Privacy Policy

Effective 2026-05-22 · Last updated 2026-05-22

We respect your privacy. We collect only what's needed to operate the Service. We never sell your data. AI prompts processed through your BYOK keys are never logged.

1. Who We Are

Quantinger is a cryptocurrency research and analysis platform operating as an individual proprietorship pending entity registration. We are the data controller for personal data collected through the Service at quantinger.com.

2. Information We Collect

(a) Account data: email address, hashed password, full name (optional), account created date, last login timestamp, subscription tier, grace period end date.

(b) Usage data: pages visited, features used, backtest run counts, AI message counts, alert triggers, screener queries. Used to operate and improve the Service.

(c) Technical data: IP address, browser type, operating system, device type, referrer URL, session timestamps. Collected for fraud prevention and service operation.

(d) Payment data: collected by Paddle (Merchant of Record). We receive only: transaction amount, currency, last 4 digits of card, and billing country. We never see your full card number or CVV.

(g) Cookies: see Section 11 and our Cookie Policy.

(h) Data we do NOT collect: race, religion, sexual orientation, health data, biometrics, or government IDs (beyond what Paddle may require for fraud prevention under their own policies).
