2. Information We Do NOT Collect
- We do not track your browsing outside this platform
- We do not sell your data to third parties

3. How We Use Your Data

- Trade execution (Pro only): Your encrypted API keys are decrypted in-memory only at the moment of order submission, then discarded
- Product improvement: Chat queries and feature requests help us identify gaps
- Cache optimization: Ticker usage patterns let us pre-load frequently-searched stocks so everyone gets faster responses
4. Third-Party Services
We interact with the following third-party services to provide market data:

You may request complete deletion of your account and all associated data by:
