A social investing platform that allows users to buy and sell stocks, ETFs, and other securities while sharing investment ideas and following other investors' portfolios. The platform combines traditional brokerage services with social media features, enabling users to discuss investments and view real-time trading activity from other members. Their policies are significant for users as they govern how personal financial data and investment information are handled, along with the terms under which trading services and social features are provided.
