Effective Date: October 9, 2026
QUSHi is operated by QUSHi, LLC, a Florida limited liability company. In this Privacy Policy, “QUSHi,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean QUSHi, LLC. For users in the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, QUSHi, LLC is the controller of the personal data described in this Privacy Policy.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, retain, and protect personal information when you use QUSHi, including our website, mobile app, simulated trading tools, virtual cash and virtual balances, QUSHi Coins, The Comeback, leaderboards, league play, Cash Games, competitions, community features, educational content, profiles, posts, charts, and related services.
QUSHi is a simulated trading, education, and community platform. QUSHi is not a bank and does not provide real money trading, brokerage services, trade execution, investment advice, financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, custody, banking, deposit accounts, or financial accounts. Any in-app feature names are product labels for simulated, entertainment, and educational functions only.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information we collect through QUSHi, including when you visit our website, create an account, use the mobile app, place simulated trades, join leagues, enter Cash Games or prize competitions, post content, interact with other users, contact support, or use any related feature. This Privacy Policy applies to users wherever located. Certain sections provide additional information for users in the United States, the European Union, the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.
Some features may have additional privacy notices, competition rules, eligibility screens, or feature-specific disclosures. If a feature-specific notice conflicts with this Privacy Policy, the feature-specific notice controls for that feature.
This Privacy Policy works together with our Terms of Service.
We may collect the following categories of personal information. Not every category applies to every user.
Account information: name, email address, phone number, username, handle, password or authentication information, profile photo, bio, country, state, confirmation that you meet our minimum age requirement, account settings, and preferences.
Public profile and community information: profile information, posts, comments, images, videos, charts, captions, likes, follows, fans, badges, rankings, leaderboards, league pages, league names and descriptions, league invitations, and other content or activity you submit or make available.
Direct messages and chat information: the content of private messages you send to or receive from other users, along with participants, timestamps, attachments, and delivery information. We use this to deliver your messages, operate chat, support safety, investigate reports, enforce our rules, and comply with the law.
Simulated trading and performance information: simulated orders, buys, sells, shorts, covers, holdings, open orders, closed trades, watchlists, portfolio values, virtual cash, virtual balances, QUSHi Coins, The Comeback activity, returns, drawdowns, win rate, profit factor, rankings, badges, leaderboard position, league results, and competition results. This activity is simulated. Virtual cash, virtual balances, simulated funds, and QUSHi Coins have no cash value and are not redeemable for money, except where separate official competition rules expressly provide a real cash prize.
League and competition information: league participation and settings, public or private league membership, competition registration, Cash Game entries, rosters, eligibility status, prize status, disqualification status, competition results, and official rules records.
Eligibility, verification, and prize information: for Cash Games, prize competitions, or restricted features, legal name, date of birth, country, state, location eligibility information, identity verification information, tax information, payment or payout information, affidavit or release information, and information needed to prevent duplicate entries, fraud, abuse, manipulation, or ineligible participation. Cash Games require a date of birth at entry to confirm you are 18 or older, and we may require additional verification after a competition before paying a prize.
Payment and purchase information: optional purchases in the mobile app, including The Comeback or other paid products, are processed through the applicable app store. Web app purchases, if offered, are processed through Stripe. Depending on the purchase, we may receive transaction identifiers, purchase amount and currency, purchase and refund status, billing contact information, and related records. The applicable payment provider processes payment details under its own terms and privacy notice.
Communications: messages you send to us, support requests, feedback, bug reports, survey responses, competition communications, legal notices, and other communications.
Device, usage, and technical information: IP address, device identifiers, mobile push tokens, browser type, device type, operating system, app version, pages and screens viewed, clicks, actions, referring URLs, session activity, crash logs, diagnostic data, approximate location derived from IP address, cookie identifiers, software development kit identifiers, and similar technical data.
Location information: approximate location based on IP address or device settings. For Cash Games, prize competitions, or legally restricted features, we may collect country, state, or other eligibility-related location information. We do not collect precise GPS location unless we clearly request permission and you allow it.
Inferences: likely interests, preferred assets, learning progress, engagement patterns, fraud or abuse risk, and feature recommendations.
Depending on the applicable law, some information may be considered sensitive personal information, such as government identification, date of birth, precise location, account access credentials, payment information, tax information, or information about users under certain ages.
We use sensitive personal information only as reasonably necessary to provide QUSHi, verify eligibility, process prizes, protect the Service, comply with law, and as otherwise permitted by applicable law. We do not use sensitive personal information for purposes that trigger a right to limit unless we provide the required notice and choice.
