We collect the minimum information necessary to provide the App's functionality. The categories of data we collect are described below.
| Data Type | What We Collect | Purpose |

We do not collect your actual Bitcoin holdings, private wallet keys, exchange account credentials, bank account information, Social Security number, or any government-issued identification.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information collected solely to operate and improve the App. Specifically, we use your data to:
- Authenticate your identity and maintain secure access to the App
- Generate personalized daily DCA buy recommendations based on your inputs
- Calculate your investment governor bias, rollover amounts, and limit prices
- Deliver AI-generated market analysis reports to your account
- Diagnose technical issues and improve App performance
- Respond to support inquiries submitted through our website contact form
- Send service-related communications (e.g., significant policy changes)
Data Storage & Security
Your account credentials are managed by Google Firebase Authentication, which handles password hashing and secure storage. We do not store raw passwords.
Market state data, AI-generated charts, and daily analysis reports are stored in Google Cloud Storage (GCS) in a private, access-controlled bucket. Access to this data is gated through a secure backend service that validates your Firebase authentication token on every request.
User preference data (capital, target date, DCA frequency) is stored locally on your device using Android's SharedPreferences and is not transmitted to our servers.
We implement the following security measures:
- All data in transit is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS
- Backend API access requires a valid, short-lived Firebase ID token
- Google Cloud Storage bucket is private with no public access
- Our backend runs on Google Cloud Run with automatic security patching
- No financial account credentials are ever requested or stored
While we take security seriously, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. We encourage you to use a strong, unique password for your account.

The App integrates with the following third-party services to function. Each has its own privacy policy governing their data handling:

| Yahoo Finance (yfinance) | Yahoo Inc. | Historical and current Bitcoin price data |
| Binance.US API | BAM Trading Services Inc. | Live Bitcoin spot price display |
| Formspree | Formspree Inc. | Website contact form delivery |
We share only the minimum data necessary with each third-party service to perform its function. We do not share your personal account information (email, password) with market data providers.
