Privacy Policy

Trump Signal Tracker (“we,” “us,” or “our”) operates the website and service at this domain (the “Service”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, who we share it with, and the choices you have.

By creating an account or using the Service you agree to this policy. If you do not agree, please stop using the Service and delete your account.

Account & identity information

We use Clerk for authentication. When you sign up, Clerk collects your email address, name, and — if you choose — a social-login profile (e.g. Google). We store a reference to your Clerk user ID in our database to associate your preferences, plan, and activity with your account.

Payment information

Subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number, CVV, or bank details — those go directly to Stripe. We do store your Stripe customer ID and subscription status so we can enforce plan limits and manage billing.

Usage & activity data

We collect data about how you use the Service: articles you view or bookmark, watchlists and keyword alerts you create, notification preferences you set, and API keys / webhook endpoints you generate. This data is stored in our database and used solely to operate the features you have enabled.

Push notification tokens

If you enable browser push notifications we store your push subscription endpoint and encryption keys (generated by your browser) in our database so we can deliver alerts to you. You can revoke permission at any time from your browser settings or the Account page.

Analytics

We operate a first-party analytics system that logs aggregated usage events (e.g. page views, feature interactions) to improve the Service. We do not use Google Analytics or other third-party behaviour tracking scripts on this site.

Log & technical data

Like all web services, our hosting infrastructure (Vercel) automatically records server logs including IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, request timestamps, and error traces. These logs are used for security, debugging, and uptime monitoring, and are deleted on a rolling basis.

We use cookies and similar storage mechanisms for the following purposes:

• Session authentication — Clerk sets a session cookie to keep you logged in. This is strictly necessary for the Service to function.
• Preferences — We may store UI preferences (e.g. filter state) in localStorage in your browser. No personal data is involved.

We do not use advertising cookies or cross-site tracking. You can clear cookies and local storage via your browser settings; doing so will log you out of the Service.

• To create and manage your account and authenticate your sessions.
• To process subscription payments and manage your billing relationship through Stripe.
• To deliver push notifications, email alerts, and Discord/Telegram messages you have opted into.
• To enforce plan limits (free vs. Pro) and provide access to the features you have paid for.
• To respond to support requests or other communications you send us.
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, or violations of our Terms of Service.
• To monitor and improve service performance and reliability.

We do not sell your personal data and we do not use it to serve you targeted advertisements.

We share data only with the sub-processors listed below, strictly to operate the Service:

We may also disclose information where required by law, court order, or to protect the safety, rights, or property of us, our users, or the public.

We retain your account data for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account, we will delete your personal data from our primary database within 30 days, except where retention is required for legal or accounting obligations (e.g. payment records, which Stripe retains per their own policy).

Server logs are purged on a rolling 30-day basis. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymised before long-term retention.

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct inaccurate data (you can update profile info via Clerk directly).
• Delete your account and associated data.
• Port your data in a machine-readable format.
• Object to or restrict certain processing.
• Opt out of non-essential communications (manage from the Account page).

To exercise any of these rights, email us at support@trumpsignaltracker.com. We will respond within 30 days.

The Service is not directed at anyone under 13 years of age (or 16 in the EU/UK). We do not knowingly collect personal data from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.

Trump Signal Tracker is operated from the United States. Our service providers are primarily US-based. If you are located in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with data transfer restrictions, be aware that your data may be processed in the United States.

We use industry-standard measures to protect your data: TLS encryption in transit, encrypted database connections, and access controls restricting who can access production systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. For material changes we will notify you via email or a prominent in-app notice. Your continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
