4. Third-Party Services

ConvictionStocks uses third-party services for infrastructure, payment processing, data providers, and AI features. These services may process your data as described below:

• Authentication and database: We use a third-party service for secure authentication and data storage.
• Payment processing: Credit card and billing data is handled by our payment processor under their own privacy policy. We never store your card details.
• Hosting: Our website runs on a third-party hosting platform.
• Market data: We use third-party providers for stock market data. Your individual search queries are not shared in a way that identifies you.
• AI features: We use AI services to generate research summaries. Only stock data is sent for processing. No personally identifiable information is included in these requests.

Each of these services has its own privacy policy. We encourage you to review them.

5. Cookies and Analytics

We use essential cookies to keep you logged in and maintain your session. We may also use analytics tools to understand how people use the platform. These tools collect anonymized usage data and do not track you across other websites.
