Effective Date: September 25, 2026 · Last updated: November 14, 2026This Privacy Policy explains how DeepValues ("the Service", "we", "us", or "our"), available at deepvalues.ai and through our mobile app, collects, uses, and protects your personal information. By creating an account or using the Service, you agree to the practices described here.We collect only the information needed to operate the Service:(a) Account information — your email address, and, if you sign in with Apple or Google, the identifier those providers share with us. We never receive your password from Apple or Google.(b) Content you create — your watchlist, notes and journal entries, and any community posts, theses, comments, reactions, follows, or reports you submit.(c) Usage and device data — basic logs such as features used, requests made, app version, and device type, used to keep the Service reliable and secure. When you create an account from a link that names its source (for example a link we posted), we record that source with your account so we can tell which channels are worth our time. We do not use cookies for this. These usage records are kept for at most 13 months and then deleted automatically.(d) Billing data — if you subscribe or buy credits, our payment processor handles your card details; we receive only the subscription status and a customer reference, never your full card number.(e) The Monday letter — if you sign up for our weekly email without an account, we store your email address, the language and page you signed up from, the consent wording you were shown, and when you confirmed. We never store your IP address, only a one-way code derived from it to stop abuse of the signup form. We use this only to send the letter and to learn which parts of it readers find useful: links in the letter pass through our own site, which records that the link was clicked, by which subscription, in which issue and section, and in which language, before taking you on. We do not record your IP address or device for this, we use no third-party trackers, and we do not track whether you open the letter. Every issue has a one-click unsubscribe link; after you unsubscribe we keep only the record that you did, so we never mail you again.
Improving the Service and testing changes. To learn what helps people and to test improvements, we record how the Service is used: the screens and pages you open, the features you use, how far and how long you read, whether you copy, share or re-ask an AI answer, and which version of a screen you saw when we compare two versions of it. These records are kept under a pseudonymous code that we derive from your account; they never contain your email address, name or IP address, and we never use them for advertising or share them with anyone. If you are not signed in, we use only a random code that lasts for one visit in your browser tab (no cookie, nothing that lasts beyond the visit), and we do not link it to your account if you sign in later. A small share of members always sees the current version so we can measure the effect of changes over time. You can turn this off at any time with Help improve DeepValues in Settings; we then stop recording it and you stop taking part in comparisons. Billing and security records are kept either way. These records are kept for at most 13 months, and are deleted when you delete your account.Feedback you send us. When you send feedback in the app or on the web, rate an AI answer, answer a one-question survey, reply to one of our emails, or talk with us on a call, we store what you wrote, your rating or choice, your account (if you are signed in) and plan, your language, and the context needed to act on it: the screen or page you were on, the company you were looking at, the app version and your device type. A screenshot is sent only if you choose to attach one, after you have had the chance to blur any part of it on your device. A call is recorded only if you agree at the start of the call; the recording is transcribed by Microsoft Azure and then deleted, and we keep the transcript and our notes. Written feedback is screened automatically for abusive content and sorted into topics by Azure services that process it on our behalf. We use feedback only to improve the Service and to tell you when something you asked for has shipped; we never publish it with your name. Reviews you post on the App Store or Google Play, and feedback you send through Apple TestFlight, are read into the same place so that we can act on them.We use your information to provide and maintain the Service, authenticate you, sync your watchlist and notes across devices, power community features, process subscriptions and credit purchases, send service-related notifications you have enabled, prevent abuse, and comply with our legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not use your private notes or watchlist for advertising. Ads in the Android app are served by Google AdMob, as described in Section 3(d); they are never placed inside your research briefings.We rely on a small number of trusted providers to run the Service. Each receives only the data needed for its function:(a) Microsoft Azure — hosting for the Service, our own sign-in system, and the database that holds your account and content.(b) Stripe, Apple, and Google Play — payment processing for subscriptions and credits, depending on where you buy. We receive a purchase confirmation, never your card details.(c) Apple and Google — optional sign-in, if you choose to use them.(d) Google AdMob (Android app only) — the free tier of our Android app shows a small number of ads: a native card at the end of lists and an optional rewarded video you choose to watch. The AdMob SDK may use your device's Advertising ID and approximate location to serve and measure ads, as described in Google's privacy policy. Where the law requires it, we ask for your consent before ads are shown, and you can reset or delete the Advertising ID in your device settings. Plus members see no ads. The iOS app and the web app contain no advertising.
These providers process data on our behalf under their own privacy and security commitments. We also obtain market and financial data from third-party data vendors; that data is not personal to you.Posts, theses, and other entries you mark as public are visible to other signed-in members along with a display name derived from your account. Notes and entries you keep private are visible only to you. You can block other members so their content no longer appears in your feeds, and you can report content that violates our guidelines.We retain your information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we remove your personal data and content as described below. We may retain limited records where required for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes, and we retain anonymized or aggregated data that no longer identifies you. Feedback, screenshots, survey answers and call notes are kept for at most 24 months and then deleted automatically, and sooner if you delete your account. Usage records (the features you used and the screens you opened) are kept for at most 13 months and then deleted automatically.You can permanently delete your account and associated data at any time from within the app, via the Delete Account option in account settings. Deletion removes your profile, watchlist, notes, community content, follows, the feedback you sent us (with any screenshots and survey answers), and related records from our systems, deletes or permanently unlinks your usage records, and signs you out on all devices. This action is irreversible. If you need help, you can also contact us at the address below.We use industry-standard safeguards — encryption in transit, hashed credentials, and access controls — to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security, but we work to protect your data and to promptly address any issues that arise.The Service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, please contact us so we can remove it.Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, export, or delete your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can exercise most of these rights directly in the app, or by contacting us. We will respond consistent with applicable law.We operate the Service from the United States, and your information may be processed and stored in the United States or other countries where our providers operate. By using the Service, you understand that your information may be transferred to facilities subject to different data-protection laws than those of your country.We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes are effective when posted to the Service, and we will update the effective date above. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or your data, please contact us at team@deepvalues.ai.By using DeepValues, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy.
