Privacy

We may collect account details such as email address, login identifiers, subscription tier, payment status, watchlists, saved tickers, alert preferences, support messages, and basic product usage events. We may also collect technical information such as IP address, device type, browser, referring page, request logs, error logs, and approximate location from network metadata.

We use information to operate the product, authenticate users, manage access, process subscriptions, deliver alerts, improve ranking and relevance, detect abuse, debug errors, monitor source and data-source health, comply with obligations, and understand whether AlphaYou is useful to users.

If paid access is enabled, payment details may be processed by a third-party payment provider. AlphaYou should store only the payment metadata needed to manage access, such as provider customer IDs, subscription IDs, tier, status, renewal dates, and webhook events. We do not need to store full card numbers.

When you call the AlphaYou API we record the key, the endpoint, the day, how many requests the call cost, and whether it was turned away. We also record the caller’s IP address and the account behind a free key, using its email address in a normalized form that treats aliases such as name+2@gmail.com as one inbox. We also record, as a short code, which companies and funds each key asked about each day, only to detect bulk copying. We never use what you look up to make, rank or time our calls, and we never sell or share it. We use this to enforce limits, detect abuse, support you, and fix faults. Daily usage and address records are kept about 35 days, short-term limit counters a few days, and abuse flags for as long as needed to review them. The API terms explain the limits.

Watchlists, saved tickers, dismissals, alerts, and product interactions may be used to order and filter what you see and to improve the research system. They never change the data, score or verdict shown for any security. Do not add information you consider highly sensitive unless the product explicitly supports that use.

We may share information with infrastructure, analytics, authentication, payment, email, alerting, security, and support providers that help run AlphaYou. We may also disclose information if required by law, to protect rights and safety, to investigate abuse, or as part of a business transfer.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide the product, maintain source and billing records, debug issues, satisfy legal obligations, and improve the system. Signal receipts and public historical records may remain available because past accountability is part of the product.

You may request access, correction, deletion, or export of your personal account information by contacting support. Some records may be retained where required for security, billing, fraud prevention, compliance, or public data integrity.
