Privacy Policy

Last updated 29 July 2026

Who is responsible for your data

TickerCheck is operated by M Morton, a sole trader, trading from Suite 1007, 22 Notting Hill Gate, London W11 3JE, United Kingdom. M Morton is the data controller for the personal data described here. Contact: support@tickercheck.app.

The short version

We do not run a database. We hold no user table of our own. Your account is your email address and whether your subscription is active, and those live with Stripe, our payment provider.

There is no analytics, no tracking, no advertising and no profiling anywhere on this site. We do not record which companies you research, and we never sell or share your data.

Your Anthropic API key is never stored. It passes through our server for a single request and is gone when that request ends.

What we collect, why, and on what legal basis

Data	Why	Legal basis
Email address	To sign you in by emailed link, and to identify your subscription	Performance of our contract with you
Subscription status (active, cancelled, payment state)	To decide whether you may use the Service	Performance of our contract with you
Payment details	To take payment. Entered on Stripe's own page; we never see or hold your card number	Performance of our contract with you
Anthropic API key	Passed to Anthropic to run the analysis you asked for. Never logged, written to disk or retained	Performance of our contract with you
Session cookie	To keep you signed in for 30 days. Holds your email and whether your subscription was active when issued. Marked httpOnly so page scripts cannot read it	Strictly necessary for a service you requested
Server request logs (IP address, timestamp, URL, response status)	Recorded by our host to deliver the site and protect it from abuse	Our legitimate interest in security and reliability

We do not collect your name, postal address, date of birth or any other profile information, and we never ask for them.

Cookies

One cookie, tc_session, set when you sign in and lasting 30 days. It is what keeps you signed in. There are no analytics cookies, no advertising cookies and no third party trackers, which is why you are not asked for cookie consent.

Separately, your browser's local storage holds your Anthropic API key only if you tick “Remember on this device”, plus a small local record of token counts used to show your usage figures. Both stay on your device, never reach us, and are removed when you clear your site data.

Who else processes your data

Four providers, each for one purpose. All are outside the UK and EEA, so transfers rely on the safeguards in their data processing terms, such as Standard Contractual Clauses and the UK Addendum.

Provider	What they receive	What for
Stripe	Email, payment details, subscription record	Payments and billing
Anthropic	The ticker you entered, the analysis request, your API key	Running the analysis
Resend	Your email address	Delivering sign in links
Vercel	Standard request metadata	Hosting the site

Public data used in an analysis, from SEC EDGAR, FINRA, the FCA and European Central Bank reference rates, is requested by our server using only a ticker symbol. Those sources receive nothing that identifies you.

We may also disclose data where the law requires it.

How long we keep it

Your API key: not retained at all. It exists only for the duration of one request.
Email and subscription record: kept by Stripe while you are a customer. Records relating to payments are retained afterwards for as long as tax and accounting law requires, which in the UK is six years.
Session cookie: 30 days, or until you sign out.
Server logs: retained by our host for a limited period under their own policy.
Your analyses: not stored by us at all.

Your rights

Under UK and EU data protection law you can ask us to:

give you a copy of the personal data we hold about you;
correct anything inaccurate;
delete your data, subject to records we must keep for tax purposes;
restrict or object to how we use it;
provide it in a portable format.

Email support@tickercheck.app and we will respond within one month. There is no charge.

If you are unhappy with how we have handled your data you can complain to the UK Information Commissioner's Office at ico.org.uk, or to your local supervisory authority if you are in the EU.

Children

TickerCheck is not intended for anyone under 18 and we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Changes

If we change this policy we will update the date above, and will email you if the change is material.