We may collect personal information from:
We may use personal information to:
Contract. We process personal information when necessary to provide QUSHi, manage accounts, provide simulated trading, operate leagues, process purchases, provide support, and enforce the Terms.
Legitimate interests. We process personal information for our legitimate interests, including operating and improving QUSHi, protecting the Service, preventing fraud and abuse, moderating content, securing accounts, measuring performance, developing features, and communicating with users. You can request a summary of our balancing test at contact@qushi.io.
Consent. We rely on consent where required, such as for certain cookies, analytics, marketing, push notifications, or other optional features. You may withdraw consent at any time.
Legal obligation. We process personal information when necessary to comply with laws, tax obligations, competition rules, lawful requests, fraud prevention requirements, age and eligibility rules, and recordkeeping requirements.
QUSHi is a community platform. Information you provide or generate may be visible to other logged-in QUSHi users depending on the feature, your settings, and league settings. This may include your handle, profile photo, bio, posts, comments, charts, follows, fans, badges, rankings, leaderboard position, simulated performance, virtual portfolio information, holdings, open orders, closed trades, league participation, league results, and competition activity.
Certain leagues may make portfolios, holdings, trade history, performance, or other simulated activity visible during or after a competition. Public leagues may be visible to other logged-in QUSHi users. Private leagues may be visible to league members, organizers, administrators, or others allowed by the feature design.
Content visible to other users can be copied, screenshotted, cached, embedded, or shared by others outside our control. Even after you delete or hide content, copies may persist in backups, on other users’ devices, in another user’s activity, or in third-party caches for a period of time. Review your visibility settings before posting, joining a league, entering a competition, or using public features.
Skill-based Cash Games and prize competitions are free to enter, have no entry fee, and require no purchase. A purchase will not improve your chances of winning. Cash Games and prize competitions are open only to eligible users who are 18 or older and who satisfy the location and verification requirements in the applicable Official Rules. Unless the applicable Official Rules state otherwise, skill-based Cash Games and real cash prize competitions are limited to eligible legal residents of the United States.
Residents of the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and other international territories are not eligible to enter Cash Games or win real cash prizes unless the applicable Official Rules expressly permit their participation.
We may collect and use personal information to confirm eligibility, prevent duplicate entries, enforce competition rules, process prizes, withhold or issue tax forms, verify identity, verify age, verify location, detect fraud, investigate manipulation, and comply with the law.
This may include legal name, date of birth, country, state, identity verification information, tax information, payment or payout information, affidavit or release information, device information, fraud prevention information, and eligibility-related location information. We collect your date of birth at entry to confirm you are 18 or older, and we may require additional verification after the competition ends and before we pay a prize.
We may use verification and fraud prevention information to detect VPN use, proxy use, geolocation spoofing, duplicate accounts, false identity, false residence, false age information, or other attempts to bypass eligibility restrictions.
If you do not provide the required verification information, you may not be able to enter, remain in, appear on a roster for, win, or receive a prize from a Cash Game or prize competition.
QUSHi may offer rewards, virtual items, badges, QUSHi Coins, competition rewards, profile or activity rewards, and similar incentives, as well as referral or invite features. Participating in these may require us to process account, activity, competition, referral, invite, and eligibility information, including limited information about people you invite.
Rewards, QUSHi Coins, and virtual items have no cash value and are not redeemable for money except where separate official rules expressly provide otherwise.
QUSHi may offer a paid track record reset feature called The Comeback in its mobile apps and web app. The Comeback lets you reset your main track record and start over with a new virtual balance. Mobile app purchases are processed through Apple App Store or Google Play billing, as applicable. Web app purchases, if offered, are processed through Stripe. We may receive related purchase records as described in Section 2.
The Comeback applies only to your main track record. When you reset, your main visible record starts over: your performance chart start date, your visible statistics, and your simulated balance begin again from the reset point. Competitions, including Cash Games, private leagues, and public leagues, each have their own separate record and leaderboard, and The Comeback does not affect them.
We retain records of resets and your prior simulated activity internally, as needed, to operate QUSHi, preserve competitive integrity, prevent manipulation, detect fraud, resolve disputes, and comply with the law. The Comeback does not delete your account or personal information, nor does it erase records we are required or permitted to keep.
We use essential technologies to provide QUSHi, secure accounts, process logins, remember settings, prevent fraud, and operate core features. These technologies remain active because QUSHi needs them to function.
Where permitted by applicable law and subject to your privacy choices, we use analytics, measurement, attribution, advertising, marketing, and personalization technologies to understand how people use QUSHi, improve the Service, diagnose technical problems, measure campaigns, and support advertising. QUSHi does not display third-party ads inside the app.
