Short version: the app tracks public disclosure records. It does not accuse anyone of illegal conduct, place trades, or represent any politician, government office, party, agency, issuer, or insider.
Is insider trading tracking legal?
Tracking public filings is legal. The app searches public SEC Form 4 filings and public STOCK Act disclosures after they have been filed. Illegal insider trading is a separate legal question involving material nonpublic information, intent, duties, and enforcement facts. A public disclosure record alone does not prove wrongdoing.
Are these trades illegal insider trading?
Not by default. Executives, directors, major shareholders, members of Congress, spouses, and dependents can have reportable transactions that are legally disclosed. The tracker reports the disclosed transaction; it does not make legal conclusions.
Where does the data come from?
The data is compiled from official public disclosure documents, including SEC Form 4 filings for corporate insiders and STOCK Act disclosure records for congressional trading. Where available, records include source links or tracker links back to the relevant public disclosure context.
Is the app affiliated with politicians?
No. Insider Trading Tracking is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or authorized by any politician, congressional office, political party, committee, government agency, company, executive, director, or shareholder shown in the data.
Is this official government software?
No. The app uses public official documents as source material, but the app itself is not operated by the SEC, Congress, the House, the Senate, or any other government body.
Does the app provide investment advice?
No. Results are for research and educational use. They are not personalized financial advice, legal advice, tax advice, brokerage recommendations, or instructions to buy or sell any security.
Why track politician trades?
Congressional trades are disclosed under public reporting rules, often after a delay. Tracking them can help users research timing patterns, disclosure lag, repeat tickers, and historical context without treating any record as proof of misconduct.
Why track SEC Form 4 trades?
Form 4 filings report transactions by corporate insiders such as officers, directors, and beneficial owners. Open-market purchases may be useful context, while grants, option exercises, tax withholding, gifts, and planned sales can mean very different things.
Can the data be wrong or delayed?
Yes. Public filings may be amended, delayed, coded inconsistently, or imported with parsing errors. Users should verify important records against the linked official disclosure before relying on them.
Can I trade through the app?
No. The app is read-only. It does not connect to brokerage accounts, execute orders, manage portfolios, or custody funds.
What is the refund policy?
Tycoon offers a full refund within 7 days of the first paid charge when requested through support. If you are on a free trial, cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged. Access continues until the end of the paid period after cancellation unless a refund is issued.
How do I request support or a refund?
Use the support page and include the account email, the charge date, and a short description of the issue. Do not send passwords, brokerage credentials, Social Security numbers, or payment card details.
