WealthBoard: Dividend Tracker
WealthBoard Privacy Policy
1. Introduction
Welcome to WealthBoard ("we", "us", or "our"). We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting the personal information you share with us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your data when you use the WealthBoard mobile application.
2. Information We Collect
Account Information: When you register, we collect your email address and a securely hashed password via Firebase Authentication. If you choose to sign in with Google, we receive the email address and basic profile information associated with that Google account. Creating an account is optional — WealthBoard can be used without one.
Portfolio Data: Holdings, transactions, dividends, and watchlists you enter are stored locally on your device and, if Cloud Sync is enabled, in your private Firebase Firestore collection.
Market Data: WealthBoard fetches publicly available quotes, charts, dividend records and news headlines from public market data sources. Only the ticker symbols you are viewing or hold are sent. No personally identifiable information is included in these requests, and nothing about your position sizes, cost basis or totals ever leaves the device with them.
Bug Reports: If you submit a bug report or contact support, we collect the message you write, your account email, and the timestamp of submission. This information is used solely to respond to and resolve your report.
Subscriptions: WealthBoard Premium is purchased and billed entirely through the Apple App Store or Google Play. Those stores process your payment and tell the app only whether a subscription is currently active. We never receive or store your payment card, billing address, or any other payment details.
Advertising Data: WealthBoard does not show banner or full-screen ads. If you use the free version, you can choose to watch a short rewarded video ad to temporarily unlock a Premium feature. Only when such an ad is loaded or shown, our advertising partner Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) and the ad networks it works with may collect your device's advertising identifier (on Android, the Google Advertising ID), IP address, device model, operating system, language, and how you interact with the ad. On iOS, WealthBoard does not request App Tracking Transparency permission, so your device's advertising identifier (IDFA) is not accessed. Your portfolio, transactions, account details and other financial information are never shared with advertising partners. Premium subscribers are not shown ads.
Usage Data: We do not collect analytics, crash logs, or any telemetry beyond what Firebase provides by default (see Firebase's own privacy policy).
3. How We Use Your Information
- To provide and maintain the app's core portfolio tracking features.
- To sync your data across devices when Cloud Sync is enabled.
- To respond to bug reports and support requests you submit.
- To determine whether your Premium subscription is active.
- To show optional rewarded ads to free users who choose to watch one, and to confirm the ad was completed so the feature can be unlocked.
- To improve the app based on aggregated, non-identifiable usage patterns.
4. Data Storage & Security
All cloud data (portfolio, sync, bug reports) is stored in Google Firebase (Firestore and Authentication), which is protected by Google's security infrastructure. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Your Firestore data is scoped to your own user account — other users cannot access it.
On iOS: data entered on-device only is written to a private file in the app's own container, protected by iOS app sandboxing and file-level data protection. If you enable the App Lock feature, additional Face ID, Touch ID or PIN protection is applied; a PIN is stored only as a hash in the device keychain, marked so it never travels to a backup or another device.
On Android: data entered on-device only is stored in a local Room (SQLite) database protected by the Android security model. If you enable the App Lock feature, additional biometric or PIN protection is applied.
5. Data Sharing
We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We do not share your portfolio data with any external service except:
- Google Firebase (for authentication and cloud sync, as described above).
- Public market data sources (only your requested ticker symbols are sent; no personally identifiable information is included).
- Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) and its partner ad networks, which receive only the device and advertising data described under "Advertising Data" above, and only when a free user loads or watches a rewarded ad. No portfolio or account data is sent.
6. Data Retention
Your account and cloud data are retained for as long as your account exists. If you delete your account from within the app, your Firestore data will be permanently deleted within 30 days. Local on-device data is removed when you uninstall the app.
7. Your Rights
You have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Request correction of inaccurate data.
- Delete your account and all associated cloud data, from within the app (Menu → My Account → Delete account), or by request.
- Export your portfolio data, as a backup file from Backup & Restore or as a PDF from the Reports screen.
To exercise any of these rights, use the in-app "Contact Support" feature or email tristandavid20@gmail.com.
8. Children's Privacy
WealthBoard is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it promptly.
9. Third-Party Services
WealthBoard uses the following third-party services, each with their own privacy policies:
- Google Firebase (Authentication, Firestore): firebase.google.com/support/privacy
- Apple App Store / Google Play billing, for subscriptions.
- Third-party market data API (quotes, charts, symbol search): no account required.
- dividendhistory.org (dividend dates and amounts): public data, no account required.
- Publisher news feeds (headlines): public RSS, no account required.
- Unity LevelPlay (ironSource) and Unity Ads, for optional rewarded ads in the free version: unity.com/legal/game-player-and-app-user-privacy-policy
Advertising choices: Ads are only shown when you choose to watch one, and never to Premium subscribers. On Android you can reset or delete your advertising ID, or opt out of ad personalization, in Settings → Google → Ads (or Settings → Privacy → Ads, depending on your device). On iOS, you can manage ad personalization in Settings → Privacy & Security. The ad networks' own data practices are described in Unity's privacy policy linked above.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top and, for material changes, notify you in-app. Continued use of WealthBoard after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
11. Contact Us
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, contact us through the in-app "Contact Support" option found in the Menu, or email tristandavid20@gmail.com. We aim to respond to all inquiries within 48 hours.