These and other analytics or advertising technologies may collect or use information such as IP address, device and cookie identifiers, approximate location, referring URLs, advertising click identifiers, pages or screens viewed, clicks, session activity, app installations, account registrations, purchases, and other conversion events. We may use this information to:
We use the following partners. Web tags, mobile software development kits, and server-to-server event APIs are subject to the applicable privacy choice. Google Tag Manager is a tag container; the tags it loads follow their own categories and consent rules.
Google Analytics 4: website use and conversion measurement. Category: Analytics. How it runs: web tag or server event.
Firebase Analytics: app use and conversion measurement. Category: Analytics. How it runs: mobile software development kit.
Firebase Crashlytics: app crashes, reliability, and operational diagnostics. Category: Operational diagnostics. How it runs: mobile software development kit. Consent treatment: starts with the app and is not gated by analytics or advertising consent. We do not attach user ID, email, custom data, or advertising identifiers to crash reports. Analytics breadcrumbs follow your analytics permission and are attached to crash reports only when analytics permission is enabled.
AppsFlyer: web-to-app and mobile install attribution. Category: Advertising. How it runs: web script and mobile software development kit.
Google Ads: ad conversion measurement and remarketing. Category: Advertising. How it runs: web tag or server event.
Meta: ad conversion measurement and remarketing. Category: Advertising. How it runs: web pixel or server event.
TikTok: ad conversion measurement and remarketing. Category: Advertising. How it runs: web pixel or server event.
Reddit: ad conversion measurement and remarketing. Category: Advertising. How it runs: web pixel or server event.
OpenAI ChatGPT Ads: ad conversion measurement. Category: Advertising. How it runs: web pixel or server event.
Google Tag Manager: loads web tags according to applicable choices. Category: Essential container. How it runs: web tag container.
Firebase Cloud Messaging: delivers opted-in push notifications. Category: Essential function. How it runs: mobile software development kit.
Login and session cookies: authentication and security. Category: Essential. How it runs: web cookies.
Apple App Store and Google Play: mobile app purchases, subscriptions, refunds, app distribution, and related records. Category: Payment and app platform. How it runs: app store platform services.
Stripe: web app purchases, refunds, and related records, if web purchases are offered. Category: Payment provider. How it runs: hosted payment processing and payment records.
These technologies may use IP address, cookie or device identifiers where permitted, referring URLs, pages or screens viewed, advertising click identifiers, app installations, registrations, purchases, and conversion events.
We do not disclose private chat content, passwords, government identification documents, tax records, payout verification documents, or precise GPS location to advertising partners for advertising purposes. Retention of information held by QUSHi is described in Section 14. Independent partners may have their own retention periods.
In the European Union, European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, nonessential Analytics and Advertising cookies, identifiers, and partner event sharing remain off until you consent on the website or in the app.
Essential technologies and operational diagnostics may run regardless of analytics or advertising choices when needed for login, security, crash reporting, reliability, fraud prevention, and core service operation. Analytics breadcrumbs used with crash reporting follow your analytics choices.
Elsewhere, these technologies may be on by default where law permits, and you may turn them off through the available privacy controls. We honor applicable Global Privacy Control signals in web browsers for sale or sharing and targeted advertising choices.
Where configured, Google Consent Mode may send limited cookieless signals to Google without storing nonessential cookies or advertising identifiers for aggregate measurement and modeling. This does not turn on other advertising partner tags when consent is denied.
You may change your choices using the privacy control in the qushi.io footer or Your Privacy Choices in app Settings. Privacy controls are also available in the web app at app.qushi.io. You may use applicable browser and device controls.
On iOS, we do not request App Tracking Transparency permission or access the advertising identifier. iOS advertising attribution is aggregate, and we do not create user-level iOS remarketing audiences.
The QUSHi mobile app may request device permissions, such as notifications, photos, camera, or storage, depending on the feature. We access permission-based information only when you grant permission or use the related feature. You may manage permissions through your device settings.
If you allow push notifications, Activity alerts may include order fills, price alerts, league results, messages, and comments. Tips and announcements remain off until you turn them on. You can manage these choices in Settings > Notifications and through your device settings. Turning off push does not disable notifications inside QUSHi.
We do not sell your personal information for money. Certain advertising disclosures may be considered a sale or sharing under applicable law; see Section 13. We may share personal information with:
We do not sell personal information for money.
Where permitted by applicable law and subject to your privacy choices, we may disclose identifiers, internet or electronic network activity, commercial information, approximate geolocation information, and inferences to analytics, measurement, attribution, advertising, and marketing partners.
