How we handle your uploads

Last updated: 4 November 2026.

Some member tools turn a file you upload (for example a trade list, a broker report or a tradebook) into a report. This page explains exactly what happens to that file. In short: it is used only for your result, never kept, never shared and never used to trade or to train AI.

Free tools: nothing is uploaded

Tip Check's screenshot reader, Truth Test and other free tools read your file inside your browser. The file does not leave your device.

Workspace tools: step by step

1. You sign in and choose a tool, a file and your settings.
2. The file travels over HTTPS (through Cloudflare) to our server in Australia. Only signed-in users can send files: up to 25 MB per file, within the daily run limit shown in your Workspace.
3. Our software reads the file and makes your result (for example a PDF and a CSV). No person looks at it.
4. The uploaded file is deleted as soon as the run finishes, whether it worked or not. If anything crashes, a clean-up job removes leftovers within an hour.
5. Your result is kept for 24 hours so you can download it (and, if you ask, email it to yourself), then it is deleted automatically.

What we keep

A short record for each run: the time, your account id, the tool, how long it took, the file size, whether it worked, and the short summary shown on your screen (for your results list). It never includes the file itself. It helps us fix problems and enforce the daily limit. You can ask us to delete your run records at any time by emailing hello@tradingcheckup.com.

What we never do

• Keep copies of your file, or your result files after 24 hours.
• Share your file or result with anyone, including brokers or prop firms.
• Use your trades or strategy to trade, to build our own strategies, or to train AI models.
• Sell anything about you.

What you should do

• Upload only your own files, or files you have permission to use.
• Remove account numbers, names or other personal details from a file if the tool does not need them. Most reports need only dates, symbols and results.
• Download your result within 24 hours.

If a tool uses an outside service

If a tool ever needs an outside service to process part of your file, its page will say so before you upload. Today no Workspace tool sends your file to an outside service. The backtest tool may download public price history for the market you pick (only the market name and dates are sent). If you choose to email a result to yourself, the email (with the result attached) is sent through our email delivery provider, Resend (United States), and we keep a record that it was sent, not its contents.
