We collect very little. No payment information, no advertising, and we never sell your data. Papyrus is a free educational simulation with no real money involved.
This Privacy Policy explains what information Papyrus collects, how we use it, and the choices you have. Papyrus is a free, educational paper-trading platform. All trading is simulated with virtual funds; no real money is ever involved. By using Papyrus you agree to this policy.
When you sign in with Google, we receive your name, email address, and profile picture. When you create a profile we store a username and avatar. We also store your in-app activity — your virtual trades, holdings, and portfolio history. We do not collect or store any payment, bank, or real financial account information, because the platform never handles real money.
We use your information to operate the service: to sign you in, show your portfolio, and send service-related emails. We use aggregate, non-identifying information (for example, overall usage trends) to understand and improve the platform. We do not use your data for advertising.
Papyrus is intended for users aged 13 and older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13; if we learn that we have, we will delete it. If you are under 18, you confirm that you have your parent or guardian's permission to use the service.
We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with the service providers that make Papyrus work: Google (for sign-in), Supabase (database and authentication hosting), and Vercel (application hosting). We also retrieve market price data from third-party providers; this is read-only and does not involve sharing your personal information. We may disclose information if required by law.
We keep your account information for as long as your account exists. You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data at any time (see "Your choices" below), after which we will remove it except where we are required to retain it by law.
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal information by contacting us. You can change your display name in your settings. You may stop using the service at any time.
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and to operate the platform. These are required for the service to function. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
We use reputable hosting and authentication providers and take reasonable measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date below. Continued use of Papyrus after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
If you have any questions about this policy or your data, or to make a request about your information, contact us at tradeonpapyrus@gmail.com.
