This Data Collection Policy is a plain-language summary of exactly what data CryptoComp collects, why, and who it is shared with. It complements the CryptoComp Privacy Policy, which contains the full detail.
CryptoComp collects the following categories of data. For each, we list what is collected, why, and how it is shared or kept private.

- What: email address and password (handled by AWS Cognito), display handle, and an optional avatar color or profile photo you pick from your device library.
- Why: Create and secure your account, sign you in, and display your identity in the game.
- Sharing: Stored in AWS; your email is never shown publicly and is not sold.
Gameplay & simulated trading activity
- What: your $100k paper portfolio, simulated trades and statistics, XP, league tier, streaks, achievements, contest entries, and prediction-game results.
- Why: Run the game, leagues, contests, and leaderboards.
- Sharing: Your handle, avatar, simulated scores, profit/loss %, and recent simulated trades appear on public leaderboards and profiles.
Payout information

Selling your data & advertising
We do not sell your personal data.

We keep your account and gameplay data until you delete your account. You can permanently delete your account and all associated data — including leaderboard entries and uploaded images — at any time from Profile → Delete account.
