Privacy Policy

Effective date: not yet launched — draft for review

This is a draft template prepared ahead of launch. It has not been reviewed by qualified legal counsel and does not yet reflect a real DPO, retention schedule, or sub-processor list — have it reviewed for GDPR/UK GDPR compliance (and any other regime you operate under) before it governs real user data.

1. What this policy covers

This policy explains what information Vector collects when you use our website and Service, why we collect it, and the choices you have.

2. Information we collect

Category	Examples	Why
Account data	Email address, hashed password	Create and secure your account
Connected credentials	Read-only exchange API keys, public wallet addresses	Compute your portfolio's momentum score
Usage data	Pages viewed, alerts configured, device/browser type	Operate and improve the Service
Payment data	Billing details (handled by our payment processor, not stored by us)	Process subscription payments

3. How we use your information

To provide, maintain, and secure the Service.
To compute the momentum scores, alerts, and portfolio vectors you request.
To communicate with you about your account, including service and security notices.
To improve the Service based on aggregated, de-identified usage patterns.

4. What we don't do

We do not sell your personal data. We do not have withdrawal access to any wallet or exchange account you connect, and we do not request it.

5. Sharing

We share data only with service providers who help us run Vector (hosting, email delivery, payment processing), under contracts that limit their use of it, or when required by law.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies to keep you signed in and remember your preferences, and limited analytics cookies to understand how the Service is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

7. Data retention

We retain account data for as long as your account is active, and for a limited period after closure as required for legal, tax, or security purposes.

8. Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal data, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@usevector.org.

9. Security

We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, access controls, and least-privilege API scopes — to protect your data. No system is perfectly secure, and we encourage you to use a strong, unique password and enable any available account protections.

10. Children's privacy

Vector is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

11. Changes to this policy

We'll update this page if our practices change, and post the new effective date at the top.
