We do not use registration or contact information to make automated financial, lending, employment, insurance or other decisions about individual users.
5. Consent and Your Choices
When you voluntarily submit information through StockScreen.art, you consent to its collection, use and disclosure for the purposes described when the information is requested and in this Privacy Policy.
You may withdraw consent where permitted by applicable law, subject to reasonable notice and any legal, security or operational requirements. Withdrawing consent may prevent us from providing features that require the affected information, including authenticated AlphaEngine™ access.
Certain technical and security information may be processed where reasonably necessary to operate the platform, protect users, prevent abuse, maintain records or comply with legal obligations.
6. Email Communications
StockScreen.art may send transactional or service-related emails that you request or that are reasonably necessary to provide platform access. These may include registration confirmation, email-verification messages, secure login links, account notices, security communications and important changes affecting the service.
Promotional or marketing communications, where offered, will be sent in accordance with applicable consent requirements. Eligible promotional messages will include a method to unsubscribe. Unsubscribing from promotional communications may not prevent necessary transactional, authentication, security or privacy-related messages.
7. Cookies and Similar Technologies
StockScreen.art uses essential session and browser technologies to support secure access, form protection, authentication, abuse prevention and core platform functionality.
We may also use local storage or similar browser technologies to support interface preferences or improve platform usability. If optional analytics, advertising or other non-essential tracking technologies are introduced, StockScreen.art may provide additional notice or consent controls where required.
Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies and stored website data. Disabling essential technologies may prevent registration, authentication, contact forms or other protected platform features from working properly.
8. How We Share Information
StockScreen.art does not sell or rent personal information.
We may disclose limited information in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers – To providers supporting hosting, email delivery, infrastructure, security, diagnostics or other authorized platform operations.
- Legal Requirements – When disclosure is required or permitted by applicable law, legal process, court order or a lawful government request.
- Security and Protection – When reasonably necessary to investigate fraud, abuse, security incidents, unauthorized access or threats to StockScreen.art, its users or others.
- Business Transactions – In connection with a proposed or completed merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets or similar business transaction, subject to applicable legal requirements.

Service providers are authorized to process information only as needed to provide their services or fulfil applicable legal obligations, subject to relevant contractual, confidentiality and security requirements.
9. Third-Party and Market Data Services
StockScreen.art may rely on third-party providers for website hosting, email transmission, market data, infrastructure, security monitoring, diagnostics and related platform services.
Market-data requests may include a requested ticker symbol and technical request information needed to retrieve or process market information. StockScreen.art does not intentionally provide a user's registration name or email address to a market-data provider solely to retrieve stock data.
Third-party providers maintain their own systems, terms and privacy practices. StockScreen.art evaluates and limits provider access where reasonably practical but does not control every aspect of a third party's independent operations.
10. International and Cross-Border Processing
StockScreen.art and its service providers may process or store information in Canada, the United States or other jurisdictions where platform infrastructure or service providers operate.
Information processed outside your province, territory or country may be subject to the laws and lawful-access requirements of the jurisdiction where it is processed. We use reasonable contractual, technical and organizational measures to protect information under our control.
11. Data Retention
We retain information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including providing services, maintaining security, responding to inquiries, resolving disputes and meeting legal or operational requirements.
- Registration and access records may be retained while platform access remains active and for a reasonable period afterward.
- Temporary authentication information is designed to expire or become unusable after its intended period or use.
- Contact messages may be retained until the inquiry is resolved and for a reasonable business-record period afterward.
- Security and diagnostic records may be retained for periods appropriate to abuse detection, investigation, system protection and legal compliance.
- Consent, unsubscribe or suppression records may be retained where needed to document and respect communication preferences.
- Residual information may remain temporarily in restricted backups until removed through normal backup rotation.
When information is no longer reasonably required, we may delete, anonymize or securely dispose of it, subject to technical and legal limitations.
12. Security Safeguards
StockScreen.art uses reasonable technical, administrative and operational safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration or disclosure.
Safeguards may include HTTPS encryption in transit, access controls, secure session and authentication practices, request validation, abuse monitoring, restricted service access, security logging and measures designed to detect or block unauthorized activity.
No internet transmission, website or electronic storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure. You should use caution when submitting information online and should never send passwords, brokerage credentials or sensitive account information through StockScreen.art forms.
13. Privacy and Security Incidents
If StockScreen.art becomes aware of a privacy or security incident involving personal information, we will take reasonable steps to investigate, contain and document the incident.
We will provide notifications or reports to affected individuals, regulators or other parties where required by applicable law.

We may need to verify your identity before completing a request. Access, correction or deletion requests may be limited where necessary to protect another person's privacy, preserve security records, prevent fraud, comply with legal obligations or maintain information that we are permitted or required to retain.
15. Children's Privacy
StockScreen.art is an investment research platform intended for users who can lawfully use its services. The platform is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

16. External Links
StockScreen.art may contain links to third-party websites, market-information sources or other external services. Once you leave StockScreen.art, the collection and use of information are governed by the third party's own terms and privacy policy.
We encourage you to review the privacy practices of external services before providing them with personal information.
17. Investment Research and Sensitive Information
StockScreen.art provides general research and educational tools, including technical stock analysis, quantitative stock rankings and market intelligence. It does not provide personalized financial, investment, tax or legal advice.
StockScreen.art does not require your brokerage password, trading credentials, bank-account details or payment-card information to provide its current research tools. Do not submit that information through registration, contact or support forms.
18. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as StockScreen.art evolves, legal requirements change or platform practices are revised.
The updated policy will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Where appropriate, we may also provide additional notice of material changes through the website or an email communication.
