Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy outlines how Keep Compounding ("we", "us", or "our"), headquartered in Pune, Maharashtra, India, collects, processes, and protects your information when you access or use our website (kcapp.in, keepcompounding.app) and related quantitative analytics services.

By accessing or using our platform, you acknowledge and agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree with any part, please discontinue using the service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect information to provide and enhance our financial screening tools:

• Account Data: When registering, you may provide your name, email address (e.g. user@keepcompounding.app), phone number, and encrypted password.
• User-Generated Content: Custom watchlist configurations, trade journal entries, personal notes, and filter criteria stored in your private profile.
• Technical & Usage Metrics: IP addresses, browser types, operating systems, and page visit telemetry (used exclusively for security audit, spam protection, and latency optimization).
• Communications: Messages, feedback, or support tickets submitted via our contact forms.

3. Financial & Broker Information We Never Collect

Keep Compounding is an analytics and screening engine, not a broker or investment execution platform:

• We never ask for or store your Demat account credentials, trading PINs, TOTP keys, or banking passwords.
• We do not execute automated broker orders on your behalf.
• We do not process credit or debit card numbers directly; any payment processing relies on PCI-DSS certified gateway providers.

4. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used strictly to:

• Authenticate your identity and maintain persistent user sessions.
• Save and sync your custom screeners, indices alerts, and trading journals across devices.
• Send essential transactional updates (account verification, password reset tokens).
• Detect and mitigate denial-of-service (DoS) attacks and unauthorized scraping activities.

5. Cookies and Client-Side Storage

We use strictly necessary cookies (such as Django session IDs and CSRF security tokens) and HTML5 LocalStorage to preserve your theme preference (Dark Mode / Light Mode). We do not deploy aggressive cross-site ad tracking cookies.

6. Data Security & Regulatory Compliance (India DPDP Act 2023)

In compliance with the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act) of India and global standards:

• Passwords are hashed using industry-standard cryptographic PBKDF2/SHA-256 algorithms.
• All traffic between your browser and our servers is secured over TLS/HTTPS (Port 443).
• You have the right to request access to, modification of, or complete deletion of your account data at any time by contacting our privacy desk.

7. Third-Party Services & Links

Our platform contains outbound links to official exchange portals (NSE India, BSE India), market data providers, and social community channels (Telegram, YouTube, WhatsApp). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of external websites.
