Privacy and what happens to your data

Calculators stay in your browser

Every calculator on this site runs in the browser, which means the numbers you enter stay on your own device. A position size, a margin figure or a pip value you type in is not transmitted to the desk and is not stored on a server. The calculation happens locally and the result is shown to you.

This matters for a trading site because the numbers a reader enters can reveal account size and risk appetite. Keeping the calculation local means the desk never sees them. There is no account, no login and no profile that ties a calculation to a person.

Traffic counts and local preferences

The site keeps only aggregate traffic counts, such as how many visits a page received and which pages are read together. These counts are not used to build a profile of an individual reader. They exist to show which explanations are useful and which are not.

Local storage on your own device holds your preferences, such as a display choice you made on a previous visit. That storage sits in your browser and can be cleared by you at any time. It is not a server-side record and it is not shared with a broker.

Third Parties Involved in Running This Site

The third parties involved in Limpopo Options are limited to a web hosting provider, an analytics service that counts visits in aggregate, and FxPro as the broker linked from the site. The hosting provider stores the site files and serves the pages but does not receive calculator inputs. The analytics service records page views and general region data, not personal trading information. FxPro is a separate company, and its own privacy policy applies once you leave this site.

No other third parties receive data from Limpopo Options. There are no advertising networks, no data brokers, and no social media trackers embedded in the pages. The site does not use third-party chat widgets or comment systems that might collect your details. If you send an email to the site, your email provider is a third party that handles that message, but that is a direct communication you initiate, not a background data flow.

For South African readers, the relevant regulator caveat is that FxPro is licensed by the FCA (UK) and CySEC, and an FxPro entity holds an FSCA licence in South Africa — check which entity your own account is opened with. Limpopo Options is not a broker and does not hold client funds. Any third-party service used to run this site is chosen for reliability, not for access to your personal information, and none of them receive the numbers you type into the calculators.

Broker cookies are the broker's

When you follow a link to a broker, that broker sets its own cookies under its own privacy policy. The desk does not control those cookies and cannot read them. What the broker collects, and how long it keeps it, is set out in the broker's policy, which is the document to read before opening an account.

A reader who wants to limit cookies can do so in the browser settings, including blocking third-party cookies. Doing that may affect how a broker's site works, but it does not change anything on this site, because the calculators here do not depend on cookies to run.

Your Rights and How to Use Them

You have the right to ask what personal data, if any, Limpopo Options holds about you, and to request that it be corrected or deleted. Because the site does not store calculator inputs or require an account, in most cases there will be no personal data to return. If you have emailed the site, that message may exist in an email inbox, and you can request its deletion. To exercise any of these rights, send a request to the contact address listed on the site.

You also have the right to object to analytics cookies and to block or delete cookies through your browser. Under South African data protection law, you may ask for access to personal information, correction of inaccurate information, and deletion of information that is no longer needed. Limpopo Options will respond to such requests within a reasonable time. There is no charge for making a request, and you do not need to give a reason for wanting your data deleted.

If you are not satisfied with the response, you can complain to the Information Regulator of South Africa, which oversees the Protection of Personal Information Act. The site does not use your data for automated decision-making or profiling, so there is no automated decision to object to. For any request, include enough detail to identify the communication you sent, such as the email address you used. Rights are exercised by contacting the site directly, and no account login is needed.

Affiliate Tracking Stated Plainly

Limpopo Options may earn a commission when you open an account with FxPro after following a link from this site. That is affiliate tracking, and it is stated plainly here so you know the commercial relationship. The tracking works by placing a cookie or a parameter on the link you click, which lets FxPro know that the visit came from Limpopo Options. It does not give Limpopo Options access to your account, your trades, your balance, or your personal details.

The affiliate relationship does not change the information on this site. The calculators, the margin example at 1:200 (where a 0.10-lot gold position needs about $85.50 margin), and the risk warnings are written to be useful, not to push you toward any particular action. If you prefer not to be tracked, you can navigate to FxPro directly without using a link from this site. The choice is yours, and the site's content remains available either way.

Affiliate tracking is limited to confirming that a referral came from this site and, where the broker's programme allows, recording that an account was opened. It does not follow you around the web or collect data from other sites you visit. The tracking cookie is set by FxPro or its affiliate network, not by Limpopo Options, and its duration and scope are governed by that broker's policies. You can clear or block such cookies in your browser without affecting the calculators on this site.

How Long Data Is Kept and What Deletes It

Calculator inputs are not kept at all because they never leave your browser. Analytics data is kept in aggregate form for a limited period, typically months rather than years, and is then deleted or anonymised further. Email correspondence is kept only as long as needed to handle your query and any follow-up, after which it is deleted. There is no long-term store of personal trading information because the site never collects it.

The main thing that deletes data is time. Analytics aggregates expire on a rolling basis, and emails are cleared once the conversation is closed. You can also delete data yourself by clearing your browser's cookies and cache, which removes any preference or analytics cookies stored on your device. Blocking cookies prevents them from being set in the first place. For email, you can request deletion at any time by contacting the site.

Broker-side data is kept according to FxPro's own policies, not Limpopo Options' policies. Once you follow a link to FxPro, that broker controls how long it retains information about your visit and any account you open. Limpopo Options has no ability to delete data held by FxPro. If you have questions about retention at the broker, you should contact FxPro directly or read its privacy policy, which will state the retention periods that apply to your account.

Cookies and What Each Kind Is For

Cookies on Limpopo Options fall into three functional groups: essential, preference, and analytics. Essential cookies keep the site working, for example by remembering that you have accepted the cookie notice so it does not appear on every page. Preference cookies store choices like your selected language or region so the site does not ask again. Analytics cookies collect aggregated counts of page visits and general interaction patterns. None of these cookies contain your calculator inputs or any trading data.

Broker cookies are set only after you click a link to FxPro and are controlled by that broker, not by Limpopo Options. The site itself does not set cookies that track your trading activity, your account balance, or your positions. If you follow a broker link, the broker may use its own cookies for its own purposes, and you should read that broker's cookie policy separately. Limpopo Options has no access to those cookies and cannot read or change them.

You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time. Blocking essential cookies may affect how parts of the site function, such as remembering your cookie consent. Blocking analytics cookies does not stop the calculators from working because those tools run entirely in your browser. The site does not use cookies to build a profile of you for advertising, and it does not sell cookie data to third parties. For South African readers, the usual browser controls are sufficient to manage what is stored.

What Limpopo Options Stores and What It Does Not

Limpopo Options does not store any personal information you type into its calculators or tools. That includes position sizes, account balances, rand amounts, or any other figures you enter while planning a trade. The site has no database that receives those inputs; they stay in your browser and are discarded when you close the tab. The only data that might be stored are basic, aggregated traffic counts and local preferences such as language or region, which are covered separately in this policy.

The site does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any identity details unless you deliberately send them through a contact channel that is not part of the calculators. There is no account system, no login, and no profile creation on Limpopo Options. If you choose to email the site, that message exists in the email provider's system, not in a site database. Any information you volunteer in that way is used only to reply and is not added to a marketing list or shared with a broker.

What the site does store is limited to non-identifying technical data that helps the pages load and display correctly. That can include the type of device, browser language, and approximate region, but it is not tied to you as an individual. No trading history, no financial details, and no calculator inputs are ever written to a server. If you are comparing gold (XAU/USD) costs or margin at 1:200, those numbers remain on your device and are not transmitted.
