Privacy Policy

Last Updated: [Date]

Welcome to Quantapes ("we", "us", "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our alpha-stage automated trading platform (the "Service"). Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the Service.

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect via the Service includes:

  • Personal Data: Personally identifiable information, such as your name, email address, and other contact details you voluntarily give to us when you register with the Service or when you choose to participate in various activities related to the Service.
  • API Keys: Exchange API keys (e.g., for Bybit, Binance) that you provide to connect your exchange accounts to the Service. These keys are necessary for the Service to function and execute trades on your behalf. We store these keys securely using Supabase Vault.
  • Usage Data: Information automatically collected when you access the Service, such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, access times, and the pages you have viewed directly before and after accessing the Service. This may also include information about your interactions with the Service features.
  • Trading Data (Indirect): While we aim to minimize direct collection, the Service inherently processes information related to your trading activity as facilitated through the connected API keys (e.g., order placements, balance checks performed via the exchange API). We may log metadata related to these operations for troubleshooting and service improvement.

2. How We Use Your Information

Having accurate information about you permits us to provide you with a smooth, efficient, and customized experience. Specifically, we may use information collected about you via the Service to:

  • Create and manage your account.
  • Provide the core functionality of the automated trading service.
  • Authenticate your access to the Service and your connected exchange accounts (via API keys).
  • Communicate with you regarding your account or the Service.
  • Monitor and analyze usage and trends to improve your experience with the Service.
  • Troubleshoot problems and resolve disputes.
  • Prevent fraudulent transactions, monitor against theft, and protect against criminal activity.
  • Comply with legal and regulatory requirements.

3. Data Storage and Security

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. We leverage Supabase for backend services, including:

  • Supabase Vault: Your sensitive API keys are stored using Supabase Vault, designed for secure secret management.
  • Encryption: Data is encrypted in transit (TLS/SSL) and at rest where feasible using industry-standard practices provided by our infrastructure partners (Supabase).

ALPHA SERVICE DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that Quantapes is currently in an alpha stage of development. While we strive to implement robust security measures, we cannot guarantee absolute security. By using this alpha Service, you acknowledge and accept that unforeseen vulnerabilities may exist, and the security of your data, including API keys, cannot be fully guaranteed against all potential threats. Use the Service at your own risk.

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

  • With Third-Party Service Providers: We share information with third-party vendors, service providers, contractors, or agents who perform services for us or on our behalf and require access to such information to do that work (e.g., Supabase for database, authentication, and vault services).
  • Implicitly with Exchanges: When you connect an API key, the Service necessarily interacts with the corresponding exchange (e.g., Bybit) using that key to perform actions you authorize (like placing trades or checking balances). This interaction inherently shares data required by the exchange's API.
  • By Law or to Protect Rights: If we believe the release of information about you is necessary to respond to legal process, to investigate or remedy potential violations of our policies, or to protect the rights, property, and safety of others, we may share your information as permitted or required by any applicable law, rule, or regulation.
  • Business Transfers: We may share or transfer your information in connection with, or during negotiations of, any merger, sale of company assets, financing, or acquisition of all or a portion of our business to another company.

5. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights regarding your personal information:

  • The right to access – You have the right to request copies of your personal data.
  • The right to rectification – You have the right to request that we correct any information you believe is inaccurate or complete information you believe is incomplete.
  • The right to erasure – You have the right to request that we erase your personal data, under certain conditions (e.g., closing your account).

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the contact information provided below. Please note that we may need to retain certain information for recordkeeping purposes, to complete transactions, or when required by law. Deleting your account will result in the deletion of your API keys from our active systems and Vault.

6. Cookies

We may use cookies, web beacons, tracking pixels, and other tracking technologies on the Service to help customize the Service and improve your experience. For more information on how we use cookies, please refer to our Cookie Policy:Cookie Policy.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes. Changes to this Privacy Policy are effective when they are posted on this page.
