Privacy Policy
Last updated November 4, 2026
The short version: we collect what Ripe needs to watch the market for you, we don't sell your data or show you ads, brokerage access is read-only, and you can ask us to delete everything.
What we collect
- Account: your email address and, if you sign in with Google, your name and profile picture from Google.
- What you set up and say: your setups and alerts, the reasons and plans you give for them, your watchlist, chat messages with Ripe, and notes or instructions you add.
- Linked brokerage accounts (optional): if you link one through SnapTrade, the holdings, positions, cost basis and account names it shares. Access is read-only. We never receive or store your brokerage password.
- How you use the app: which options you tap or pass over, how long things take to load, and errors, so we can see what helps and fix what doesn't.
- Device: a push-notification token so we can send alerts to your phone, plus basic technical details such as app version.
- Website: if you leave your email or phone number on ripe.watch, that contact detail and the prompt you tried.
We don't collect your Social Security number, bank account numbers or brokerage login details.
How we use it
- to run Ripe: check your setups against the market, send your alerts, show your holdings and answer your questions;
- to make Ripe better for you, for example by learning which kinds of setups you keep or skip;
- to keep Ripe secure, prevent abuse and fix problems;
- to contact you about your account, your alerts, and Ripe itself (you can opt out of non-essential messages).
We don't sell your personal information, and we don't use it for third-party advertising.
Who helps us run Ripe
We share data with service providers only as needed to run Ripe, under their own privacy and security terms:
- Supabase — our database and sign-in.
- Railway — the servers that run Ripe and this website.
- Anthropic — the AI that reads your chat messages and writes Ripe's replies and explanations. Under its commercial terms, what we send is not used to train its models.
- SnapTrade — read-only brokerage linking, if you choose it.
- Google Firebase — push notifications. Google — sign-in, if you choose it.
- Resend — sign-in and account emails. Twilio — text messages, if you give us your number.
Market data and news providers receive the tickers and dates we ask about, not your personal information. We may also disclose information if the law requires it, to protect people's safety or our rights, or as part of a merger or sale of Ripe (in which case this policy keeps applying to your data).
How long we keep it
We keep your data while your account is open. When you delete your account, we delete your personal data within 30 days, except anything we must keep by law. Backups roll off within a further 30 days.
Your choices
- See or export your data, correct it, or delete your account: email us and we'll do it within 30 days.
- Unlink a brokerage account at any time, in the app or through SnapTrade.
- Turn off notifications in your phone's settings; reply STOP to any text.
Depending on where you live (for example California or the EU/UK), you may have further rights under laws such as the CCPA or GDPR, including to know what we hold, to object to certain uses and to complain to a regulator. Email us to use any of them; we won't treat you differently for doing so.
Security
Data is encrypted in transit and stored with our providers' encryption at rest; access to it is limited to what running Ripe needs. No system is perfectly secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, and we'll tell you if a breach affects your data as the law requires.
Children
Ripe is for adults 18 and over and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect data from anyone under 18; if you think we have, email us and we'll delete it.
Changes
If we change this policy in a significant way, we'll tell you in the app or by email before it takes effect.
