Who we are
This Privacy Policy explains how Makki Brothers, a brand operated by AKL Group LLC ("we," "us," or "our"), handles personal information when you visit our website, create an account, subscribe to our automated trading services, or contact us.
We are the data controller for the information described here. If you have any questions, you can reach us at theaklgroupllc@gmail.com.
Information we collect
We collect information you give us directly, information created when you use our Services, and a limited amount collected automatically.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Account & contact | Name, email address, phone number, and the username you use on connected platforms (e.g. your charting/TradingView username). |
| Subscription | Plan, status, strategy access, indicator slots, and your chosen risk settings. |
| Payment | Billing details processed by our payment provider. We do not store full card numbers on our servers. |
| Support & communications | Messages, consultation bookings, and notes from setup sessions. |
| Technical | IP address, browser type, device, and pages visited, collected automatically. |
We do not request or store your brokerage login passwords, and we never have withdrawal access to your funds.
How we use your information
- To create and manage your account and subscription.
- To provision strategy and indicator access tied to your platform username.
- To process payments, renewals, and billing through our payment provider.
- To provide setup help, consultations, and ongoing support.
- To send service messages such as access confirmations, billing notices, and important updates.
- To maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and keep activity logs.
- To improve our website, strategies, and customer experience.
- To comply with legal and regulatory obligations.
Why we're allowed to use it
Where required by law, we rely on the following bases to process your information: to perform our contract with you (running your subscription), our legitimate interests (securing and improving the Services), your consent (for example, non-essential cookies or marketing, where applicable), and to meet our legal obligations.
Who we share information with
We do not sell your personal information. We share it only with service providers that help us operate, and only as needed:
- Payment processing — to handle subscriptions and billing securely.
- Authentication, database & hosting — to run your member portal and store account data.
- Email & notifications — to send service and support messages.
- Scheduling — to book and manage consultations.
- Signal relay & automation platforms — to route trade signals to the broker account you connect.
- Legal & safety — when required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect rights and safety.
These providers are bound to use your information only to provide their services to us.
Brokerage & trading data
You connect your own U.S.-regulated brokerage or prop-firm account through third-party automation tools. Those connections are governed by the broker's and the automation platform's own privacy policies and agreements.
We may store the configuration needed to deliver signals to your account — such as your platform username, indicator slots, and risk amount — but we do not hold custody of your funds and cannot withdraw from your account. You stay in control at all times.
Cookies & analytics
Our website may use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the site is used. Essential cookies are required for the site to function. You can control non-essential cookies through your browser settings; disabling some cookies may affect functionality.
We may use privacy-respecting analytics and search tools (such as web search consoles) to measure traffic and improve the site.
Data retention
We keep your information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Services. After that, we retain certain records as required for legal, tax, accounting, fraud-prevention, and dispute-resolution purposes, then delete or anonymize it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encrypted connections and access controls on our member portal and admin tools. No system is perfectly secure, however, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for keeping your own account credentials confidential.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. Where applicable, U.S. state privacy laws (such as California's) give you the right to know what we collect, to request deletion, and not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To make a request, email theaklgroupllc@gmail.com. We may need to verify your identity before acting on a request.
Children
Our Services are intended for adults and are not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a minor has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
Changes & contact
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above, and significant changes may be communicated to you directly. Your continued use of the Services after changes take effect means you accept the updated policy.
