This Privacy Policy explains how Uptick ("Uptick," "we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you access or use our website, mobile applications, and related services (collectively, the "Service").
By using the Service, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
We collect information to provide, operate, improve, and secure the Service. The types of information we collect depend on how you interact with the Service.
We may collect information that you choose to provide, including:
Uptick does not require users to provide Social Security numbers, government-issued identification numbers, or similar sensitive personal identifiers in order to use the Service.
If you choose to connect third-party services, such as brokerage accounts or financial institutions, we may collect information made available by those third parties, including: account balances and holdings, transaction history, portfolio and watchlist information, and related account data.
We access this information only as authorized by you and solely to provide and operate the Service. Uptick does not control, verify, or guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of information provided by third-party services.
If you purchase subscriptions or other paid features, payments are processed by third-party payment processors. Uptick does not store full payment card numbers. We may receive limited information such as payment status, subscription details, and transaction identifiers.
When you access or use the Service, we may automatically collect certain technical and usage information, including:
We may derive general location information from technical data such as IP address or device settings for purposes such as security, fraud prevention, analytics, and compliance with legal obligations.
We do not collect precise real-time GPS location data unless expressly disclosed at the time of collection and enabled by you.
If you opt in, we may collect information related to communications sent via email, in-app notifications, push notifications, or text messages, including delivery status and interaction data.

We may share information as described below and in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
Information you choose to share through the Service — such as profile information, posts, comments, messages, group participation, portfolios, or other content — may be visible to other users based on your account settings and the features you use.
We share information with third-party service providers that perform services on our behalf, such as: cloud hosting and infrastructure, payment processing, analytics and performance monitoring, communications and notification services, customer support and moderation tools.
These service providers are authorized to use information only as necessary to provide services to Uptick and are subject to contractual obligations to protect the information.

We may share limited information with advertising, measurement, and analytics partners to help deliver, personalize, and measure advertisements and sponsored content, as described in this Privacy Policy. Uptick does not sell personal information in exchange for monetary consideration.

If Uptick is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will require any successor entity to handle information in accordance with this Privacy Policy or a substantially similar policy.
We may share information with third parties when you provide consent or direct us to do so, such as when you authorize integrations or choose to share information externally.
