1. Information We Collect
We collect minimal personal data to operate the Platform securely and effectively. This includes:
- Account Registration Details: Email address, first name, username, and secure password hashes.
- Google Sign-In Profile Data: Email address, first name, and Google ID token identifier (only if using Google OAuth 2.0).
- Usage Logs & Preferences: Speculative watchlist selections (tickers you watch), search history logs, page navigation activity, and daily search limits.
- Device Metadata: Browser type, operating system, and IP address for security rate-limiting and session verification.
2. How We Use Your Information
We process your data for the following essential business purposes:
- To authenticate your identity during sign-in and manage your premium portfolio watchlist.
- To secure the site from abuse by enforcing daily search rates and API limits.
- To send operational emails, such as password reset instructions (via Amazon Simple Email Service).
- To analyze aggregate, non-identifying traffic statistics to optimize server performance and caching speeds.
3. Data Security & Storage
We implement industry-standard security protocols to keep your information safe:
- Passwords are salted and securely hashed using standard PBKDF2 cryptography prior to database insertion. We never store plain text passwords.
- Your profile and watchlist data is stored securely in Amazon Web Services (AWS) DynamoDB, using secure identity policies.
- All network traffic is encrypted in transit using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) / HTTPS.
4. Third-Party Sharing
We do NOT sell, rent, trade, or share your personal data with third-party advertisers or data brokers. Your data is shared strictly with infrastructure service providers (like AWS) for hosting, database management, and transaction email processing.
5. Cookies & Local Storage
We use secure cookies and HTML5 local storage techniques solely to maintain your login session across refreshes and ensure you don’t have to repeatedly re-enter your credentials. No cross-site advertisement or marketing tracking cookies are loaded.
6. Your Rights & Data Erasure
You retain full control over your data. You have the right to view, modify, or erase your account data. You can update your profile or permanently delete your account directly inside the Account Profile panel. Account deletion immediately purges all watchlist records, credentials, and profile details from our database.
