Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 26, 2026

SmartStockWatch takes your privacy seriously. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website and related services.

Information We Collect

Account information

When you create an account, we collect:

  • Email address for sign-in, account recovery, and service communication

Payment details are processed by Stripe. We receive billing metadata such as customer ID, subscription status, and invoice history, but we do not store full payment card numbers on our servers.

Public company data

Company reports, charts, and summaries displayed on SmartStockWatch are derived from public sources. That content is not personal information about you.

Third-Party Services

Payment processing

We use Stripe to process subscriptions and billing. Stripe handles payment information according to PCI DSS standards.

Email and hosting

Data portability

We do not currently offer a self-service data export feature. Contact support if you need assistance before closing your account.
