Street
Privacy and Terms
Last updated November 10, 2026
The short version
- We only save what the site needs to work: your email, your name, your school (if you joined a class), and what you do in the trading game.
- We never sell your information, never show ads, and never share it with advertisers.
- All money on Simple Street is pretend. You can't buy real stocks or lose real money here.
- Nothing on Simple Street is financial advice.
- You can ask us to delete your account and everything in it at any time.
What we save about you
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Email and password | So you can log in. Your password is scrambled (hashed) by our login service, so nobody, including us, can read it. |
| Your name | Shown on leaderboards and to your teacher. You can use a first name and last initial. |
| Your school and class code | Only if you join a class. It puts you on your school's leaderboard and Class Portfolio. |
| Your trading game activity | Your pretend cash, the stocks you own, your trades and waiting orders, and your account value each day. |
| Your watchlist | The stocks you chose to follow. |
| Friends and invite links | Only if you use them, to show your friends leaderboard. |
| Suggestions and votes | Ideas sent in the Submit Suggestion box. These are not tied to your name. |
We don't ask for your address, phone number, birthday, photos, or any real bank or brokerage account.
Who can see it
- You can see everything in your own account.
- Other students and players only see your leaderboard name and your % gain. They can't see what you own or what you traded.
- Your teacher can see the trading game accounts of students at their own school, so they can help and grade. Teachers can't see other schools.
- Site admins (the students who run Simple Street) can see accounts so they can fix problems and keep the site safe.
These rules are built into the database, not just the web page, so they can't be skipped by changing the page.
Services we use
Simple Street runs on a few outside services. Each one only gets what it needs to do its job.
- Supabase stores logins and the trading game.
- GitHub Pages hosts the website.
- Cloudflare runs our news brief server and the Suggestions box. It counts requests per internet address for one day to stop spam.
- Finnhub and TradingView provide prices, charts and headlines. TradingView's charts load from TradingView's own site.
- Google Gemini writes news briefs when you search a stock. It only receives the stock and news articles, never your name or email.
Your browser also remembers a few settings on your own device, like staying logged in, your last color theme, and an invite link you opened.
Students and parents
Simple Street is made for high school students and adults. If you are under 13, please don't make an account. Parents and guardians can ask us what is saved about their student, or ask us to delete it, using the email below.
When a school or district uses Simple Street, we follow the school's student data rules and will sign the data agreement the school needs.
Deleting your account
Email us from the address you signed up with and ask us to delete your account. We'll delete your login and your game account, trades, watchlist and friends within 30 days.
Rules for using Simple Street
- For education only. Briefs, prices and leaderboards are for learning. Nothing here tells you to buy or sell a real investment.
- AI-written briefs can be wrong. Check the sources linked in each brief before you trust it.
- Prices can be late or wrong. They come from free services and may be delayed.
- Be fair. Use one class account and one personal account, don't try to break or trick the game, and keep leaderboard names respectful. We may remove accounts that don't follow these rules.
- No guarantees. The site is free and is offered as it is. It may change or go offline.
Questions
Email [email protected]. If we change this page in a way that matters, we'll update the date at the top and tell users on the site.
