Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Retail Picks LLC (“Earnings Radar,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) collects, uses, shares, and protects personal information when you use the Earnings Radar website at earningsradar.org, our iPhone app, and related services (together, the “Services”). It also describes the privacy rights available to you, including under the EU/UK General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the CPRA.
Quick summary
- We collect the information you give us (like your email and watchlist) and basic usage/device data.
- We use it to run and improve the Services, sync your watchlist, and send earnings alerts you ask for.
- We do not sell your personal information, and we don’t share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.
- You can access, correct, or delete your data at any time by emailing retail.picksllc@gmail.com.
1. Who we are
The Services are operated by Retail Picks LLC. For any privacy question or request, contact us at retail.picksllc@gmail.com. For the purposes of the GDPR, Retail Picks LLC is the “data controller” of the personal information described in this policy.
Earnings Radar provides market and earnings information for general informational purposes only. It is not investment, financial, legal, or tax advice.
2. Information we collect
2.1 Information you provide
- Account information. When you create an account, we collect your email address, a display name (optional), and an account identifier. Accounts are managed through Google Firebase Authentication. If you register with an email and password, your password is handled and stored by Firebase’s authentication system — we never see or store your plain-text password.
- “Continue with Google” sign-in. If you choose to sign in with Google, Google shares your name, email address, and Google account identifier with us so we can create or access your account. We do not receive your Google password.
- Watchlist and preferences. The tickers you follow, alert settings, and app preferences. This “watchlist” is stored and synced across your devices so it stays consistent wherever you sign in.
- Communications. If you email us or send feedback, we receive your message, email address, and anything you include.
2.2 Information collected automatically
- Usage & analytics data. We use Google Analytics (loaded via Google Tag Manager) to understand how the Services are used. This may include pages viewed, links clicked, session length, referring website, browser and device type, operating system, language, and a truncated/approximate location derived from your IP address.
- Device & log data. IP address, device identifiers, app version, and diagnostic/crash information.
- Cookies & similar technologies. See Section 7.
2.3 Push notifications and device tokens
If you enable notifications in the iPhone app, we collect a push notification token from Apple Push Notification service (APNs) and an associated device identifier. We use these solely to deliver the earnings alerts, reminders, and Live Activities you have requested. You can turn notifications off at any time in your device settings, which stops delivery.
2.4 Information we do not intentionally collect
We do not ask for government IDs, financial account numbers, or brokerage credentials. Please do not send us sensitive information we don’t request. Earnings Radar is not a brokerage and does not execute trades.
3. How we use information
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services, including creating your account and authenticating you.
- Sync your watchlist and preferences across your devices.
- Send the earnings alerts, reminders, and Live Activities you enable.
- Measure and improve performance, features, and reliability (analytics).
- Provide AI-generated earnings summaries and insights (see Section 6).
- Protect the Services, prevent fraud and abuse, and maintain security.
- Respond to your requests and communicate with you about the Services.
- Comply with legal obligations and enforce our terms.
4. Legal bases for processing (EU/UK users)
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, we process your personal data on the following legal bases:
- Performance of a contract — to provide the account, watchlist sync, and features you request.
- Consent — for push notifications and non-essential analytics/cookies. You may withdraw consent at any time.
- Legitimate interests — to secure, maintain, and improve the Services, where not overridden by your rights.
- Legal obligation — to comply with applicable laws and respond to lawful requests.
5. How we share information
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We share information only as described here:
- Service providers (processors) who perform services for us — such as authentication, hosting, analytics, push delivery, and AI summarization — under contracts that require them to protect your data and use it only for us. See Section 6.
- Legal and safety — when required by law, subpoena, or legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Earnings Radar, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers — in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, in which case we will require the recipient to honor this policy or notify you.
- With your direction — when you ask us to share information.
6. Third-party services we use
| Provider | Purpose | Privacy information |
|---|---|---|
| Google Firebase (Authentication) | Account creation, sign-in, password handling | firebase.google.com/support/privacy |
| Google Sign-In | Optional “Continue with Google” login | policies.google.com/privacy |
| Google Analytics / Tag Manager | Website usage analytics | policies.google.com/privacy |

AI insights are generated from publicly available market and earnings data and are used to produce summaries shown in the app. We do not send your account credentials or watchlist to the AI provider to generate general market summaries.
7. Cookies & tracking technologies
We and our analytics provider use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and measure usage. Analytics cookies are only set if you choose Accept on the cookie banner shown on your first visit; choosing Decline keeps analytics cookies off. You can also control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect functionality.
Do Not Track / Global Privacy Control. Some browsers offer a “Do Not Track” signal or a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. Because we do not sell or share personal information for advertising, there is nothing to opt out of; where required, we treat a GPC signal as a valid opt-out request.
8. Data retention
We keep personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Services, and thereafter only as necessary to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within a reasonable period, except where retention is legally required.
9. Security
We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards — including encryption in transit and access controls through our authentication provider — designed to protect your information. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security. If we become aware of a breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and any regulator as required by law.
10. International data transfers
We are based in the United States, and our providers may process data in the United States and other countries. If you access the Services from outside the U.S., your information may be transferred to, stored, and processed in the U.S. Where required, we rely on appropriate safeguards for such transfers, such as the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses.
11. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have some or all of the following rights:
- Access — request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction — ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Deletion — ask us to delete your personal information.
- Portability — receive your data in a portable format.
- Restriction / objection — restrict or object to certain processing.
- Withdraw consent — withdraw consent (e.g., notifications) at any time, without affecting prior processing.
- Complaint — lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (EU/UK users).
To exercise any right, email retail.picksllc@gmail.com. We will verify your request (typically by confirming control of your account email) and respond within the time required by applicable law. We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights.
12. Additional information for California residents (CCPA/CPRA)
In the past 12 months, we have collected the categories of personal information described in Section 2 — namely identifiers (e.g., email, device identifiers), internet/network activity (usage and analytics), approximate geolocation (from IP), and account information you provide. We collect it for the business purposes in Section 3 and share it only with the service providers in Section 6.
We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not knowingly sell or share the personal information of consumers under 16.
California residents have the right to know, access, correct, and delete personal information, and to not receive discriminatory treatment for exercising these rights. To the extent we process any sensitive personal information, you may request that we limit its use to what is necessary to provide the Services. You may submit a request by emailing retail.picksllc@gmail.com, and you may use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf with proper authorization.
13. Children’s privacy
The Services are intended for adults and are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 (or under 13 in the United States under COPPA). If you believe a child has provided us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
14. Third-party links
The Services may link to third-party websites or resources (for example, source data or our X account). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties, and we encourage you to review their policies.
15. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and, for material changes, provide additional notice as required by law. Your continued use of the Services after an update means you accept the revised policy.
