Privacy Policy – PropChallenges.com

Last updated: November 2, 2025

Welcome to PropChallenges.com.

Your privacy matters to us. We are committed to handling your personal information lawfully, transparently, and securely. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you access or use PropChallenges.com (the “Site”).

We comply with applicable global data protection regulations, including (where relevant) the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Economic Area (EEA), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) for California residents, and other local privacy and consumer protection laws.

By using PropChallenges.com, you confirm that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with this Policy, please do not use the Site.

This Privacy Policy applies to all visitors and users of PropChallenges.com, regardless of location. It covers personal and non-personal data collected through your interaction with the Site, including when you click on referral / affiliate links that lead to external proprietary trading firms (“prop firms”).

Throughout this Privacy Policy, “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PropChallenges.com. This Privacy Policy works alongside, and is supplemented by, our Terms & Conditions.

This Privacy Policy explains:

  • What information we collect (including personal data) and why;
  • How we collect and process that information;
  • How and why your data may be shared;
  • Your rights regarding your personal data (including access, correction, and deletion);
  • How to contact us.

1. DATA COLLECTION

We collect limited information in order to operate and improve PropChallenges.com. Our website is an informational aggregator: we present prop firm “challenges,” conditions, and fees in a comparison-style table and provide outbound referral links to those firms. We do not run trading accounts, process prop firm applications, or onboard traders ourselves.

Important: When you click a referral / affiliate link on PropChallenges.com and go to a prop firm’s website, any information you provide to that firm is governed by that firm’s own privacy policy — not ours. We do not control their data handling.

1.1 Personal Information

“Personal information” means data that identifies you or can be used to identify you, directly or indirectly. Depending on how you interact with us, this may include:

  • Contact details you voluntarily submit to us (for example, if you email us directly or fill out a contact form): your name, email address, and any other information you choose to include in the message.
  • Newsletter / marketing opt-in data (if offered): your email address and communication preferences.
  • Any information you provide when requesting support or asking us questions about prop firms, challenges, payouts, rules, etc.

We do not create trading accounts for you, and we do not ask you for financial documents, KYC documents, or payment information. If a prop firm requires those, you provide them directly to that firm.

1.2 Non-Personal Information

We also collect certain technical and usage data that does not directly identify you. This may include:

  • Browser type, browser version, device type, operating system, screen resolution;
  • Approximate geolocation derived from IP address, where legally permitted;
  • Pages you view, time spent on pages, click patterns (for example, which referral links are clicked);
  • Referring URL (the page you came from before visiting us).

This information helps us understand how visitors use PropChallenges.com, which prop firm listings get the most interest, and how to improve the Site.

1.3 Analytics, Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We may use analytics tools (for example, traffic analytics, click tracking, and aggregated referral conversion tracking) to better understand how users interact with PropChallenges.com, detect issues, and optimize the layout of tables and offers.

These tools may collect information such as:

  • Which challenge listings you view or expand;
  • Which outbound prop firm links you click;
  • Time on page, scroll depth, and navigation flow;
  • Technical diagnostics such as browser console errors.

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, or similar technologies to:

  • Remember basic preferences (e.g. currency or account size filters);
  • Measure traffic and performance;
  • Attribute referrals or commissions when you visit a prop firm through our link.

Where required by law (for example, in the EEA or UK), we will request your consent before setting non-essential cookies or running analytics that can be used to track you across sessions. You can withdraw or change consent at any time via browser settings or by contacting us.

1.4 Third-Party Sources

We may receive limited information from partners (for example, an affiliate network or prop firm partner) confirming that a user visited their site via our link or completed a signup. This information is typically aggregated or pseudonymized and does not include sensitive financial data.

We do not receive your trading performance, payout history, funded status, or personal financial documents from prop firms.

2. PURPOSE OF DATA COLLECTION

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To operate and improve the Site: Maintain PropChallenges.com, display and update comparison tables, track which listings are useful to visitors, and fix bugs or broken links.
  • To provide relevant content: Show challenge conditions, fees, rules, and requirements from different prop firms so that you can compare them.
  • To understand interest in specific firms: Measure which firms or challenges get the most clicks so we can improve rankings, filtering, and presentation.
  • To communicate with you: Respond if you contact us, send service-related notices (for example, policy updates), or — if you’ve opted in — send newsletters or promotional messages. You can unsubscribe at any time.
  • To comply with law: Maintain records, prevent abuse or fraud (for example, fake traffic or bot clicks), and respond to lawful requests.
  • To protect our service and other users: Detect suspicious or malicious activity that could harm the Site, our partners, or other visitors.

We do not use your data to make automated trading decisions about you, and we do not evaluate your trading skill or financial situation.

