Definitions

When we use the term "personal data" or "personal information" in this Privacy Policy, we mean any information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked — directly or indirectly — to a particular individual or household. This includes "personal information" as defined under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and "personal data" as defined under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Who We Are

This Privacy Policy describes how Alpha Sentinel ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and protects personal information in connection with our website at www.alphasentinel.ai (the "Site") and any related services, including any future mobile applications (collectively, the "Services").

Alpha Sentinel is a financial publisher — not a registered investment adviser. All content we provide is for informational and educational purposes only. Nothing on our platform constitutes investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security.

When we collect your personal data through our Services, we act as the "controller" (as defined under the GDPR) and the "business" (as defined under the CCPA/CPRA) with respect to that data.

By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our Services.

Information We Collect

3.1 — Information You Provide Directly

When you create an account, subscribe, or contact us, we may collect:

• Name and email address
• Phone number
• Watchlist tickers (the stock symbols you choose to monitor)
• Communications you send to us (e.g., support requests, vulnerability reports)

3.2 — Information We Never Collect

We do not collect, store, or have access to any of the following:

Your payment information is collected and processed exclusively by our payment processor, Stripe, Inc. We never see, transmit, or store your card number or full payment details. Stripe's use of your data is governed by their privacy policy at stripe.com/privacy.

3.3 — Information Collected Automatically

When you use our Services, we may automatically collect:

• Log data: IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps
• Device identifiers and general geolocation derived from IP address
• Alert history: a record of the alerts we sent you and when
• Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 8)

3.4 — Information from Third-Party Sources

We may receive limited information about you from third-party analytics platforms or publicly available sources. We do not purchase personal information from data brokers. If you interact with us through social media platforms, we may receive basic profile information you have made publicly available on those platforms.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Providing, maintaining, and improving the Services, including delivering your watchlist alerts
• Processing your subscription and managing your account
• Communicating with you about service updates, security notices, and support inquiries
• Detecting, investigating, and preventing fraudulent, unauthorized, or illegal activity
• Performing internal analytics to improve product quality and user experience
• Complying with applicable legal obligations
• Enforcing our Terms of Service

We do not use your information to provide personalized investment advice. We do not sell your personal information. We do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling that produces legal or similarly significant effects on you.

How We Share Your Information

We share personal information only in the following limited circumstances:

5.1 — Service Providers

We engage a small number of trusted third-party providers to perform services on our behalf. Each receives only the minimum data necessary. See Section 6 for a complete list.

5.2 — Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request, or where disclosure is necessary to protect rights, safety, investigate fraud, or respond to a lawful government request.

5.3 — Business Transfers

If Alpha Sentinel is involved in a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or asset sale, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any change in ownership via email and/or prominent notice on our Site.

5.4 — Aggregated or De-Identified Data

We may create and share aggregated or de-identified data that cannot reasonably be used to identify you. Such data is not personal information and may be used for any lawful purpose.

5.5 — No Sale or Sharing for Advertising

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties for their marketing or advertising purposes. We do not "share" personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising as that term is defined under the CCPA/CPRA. We do not permit third-party advertising networks to collect data from our Services.

Third-Party Service Providers

We integrate with a small number of external services. Each is best-in-class for its purpose.

Market data providers have no visibility into who you are or what you're watching. Data flows one way: from them to us. AI providers process only the content necessary for the specific feature in use — never your personal account information.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect your information.

No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we are committed to protecting your personal information and promptly addressing any vulnerability, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate and improve our Services.

The information generated by Google Analytics cookies about your use of our Site is transmitted to and stored by Google on their servers. Google may use this information to evaluate your use of the Services, compile reports on site activity, and provide related services. To learn more about Google Analytics and your choices, visit tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We do not use advertising cookies, third-party tracking cookies, or web beacons for advertising purposes. You can manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies may impair your ability to use the Services.

Do Not Track

Our Site does not currently respond to "Do Not Track" browser signals. We will update this Policy if we adopt a Do Not Track standard in the future.

