Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle your data when you use LiveQuote.org, the LiveQuote mobile app (iOS and Android), the HODL app, and any other services offered under the LiveQuote or HODL brands (collectively, the "Service").

By using the Service, you agree to this Privacy Policy and to our data collection and usage practices described below.

Summary

• Use without an account: You can use the Service without telling us who you are. We do not collect any personally identifiable information unless you sign in.
• Optional sign-in: If you choose to sign in (e.g. via Bluesky, Google, Apple, or email), we collect the minimal data needed to authenticate you and enable features such as saved watchlists and portfolios.
• Saved items: Your watchlist, portfolio entries, and preferences are saved to your account or browser. These are private by default.
• No trading or financial services: We do not offer brokerage, trading, or investment advice. The Service is for informational and personal use only.
• Analytics: We use Plausible Analytics for privacy-friendly, cookie-free usage stats, and Google Analytics (with cookies) only where you consent if required by law.

Information We Collect

Without an Account

If you browse the Service without creating an account, we do not collect personally identifiable information.

With an Account

If you sign in, we collect minimal profile information such as your:

• Name, username/handle, and email (if provided by your sign-in method)
• Unique user identifier from the provider (e.g., Bluesky DID, Google ID)
• Saved preferences, watchlists, portfolios, and other usage data

We do not store your password. We only store what is necessary to enable your account.

Accounts and Sign-In

You may sign in via Bluesky, Google, Apple, or email. When you do, we receive profile information allowed by your provider. We store only what's needed to:

• Authenticate your session
• Enable personalized features (watchlists, portfolios, preferences)
• Connect to third-party services on your behalf (e.g., for Bluesky functionality)

You can disconnect any provider at any time. Some features may stop working if you do.

Data You Choose to Save

Any information you save—such as watchlists, portfolios, or topic preferences—is stored in your account or browser. This data is private by default. You may optionally choose to make certain items public (e.g., shared watchlists), but this requires your explicit opt-in.

Bluesky Functionality

If you connect a Bluesky account, we allow you to access Bluesky features from within our app or site. We use your Bluesky credentials to make requests on your behalf (e.g., view, post, or like content). We do not post or take any action without your initiation.

We do not store Bluesky content beyond what is needed to support the features you are using.

Analytics

Plausible Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics, a privacy-friendly analytics service that helps us understand general website usage. Plausible does not use cookies and does not collect personally identifiable information. All data is aggregated and anonymized. For example, we can see which pages are most visited, how long users stay on the site, and what countries traffic comes from — but we cannot track individual users. Plausible is fully compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and PECR, and is hosted in the European Union. You can learn more at plausible.io/data-policy.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand general usage and improve the Service. Google may collect anonymized data such as:

• Pages visited
• Device/browser info
• Duration of visit

Google may place cookies in your browser. You can learn more at policies.google.com/privacy or opt out using browser tools or Google's official plugins.

Where required by law, we'll request your consent before enabling analytics cookies.

Local Storage and Cookies

We use local storage and essential cookies to:

• Keep you signed in
• Remember your preferred view (e.g., Stocks or Crypto)
• Store anonymous UI settings on your device

These items are not transmitted to our servers. Non-essential cookies (like analytics) can be controlled via browser settings or consent banners.

Your Rights and Choices

• Block or delete cookies/local storage via browser settings
• Opt out of analytics, where required by law
• Change visibility of saved content at any time
• Disconnect sign-in providers from your account
• Request deletion of your account and all associated data

To request deletion or account changes, contact us at [email protected].

Changes to This Policy

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and notify you if material changes are made. Continued use of the Service after updates indicates your acceptance of the revised policy.
