Investo Shots ("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 related services (collectively, the "Service").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information you provide

• Preferences (selected stocks, indices, and other in-app settings)
• Saved content (articles you save or interact with)

• Provide and maintain our Service
• Personalize your news feed based on your stock preferences
• Provide AI-generated summaries and sentiment labels (where available)
• Send push notifications about relevant market news
• Improve and optimize our Service
• Communicate with you about updates, security alerts, and support
• Detect, prevent, and address technical issues or fraud

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: Vendors that help us operate the Service (e.g., cloud hosting, push notifications via Firebase Cloud Messaging, and crash/error monitoring via Sentry, plus other analytics/diagnostics tools we may use)
• Legal Requirements: When required by law, regulation, or legal process
• Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets
• With Your Consent: For any other purpose with your explicit consent

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information, including encryption of data in transit and at rest, secure authentication mechanisms, and regular security assessments. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

6. Data Retention

We retain your personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you the Service. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time. We may retain certain information as required by law or for legitimate business purposes.

Account deletion requests: When you request account deletion, we will take steps to delete or de-identify personal information associated with your account, subject to limited exceptions (for example, where we must retain certain data for legal compliance, security, fraud prevention, or to resolve disputes). If you saved content for offline access, copies may remain on your device until you remove the app or clear app storage.

• Access: Request a copy of your personal data
• Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data
• Deletion: Request deletion of your data
