Privacy Policy
fintech.pocketcomputer.net

Effective Date: May 21, 2026

At fintech.pocketcomputer.net (a subdomain of the PocketComputer.net ecosystem), we prioritize privacy, digital sovereignty, and minimal data collection. We build tools and services for users who value independence from surveillance-heavy platforms. This Privacy Policy explains our practices in clear terms.

1. Our Philosophy

We collect the absolute minimum personal information necessary to provide our services. We do not sell your data. We do not build advertising profiles. We design systems to reduce third-party tracking and encourage user control over their information. Privacy is foundational—not a feature.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect:

  • Account Information: Email address, username, and hashed password (or preferred authentication method) when you subscribe or create an account. For fintech features, we may require verified payment details processed through secure third-party providers.
  • Usage Data: Basic technical information such as IP address (temporarily for security and abuse prevention), browser type, device info, and access timestamps. We aim to anonymize or minimize logging where possible.
  • Financial & Transaction Data: When using fintech tools (e.g., payments, subscriptions, transfers), we process necessary details via integrated secure processors. We do not store sensitive card numbers on our servers where avoidable (tokenization preferred).
  • Communications: Emails or messages you send to us for support or inquiries.
  • Content You Provide: Posts, documents, or data you upload/store on the platform (end-to-end encrypted where technically feasible).

We do not collect:

  • Precise geolocation without explicit consent.
  • Biometric data.
  • Unnecessary behavioral profiling for advertising.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To provide, maintain, and improve our services (including fintech functionalities like payments, budgeting tools, or subscription management).
  • For security, fraud prevention, and abuse detection.
  • To communicate important updates, billing, or support responses.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

4. Sharing and Disclosure

We share information only in limited cases:

  • With service providers (e.g., secure payment processors, hosting providers) under strict data processing agreements that enforce privacy standards.
  • For legal reasons (court orders, subpoenas) or to protect rights, safety, and property.
  • In the event of a business transfer (merger, acquisition), with appropriate safeguards.

We do not sell personal data to third parties for marketing.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-appropriate safeguards:

  • Encryption in transit and (where practical) at rest.
  • Access controls and regular security reviews.
  • Preference for privacy-enhancing technologies (e.g., minimized logging, onion routing/VPN encouragement, local processing).

No system is 100% secure. You are responsible for strong, unique credentials and enabling available security features (e.g., 2FA).

6. Your Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

  • Access, correct, or delete your personal data.
  • Object to or restrict processing.
  • Data portability.
  • Withdraw consent where applicable.

To exercise these rights, contact us at the details below. We respond promptly and verify identity before action. For subscribers, account self-service tools may be available.

Note: Deleting your account may not instantly remove all backups or transaction records required for legal/financial compliance.

7. Cookies and Tracking

We use essential cookies for functionality (login sessions, preferences). We minimize analytics and avoid non-essential tracking cookies. You can manage cookies via your browser settings. We do not participate in cross-site tracking for advertising.

8. International Transfers

PocketComputer.net operates with a global, sovereignty-focused mindset. Data may be processed in jurisdictions with strong privacy protections. We use appropriate safeguards (e.g., contracts, encryption) for transfers.

9. Children’s Privacy

Our services are not directed at children under 18 (or the applicable age of majority). We do not knowingly collect data from minors.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. We will post the revised version with a new effective date and notify active users where appropriate.

11. Contact Us
