Terms of Service
Draft — not a finished legal document. This document is a template. It describes how this application behaves, but it has not been written or reviewed by a lawyer and is not tailored to any jurisdiction.
Portfolio Tracker is a personal, educational project. It uses simulated money only: no real money is deposited, traded or paid out. This document is here so the project has something accurate to point at.
What this is
Portfolio Tracker is a free stock market simulator and a personal learning project. It lets you practise buying and selling shares with money that does not exist, using delayed market prices. It is not a broker, not a financial institution, and not a service you can hold real value with. See the disclaimer for the detail.
Using it
You need a Google account to sign in. You are responsible for keeping that account secure; anyone who can sign in as you can see and change your simulated portfolio.
One account per person. Please do not:
- create extra accounts to game the leaderboard, or choose a leaderboard name that impersonates someone else, is abusive, or is somebody's real name or email address;
- automate requests, scrape the site, or make enough of them to affect its availability or its market-data provider's;
- attempt to reach another user's data, or to bypass the limits and checks in the application;
- use it for anything unlawful.
A leaderboard name that breaks these rules may be removed, and an account being used to attack the service may be suspended or deleted.
Your data
What is collected and what is done with it is set out in the privacy policy. You can export everything or delete your account at any time from your account page.
Availability
This is provided as-is and free of charge, with no guarantee that it works, stays available, or preserves your data. It may go offline, lose data, or be discontinued without notice. Features may change or be removed.
Market data comes from a third party and may be delayed, incomplete or unavailable. Nothing here is guaranteed to be accurate.
Liability
Because no real money or real securities are involved, using this simulator cannot cause you a financial loss in itself. To the extent the law allows, the author accepts no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of it — including any decision you make about real investments after using it. Do not treat results here as a reason to do anything with actual money.
Changes
These terms may change as the project does. Continuing to use the site after a change means accepting the current version.
