StockWise Privacy Policy

Effective date: August 18, 2026 (previous version: August 3, 2026)
StockWise ("the app," "we," "us") is an educational app that teaches how stock markets work. This policy explains what information the app handles. The short version: StockWise has no accounts, collects no personal information, and stores your preferences only on your own device.Information we do NOT collect- No name, email address, phone number, or account of any kind
- No location data
- No contacts, photos, or files
- No advertising identifiers
- No analytics or tracking SDKs
- We do not sell, rent, or share personal information with anyone — we do not have any to sellInformation stored on your device onlyThe app saves your preferences and learning progress locally on your phone using standard iOS app storage. This includes:- your chosen difficulty level, language, and appearance setting;
- your Academy points, ranks, and streaks, and your free-tier usage counters;
- any ticker symbols you add to the "My Money" list;
- your learning record: the terms and guide sections you have looked up, how your reviews of them went, which quiz answers you got wrong, and the reading skills the app has concluded you can now do;
- your own usage summary: which days you opened the app and how often you used each feature (explanations, glossary, lessons, games, guides, reviews). This is shown to you under Settings → Your Progress. It is never transmitted anywhere.None of this leaves your device — we cannot see it, and deleting the app deletes all of it. StockWise has no accounts and no analytics or tracking SDK, so there is nothing to link this information to.Ticker symbols you add represent only the symbols themselves. The app never asks for, stores, or transmits dollar amounts, account balances, or brokerage information of any kind.Information our servers processWhen the app requests market data or an explanation, our server (hosted on Vercel) receives the content of the request — for example, a ticker symbol, a chosen difficulty level, or a question you typed. These requests are not linked to any account or identity, because none exists.Like virtually all internet services, our hosting provider records standard server logs, which include IP addresses and request timestamps. We use these only for operating and securing the service.Feedback you choose to send. Every teaching screen has a "💬 Feedback" button. If you use it, we receive and store the comment you typed, along with which screen it came from and your chosen difficulty level — nothing else, and nothing that identifies you. Please don't include personal information in a comment; if you do, we will delete it on request ([email protected]).Third-party servicesTo do its job, our server (never your device directly) communicates with:- Market data providers (such as Finnhub, Financial Modeling Prep, the Federal Reserve Economic Data service, and the U.S. Treasury) to fetch prices, calendars, and economic statistics. Your identity is never sent to them.
- AI language-model providers (such as Groq and Google) to generate educational explanations. The text of the request (for example, a ticker symbol and a question) is sent for processing; no identity or device information accompanies it.
- Apple, which distributes the app and processes all StockWise Pro purchases through your Apple ID. We never see your payment details.
- RevenueCat, a subscription-management service that confirms with Apple whether your device has an active StockWise Pro subscription. It receives an anonymous, app-generated identifier and your purchase status; no name, email, or payment details. See RevenueCat's privacy policy at revenuecat.com/privacy.ChildrenStockWise is an educational app suitable for general audiences. It does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone, including children, because it does not collect personal information at all.Changes to this policyIf our practices change, for example, if a future version adds optional accounts, we will update this policy and its effective date before those changes take effect.ContactQuestions about this policy: [email protected]