Depending on where you are located, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases to process personal data:

  • Consent: For example, when you agree to receive marketing emails from us, or when you accept non-essential cookies/analytics in regions where consent is required. You may withdraw consent at any time.
  • Legitimate Interests: We have a legitimate interest in:
    • Operating and improving PropChallenges.com;
    • Understanding which listings users find valuable;
    • Preventing fraud, abuse, or attacks on the Site;
    • Measuring referral performance and affiliate attribution.
    We balance these interests against your rights and expectations.
  • Contractual Necessity: If you request something from us (for example, you ask us a question and expect a reply), we process the information you provide so we can respond.
  • Legal Obligations: We may process and retain certain information if required to comply with applicable laws, regulations, accounting rules, tax/audit requirements, or to respond to lawful requests from authorities.
  • Protection of Rights / Fraud Prevention: In rare cases, we may process data to help prevent harm, investigate abuse, or protect the security of the Site.

4. DATA SHARING AND DISCLOSURE

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share data in the following situations:

We will share your information with third parties if you explicitly ask or allow us to do so.

4.2 Service Providers

We may share data with trusted third parties who help us operate PropChallenges.com. Examples include web hosting providers, analytics providers, security/anti-fraud tools, email delivery services (for newsletters), and affiliate tracking platforms. These providers are only allowed to use your information to perform services for us.

We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request. We may also disclose information to protect our rights, property, safety, or the rights, property, or safety of others.

4.4 Business Transfers

If PropChallenges.com is involved in a merger, acquisition, asset sale, restructuring, or similar transaction, information may be transferred as part of that transaction to the relevant successor or advisor. We will comply with applicable legal requirements regarding notice.

4.5 Aggregated / De-Identified Information

We may share aggregated, statistical, or de-identified information (for example, “X% of visitors clicked Firm A’s challenge link”). This type of information cannot reasonably be used to identify you.

5. DATA RETENTION AND STORAGE

We keep personal data only for as long as needed for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or allowed by law (for example, tax or compliance obligations).

  • Contact / support messages: We may keep emails or form submissions long enough to respond to you, resolve any issues, maintain records of what we told you, and meet legal obligations.
  • Analytics data: Technical logs, traffic analytics, and click tracking may be stored for a limited period to help us measure performance, detect abuse, and improve the Site.
  • Legal retention: If we need certain data to comply with law, defend against legal claims, prevent fraud, or enforce our agreements, we may retain that data for as long as legally necessary for those reasons.

When data is no longer needed, we will either delete it or anonymize it so it can no longer be linked to you.

6. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES

Depending on your location, you may have some or all of the rights below. We will honor these rights in accordance with applicable law.

  • Access: You can request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
  • Correction: You can request that we correct or update inaccurate or incomplete data.
  • Deletion: You can request that we delete your personal data, subject to legal obligations that may require us to keep some information.
  • Restriction: You can request that we limit how we process your data in certain situations.
  • Objection: You can object to processing that is based on our legitimate interests, including objection to direct marketing.
  • Withdraw Consent: If we rely on consent (for example, for marketing emails or certain cookies), you can withdraw that consent at any time. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing that happened before withdrawal.
  • Data Portability: Where applicable, you can request a copy of certain data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

Marketing emails: If you are receiving marketing or newsletter emails from us, you can unsubscribe at any time using the link inside the email or by contacting us.

Cookies / tracking: You can block or delete cookies via your browser settings. In regions where consent is required, you may also decline non-essential cookies when prompted.

Supervisory authorities: If you are in a jurisdiction with a data protection authority (for example, an EU/EEA Data Protection Authority or the UK Information Commissioner’s Office), you may have the right to lodge a complaint with them if you believe your privacy rights have been violated.

7. DATA SECURITY

We use commercially reasonable technical, administrative, and physical safeguards designed to help protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

  • We use secure hosting and industry-standard security practices to protect the Site.
  • We limit access to personal data to authorized personnel who need it for legitimate business reasons and who are subject to confidentiality obligations.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use caution when sharing information online and notify us immediately if you believe your data has been exposed without authorization.

PropChallenges.com contains links to third-party websites, including prop firm websites and affiliate/partner platforms. When you click those links, you leave our Site.

We do not control those third-party websites and we are not responsible for their privacy practices, security, content, or terms. Their policies will apply to any data you provide to them. We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of each prop firm or service before submitting personal or financial information.

Some pages on PropChallenges.com may include embedded third-party content (for example, badges, widgets, videos, social embeds). Interacting with that embedded content may allow that third party to collect information about you in line with its own privacy policy.

9. CHILDREN’S PRIVACY

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to individuals under 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately using the email in Section 12 so we can take appropriate action. If we learn that we have collected personal data from a person under 18, we will delete it.

10. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS

We may process and store information in countries other than the country where you are located. Those countries may have different data protection laws than your country. Where required, we implement safeguards (for example, standard contractual clauses or similar mechanisms) to help protect your information during such transfers.

By using PropChallenges.com, you acknowledge and agree that your information may be transferred to, stored in, and processed in jurisdictions outside your own.

11. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technologies, legal requirements, or how we operate the Site.