We may make these disclosures to attribute visits, installations, registrations, purchases, and other conversions to advertising campaigns; measure advertising reach, frequency, and performance; create or use audiences for remarketing; personalize advertisements based on interactions with QUSHi; limit repeated advertisements; and detect invalid traffic or advertising fraud.
Depending on the applicable law and how a partner processes the information, these disclosures may be considered a sale, sharing, targeted advertising, or cross-context behavioral advertising.
You may opt out of applicable sale, sharing, targeted advertising, cross-context behavioral advertising, remarketing, and advertising personalization by using Cookie Preferences, Your Privacy Choices, the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, a qualifying opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control, or by contacting contact@qushi.io.
When you exercise an applicable advertising privacy choice, we will not use or disclose your personal information for the purposes covered by that choice. We may continue to conduct permitted analytics, security, fraud prevention, service measurement, contextual advertising, and aggregated or deidentified campaign measurement. Exercising an advertising privacy choice does not necessarily prevent you from seeing advertisements.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of users under 16 without the affirmative authorization required by applicable law.
You may opt out of marketing emails through the unsubscribe link or by contacting us. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send service, security, account, competition, legal, or transactional messages while you have an account.
We retain information according to the periods below. When you delete your account, the account deletion schedule takes priority for information in QUSHi active systems linked to your account, except for the specific records and legal preservation obligations described below. Copies held by outside partners are addressed below.
Account deletion: when you delete your account, we deactivate it and remove its content from other users’ view. Account information, profile, posts and media, including pinned posts, comments, chats you sent, portfolio, simulated trade history, watchlists, and other account-linked information remain soft deleted for 30 days. On day 31, we permanently remove that information from active systems. After this purge, we cannot recover it from active systems.
Feed posts: posts and their comments, attachments, images, videos, and thumbnails are permanently deleted 90 days after the post was published. A pinned post may remain beyond 90 days while pinned. Once unpinned, it is deleted if it is already older than 90 days. If you delete a post yourself, it is soft deleted for up to 30 days and then permanently deleted, or deleted when it reaches 90 days from publication, whichever comes first. Deleting your account instead subjects all your posts, including pinned posts, to the account deletion schedule above.
Chats: if you delete your account, your sent messages disappear immediately from the other person’s view. They see “Deleted user” with your side of the thread blank, while their own messages remain visible to them. Your message records are soft deleted during the 30-day account deletion period and permanently deleted on day 31. If you delete an entire chat while keeping your account, only your view of that conversation is removed; the other person’s view is unchanged, and this action does not itself purge the messages. If you chat with that person again, your new thread shows only new messages, while the other person may still see their earlier history. If you delete one message in a chat, it is soft deleted from your view; the other person’s view is unchanged. Chats you do not delete remain for the life of your account.
Main track record and competitions: The Comeback resets your visible main track record but does not delete prior activity while your account remains active. League and Cash Game records are separate from The Comeback. Account-linked trading, portfolio, league, and competition records follow the day 31 account deletion schedule, except for the records specified below.
Specific retained records: prize payout, payment, purchase, tax, and associated verification records are retained for seven years where needed for accounting and legal recordkeeping. Information subject to a valid subpoena, court order, or other binding preservation obligation received before its scheduled deletion is retained as required by that obligation. These exceptions do not keep a deleted account active or preserve its posts, chats, and simulated trading history generally.
Support communications: account-linked support communications follow the account deletion schedule, except when they form part of the specific retained records above. Other support correspondence may be kept for up to 24 months.
Analytics and experience data: identifiable data for visitors with or without an account may be kept by QUSHi for up to 14 months. Advertising and attribution data: identifiable data for visitors with or without an account may be kept by QUSHi for up to 25 months. Account-linked data in QUSHi active systems follows the day 31 account deletion schedule. Copies already received by service providers processing on our behalf are governed by our instructions and their configured deletion and retention processes. Advertising partners acting as independent controllers retain data under their own policies, which may differ from our periods. Aggregated or de-identified data that no longer identifies you may be retained.
Backups and restores: database backups made before a deletion may still contain account data after the day 31 active system purge. Under the current backup schedule, those copies expire no later than approximately day 66 after account deletion. They are kept for disaster recovery, not ordinary use. We maintain a limited deletion record outside the restored database to reapply account deletions if a backup is restored. Media files and their stored versions are removed from active storage at the applicable purge. Once the relevant active copies and backups have expired, we cannot retrieve the deleted information.
We may retain records longer where reasonably necessary for an ongoing dispute, claim, investigation, audit, legal hold, fraud review, tax matter, regulatory request, or enforcement action, until that matter is resolved.
