Security & API Access

CryptoSignalCircle is built with security and transparency in mind.
Your funds always remain on your exchange — CryptoSignalCircle never has access to them.

This page explains how your data is protected and how exchange API access works.

How exchange API access works​

To sync your trades, CryptoSignalCircle uses read-only API keys from your exchange.

This means CryptoSignalCircle can:

  • ✅ View your completed trades
  • ✅ Retrieve historical trading data

But cannot:

  • ❌ Place trades
  • ❌ Modify orders
  • ❌ Transfer or withdraw funds
  • ❌ Access your balance for spending

You stay fully in control of your exchange at all times.

Why read-only access is safe​

Read-only API access is commonly used by portfolio trackers, tax tools, and analytics platforms.

Because no trading or withdrawal permissions are granted:

  • Your funds cannot be moved
  • No changes can be made to your account
  • You can revoke access at any time

If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can simply delete the API key on your exchange.

How CryptoSignalCircle stores your API keys​

Your API keys are:

  • Encrypted at rest
  • Stored securely in our infrastructure
  • Accessible only to the services that need them for syncing

We never share your API keys with third parties.

What data we collect​

CryptoSignalCircle only collects what is necessary to provide the service:

  • Your synced trade history
  • Basic account information (email, account settings)
  • Metadata needed for performance calculations

For full details, see our Privacy Policy.

Your control over your data​

You can:

  • Disconnect an exchange at any time
  • Revoke API access directly on your exchange
  • Request deletion of your account and associated data

Once disconnected, no new trade data will be synced.

:::info Best practices when creating API keys When setting up your exchange API key:

  • Enable read-only permissions only
  • Do not enable withdrawals or trading
  • Use a descriptive name like “CryptoSignalCircle – Read Only”
  • Create a new key specifically for this purpose
    :::

If something looks wrong​

If you notice unexpected activity on your exchange:

  1. Revoke the API key immediately on your exchange
  2. Disconnect the exchange in CryptoSignalCircle
  3. Contact support if you need assistance

CryptoSignalCircle cannot move your funds — but revoking access is always the safest first step.
