Privacy Policy
Last updated: February 2026
Overview
Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and what choices you have. The short version: we collect only what's needed to run the service, we don't sell your data, and we don't show ads.
What We Collect
When you use stocks-notify, we collect:
- Account information — your email address and display name when you sign up (directly or via Google sign-in)
- Watchlist data — the stocks you track, your alert thresholds, and notification preferences
- Telegram connection — your Telegram chat ID when you link your account to receive alerts
- Usage data — basic information like when you log in and which features you use, to help us improve the service
What We Don't Collect
- We don't collect your brokerage credentials or financial account details
- We don't track your browsing activity outside of stocks-notify
- We don't collect payment card details directly — payments are handled by our payment processor
How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Provide the service — monitor your selected stocks and send alerts when thresholds are met
- Authenticate your account and keep it secure
