Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026

Option Chain Live is built with privacy as a core principle. This page explains, in plain language, what happens with your information when you use the Service.

1. What we collect

We collect the minimum information needed to operate the Service:

• Standard web logs — like every website, our server briefly records technical request information such as approximate location and browser type. Used only to keep the site working and prevent abuse.
• Anonymous usage data — we count page views to understand which features are used. No personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking.
• Local browser storage — preferences like dark mode and your last-viewed ticker are stored in your browser. This data never leaves your device.

2. What we don't do

• We do not sell your data.
• We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies.
• We do not require an account or collect names, emails, or phone numbers.
• We do not track you across other websites.
• We do not build advertising profiles.

3. Cookies

Option Chain Live does not use cookies for tracking or advertising. Your browser may store small amounts of preference data locally so the site remembers your settings between visits.

4. Market data

Stock prices, options chains, and related market data are provided by Alpaca Markets and other third-party market data providers. This data is used to populate the option chains and is subject to their terms. Market data may be delayed.

5. Your rights

If you are in the EU, UK, or California, you have the right to:

• Know what data is collected about you
• Request deletion of your data
• Object to or restrict processing
• Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority

Because we collect minimal personal data, most requests can be fulfilled by clearing your browser's local storage. For anything else, please reach out via our public contact channels.

6. Data retention

• Server logs: retained for a short period for security and operations
• Anonymous analytics: aggregated, no individual user records
• Local browser storage: stays until you clear it manually

7. Children

Option Chain Live is not directed to children under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top of this page will reflect any changes.

9. Contact
