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

We distinguish clearly between website activity and application usage. The Software is free, open source, self-hosted, and designed to operate locally on your machine. The Software does not communicate with 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 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

If you contact us through our official support channels, we may receive personal information you choose to provide, such as your email address or name. This information is used to respond to inquiries and provide support.

3. API Keys, Trading Data, and Application Credentials

The Software does not collect or transmit to us:

• 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.

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

Because Stalker is open source, you can inspect its source code to review how it handles data. Independently modified versions or third-party forks may behave differently from the official release.

4. Local Encryption and Data Security

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 the encryption mechanisms implemented by the Software.

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

If access is lost, you may need to reset the application and reconfigure it from a fresh setup.

5. How We Use Your Information

Any personal information you voluntarily provide to us is used only to:

• Respond to support requests
• Address inquiries about the Software
• Maintain and improve our website and project

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

6. Email Communications

If you contact us or request support, we may respond by email.

We do not send promotional or marketing emails unless you explicitly opt in to a separate newsletter or marketing list. You can opt out of marketing communications at any time.

7. Third-Party Services

Our website may use third-party services, such as analytics providers, hosting providers, or support tools. These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services and are subject to their respective privacy policies.

The Software may connect directly to cryptocurrency exchanges or other third-party services that you configure. Your use of those services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

8. Children’s Privacy

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

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted with an updated effective date.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how information is handled.
