Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 18, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Macrotome ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website and dashboard (the "Service"). We are committed to handling your data responsibly and in compliance with applicable privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Australian Privacy Act 1988, where applicable.

2. Information We Collect

Account information: email address, and any name you provide when creating an account.

Payment information: none is collected during the 7-day free trial — no card is requested to start it, so no payment data exists for us or anyone else to hold. If you later subscribe, the payment is processed by our merchant of record, Lemon Squeezy, LLC, which acts as the seller of record and handles billing, invoicing and applicable sales taxes. We do not directly collect or store your card details — Lemon Squeezy handles them under its own privacy policy and PCI-DSS compliance standards.

Usage data: we use Vercel Web Analytics to collect anonymized, aggregated information about page views, general geographic region, device type, and referral source. This data does not personally identify you and does not use tracking cookies.

Communications: if you contact us by email, we retain that correspondence to respond to your request.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to: provide and maintain the Service; process subscription payments; communicate with you about your account or support requests; improve the Service based on aggregated usage patterns; comply with legal obligations.

4. Third-Party Service Providers

We rely on the following third-party providers to operate Macrotome. Each processes data under their own privacy policies:

• Supabase — database hosting and authentication (data stored in Australia, ap-southeast-2 region)

• Vercel — website hosting and analytics

• Lemon Squeezy, LLC — merchant of record: payment processing, invoicing and sales tax. Engaged only if you subscribe; no data reaches them during the free trial.

• Resend — transactional email delivery

• Anthropic (Claude API) — AI-generated market analysis and report content

• TradingView — embedded live price charts on the Risk page. This content is not loaded unless you ask for it: the charts are replaced by a placeholder with a Load button, and TradingView's script — which may set its own cookies — is injected only when you click it. If you never click, no request is made to TradingView and no third-party cookie is set. Clicking is your explicit consent to load their content, which is then governed by TradingView's own privacy policy.

5. Data Retention

We retain account information for as long as your account is active. If you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal data within a reasonable timeframe, except where retention is required for legal, accounting, or fraud-prevention purposes.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to: access the personal data we hold about you; request correction of inaccurate data; request deletion of your data; object to or restrict certain processing; request a copy of your data in a portable format; withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at macrotomefx@gmail.com. We will respond within a reasonable timeframe, generally within 30 days.

7. Cookies

The Service uses minimal, privacy-friendly analytics (Vercel Web Analytics) that does not rely on tracking cookies or cross-site identifiers. We do not use third-party advertising cookies.

The one piece of third-party content that may set cookies is the TradingView chart embed on the Risk page, and it is never loaded until you click Load. See section 4.

8. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including encrypted connections (HTTPS), access controls, and reputable third-party infrastructure providers (Supabase, Vercel). However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

9. International Data Transfers

Our infrastructure is primarily hosted in Australia (Supabase ap-southeast-2). If you access the Service from outside Australia, your information may be transferred to and processed in Australia and other countries where our service providers operate (including the United States, for Lemon Squeezy, Resend, and Anthropic).

10. Children's Privacy

The Service is not directed to individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last updated" date above. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
