Privacy Policy

1. Information We Collect

When you create an account, we collect your email address and, if you choose to give them, your name and mobile number. If you sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address and profile picture with us, and we use them only to run your account. We do not ask for card, bank or government identity details. When you use the Platform, we and our service providers collect usage information such as the pages you visit, the features you use, device and browser details, and error reports. For signed-in users, this information may be linked to the account.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use your information to provide and improve the Platform, to sign you in, to send emails about your account and the service, to send updates you have chosen to receive, and to keep the Platform secure. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use it for targeted advertising.

3. Data Storage & Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies that the Platform needs to work, such as keeping you signed in and remembering which Stage2Stocks site you picked, India or US. We also use analytics cookies that help us understand how the Platform is used. We do not use advertising cookies. You can control cookies in your browser settings, though blocking some of them may stop parts of the Platform from working.

We use Google Analytics to understand how the site is used; Google explains what it collects and how it uses it in How Google uses information from sites or apps that use our services.

5. Email Communications

We send emails needed to run your account, such as sign-in codes, account verification and payment receipts. You can unsubscribe from other emails at any time using the link in each email. You cannot opt out of essential account and security emails.

6. Service Providers

We use service providers to host the Platform, send email, process payments and measure usage. Each receives only the information it needs for that work and handles it under its own privacy terms. Some may process information outside India.

7. Data Retention

We keep personal information while your account is open, and afterwards for as long as needed for the purposes in this policy or to meet legal, tax and security obligations.

8. Your Rights

You may ask to access, correct or erase your personal information, or to close your account, by writing to hello@stage2stocks.com. We will respond within 30 days, subject to any information we must keep by law. You can also update your profile from the Settings page.

9. Children

The Platform is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we learn that a minor has provided personal information, we will delete it promptly.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated to registered users by email. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

11. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of India, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023, and the rules under them. Disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