We use reasonable technical, organizational, and administrative safeguards to protect personal information, including access controls, encryption, authentication, monitoring, vendor review, and logging. Passwords created for QUSHi accounts are stored as one-way hashes; our staff cannot read the original password. No system is completely secure. You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and notifying us if you believe someone has accessed your account without authorization.
If a data breach affecting your personal information occurs, we will notify you and the relevant authorities, where required by law and within the timeframes set by law.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to:
To exercise your rights, contact contact@qushi.io or use the privacy tools we make available. We will respond within the time required by applicable law. We may verify your identity before processing certain requests, and we may deny or limit requests where allowed by law, including for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, user privacy, technical limitations, competition integrity, dispute resolution, enforcement, backups, or protection of QUSHi.
This section applies where required by California or other United States state privacy laws.
We collect the categories of personal information described in this Privacy Policy, including identifiers, account information, internet or electronic network activity, commercial information, geolocation information, audio or visual content you provide, inferences, and sensitive personal information where applicable. We use and disclose these categories for the business and commercial purposes described above, and to the categories of recipients in Section 12.
We do not sell personal information for money. We may share personal information for targeted advertising or cross-context behavioral advertising, where permitted by law and your choices. You may opt out using Cookie Preferences, privacy settings, the “Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information” link, a qualifying opt-out preference signal such as Global Privacy Control, or by contacting contact@qushi.io.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of users under 16 without affirmative authorization, except as required by law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising privacy rights, although some features may not work without the information needed to provide them.
California Shine the Light. California residents may request information about disclosures of personal information to third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes.
QUSHi is not intended for and is not directed to children under 16. Users under 16 may not create an account or use QUSHi.
You must be at least 16 years old to create a standard QUSHi account, unless your jurisdiction requires a higher minimum age. If we learn that a user is under 16 or otherwise does not meet QUSHi’s age or eligibility requirements, we may block account creation, deny access, suspend or close the account, remove the user from competitions, withhold prizes, delete information, or take other action consistent with our Terms and applicable law.
You must be at least 18 years old to enter Cash Games, real cash prize competitions, or any feature involving real cash prizes.
We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of any user under 16 without the affirmative authorization required by law. Where additional protections apply to minors’ data, we apply them as required. Parents or guardians may contact contact@qushi.io with privacy concerns involving a minor.
QUSHi uses algorithms, automated systems, rules, and scoring to operate simulated trading, calculate leaderboards, rank users, assign badges, detect fraud, identify duplicate accounts, enforce competition rules, moderate activity, and protect the Service. These may affect visibility, rankings, eligibility, access to features, competition results, disqualification, or prize processing.
Prize disqualification, prize withholding, and Cash Game eligibility decisions may involve automated flags, but QUSHi or its competition administrators may review final prize-related decisions. We do not make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects about you based solely on automated processing without human involvement. Where required by law, you may request information about certain automated decisions or object to certain processing by contacting contact@qushi.io.
QUSHi is based in the United States. Your personal information may be processed in the United States and other countries where our service providers or we operate, which may have privacy laws that differ from those in your country.
Where required, we use appropriate safeguards for international transfers, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses, the United Kingdom International Data Transfer Agreement or Addendum, adequacy decisions, transfer impact assessments, or other lawful mechanisms. You can request more information at contact@qushi.io.
QUSHi may integrate service providers that process personal information on our behalf or, depending on the service and applicable terms, as independent controllers. We require providers acting on our behalf to process information consistently with applicable contracts and legal requirements. QUSHi may also link to external websites and services that we do not control. Those external services operate under their own privacy policies, and we are not responsible for their independent practices.
Trading on QUSHi is simulated using virtual cash and virtual balances and does not involve real money or actual brokerage transactions. Performance metrics, leaderboards, and portfolios are simulated for educational and competitive purposes only. Do not rely on simulated performance as indicative of real-world or future results.
If you download QUSHi from the Apple App Store or Google Play, your use is also subject to those stores’ terms. The practices described here are intended to align with the privacy information we disclose in the app stores, including Google Play’s Data Safety section.
On iOS, we do not request App Tracking Transparency permission or access the iOS advertising identifier. iOS advertising attribution is aggregate, and we do not create user-level iOS remarketing audiences. We describe our app data practices in the applicable app store privacy disclosures.
We may create aggregated or deidentified data that does not identify you and use it for any lawful purpose, including analytics, research, and improving the Service. We will maintain such data in deidentified form, will not attempt to reidentify it except as permitted by law, and will require recipients to do the same where applicable.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will provide reasonable notice via QUSHi, email, the app, or another reasonable method, and we will update the effective date above. The updated Privacy Policy is effective when posted or as otherwise stated in the notice.
