Security Standards

Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 11, 2026
This Privacy Policy describes Our policies and procedures on the collection, use, and protection of Your information when you use Stock News.

1 Security & Privacy by Design

Stock News is engineered with a strict "privacy-first" commitment. We monitor public market data and do not track individual user activity.

Our analysis and news feeds are designed to provide market intelligence without compromising your personal privacy.

2 On-Device Sandboxing (How We Protect Your Logs)

Your call logs, haptic configurations, and dial mappings are completely separated from Android's default global database.

Stock News creates a private sandbox directory that is highly shielded from third-party application scanning tools (such as public social databases or contact backup systems) using local database security keys.

3 AI Analysis Accuracy & Limitations

Stock News utilizes advanced AI algorithms to analyze and summarize market developments. While we strive for extreme precision, AI-generated content can occasionally contain technical inaccuracies or context-related errors.

DATA ACCURACY NOTICE
AI-generated stock news analysis may contain errors. We recommend that users cross-verify critical financial data with official exchange filings or professional market terminals before making investment decisions.

4 Informational Scope & SEBI Compliance

Our platform is designed strictly for informational and educational purposes. We do not track individual user portfolios or offer personalized investment management.

Regulatory Notice: We are not registered with SEBI as an Investment Adviser or Research Analyst. Our service does not offer SEBI-regulated financial advice. Users agree that the platform is solely intended for informational purposes and does not offer financial services subject to SEBI regulation.

5 Biometric Lock Integration

Stock News integrates directly with the Android System BiometricPrompt API.

Fingerprint scanning or Face Unlock details are processed locally by your phone's secure hardware (Secure Enclave/TrustZone). Stock News never reads, saves, or exports raw biometric data; it merely receives success or failure flags from Android's hardware security system.

6 Required Device Permissions

To operate as your daily secure telephone companion, Stock News requires specific core Android system approvals:

  • Default Phone Handler: Required to process incoming calls, activate the secure dialer UI, and manage call routines.
  • Read/Write Contacts: Used optionally to let you select contacts from your standard system address book to import into your private vault.
  • Microphone Access: Used strictly to record call audio locally when Automatic Call Recording is enabled.
  • Biometric Lock: Essential for verifying your identity before revealing hidden logs, call recordings, and vault settings.

7 Anonymized Diagnostic Reports

Stock News may collect minor, completely anonymized system telemetry logs (such as app crash rates or memory warnings) to help maintain software stability.

These reports contain absolutely zero caller IDs, names, notes, phone numbers, or recording streams, and are entirely aggregated for debugging purposes.

8 Your Ownership & Deletion Rights

You have absolute control over your private database.

PERMANENT DATA PURGING
You can instantly erase all private call logs, hidden contacts, local recordings, and stored configurations by clearing the app data in Android's Storage settings or selecting the full purge option in Stock News settings. This process is irreversible because we do not have server-side backends or backups.
