1. What we collect
Forms. When you create an account we collect your email address and name (or, if you sign in with Google, the basic profile Google shares with us — name, email, and profile picture). When you submit our waitlist or contact form, we collect your email address, an optional stock ticker, and an optional message. We also store the in-product activity you generate, such as advisors you follow, stocks you watch, and screens you save, to provide those features.
Server logs. Our servers automatically record IP address, user agent, requested URL, and timestamps. These logs are retained for up to 365 days and used for abuse prevention, security investigation, debugging, and traffic analysis — for example, understanding how much of our traffic is search-engine crawlers, and which pages are most requested. After that period they are deleted automatically. We keep aggregate summaries derived from them — daily and monthly counts by page, country, and client type, containing no IP address or user agent — for longer, so we can compare traffic year on year; those summaries cannot be linked back to you. We also record first-party product-usage events — for example page views, an anonymous per-tab session id, and your user id when signed in — to understand how the product is used and improve it.
Cookies. We use cookies in four categories — strictly necessary, analytics, functional, and marketing — which you can review and control at any time via the Cookie preferences link in the footer. We operate an opt-out model during beta, so analytics, functional and marketing cookies — including Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics loaded through Google Consent Mode — are on by default and begin loading when you first visit, and may be used to measure usage and build an interest profile. You can reject or customise non-essential cookies at any time via the Cookie preferences link in the footer. Strictly necessary cookies are always on.
2. How we use your data
We process your personal data to provide and secure the service, to communicate with you, and to improve the product. Specifically, email addresses are used to: send the alerts you've signed up for, send the weekly Top 10 Analyst report (if you subscribe to it), and notify you about material product updates relevant to beta. Analytics and marketing processing is carried out on the basis of your consent. We do not sell, rent, or share your email with third parties for marketing.
3. Where data lives
Application data is stored in a managed cloud database, and the application runs on managed cloud hosting infrastructure. Specific hosting providers and region details will be confirmed before general availability.
4. Your rights
Under India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP) you have the right to: access a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how we process it; correct or complete inaccurate or incomplete data; erase data that is no longer needed; nominate another individual to exercise your rights in the event of death or incapacity; and seek grievance redressal if a request is not handled satisfactorily. You can also withdraw consent at any time — for cookies and analytics use the Cookie preferences link in the site footer; for email use the unsubscribe link in any message.
To exercise any right, email admin@stocktipsarena.com. We action verified requests within seven working days. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already carried out.
5. Children
The service is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has submitted data to us, please email us and we will delete it.
6. Security
We follow reasonable industry safeguards: HTTPS for all traffic, row-level access controls on user-submitted data, and tight management of application secrets. No system is perfectly secure. In the unlikely event of a breach affecting your data, we will notify affected users within 72 hours of becoming aware of the incident.
7. Cross-border transfers
We use managed cloud infrastructure that may store or process data on servers located outside India. Where that happens we rely on the provider's contractual and technical safeguards and transfer data only in accordance with applicable law. Specific providers and regions will be confirmed before general availability.
8. Who we are and Grievance Officer
The data fiduciary responsible for your personal data is Indivision Technologies Private Limited, which operates the StockTipsArena platform, based in Bengaluru, India. For any privacy question, consent withdrawal, or data-principal request — and if you are not satisfied with our response — you can contact our Grievance Officer, Gaurav Ganeriwal, at admin@stocktipsarena.com. We acknowledge grievances within 48 hours and aim to resolve them within the timelines required by the DPDP Act. You may also escalate to the Data Protection Board of India once it is operational.
9. Changes to this policy
We update the "last updated" date at the top of this page when the policy changes. Material changes will be communicated to users with a registered email.
