Scope. This Privacy Policy applies specifically to users of the Angler Telegram trading bot. Other Angler products (such as the data API at docs.angler.network/api) are governed by separate agreements.

Overview

Angler Bot (“we”, “our”, or “us”) respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your information when you interact with the Angler Bot and our website at https://angler.network.

We only collect the minimum data required to provide our services, and this policy outlines what data we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal information. By using the Bot, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.

Data We Collect

We may collect the following information when you use the Angler Bot service:

  • Telegram User Details: Telegram ID or username, interaction logs (e.g., commands sent).
  • Binance API Key and Secret Key: If you choose to link your Binance Futures account to the Bot, we collect the API key and secret key, which are required to perform trades on your behalf.
  • Interaction Logs: Data related to the commands you issue and actions taken within the Bot, such as trade orders (long or short) initiated after receiving news content.

We do not collect or store sensitive personal data such as national IDs, email addresses, or passwords.

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used for the following purposes:

  • To operate and maintain the Bot: Enabling the functionality of the Bot, including the integration with Binance and the delivery of news content.
  • To execute trades: When you choose to place a “long” or “short” futures trade, the data you provide (Binance API key and secret key) is used to execute the trade directly on your Binance Futures account.
  • For performance diagnostics and troubleshooting: To monitor and improve the functionality of the Bot.
  • For abuse prevention: To monitor for potential misuse of the Bot’s functionalities.

Your data is processed solely to enable the operation of the Bot and to allow you to place trades based on news content, and no further purposes.

Data Storage & Security

  • API Keys: We do not store your Binance API keys or secret keys. They are only temporarily stored during the transaction process to facilitate trade execution.
  • Encryption: API credentials, if temporarily stored, are encrypted.
  • No Data Sharing: We do not share, sell, or misuse your data in any way.
  • Access: Only authorized personnel have access to the minimum amount of personal data required to operate the service.
  • User Responsibility: You are responsible for securely managing your Binance API keys and secret keys. Never share these credentials with others, and ensure that withdrawal permissions are disabled on your API keys.

Users have the right to request data deletion at any time via our website at https://angler.network.

Third-Party Services

The Angler Bot integrates with the following third-party services:

  • Binance: To execute trades on your Binance Futures account via the API.
  • Telegram: As the primary interface for user interactions with the Bot.

We do not control or guarantee the privacy practices of these third-party services. These platforms are governed by their own privacy policies, and Angler Bot is not responsible for how they handle your data. For details on how these third parties handle your data, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

Security Measures

We take reasonable, industry-standard measures to protect user data from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These include:

  • Encryption: API credentials are encrypted (if stored) and stored securely.
  • Access Controls: Limited access to internal systems and sensitive data.
  • Monitoring: Regular monitoring of command usage and anomalies to detect any unusual activity.
  • Network Security: Implementing network-level security configurations to protect user data.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

In the event of a data breach that may affect your information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable data protection laws. Users remain fully responsible for:

  • Securing their API keys and ensuring they are not shared.
  • Avoiding enabling withdrawal permissions on API keys.
  • Using Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on both their Binance and Telegram accounts to further secure their accounts.

Your Responsibilities

Users are fully responsible for the security of their own API keys and Telegram accounts. We strongly recommend:

  • Never enabling withdrawal permissions on trading API keys.
  • Regularly rotating API credentials to ensure maximum security.
  • Enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) on both Binance and Telegram accounts to add an extra layer of security.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

  • Access your personal data.
  • Request correction or deletion of your personal data.
  • Object to data processing where applicable.
  • Request data portability.

Requests can be made via our website at https://angler.network.

Limitation of Liability

We take reasonable steps to ensure the security of your data, but we cannot be held responsible for any unauthorized access or breaches of security. Users remain responsible for securing their own API credentials, enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) on their Binance and Telegram accounts, and regularly rotating their API keys.
