What a declaration is

Data safety (Google Play) and App Privacy (App Store) are declarations: the developer fills them in and the store prints them. They are not an audit by the store; Google's page says in so many words that “the developer provided this information and may update it over time”.

MetaTrader 4 Forex Trading — Google Play

Developer: MetaQuotes Software Corp.. The Data safety summary has 4 lines: “No data shared with third parties”; “This app may collect these data types” followed by “Personal info, Financial info and 4 others”; “Data is encrypted in transit”; “You can request that data be deleted”. The page links the developer's privacy policy on metaquotes.net.

MetaTrader 5 — Forex, Stocks — Google Play

Developer: MetaQuotes Software Corp.. The Data safety summary has 4 lines: “No data shared with third parties”; “This app may collect these data types” followed by “Personal info, Financial info and 3 others”; “Data is encrypted in transit”; “You can request that data be deleted”. The page links the developer's privacy policy on metaquotes.net.

MetaTrader 4 — App Store

Provider: MetaQuotes Software Corp.. The App Privacy label has 2 groups: “Data Linked to You” with 3 categories (Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers); “Data Not Linked to You” with 2 categories (Usage Data, Diagnostics).

MetaTrader 5 — App Store

Provider: MetaQuotes Software Corp.. The App Privacy label has 2 groups: “Data Linked to You” with 4 categories (Financial Info, Contact Info, User Content, Identifiers); “Data Not Linked to You” with 2 categories (Usage Data, Diagnostics).

Reading a declaration

Declarations from two stores are in two formats and cannot be matched line by line; where a line has no counterpart the grid shows a dash.

Where two rows differ, the table shows both and the text does not weigh them. They are different pages read on the same day.

What they do not contain

Nothing in a declaration says how long data is kept or who the account's legal entity is. Those questions belong to the privacy policy and the account documents, which this site did not read.

What this page does not cover

Only one family of facts is read here; Cost lines, Requirements, Versions and Ratings have their own pages. The ledger also leaves out anything behind a login: identity checks, funding screens and the order ticket.

Reader questions

Before you tap install

Does the store check these declarations?

Rand App Costs: The Google Play page says the developer provided them; the App Store label says the developer indicated them.

What does “linked to you” mean?

Rand App Costs: The App Store wording: the data may be collected and linked to your identity.

Where is the privacy policy?

Rand App Costs: Each page links to the developer's policy; this site did not read it.

The trading account

A cost line is not a quote

Rand App Costs: What these pages read is the store's side: the listing. Opening a live account is a separate step with the broker, with identity checks and rules about sending money abroad that sit outside any app. Read the broker page before you decide, and do not trade with money you cannot afford to lose.
