BY USING THE SERVICE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE DATA PRACTICES DESCRIBED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.
1. Overview
FieldCrest Ventures LLC ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") operates the Signa platform ("Service"). This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, store, disclose, and protect information in connection with your access to and use of the Service, including access via web interface, API, Model Context Protocol (MCP), or any Agent-to-Agent (A2A) integration.
2. Information We Collect
2.1 Account and Registration Information
When you create an account, we may collect full name, email address, password (stored encrypted — we do not store plaintext passwords), phone number (for two-factor verification), and organization or firm name.
2.2 Usage and Activity Data
We automatically collect information about how you interact with the Service, including pages viewed, features accessed, Signal Outputs interacted with, timestamps and session activity, clickstream data, filter selections, screener parameters, and watchlist configurations.
2.3 Technical and Device Information
We may collect IP address and geographic region, browser type and version, device type and operating system, User-Agent string, and referring URLs and entry points.
2.4 API and Programmatic Access Data
If you access the Service via API, MCP Server, or any programmatic channel, we collect API keys and associated metadata (Agent-ID, User-Agent header), complete request logs including endpoint accessed, HTTP method, response status, and timestamp, usage patterns and request velocity, and any error codes generated by your requests. This telemetry data is used for security monitoring, abuse detection, rate limit enforcement, and compliance verification. You consent to this collection as a condition of programmatic access.
2.5 Broker and Third-Party Integration Data
If you connect third-party broker platforms (Alpaca, tastytrade, Coinbase Advanced Trade), we may collect connection status and integration configuration, account identifiers provided by the third-party platform, and API tokens or credentials, which are stored using industry-standard encryption. We do not control data collected by third-party brokers and are not responsible for their privacy practices.
2.6 Payment Information
Payments are processed by Stripe, Inc. We do not store full credit card numbers. We may retain billing status, subscription tier, transaction metadata, and Stripe customer ID.
2.7 Communications and Support
We collect information you provide when contacting support, submitting inquiries, or engaging in enterprise discussions.
3. How We Use Information
We use collected information to: operate, maintain, and secure the Service; authenticate users; provide features and deliver Signal Outputs; monitor for abuse, fraud, and unauthorized access; improve platform performance and signal quality; develop new features; enforce our Terms of Use; communicate with users regarding accounts and security; and comply with legal obligations.
4. AI, Analytics, and Model Improvement
We may use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data derived from platform usage to improve system performance, analyze usage patterns, and enhance internal quantitative infrastructure. We do not use identifiable personal data to train external AI models without your explicit authorization.
Important: "Signal Distillation" — the use of Signal Outputs to train, fine-tune, or ground any AI or algorithmic system — is strictly prohibited under the Terms of Use regardless of whether you are the Subscriber. This applies to you and to any automated system you operate.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell personal information. We do not share personal information for third-party advertising or marketing purposes. We may share information in the following limited circumstances:
5.1 Service Providers
We share data with vendors who assist in operating the Service, including hosting providers, analytics services, payment processors, and infrastructure vendors. These providers are contractually obligated to protect your data and may only use it for the specific purpose for which it was shared. Current categories of subprocessors include cloud infrastructure, payment processing (Stripe, Inc.), authentication services, and analytics and monitoring tools.
5.2 Legal and Compliance Disclosures
We may disclose information to comply with applicable law, regulation, or legal process; in response to a valid court order, subpoena, or government request; to protect the rights, property, or safety of Company, its users, or the public; or to prevent fraud, investigate violations of our Terms, or enforce our legal rights.
5.3 Business Transfers
In connection with a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will provide reasonable notice prior to personal information being transferred and becoming subject to a different privacy policy.
5.4 Enforcement and Abuse Prevention
We may use and disclose information — including API telemetry, request logs, and watermark signal analysis — to detect abuse, enforce contractual restrictions, investigate violations of our Terms of Use, and pursue available legal remedies.
6. Data Retention

- Account information is retained for the duration of your subscription and for three (3) years following account closure, unless required otherwise by law.
- API request logs and telemetry data are retained for up to two (2) years for security, abuse prevention, and compliance purposes.
- Payment and billing records are retained as required by applicable financial and tax regulations.
- Aggregated, anonymized usage data may be retained indefinitely as it does not constitute personal information.
7. Data Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect personal data against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encrypted storage of passwords and sensitive credentials, TLS/HTTPS encryption for data in transit, access controls and authentication requirements for internal systems, monitoring and logging of system activity, and regular security reviews.
NO SYSTEM IS COMPLETELY SECURE. WE DO NOT GUARANTEE ABSOLUTE SECURITY. USE OF THE SERVICE INVOLVES INHERENT DATA RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNET-BASED SERVICES. YOU ASSUME SUCH RISKS.
