Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 19, 2026
Who we are
FlashPips is operated by SLIPDACADEMY LTD (“we,” “us,” or “our”), a company registered in England and Wales with its registered office at Suite 9416, 61 Bridge Street, Kington, HR5 3DJ, United Kingdom. We operate the website at flashpips.com and the FlashPips trading software (the “Software”), a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor built to automate news-driven trading, and we are the data controller for the personal information described in this policy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
By using our website, downloading or purchasing the Software, or taking part in our referral program, you agree to the practices described here. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
Information we collect
- Information you provide — your name, email address, and country when you create an account, download the Software, or make a purchase, as well as any details you share in support or activation requests.
- License data — your license key, activation count, purchase date, and whether you hold the Free or Full version.
- Referral program data — your referral link, the signups you refer (including their email addresses where needed to attribute commissions), your PayPal email for payouts, and your earnings and payout history.
- Payment information — handled by our payment processor (for example, Stripe or PayPal). We do not store your full card number or payment credentials.
- Automatically collected — IP address, browser type and version, device information, pages visited, and similar usage data collected through cookies and server logs.
How we use your information
We use the information we collect to:
- Deliver, license, and activate the Software on your account.
- Process payments, issue license keys, and provide the lifetime updates included with the Full version.
- Operate the referral program, attribute referrals, calculate and pay commissions, and prevent fraud or abuse.
- Respond to support requests and provide technical assistance.
- Maintain the security and integrity of our services, and investigate suspected misuse.
- Improve the Software and our website, and (with your consent) send you product updates and announcements.
Legal basis for processing (GDPR)
Where the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation applies, we process your personal data on the following bases:
- Consent — for marketing emails and non-essential cookies.
- Performance of a contract — to deliver the Software, process your purchase, and run the referral program.
- Legitimate interests — for security, fraud prevention, and product improvement.
- Legal obligation — to comply with tax, accounting, and legal requirements.
Cookies & analytics
We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and the site working, and optional analytics cookies to understand how visitors use the site. You can control or disable non-essential cookies through your browser settings at any time. Disabling them will not prevent you from using the site or the Software.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only as necessary to operate the business:
- Service providers — payment processors, hosting, email delivery, and analytics, under contracts that require them to protect your data.
- Referral attribution — a referrer may be informed that a purchase they referred converted, so commissions can be credited.
- Legal requirements — where required by law, court order, or to protect our rights, users, or the public.
Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account and license are active, and afterwards for as long as needed to fulfill the purposes described here — including tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution obligations. Referral earnings and payout records are retained for accounting purposes. You may request deletion of your data sooner, subject to these obligations.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and restricted access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International data transfers
Your information may be processed and stored in countries other than your own. Where this involves a transfer outside the EU/UK, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, or do so with your consent.
Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal information we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete information.
- Request deletion of your personal information.
- Restrict or object to certain processing.
- Receive a portable copy of your data.
- Withdraw consent at any time, where we rely on consent, and lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email privacy@flashpips.com.
Children's privacy
Our services are not directed at anyone under 18. Trading on margin is restricted to adults, and we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe we have done so, please contact us and we will delete it.
Third-party services & links
The Software connects to MetaTrader 5 and your chosen broker, and our site may link to third-party websites. MetaQuotes, your broker, and any linked sites have their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of third parties.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Material changes will be communicated through the site or by email. Continued use of our services after a change means you accept the updated policy.
