1. What Information Do We Collect?
Personal information you disclose to us
We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when you register for the Services, or otherwise when you contact us. The personal information we collect may include:
Names — collected when you sign in with Apple (given and family name)
Email addresses — collected at account registration
Passwords — collected only for email/password sign-in (stored as a one-way hash, never in plain text)
Authentication data — Apple identity tokens used to verify your identity, and the Sign in with Apple authorization we hold so we can revoke it when you delete your account
Subscription information — Apple transaction identifiers and your subscription status and expiry date (Apple processes your payment; we never receive your payment card details)
Information you enter in the app — manually added assets and their values, custom account names, cost basis adjustments, target allocations, concentration limits, and your benchmark choice
Device information — your device's push notification token, if you enable notifications
Technical and diagnostic information — crash reports and diagnostics (such as device model, operating system version, and app version) collected by our crash-reporting provider, and IP addresses, which are processed as part of ordinary internet connections by our hosting and crash-reporting providers
Sensitive information
We process the following categories of sensitive information:
Account login credentials — your email and password or Apple Sign-In token
Financial information — investment holdings, account balances, investment transactions, cost basis and tax lot information where available, and brokerage account data retrieved via Plaid Technologies, Inc. on your behalf, along with values we calculate from it (such as daily portfolio value history and periodic performance recaps)
We do not collect biometric data, health data, government identifiers, or any other sensitive categories not listed above. If you turn on Face ID or Touch ID app lock, it is handled entirely by iOS on your device; we never receive your biometric data.
Information collected from third parties
When you connect a financial account through our Services, we receive data from Plaid Technologies, Inc., including account balances, holdings, investment transactions, security names, quantities, cost basis where available, and associated financial institution information. This data is retrieved on your behalf and stored securely in your account.
2. How Do We Process Your Information?
We process your personal information for the following purposes:
- To deliver and facilitate delivery of our Services to you
- To create and manage your user account
- To protect our Services and prevent fraud
- To respond to user inquiries and offer support
- To send you notifications and messages, such as push notifications about portfolio alerts, performance recaps, accounts that need reconnecting, and trial or subscription reminders, and account-related emails
- To evaluate and improve our Services, products, and user experience
- To comply with our legal obligations
3. When and With Whom Do We Share Your Personal Information?
We only share your information in the following limited circumstances:
Service Providers
We disclose personal information to the following third-party service providers who assist us in operating our Services:
| Third Party | Purpose | Privacy Policy |
|---|---|---|
| Plaid Technologies, Inc. | Financial account aggregation and data retrieval | plaid.com/legal |
| Apple Inc. | Sign in with Apple, in-app purchase processing (Pro subscription), and push notification delivery | apple.com/legal/privacy |
| Railway Corp. | Cloud hosting and infrastructure for our servers and database | railway.com/legal/privacy |
| Functional Software, Inc. (Sentry) | Crash and error reporting from the app and our servers | sentry.io/privacy |
| Resend, Inc. | Sending account-related and operational emails | resend.com/legal/privacy-policy |
We also use third-party market-data providers to retrieve public security prices and fund information. We send them only public security identifiers (such as ticker symbols), not information that identifies you.
We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personal information to any other outside parties. We do not share your information with advertisers, affiliates, or business partners.
4. Do We Use Cookies and Other Tracking Technologies?
No. Ardevio is a native iOS application and does not use cookies, web beacons, pixels, or any other tracking technologies.
5. How Long Do We Keep Your Information?
We retain your personal information for as long as you maintain an account with us.
When you delete your account in the app, we delete the information associated with your account from our active systems immediately and permanently, including your linked-account connections and the financial data we retrieved through them. We also ask Plaid to remove your linked connections and, where we hold the authorization, revoke our Sign in with Apple authorization. We cannot restore an account once it is deleted.
Some information may remain for a period after deletion outside our active systems:
Our service providers (including Plaid, Apple, Railway, Sentry, and Resend) keep their own logs, backups, and records under their own retention policies, which we do not control and which may change over time. Please review their privacy policies, linked above, for details.
Backups and logs maintained by our hosting provider, if any, may continue to contain copies of your information until they expire in the ordinary course.
We may keep limited records where needed to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our terms, or protect the security of the Services. For example, we keep a record of administrative actions on accounts, from which we remove your email address when you delete your account.
6. How Do We Keep Your Information Safe?
We implement appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information, including:
- Encryption of financial access tokens at rest (AES-256-GCM)
- TLS/HTTPS encryption for all data in transit
- JWT-based authentication on all API endpoints
- User data strictly scoped by account — you can only access your own data
However, no electronic transmission over the internet or information storage technology can be guaranteed to be 100% secure. We cannot promise or guarantee that hackers, cybercriminals, or other unauthorized third parties will not be able to defeat our security.
7. Do We Collect Information from Minors?
We do not knowingly collect, solicit data from, or market to children under 18 years of age. By using the Services, you represent that you are at least 18 years old. If we learn that personal information from users under 18 has been collected, we will deactivate the account and take reasonable measures to promptly delete such data.
8. What Are Your Privacy Rights?
You may review, change, or terminate your account at any time by:
- Logging into your account settings in the Ardevio app and updating your information or deleting your account
- Contacting us at support@ardevio.app
When you request account deletion, we will deactivate or delete your account and permanently remove all associated data from our active systems, as described in Section 5.
9. Controls for Do-Not-Track Features
Ardevio does not track users across third-party websites or online services. We do not respond to Do-Not-Track signals because we do not engage in the type of tracking such signals are designed to prevent.
