1. In short
What we keep
Email, name, a hashed password, your plan, watchlist and the alert channels you add.
What we don't do
No selling of data, no advertising networks, no tracking across other sites.
Alerts
Only to the channels you connect yourself; switch them off any time in Settings.
Control
Edit or delete your data in Settings, or email us to delete the account entirely.
2. Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Account | Email address, display name, password (stored only as a bcrypt hash), plan, sign-in times | To create and secure your account and apply your plan |
| Preferences | Watchlist (politicians, tickers, parties), alert on/off switches | To decide which filings and signals to send you |
| Alert channels | Telegram chat ID, WhatsApp number, alert email — only if you add them | To deliver alerts where you asked |
| Usage & technical | IP address and browser type in server logs, error logs, the pages you request | Security, abuse prevention, keeping the service running |
| Device storage | A sign-in token and recently viewed data in your browser / installed app (for offline use) | So the app opens quickly and works without internet |
We do not collect payment card numbers ourselves; if you pay online, the payment provider processes your card under its own policy and tells us only that the payment succeeded.
The lawmaker trade data shown in the app is public government information about public officials, not personal data about you.
3. How we use it
- Provide, personalise and secure the Service (sign-in, plan limits, watchlist, offline cache).
- Send the alerts you asked for, and transactional messages about your account (e.g. password changes, renewal notices).
- Investigate abuse, fraud or outages, and comply with legal obligations.
- Improve the Service using aggregated, de-identified statistics (e.g. "how many members use Telegram").
We do not use your personal data for profiling that has legal effects on you, and we do not sell or rent it.
6. Retention
- Account data is kept while your account is active. Delete your account and we remove your profile, watchlist and alert channels within 30 days; backups roll off within 90 days.
- Alert delivery logs are kept for up to 12 months for troubleshooting, then deleted.
- Server logs containing IP addresses are kept for up to 90 days.
- We may keep records required for tax, accounting or legal purposes for the statutory period.
7. Security
- Passwords are hashed with bcrypt and never stored in plain text.
- All traffic is encrypted with HTTPS; API keys and tokens are stored masked and only on the server.
- Access to production systems is limited to authorised staff.
- No system is perfectly secure; if we discover a breach affecting you, we will notify you without undue delay as required by law.
8. Your rights & choices
- Access / correct: see and edit your profile, email, password, channels and watchlist in Settings.
- Opt out of alerts: switch off trade or signal alerts, disconnect Telegram, or remove your number / email in Settings.
- Export: Pro members can export trades to CSV; email us for a copy of your account data.
- Delete: email info@hillradar.com from your account address and we will delete the account.
- Depending on where you live (e.g. EU/UK GDPR, California CCPA), you may have additional rights such as portability, restriction, objection and the right to complain to a supervisory authority. We honour these requests and do not discriminate for exercising them.
9. International transfers
Our servers may be located outside your country. Where required we rely on standard contractual safeguards for transfers. By using the Service you understand that your data may be processed in those locations.
10. Children
Hillradar AI is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from children. If you believe a child has created an account, contact us and we will delete it.
11. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows the current version; significant changes will be announced in the app or by email.
