Introduction
Thank you for choosing the App, offered by SweetSpot ("SweetSpot," "we," "us," or "our"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how SweetSpot collects, uses, shares, and protects your information when you use the App.
1. Information We Collect
Categories
- Personal: Name, email, investment interests, billing information (handled through third-party services).
- Usage: Device details, IP address, browser type, app usage, and account subscription records.
- AI Data: Publicly available stock prices from sources such as the Alpha Vantage public API.
Google Analytics
- We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with our service and improve user experience.
- IP anonymization is enabled, so your full IP address is never stored.
- Analytics data is not combined with other personal information.
- Processing is covered by a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement with Google.
- You can opt out via your browser settings or Google’s opt‑out tools.
Firebase Hosting
- We use Firebase Hosting (Google Cloud) to host and serve our website and services.
- Static assets and hosting logs are handled with privacy and security safeguards.
- Processing is covered by a GDPR-compliant Data Processing Agreement with Google Cloud.

- Access is restricted via role‑based access controls and audit logging.
- Your user data is stored in Google Cloud data centers located in the European Union, specifically in regions such as Belgium, the Netherlands, and Finland (for example: europe‑west1, europe‑west4, europe‑north1). See Google Cloud Locations for more details.
Stripe Payments
- We use Stripe to process payments and manage subscriptions securely.
- Your card details are entered into Stripe's secure payment form and sent directly to Stripe's servers.
- We never see or store your full credit card number or CVC; Stripe provides us only with tokens and limited details (for example, the last four digits and card brand) for billing records.
