Our Commitment to Your Privacy

At Draconis Stynthyera, we understand that your personal information is just that – personal. When you trust us with your data while using our investment research platform, we take that responsibility seriously.

This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you visit our website or use our services. We operate under Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), and we're committed to maintaining the highest standards of data protection.

We believe in transparency. If something in this policy doesn't make sense or you have questions, reach out to us directly. We'd rather have a conversation than leave you wondering about how your data is handled.

Information We Collect

We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Here's what we gather and why:

How We Collect This Information

• Directly from you when you register, contact us, or use our services
• Automatically through cookies and similar technologies as you browse our platform
• From publicly available sources when conducting investment research
• Through third-party tools we use for analytics and platform improvement

How We Use Your Information

Your data serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with our investment research platform:

Service Delivery

We use your information to provide personalized investment research, maintain your account, and deliver the specific tools and insights you're looking for. This includes customizing research recommendations based on your stated interests and investment focus areas.

Communication

We'll send you research updates, platform notifications, and respond to your inquiries. You can control what communications you receive through your account settings.

Platform Improvement

Usage data helps us understand which features are most valuable and where we can make improvements. This aggregate data doesn't identify individual users but helps us build a better research platform.

Legal Compliance

Sometimes we're required to process data for legal reasons, such as tax reporting or responding to valid legal requests from Canadian authorities.

Your Rights and Control

Under Canadian privacy law, you have significant control over your personal information. Here's what you can do:

How to Exercise Your Rights

To make any of these requests, email us at [email protected] with "Privacy Request" in the subject line. Include your full name and account email address. We'll verify your identity and respond within 30 days.

If you're not satisfied with our response, you can file a complaint with the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Data Security and Protection

We protect your information using industry-standard security measures appropriate for the type of data we handle:

Data Retention

We keep your personal information only as long as necessary to provide our services or meet legal requirements. Account information is typically retained for seven years after account closure for tax and regulatory purposes.

Usage data and analytics information is anonymized after two years and may be retained longer for platform improvement purposes.

Data Breach Response

In the unlikely event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we'll notify you within 72 hours and provide clear information about what happened and what steps we're taking.

Sharing and Disclosure

We don't sell your personal information to third parties. Ever. Here are the limited situations where we might share your data:

Service Providers

We work with trusted companies that help us operate our platform – things like hosting services, email delivery, and payment processing. These providers can only use your information to deliver services on our behalf and are bound by strict confidentiality agreements.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information when required by Canadian law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the public.

Business Transfers

If Draconis Stynthyera is acquired or merged with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. You'll be notified of any such changes.

With Your Consent

Any other sharing of your personal information will only happen with your explicit consent, and you can withdraw that consent at any time.

Cookies and Tracking

Our website uses cookies and similar technologies to improve your experience and understand how our platform is used.

Essential Cookies

These are necessary for the website to function properly – things like keeping you logged in and remembering your preferences. You can't opt out of these without affecting site functionality.

Analytics Cookies

We use these to understand how visitors use our site so we can make improvements. This data is aggregated and doesn't identify individual users.

Managing Cookies

You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences. Keep in mind that disabling certain cookies may limit platform functionality.

International Data Transfers

We primarily store and process data within Canada. However, some of our service providers may process data in the United States or other countries with adequate data protection standards.

When data is transferred outside Canada, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place through contractual protections and adherence to international data transfer frameworks.
