Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how StrikeScan ("we," "our," or "us") collects, uses, and shares your personal information when you use our application. By using our service, you consent to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

Personal Information: When you register for an account, we collect information such as your name, email address, and any other information you voluntarily provide.

Usage Data: We collect information about how you interact with our application, including the pages you visit, features you use, trading preferences, and time spent on the platform.

Device Information: We collect information about the device you use to access our service, including IP address, browser type, operating system, device identifiers, and mobile network information.

Cookies and Tracking: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your experience and collect usage statistics.

Brokerage Data: When you connect a third-party brokerage account (such as Alpaca, Tradier, Tastytrade, or others), we receive an OAuth access token that allows us to execute trades on your behalf. We do not store your brokerage login credentials. We may access account information such as positions, balances, and order history solely to provide our services. Brokerage access tokens are stored securely using encryption and can be revoked at any time by disconnecting your broker in your account settings.

Trading Data: When you place trades through StrikeScan, we collect information about those trades including ticker symbols, strike prices, order types, quantities, and execution details. This information is used to maintain your trade journal and provide analytics on your trading activity.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide, maintain, and improve our services
• Process and complete transactions
• Transmit your trade instructions to your connected brokerage for execution
• Display your brokerage account information, positions, and order status within StrikeScan
• Send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages
• Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
• Personalize your experience and deliver content relevant to your interests
• Monitor and analyze trends, usage, and activities in connection with our service
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues and security threats
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms of service

4. Sharing Your Information

We may share your personal information with:

• Brokerage Partners: When you connect your brokerage account and place trades, your trade instructions (including ticker symbol, quantity, order type, and price) are transmitted directly to your chosen broker for execution. We share only the information necessary to execute your requested trades. We do not share your personal information with brokers beyond what is required for trade execution and account connectivity.
• Service Providers: Companies that perform services on our behalf, such as email delivery, hosting services, analytics providers, and customer service. These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements.
• For Legal Reasons: If required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, such as a court or government agency.
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
• With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties when you give us explicit consent to do so.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes.

5. Brokerage Data Security

We take the security of your brokerage connections seriously and implement the following safeguards:

• We never store your brokerage username or password — we use industry-standard OAuth 2.0 tokens for account access
• All brokerage access tokens are encrypted at rest and in transit
• We request only the minimum permissions necessary to execute trades and display account information
• You can disconnect your brokerage account and revoke our access at any time through your StrikeScan account settings or directly through your broker's website
• We do not have the ability to withdraw funds from your brokerage account

6. General Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, secure server protocols, and regular security assessments.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

• Access: Request access to your personal information and receive a copy of the data we hold about you
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information
• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information (subject to legal requirements)
• Restriction: Request restriction of processing under certain circumstances
• Data Portability: Request a copy of your data in a structured, machine-readable format
• Objection: Object to processing of your personal information for certain purposes
• Withdraw Consent: Withdraw consent for processing where we rely on consent
• Disconnect Brokers: Disconnect any connected brokerage account and revoke our access at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request within 30 days.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies to enhance your experience. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling cookies may limit some functionality of our service.

9. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. When we no longer need your information, we will securely delete or anonymize it.

Brokerage access tokens are retained only while your broker connection is active. When you disconnect a broker, the associated access token is immediately and permanently deleted from our systems.

10. International Data Transfers

Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own. We ensure that such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and implement appropriate safeguards.

11. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to delete such information.

12. Third-Party Links

Our service may contain links to third-party websites or services, including brokerage platforms. This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit, including your brokerage provider.

13. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal, operational, or regulatory reasons. We will notify you of any material changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. We may also notify you via email or through our service.
