4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

Each third-party service operates under its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review their respective policies.

5. Data Storage & Security

Your data is stored in Supabase's cloud infrastructure with Row Level Security (RLS) policies ensuring that users can only access their own data. We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (HTTPS/TLS), secure authentication, and regular security audits.

While we take reasonable measures to protect your information, no method of electronic storage or transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Cookies & Tracking

AlphaFinder uses essential cookies for authentication and session management. These are strictly necessary for the platform to function. We do not use advertising cookies or tracking pixels for third-party advertising purposes.

7. Data Retention

We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain certain records (e.g., billing records for tax purposes, which may be retained for up to 7 years).

Newsletter subscriber data is retained until you unsubscribe.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you

GDPR (EU/EEA): If you are a resident of the European Economic Area, you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation. Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interest (providing the service) and consent (newsletter/alerts).
