Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 25, 2026

This policy describes information handled through the BeforeTheTrade website, a brand associated with Josh’s Finance. It covers this website; third-party membership, community, video, email, and payment services have their own policies.

Information involved when you visit

The website serves informational pages, images, links, and a live cryptocurrency price panel. Our hosting and delivery providers may process technical information such as your IP address, browser type, request time, requested page, and security logs to deliver and protect the site. Where the hosted site requires sign-in, the hosting provider also processes authentication information under its own policy.

Contact messages

If you email us, we receive the information you choose to send, including your email address and message. We use it to respond, address membership questions, and manage business inquiries. Do not send passwords, private keys, seed phrases, payment card details, or exchange credentials.

Live cryptocurrency prices

When the live price panel is present, your browser requests public exchange-rate data directly from Coinbase. Coinbase receives the technical details needed for that request, which may include your IP address and browser information. The panel requests data approximately once per minute while visible. It does not connect to your wallet, exchange account, or portfolio. See Coinbase’s privacy policy.

Cookies, browser storage, and analytics

The website’s own application code does not set analytics cookies, use advertising pixels, or store personal information in local storage. Hosting, security, or sign-in services may use cookies needed for their functions. Clicking a third-party link may take you to a service that uses cookies or tracking under its own policy. This version does not embed YouTube players; videos open on YouTube when selected.

Memberships, payments, and community services

Whop and Patreon handle purchases and membership accounts on their platforms. Discord handles community accounts. We may receive the membership and access information those services make available to creators for administering access and responding to support requests. We do not collect card numbers through this website.

Affiliate links and external services

Some links contain referral identifiers so partners can attribute signups or qualifying purchases. They do not include the information from your contact messages. Review the destination’s privacy practices before creating an account or providing information. We may share information with service providers as needed to deliver services, meet legal obligations, or protect security.

Retention and your choices

Contact and membership-related information is kept as needed to respond, administer access, maintain appropriate business records, and meet legal obligations. Provider-controlled records follow the provider’s retention practices. You can contact us to request access, correction, or deletion of information we control. Applicable rights depend on your location; some records may need to be retained. For platform account or payment records, also contact that platform directly.

Security and updates

No internet service can promise absolute security. This policy may change when the website or its services change. The updated date identifies the latest revision. For privacy questions, email josh@beforethetrade.com.
