Privacy Policy
Effective Date: August 9, 2026
StockBeacon.net ("StockBeacon," "we," "us," or "our") respects the privacy
of our users. This Privacy Policy explains the types of information we may
collect when you use StockBeacon.net, how that information is used, and the
circumstances in which information may be shared with third parties.
Information We Collect
Account Information
When you create a StockBeacon account, we may collect information such as
your first and last name, display name, username, email address, account
creation date, login information, and subscription status.
Passwords are not stored by StockBeacon in readable form. Password
credentials are protected using the authentication and security mechanisms
used by the StockBeacon platform.
Payment and Subscription Information
StockBeacon uses Stripe, a third-party payment processor, to process
subscription payments and manage certain subscription and billing functions.
When you provide payment information, such as a credit or debit card number,
that information is provided to and processed by Stripe.
StockBeacon does not store your complete credit or debit card number. We may
receive and maintain limited information related to your StockBeacon
subscription, such as your subscription status, trial expiration date,
current subscription period, cancellation status, transaction information,
and identifiers provided by Stripe that allow us to manage your subscription.
Payment information entered when beginning a free trial or paid subscription
is processed by Stripe and is subject to Stripe's privacy practices.
Information Collected Automatically
When you access StockBeacon, our servers and service providers may
automatically receive certain technical information, such as your IP address,
browser type, device information, pages accessed, login activity, and the
date and time of requests.
This information may be used to operate StockBeacon, maintain security,
diagnose technical problems, prevent unauthorized access, and improve the
performance and reliability of the service.
Cookies and Authentication
StockBeacon uses cookies and similar technologies that are necessary to
authenticate users, maintain login sessions, remember certain preferences,
and operate the website.
Additional cookies or similar technologies may be used if StockBeacon adds
analytics or other optional services in the future. This Privacy Policy may
be updated as those services are added.
How We Use Your Information
Information collected by StockBeacon may be used to:
- Create and maintain your StockBeacon account;
- Authenticate users and maintain secure login sessions;
- Provide access to StockBeacon features and services;
- Administer free trials and paid subscriptions;
- Process and manage subscription status through our payment provider;
- Send account activation, password reset, security, billing, and other service-related communications;
- Respond to questions and customer support requests;
- Monitor and improve website performance and reliability;
- Detect fraud, unauthorized access, or misuse of StockBeacon; and
- Comply with applicable legal obligations.
Third-Party Service Providers
StockBeacon uses third-party service providers to operate and
support portions of the service. These providers may include services for
website hosting, email delivery, account authentication, payment processing,
market data, analytics, and other technical functions.
For example, StockBeacon uses Stripe for payment processing as well as
Google and Microsoft for account authentication. These providers may
receive information reasonably necessary to provide their services.
Information you provide directly to a third-party provider is also subject
to that provider's own privacy policy and terms.
Third-Party Login Services
StockBeacon may allow you to create or access your account using a
third-party authentication provider, such as Google or Microsoft.
If you choose to use one of these services, the authentication provider
may provide StockBeacon with certain information associated with your
account, such as your name, email address, account identifier, or other
information that you authorize the provider to share.
StockBeacon uses this information to authenticate your identity, create
or connect your StockBeacon account, and provide access to the service.
StockBeacon does not receive your Google or Microsoft password.
Your use of Google or Microsoft authentication is also subject to the
privacy practices and terms of the applicable authentication provider.
These service providers may receive information that is reasonably necessary
for them to perform services on our behalf. Information provided directly to
a third-party provider may also be governed by that provider's own privacy
policy.
Sharing of Personal Information
StockBeacon does not sell your personal information.
We may disclose personal information to service providers that perform
services on our behalf; when required by applicable law, court order, or
other valid legal process; when reasonably necessary to investigate fraud,
security incidents, or misuse of StockBeacon; or when necessary to protect
the rights, property, or security of StockBeacon, our users, or others.
Information may also be transferred as part of a merger, acquisition,
financing, reorganization, sale of assets, or similar business transaction
involving StockBeacon.
Data Security
StockBeacon uses reasonable administrative and technical measures designed
to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse,
alteration, or disclosure.
No method of transmitting or storing information over the Internet can be
guaranteed to be completely secure. Users are responsible for protecting
their passwords and should notify StockBeacon if they believe their account
has been accessed without authorization.
Data Retention and Account Deletion
StockBeacon may retain personal information for as long as reasonably
necessary to provide the service, maintain required business and transaction
records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and
enforce our agreements.
Users may contact StockBeacon to request deletion of their account and
associated personal information. Certain information may be retained when
required or permitted by law or when reasonably necessary for legitimate
business, security, accounting, or legal purposes.
Email Communications
StockBeacon may send service-related email messages necessary to operate your
account, including account activation messages, password reset instructions,
security notifications, subscription and billing notices, and important
changes affecting the service.
If StockBeacon offers optional promotional or marketing communications,
users will be provided with an appropriate method to unsubscribe from those
communications. Unsubscribing from promotional messages does not prevent
StockBeacon from sending necessary account or service-related communications.
Children's Privacy
StockBeacon is not directed to children under the age of 13, and we do not
knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13.
If we learn that such information has been collected, we will take reasonable
steps to delete it.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
StockBeacon may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the service,
technology, or legal requirements change. When the policy is updated, the
Effective Date shown at the top of this page will be revised.
