed to other users — only aggregated outputs (e.g. "42% of users traded MNQ long at 09:30 NY session today") are surfaced.
Paid tier users (Pro, Elite, Lab, Lifetime) can opt out at any time via Settings → Cloud Sync → Opt out of data pool. Once opted out, no new trades contribute. Trades contributed before opt-out remain in the aggregated corpus (they were valid consideration at the time given) but are anonymized after 90 days.
After 90 days, every trade row's user_id column is replaced with a one-way HMAC-SHA256 hash. At that point the data is legally de-identified per CCPA §1798.140(m) and cannot be re-associated with you even by us.
We share data only with the following service providers, and only to the extent needed to operate the product:
We do not sell personal information to any third party. This includes advertisers, data brokers, ML training providers, or prop firms. "Sale" under CCPA §1798.140(ad) does not occur at Lucid Entities LLC.
The only third parties who see your aggregated (anonymized) trade data are other Lucid Terminal users viewing bot marketplace rankings and aggregate dashboards. They see patterns; they never see identifiers.
If you are a California resident, you have these rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act:
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@lucidterminal.io from the address associated with your Lucid Terminal account. We verify identity via email challenge before fulfilling requests to prevent impersonation. We respond within 45 days per CCPA §1798.130(a)(2).
In-app deletion: you can request deletion directly from Settings → Privacy → Request data deletion. This deletes all personal information within the 90-day personally-identifiable window. Data older than 90 days has already been anonymized per §1798.140(m) and is out of scope for CCPA deletion.
The Lucid Terminal desktop app does not use cookies. Authentication is via JWT stored in the OS credential store (Windows DPAPI).
lucidterminal.io uses minimal technical cookies only:
We do not use Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, marketing trackers, or cross-site tracking of any kind.
Lucid Terminal is for adults who are capable of legally trading futures on regulated exchanges. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, email privacy@lucidterminal.io and we will delete it immediately.
Lucid Terminal is operated from the United States. By using the Service, you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States, which may have different data protection laws than your home country. If you are a European Economic Area (EEA) resident, note that we operate under CCPA rather than GDPR; both standards are substantially similar for the type of data we handle.
We may update this policy periodically. Material changes (new categories of collected data, new purposes, new third-party sharing) will trigger an in-app banner and an email to the address on file — you'll have at least 30 days' notice before the change takes effect. Trivial changes (typo fixes, rewording) can happen without notice; we document all changes in the commit history of this document at github.com/lucidentbusiness/lucid-terminal-legal (once that repo goes public).
Questions: privacy@lucidterminal.io. We respond to privacy emails within 5 business days for simple questions, within 45 days for formal CCPA requests.
If you are dissatisfied with our response, you have the right to file a complaint with the California Attorney General's office at oag.ca.gov/privacy/ccpa.

Risk Disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing one’s financial security or lifestyle. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program despite trading losses are material points that can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program that cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
Testimonials Disclosure: Testimonials appearing on this website may not be representative of other clients or customers and are not a guarantee of future performance or success. Live Trade Room Example: This presentation is for educational purposes only and the opinions expressed are those of the presenter only. All trades presented should be considered hypothetical and should not be expected to be replicated in a live trading account.
