Privacy policy
Last updated: August 9, 2026
Strike Optics ("we", "us") operates strikeoptics.com. This page describes what we collect, why, and what we do with it. The short version: we collect what the product needs to work, we run our own analytics rather than handing your activity to an ad network, and we do not sell your data to anyone.
What we collect
- Account details. Your email address, an optional display name, and your password. The password is stored only as a salted hash (scrypt); we cannot read it and never store it in plain text.
- Things you save in the product. Watchlist entries, portfolio positions, price targets, and any notes you attach to them, keyed to your account.
- Billing records. If you buy a membership, payment is handled by Stripe. Card numbers go directly to Stripe and never touch our servers. We store your plan, and Stripe's customer and subscription identifiers for your account.
- Usage analytics. We run our own first-party analytics service. Page activity is recorded under a random identifier stored in your browser, with no fingerprinting and no cross-site tracking. Account events such as sign-ups and sign-ins are recorded with the account's email so we can operate the service.
- Server logs. Standard request logs (IP address, time, path, status) generated by our hosting provider, used for security and debugging.
Ticker searches are processed by our servers. When we fetch market data for a symbol you look up, the upstream data provider receives the symbol, not your identity.
Cookies and local storage
We set one cookie: a session cookie that keeps you signed in. It is essential to the service, is not readable by scripts, and holds no tracking information. Your browser's local storage is used for functional caches (the app's compiled code, the ticker directory) and for the random analytics identifier described above. We use no advertising cookies and no third-party tracking cookies.
How we use your information
- To provide the service: sign you in, store your watchlist and portfolio, deliver features you use.
- To process payments and manage subscriptions through Stripe.
- To understand usage and keep the service fast and reliable.
- To secure the service and investigate abuse.
- To contact you about your account when necessary.
We do not sell or rent your personal information, and we do not share it with advertisers.
Who else touches your data
- DigitalOcean hosts the service and stores its data.
- Cloudflare sits in front of the service as its network layer, so requests pass through it.
- Stripe processes payments. Their handling of your payment details is governed by Stripe's privacy policy.
- Resend delivers our account and subscription emails, and processes your email address to do so.
These providers process data on our behalf to run the service. No one else receives your personal information unless the law requires it.
Retention and deletion
We keep your account data for as long as your account exists. To access, correct, or delete your data, email us at the address below and we will act on the request. Deleting your account removes your saved watchlist, portfolio, and account details; billing records are retained as long as tax and accounting rules require.
Security
All traffic is encrypted in transit (HTTPS). Passwords are hashed, sessions are revocable server-side, and changing your password signs out every other device.
Children
The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.
Changes
If this policy changes materially, we will update this page and its date. Continued use of the service after a change means the updated policy applies.
