# Privacy Policy for StockWise

**Last Updated:** [Insert Date]

StockWise ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how your information is collected, used, and safeguarded when you use the StockWise Android application (the "App").

## 1. Information Collection and Use

**StockWise is designed with privacy in mind as an offline-first application.**

*   **Local Storage:** All data you enter into the App, including but not limited to stock tickers, portfolio holdings, purchase prices, and watchlists, is stored locally on your device using a local database (Room).

*   **No Cloud Syncing:** We do not transmit, sync, or store your personal financial data or portfolio information on our servers or any third-party cloud services.

*   **Personal Data:** We do not require you to create an account, nor do we collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as your name, email address, or phone number.

## 2. Third-Party Services

Currently, StockWise operates entirely offline.

*(Note: If you plan to add live stock fetching via an API like Alpha Vantage, Yahoo Finance, etc., you must update this section to state: "The App may communicate with third-party financial APIs solely for the purpose of retrieving live stock market data. Only the stock tickers you search for are sent to these services. We do not control the privacy practices of these third parties.")*

## 3. Analytics and Crash Reporting

We currently do not use third-party analytics or crash reporting tools (such as Google Analytics or Firebase Crashlytics). If this changes in future updates to improve app stability, this policy will be updated to reflect what anonymous usage data is collected.

## 4. Security

The security of your data is important to us. Because your portfolio data is stored exclusively on your device, its security relies on your device's built-in security features (e.g., PIN, fingerprint, or face unlock). We recommend keeping your device secured to protect your financial information.

## 5. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date at the top. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