AI & Automated Tools

Alpha Sentinel uses artificial intelligence tools to power certain features of the Services, including generating market summaries and analysis. These tools are provided by third-party providers — specifically Anthropic (Claude) and OpenAI (ChatGPT).

We do not transmit your personal information (name, email, phone number, account details) to these AI providers. Only the content necessary for the specific feature in use (e.g., market data, ticker symbols) is processed. Data submitted to these providers may be processed under their respective privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:

• Anthropic: anthropic.com/privacy
• OpenAI: openai.com/privacy

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have some or all of the following rights regarding your personal information.

California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (as amended by the CPRA) provides you with the following additional rights:

• Right to know the categories and specific pieces of personal information collected, the sources, the business purpose, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
• Right to delete personal information we collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
• Right to correct inaccurate personal information.
• Right to opt out of sale or sharing: We do not sell or share your personal information. No opt-out is necessary.
• Right to limit use of sensitive personal information: We do not collect or process sensitive personal information as defined under CPRA.
• Right to non-discrimination for exercising your rights.

This Privacy Policy serves as our notice at collection under CCPA §1798.100(b). The categories of personal information we collect, the purposes for collection, and the retention periods are described in Sections 3, 4, and 16 of this Policy.

Exercising Your Rights

To exercise any of the rights described in Sections 10–11, contact us at support@alphasentinel.ai.

Before processing your request, we will verify your identity using information associated with your account. We will respond within 45 days of receiving a verifiable request. If we need additional time (up to 45 more days), we will notify you and explain the reason.

Authorized Agents: You may designate an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf. Provide the agent with signed written permission and have them contact us at support@alphasentinel.ai. We may require proof of authorization and may contact you directly to verify.

Additional U.S. State Privacy Rights

Residents of Virginia (VCDPA), Colorado (CPA), Connecticut (CTDPA), Utah (UCPA), Texas (TDPSA), Oregon (OCPA), Montana (MCDPA), and other states with comprehensive privacy laws may have rights similar to those described in Sections 10–11, including rights to access, correct, delete, opt out of certain processing, and appeal. To exercise these rights, contact us at support@alphasentinel.ai.

Legal Bases for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases per GDPR Article 6:

• Performance of a contract: Processing necessary to provide the Services you requested (account creation, alert delivery, subscription management).
• Legitimate interests: Fraud prevention, security monitoring, analytics, and product improvement — where those interests are not overridden by your fundamental rights.
• Legal obligation: Processing necessary to comply with applicable laws (tax recordkeeping, lawful government requests).
• Consent: Where we rely on your consent (e.g., non-essential cookies, marketing emails), you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection supervisory authority.

International Data Transfers

Our Services are operated from the United States. If you access our Services from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the United States, where data protection laws may differ from those of your jurisdiction.

Where required by applicable law (e.g., GDPR Chapter V), we will implement appropriate transfer mechanisms — such as Standard Contractual Clauses or reliance on an adequacy decision — to ensure your personal data receives an adequate level of protection.

Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services. We also retain information as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements.

If you close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information within 30 days, except where retention is required by law. Alert history and watchlist data are deleted upon account closure. Subscription payment records may be retained for up to 7 years as required by applicable tax law.

Data Breach Notification

In the event of a data breach involving your personal information, we will notify affected individuals and applicable regulatory authorities in accordance with all applicable data breach notification laws. We will provide such notification without unreasonable delay and in the manner required by law.

Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will promptly delete it. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at support@alphasentinel.ai.

Third-Party Links

Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you visit.

Vulnerability Reporting

If you discover a security vulnerability, we want to know about it. We take every report seriously and will respond within 48 hours. We ask that you give us reasonable time to address the issue before any public disclosure.

Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes arising under this Policy are subject to the dispute resolution provisions in our Terms of Service.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top and, where required by law, notify you by email or prominent notice on our Site. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.
