1. Introduction
Welcome to Market Owl, operated by Arthashilpi Ventures (“we,” “us,” or “our”). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our Market Owl mobile application (the “App”). By downloading, installing, or using Market Owl, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy.
2. Scope of This Policy
This Privacy Policy applies solely to information collected directly through the App. The App provides real-time market information (e.g., index values, stock quotes, charts) stored and served from our own servers. There is no user registration or login functionality, and we do not collect personal identifiers to access or use the App.
3. Information We Collect
We are committed to minimizing data collection. As such:
- No Personal Identification Information (PII). We do not request or store your name, email address, phone number, or any other directly identifiable information.
- No Account Credentials. Since there is no login or registration process, we do not collect usernames, passwords, or authentication tokens.
- Technical Logs Only. To ensure the App runs smoothly, we may collect generic crash reports or error logs. Those logs do not include your name, email, IP address, precise device identifiers, or geolocation. They contain only anonymized technical details—such as app version, device model, operating system version, and timestamp of the crash.
- No Analytics or Tracking. We do not incorporate any analytics SDKs, advertising libraries, or behavioral-tracking tools. We do not log your IP address, GPS location, or any usage patterns tied to a unique device identifier.
4. How We Use Information
Because we collect almost no information, our use is strictly limited to:
- App Functionality & Maintenance. We use anonymized crash reports or generic error logs to troubleshoot bugs, improve app stability, and deliver timely updates.
- Legal Obligations. We may disclose information (if any minimal logs exist) when required by law—such as responding to valid subpoenas, court orders, or government regulations. We do not share your data for marketing or advertising purposes because we collect no personal data.
5. Data Storage & Retention
- On-Server Market Data. All market data displayed in the App is stored on our secure servers. That data is publicly available information we aggregate and cache internally. We do not share or sell this data to any third parties.
- Crash Logs. Any technical logs or anonymized error reports retained on our servers are stored only long enough to identify and fix issues (generally no more than 30 days). After resolving issues, logs are purged automatically.
- No User Data Retention. Since we do not collect personal or device-specific data, there is nothing tied to you personally that we store. Uninstalling the App removes any residual settings or local cache stored on your device.
