Introduction

SnapTicker Inc. ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our mobile application and website (collectively, the "Service"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Service.

Information We Collect

Personal Information

We may collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you:

  • Register for an account

  • IP address and approximate geographic location
  • App usage data (features used, time spent, interactions)

Camera and Image Data

When you use SnapTicker's product scanning feature, we process images captured by your device's camera. These images are analyzed using AI technology to identify products and their associated stock tickers. We do not store the original images unless you explicitly save them to your device. Image processing occurs in real-time, and only the identified product information (company name, ticker symbol) is retained in your scan history.

Financial Data

We do not collect or store your financial account information, brokerage credentials, or payment details for stock transactions. SnapTicker is an information and discovery tool only. Any investment transactions you make through integrated third-party brokerages are governed by their respective privacy policies.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and improve our Service
  • Process your product scans and deliver stock information
  • Personalize your experience and provide recommendations
  • Send you updates, newsletters, and promotional materials (with your consent)
  • Respond to your inquiries and provide customer support
  • Analyze usage patterns and optimize app performance
  • Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraudulent activity
  • Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

Third-Party Services

SnapTicker integrates with the following third-party services to provide our functionality:

OpenAI

We use OpenAI's language models to analyze product information and provide investment insights. Product names and context may be sent to OpenAI's servers for processing. OpenAI's privacy policy governs their data handling practices.

Google Gemini Vision

We use Google's Gemini Vision API for product recognition from camera images. Images are processed by Google's servers to identify brands and products. Google's privacy policy applies to this data processing.

AlphaVantage

We use AlphaVantage to retrieve real-time stock market data, financial metrics, and company information. Stock ticker symbols you search for may be logged by AlphaVantage for their service operations.

We also use analytics and error tracking services (Google Analytics, Sentry) to monitor app performance and improve user experience. These services may collect anonymized usage data.

How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We may share your information in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With third-party vendors who perform services on our behalf (hosting, analytics, customer support)

  • Encryption of data in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest (AES-256)
  • Secure authentication and access controls
  • Regular security audits and vulnerability assessments
  • Employee training on data protection best practices

However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
