# Privacy Policy for NexTrade: Stocks & Charts
**Last updated:** September 03, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how NexTrade: Stocks & Charts ("we", "our", or "the App") collects, uses, and discloses information when you use our Android application. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it through our compliance with this policy.
---
### 1. Information We Collect
NexTrade: Stocks & Charts operates primarily on a client-side architecture and does not require user registration or account creation.
* **Locally Stored Information:** The App saves your custom preferences, watchlist items, chart indicator configurations, price alarm thresholds, and calculator inputs locally on your device. We do not transfer or store this personal data on private external servers.
* **Device and Usage Information:** When you access financial feeds or receive notifications, third-party analytics and infrastructure providers may automatically collect basic diagnostic data (such as IP address, device model, operating system version, and general app performance metrics) solely to maintain service reliability.
---
### 2. Notifications & Background Tasks
To deliver accurate price alerts and market triggers, the App utilizes local background workers (such as Android WorkManager or foreground services) and notification permissions (`POST_NOTIFICATIONS`). Price alerts are checked against live data feeds locally on your device or via standard push protocols. You can disable alert notifications at any time via your device settings.
---
### 3. Third-Party Services and APIs
The App connects to third-party services to stream real-time financial market data, display charts, and provide supporting functionality. These third-party services have their own independent privacy policies:
* **Market Data Providers:** Low-latency WebSocket connections and REST endpoints used for real-time tickers, order books, and historical candlestick data.
* **Google Play Services:** Used for app distribution, updates, and crash analytics.
* **Advertising Providers (if applicable):** May use non-personal advertising identifiers to deliver relevant ads and measure ad performance in compliance with Google Play Policies.
---
### 4. Data Retention and Security
* **Retention:** Because all personal settings, alarms, and watchlists reside in your device’s local storage, you retain full control over your data. Clearing app storage or uninstalling the App permanently deletes all saved data.
* **Security:** We use industry-standard HTTPS and secure WebSocket (WSS) protocols to encrypt data transmitted between the App and public financial data endpoints.

### 5. Financial Disclaimer
NexTrade: Stocks & Charts is an informational, technical analysis, and analytical calculation tool. The App does not provide investment, financial, tax, or trading advice. All market data, screener outputs, and calculator results are intended solely for educational and tracking purposes. We are not liable for any financial losses or trading decisions made based on the data displayed in the App.

### 6. Children's Privacy
NexTrade: Stocks & Charts is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or under 16 in certain jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect personally identifiable information from children.

### 7. Changes to This Privacy Policy
