Privacy Policy
In short. Stocktown doesn't ask you to sign up, or for your name or your email. The app creates a random identifier and our server uses it to keep your tournaments, your portfolio and your trades. The other players in a tournament see the nickname you chose there and how your portfolio is doing. It's a game: no real money and no real stocks. This version shows no ads and has no third-party analytics. You can subscribe to Stocktown Plus; Apple or Google takes the payment and we never see your card. We don't collect your location, your contacts, your photos or your microphone.

What we collect and why
Your installation
- A random identifier created by the app on your phone, and whether the phone is iOS or Android. It is not the advertising identifier and it isn't derived from anything about you: it is the key your tournaments are kept under.
- When it was first and last used.
Your tournaments
- The tournaments you create: their name, their invitation code, how long they last, how many companies they use, the day they start and your phone's time zone, so the market opens at 9:00 where you live.
- In each tournament you join: the nickname you choose there, your game money, the shares you hold and every trade you make (company, shares, price and time).
- The orders and futures you open (company, whether you bet it goes up or down, margin, leverage, term and how it ended) and what you choose each day in the afternoon pick.
- The dividends you are paid on Fridays and the daily challenges you complete.
- The other players in the same tournament see your nickname, your position in the ranking, how much your portfolio is worth, how many daily picks you got right, your level and the frame, badge and colour you have equipped. Nobody outside the tournament sees anything, and nobody sees your identifier.
- In the open tournament, the computer-run rivals sometimes comment in the newspaper on a big trade someone made, mentioning that player's nickname, the company and the day. They are not people: their comments come out of the game.
- The invitation link (
stocktown.cehero.com/unirse/CODE) only shows the tournament's name and how many players it has. - If you tap Share on a tournament summary, we keep a snapshot of it (your nickname, the tournament's name, your position, return, best and worst sale, trades, picks, challenges, contracts, dividends, level and what you have equipped) behind a random link (
stocktown.cehero.com/semana/…). Anyone with that link can see it, and nothing else; it carries no identifier and is deleted with your account.
Your progress
- The experience you earn playing (what for and when), your level, the season pass of the month, your division in the open tournament, how many duels you have played and won, and the cosmetic items you have unlocked and equipped. They are only for decoration: they never give game money or any advantage.
Notifications, if you allow them
- If you let the app send you notifications, the phone gives us its push token (an address from Apple, or Google on Android, to deliver a notification to that phone), the app's language and which notifications you want: when someone passes you in a tournament and big news about the companies you hold.
- So as not to repeat a notification, we keep your last seen position in each tournament and how many notifications we've sent you today (four at most).
- You turn them off in your phone's or the app's notification settings. The token is deleted with your account, and also as soon as Apple or Google tell us it no longer works.
Prices, companies and news are the same for everyone in a tournament and are made up by the game: they have nothing to do with real markets.
Technical data
Your IP address is part of any internet connection and reaches our server with every request. We use it only for a moment, to limit how many requests a single connection can make; we don't store it with your tournaments. The hosting provider keeps the usual server logs. These web pages set no cookies.
What we do NOT collect
- No name, email, phone number or date of birth.
- No location, contacts, photos, camera, microphone or health data.
- No payment data and no real money: if you subscribe to Plus, Apple or Google charges you and your card and name never reach us.
- No ads, no third-party analytics and no crash reporting. The app contains no components from other companies that collect data.
- We don't read the device's advertising identifier.
Who we share it with
| Who | What for |
|---|---|
| Our hosting provider | Running the server where your tournaments are kept, in the European Union. |
| Apple (App Store) or Google (Google Play) | Only if you subscribe to Plus: checking that the purchase receipt is genuine and whether the subscription is still active. |
| Apple (APNs) or Google (Firebase Cloud Messaging) | Only if you allow notifications: delivering them to your phone. We give them the token and the notification's text. |
| The other players in your tournament | Your nickname, your ranking and the value of your portfolio, because that's the game. |
We don't sell your data or hand it to anyone else.
Why we are allowed to
- To give you the game you asked for (performance of a contract): keeping your tournaments, your portfolio and your trades, showing the ranking to the tournament and giving you Plus if you bought it.
- Our legitimate interest: keeping the service secure, stopping abuse and knowing, in overall figures, how many people play, so we can improve the game.
How long we keep it
- Your identifier, your tournaments, nicknames, portfolios, trades, progress and shared summaries: for as long as the installation exists. If you ask us to delete it, all of it goes.
- A tournament you created is deleted with your account if nobody else plays in it; if someone does, it goes on for them.
- Server backups: they are rotated, so a deletion can take a few more days to disappear from every copy.
Your rights
You can ask us for a copy of your data, to correct it, to delete it, to restrict what we do with it, to object to a use, or to give it to you in a portable format.
Write to info@consultoriaehero.com with the league code and your nickname in it, so we know which player is you. We answer within one month.
If you think we got it wrong, you can complain to the Spanish Data Protection Agency, www.aepd.es, or to the authority in your own country.
How to delete your account
The steps, and what is kept, are in Delete your account. Uninstalling the app doesn't delete anything from our server.
Stocktown Plus
Plus is a monthly or yearly subscription charged by Apple (or Google on Android): tournaments of up to 50 players, your portfolio analysis and no ads. It never gives an edge in the tournament. When you subscribe, the app sends us the purchase receipt (the product, its transaction identifier and when it expires); we check it with Apple or Google and keep it with your identifier, so we know you're Plus. We don't receive your name, your email or your card. You manage and cancel the subscription in your Apple or Google account settings. We keep the receipt while your account exists, plus whatever the law requires us to keep about a sale.
Ads in future versions
We plan to add a small banner and optional rewarded videos from Google AdMob, which Plus members won't see. They aren't in the app yet. Before a version with ads comes out, this page will explain what data they use, and the date above will change.
Age
Stocktown is not meant for children under 14.
Changes
If we change how the game handles your data, we update this page and change the date above.
