Why Sign In With Apple?

TradingPlan uses Sign In With Apple as the only authentication method. This was a deliberate choice:

  • Privacy first — Apple's system is designed to share the minimum possible information
  • No password to remember or lose — authentication uses your Apple ID credentials and biometrics
  • Secure by default — Apple handles identity verification; TradingPlan never stores your password
  • Works across all your devices — the same sign-in works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac

What Information Does Apple Share?

When you sign in for the first time, Apple offers to share your name and email. You can choose to hide your email (Apple provides a relay address instead) or share it.

TradingPlan uses:

  • Your Apple ID user identifier — a unique, anonymous ID that identifies you without revealing personal information
  • Your display name — used for the greeting in the app ("Good morning, Stuart")

TradingPlan does not sell or share your personal data with third parties.

Important: Apple only provides your name on the very first sign-in. After that, it's cached by the app. If you reinstall the app without signing out first, or sign in on a new device, the name may not be provided again by Apple — but TradingPlan will have stored it from the first time.

Signing In on a New Device

Your data syncs via iCloud. When you sign in on a new iPhone, iPad, or Mac with the same Apple ID:

  1. Install TradingPlan
  2. Open the app
  3. Tap Sign In With Apple
  4. Confirm with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password

Your entire plan — strategies, routines, philosophy, risk rules, notes — syncs automatically within a few minutes of signing in.

Can I Use a Different Apple ID?

Data is tied to your Apple ID. If you sign in with a different Apple ID, you'll see a separate, empty plan — your original data will still exist on the original Apple ID and will sync back when you sign in with that ID.

If you've been using two Apple IDs accidentally, contact us — we may be able to help.

Signing Out

To sign out of TradingPlan:

  1. Go to Profile
  2. Scroll to the bottom
  3. Tap Sign Out

Your data is not deleted when you sign out. It remains in iCloud, attached to your Apple ID, and will sync back when you sign in again.

Deleting Your Account

To permanently delete your TradingPlan account and all associated data:

  1. Go to Profile → Help & Feedback
  2. Tap Delete Account

This removes all your data from TradingPlan's iCloud container. This action is permanent and cannot be undone.

You can also request account deletion by contacting support.
