1. Information We Collect
DilutionWatch ("we", "our", "us") collects the following information when you use our service at dilutionwatch.com:
Account Information: When you create an account, we collect your email address. This is the only personal information required to use our service.
Payment Information: If you subscribe to a paid plan, payment is processed securely through Stripe. We do not store your credit card number, CVV, or full card details on our servers. Stripe handles all payment data in accordance with PCI-DSS standards. We receive and store only your Stripe customer ID and subscription status.
Usage Data: We collect information about how you use our service, including ticker symbols you monitor, alert preferences, and feature usage. This data is used solely to provide and improve our service.
Log Data: Our servers automatically record information including your IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps. This data is used for security, debugging, and service improvement.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
• Provide, maintain, and improve our SEC filing monitoring and alert services
• Send you transactional emails including filing alerts, daily digests, magic link authentication, and account notifications
• Process payments and manage your subscription
• Respond to your support inquiries via our contact form
• Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
• Comply with legal obligations
3. Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share information only with:
Stripe: Our payment processor, to handle subscription billing. Stripe's privacy policy governs their use of your data.
Postmark: Our email delivery provider, to send transactional emails. Postmark processes your email address solely to deliver messages on our behalf.
Law Enforcement: We may disclose information if required by law, subpoena, or court order, or if we believe disclosure is necessary to protect our rights or the safety of others.
4. Data Storage and Security
Your data is stored on secure servers hosted by DigitalOcean with data storage on Amazon Web Services (AWS S3). We implement industry-standard security measures including encrypted connections (TLS/SSL), secure authentication via magic link tokens, and access controls to protect your information.
5. Data Retention
We retain your account data for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account or unsubscribe from all tickers, we will retain your data for up to 90 days before permanent deletion, unless required by law to retain it longer. Payment records may be retained for up to 7 years for tax and accounting purposes.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to:
• Access the personal data we hold about you

7. Cookies
We use session-based authentication tokens stored in your browser's session storage. We do not use third-party tracking cookies or advertising cookies. We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect against automated abuse, which may set its own cookies as described in Google's privacy policy.
8. Email Communications
All emails from DilutionWatch are transactional in nature — filing alerts, account notifications, and authentication links. We do not send marketing emails. Every alert email includes an unsubscribe link. You can manage your alert preferences at any time through your account dashboard.
9. Children's Privacy
DilutionWatch is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we become aware that we have collected data from a child, we will delete it promptly.
