Privacy Policy

1. What Ragard does

Ragard is a real-time stock analysis tool that analyzes public web content (e.g., posts and financial articles) when you request it, and produces derived insights such as detected tickers, summaries, and scoring.

2. Data we collect

A. Information you provide

Account information (website/app):

Email address (required for accounts)
Name (optional)
Authentication data (handled by Supabase Auth, including OAuth or email/password; passwords are hashed by Supabase)

Saved items (if logged in):

Watchlists and related account data you save in Ragard

B. Information the extension collects (only when you click "Analyze Page")

The extension accesses and sends limited information to the Ragard API only when you explicitly request analysis:

URL of the page being analyzed
Page title
Content snippet from the page (typically up to ~4,000–12,000 characters, depending on the page and feature)

The extension does not collect:

Your keystrokes or form inputs
Your browsing history in the background
Your search queries
"Click tracking" or behavioral analytics

C. Derived analysis data

Ragard generates analysis outputs such as:

Detected tickers (derived)
Scores/ratings, summaries, and related metadata (derived)

D. Settings and local storage

The extension may store certain preferences locally in your browser/extension storage, such as:

API URL configuration (production/development)
User preferences (where applicable)

E. Server and technical data

When you use the website or API, standard web requests may include:

IP address
Device/browser and request metadata (e.g., timestamps, headers)

We may keep this information in standard server logs for security and reliability. We do not store IP addresses in our database as part of your profile.

3. What we store (and what we don't)

We do not store full page text from analyzed pages in our database.
We store analysis results (e.g., tickers detected, scores, summaries) needed to provide features and (if applicable) show results to logged-in users.
We store watchlists and account-related data if you choose to use those features.

4. How we use information

We use information to:

Provide and operate Ragard features (analysis, scoring, watchlists)
Authenticate users and manage accounts
Improve performance and reliability (debugging, error monitoring)
Protect against abuse, fraud, and security risks
Communicate important service updates (e.g., changes to the product or policy)

5. Sharing and third parties

We do not sell your personal information and we do not share your data with advertisers.

We may share data with service providers only as needed to run Ragard:

Supabase (Database + Auth)

We use Supabase to store account data and watchlists and to handle authentication.

Sentry (Optional error monitoring)

If we enable Sentry (only when configured), error data may include technical context needed to diagnose problems. Configure this to avoid collecting unnecessary personal data.

OpenAI (Optional AI features)

If AI features are enabled, limited page snippets and/or derived context may be sent to OpenAI to generate analysis outputs. This only occurs when you request analysis (e.g., clicking "Analyze Page").

Reddit API (Optional)

If enabled, Ragard may fetch Reddit content via the Reddit API to support analysis. This depends on feature configuration.

Market data

We may use tools like yfinance to fetch market data related to detected tickers.

We may also share information if required by law, to enforce our terms, or to protect safety and security.

6. Data retention

Account data: kept until you delete your account.
Watchlists: kept until you delete them or delete your account.
Analysis results: not stored long-term as full page text; derived results may be retained to support product features.
Browser cache: analysis results may be cached locally in your browser for performance (e.g., ~10 minutes TTL).
Logs: standard server logs are typically retained for 30–90 days.
Sentry data: retention depends on Sentry settings.

7. Your choices and controls

Account deletion: You can delete your account via Supabase-supported account controls (which should remove associated user data from Ragard systems, subject to legal/security retention needs).
Extension data: You can remove local extension storage by removing the extension or clearing extension data via Chrome settings.
Opting out of analysis: If you don't click "Analyze Page," the extension does not send page data to Ragard.

8. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information, including access controls and secure transport (HTTPS for production). No system is 100% secure, but we work to minimize risk.

9. Children's privacy

Ragard is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact us at ragard.owner@gmail.com.

10. International users

If you access Ragard from outside the United States, your information may be processed in countries where our providers operate. By using Ragard, you understand your information may be transferred and processed across borders.

11. Payments (future)

Ragard currently does not process payments. If we introduce paid plans in the future, we will update this policy to describe payment processing (typically via a third-party processor such as Stripe) and what data is collected for billing.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated version on this page and update the "Effective date" above.
