"TradingView presents a 67/100 high-risk profile comparable to mainstream ad-supported platforms (Netflix/Spotify range: 40-50, Google/Microsoft range: 55-70). The service aggressively collects sensitive financial and behavioral data (payment details, location, device identifiers, click patterns), shares it broadly with advertising networks and affiliated businesses, and implements cross-site behavioral tracking via Google reCAPTCHA and ad pixels without explicit notification. Critically, published content and user messages are retained indefinitely even after account deletion, and financial records are retained for 10 years, limiting user control over their data footprint."
tradingview Privacy Concerns & Scorecard
Google reCAPTCHA is used to automatically analyze visitor behavior including IP address, visit duration, and mouse clicks without explicit user notification, representing passive non-consensual behavioral analysis.
Data is shared with stock exchanges and affiliated businesses for commercial purposes and market research, with limited transparency on which specific business partners receive what data.
Social media credentials are collected from multiple platforms (Facebook, X, Google, Yahoo, LinkedIn, Apple) for authentication purposes, creating authentication data linkage across platforms.
Published trading ideas, messages to other users, and public profile information are retained indefinitely even after account deletion, with acknowledgment that 'search engines and third parties may retain copies of publicly available information after account deletion'.
Users cannot opt out of core service notifications including billing-related emails for paid accounts, limiting ability to control communications.
