Last updated: January 4, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains how Stalker (“we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, and protects information when you interact with our website and when you purchase, download, install, or use the Stalker desktop trading application (“Software” or “Stalker”).

We distinguish clearly between website activity and application usage. The Software itself is designed to operate locally on your machine, with minimal and purpose-limited communication to our servers.

1. Website Analytics and Browsing Activity

When you visit our website, we use standard website analytics tools (such as Google Analytics or similar providers) to understand general website usage.

These analytics may collect information such as:

• Pages visited
• Browser type
• Approximate geographic region
• Referring pages
• Time spent on pages

This data is used solely to improve the website and understand aggregate traffic patterns. Website analytics data is subject to the privacy policies of the analytics providers and does not include trading data or application usage.

2. Information We Collect During Purchase

When you purchase the Software, we collect your email address and, if provided, your name through our payment processor. This information is used for:

• License delivery
• Download access
• Account-related communication
• Customer support

We do not collect additional personal information beyond what is required for purchase and licensing.

3. API Keys, Trading Data, and Application Credentials

The Software does not collect, transmit, or provide us access to:

• Exchange API keys
• Exchange account credentials
• Wallet addresses
• Trades, balances, positions, or order history
• Trading strategies or signals

All trading activity and related data are stored and processed locally on your device only.

We do not have access to your exchange accounts or funds and do not custody assets of any kind.

4. Local Encryption and Data Security

All sensitive data used by the Software, including:

• Exchange API keys
• Optional SMTP credentials for email alerts
• Application configuration data

is stored locally on your device and encrypted using industry-standard encryption.

Encryption is tied to your application password. We do not know this password and cannot decrypt your data, even if requested or compelled. Application passwords and encryption keys are non-recoverable.

If access is lost, the only recovery option is to reset the application and reconfigure it from a fresh setup.

5. How We Use Your Information

Your email address and name are used only to:

• Deliver license keys and downloads
• Provide customer support
• Send critical account or security-related notices
• Notify you of important software updates

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing or advertising purposes.

6. Email Communications

We may send important account-related emails, including:

• License or access issues
• Security notices
• Critical application or policy updates

These communications are essential to account operation and cannot be unsubscribed from.

We do not send promotional or marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in to a separate newsletter or marketing list. Opting out of marketing communications does not affect essential account emails.

7. Payment Processing

All payments are handled by third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, Paddle, Gumroad, or similar).

We do not store or process payment details such as credit card numbers or billing information. Payment processors’ privacy policies apply to checkout data.

8. Application Communication With Our Servers

The Software performs minimal and limited communication with our servers for the following purposes only:

• License validation
• Checking for and delivering software updates
• Submitting leaderboard data (only if you opt in)

No API keys, passwords, trading data, or sensitive credentials are transmitted during these communications.

9. Leaderboards and Optional Data Sharing

Leaderboard participation is optional and opt-in only.

If you opt in, the Software may submit anonymous performance metrics, which may include:

• Profit and loss (P/L)
• Win rates
• High-level trading parameters

No personally identifiable information, exchange identifiers, credentials, or sensitive data is shared.

If you opt out:

• Your leaderboard data is automatically deleted
• Your ranking and historical leaderboard entries are removed

10. License Validation and Machine Fingerprinting

To prevent license abuse, we may generate a non-reversible hashed fingerprint of your machine during license validation.

This fingerprint:

• Is used only to track license usage across machines
• Does not contain personal, financial, or sensitive information
• Cannot be used to identify you outside of license enforcement

11. Children’s Privacy

The Software is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children.

12. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with an updated effective date. Continued use of the Software constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
