Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 12, 2025
At Analystx, we take your privacy seriously. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you use our investment calendar services. We're based in Canada and follow applicable Canadian privacy laws, including PIPEDA.
If you have questions about this policy or how we handle your data, reach out to us at contact@analystx.vip. We're here to help.
What Information We Collect
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with our platform. Some information you give us directly, while other data is collected automatically as you use our services.
Account Information
When you create an account, we collect your name, email address, and password. We might also ask for your phone number if you choose to enable two-factor authentication.
Usage Data
We track how you use our investment calendars—which events you view, filters you apply, and calendars you create. This helps us improve the platform and personalize your experience.
Technical Information
Your browser sends us technical details like IP address, device type, operating system, and browser version. We use this to ensure our platform works properly across different devices.
Communication Records
When you contact our support team or participate in surveys, we keep records of those interactions. This helps us resolve issues and improve our services.
How We Use Your Information
We're not in the business of selling your data. Everything we collect serves a specific purpose related to providing and improving our investment calendar services.
- Maintain and operate your account and personalized calendar settings
- Send you important updates about earnings dates, economic events, and dividend announcements
- Respond to your questions and provide customer support
- Improve our platform based on usage patterns and feedback
- Detect and prevent fraud or unauthorized access to accounts
- Comply with legal requirements and enforce our terms of service
- Analyze trends in how investors use calendar tools to build better features
Marketing Communications: We'll occasionally send you emails about new features or educational content related to investment tracking. You can opt out anytime by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email. We won't sell your email address to third parties.
Data Sharing and Third Parties
We share your information only when necessary to provide our services or when required by law. Here's who we might share data with and why:
Service Providers
We work with third-party companies that help us run our platform. These include cloud hosting providers, email delivery services, and payment processors. They only access the data needed to perform their specific functions and are bound by confidentiality agreements.
Financial Data Sources
To provide accurate calendar information, we integrate with financial data providers. We may share minimal information with them to authenticate your access, but we don't share your personal investment decisions or portfolio details.
Legal Requirements
Sometimes we're required to disclose information to comply with Canadian law, respond to court orders, or protect our rights and the safety of our users. We'll notify you if legally permitted before disclosing your information.
We don't sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers. Period. Our business model relies on subscription fees, not selling user data.

Data Security Measures
We use industry-standard security practices to protect your information from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. But let's be honest—no system is 100% secure. Here's what we do to keep your data safe:
- Encrypt all data in transit using TLS 1.3 protocol
- Store passwords using bcrypt hashing with individual salts
- Maintain encrypted backups in geographically distributed data centers
- Require two-factor authentication for team members accessing user data
- Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing
- Monitor systems for suspicious activity and potential breaches
- Limit employee access to personal data on a need-to-know basis
Your Responsibility: Use a strong, unique password for your Analystx account. Enable two-factor authentication if you're accessing sensitive financial data. Don't share your login credentials with anyone.
Data Retention and Deletion
We keep your information only as long as necessary to provide our services and comply with legal obligations. Different types of data have different retention periods:
| Data Type | Retention Period | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Account Information | Duration of account + 90 days | Service provision and account recovery |
| Calendar Data | Duration of account + 30 days | User access and service continuity |
| Usage Analytics | 24 months | Platform improvement and optimization |
| Support Communications | 36 months | Quality assurance and dispute resolution |
| Transaction Records | 7 years | Canadian financial record-keeping requirements |
| Security Logs | 12 months | Fraud prevention and security investigations |
When you delete your account, we remove or anonymize your personal information within 90 days. Some data may be retained in backup systems for an additional 30 days before permanent deletion. Financial records are kept longer to comply with Canadian tax and accounting regulations.

We use cookies and similar technologies to make our platform work properly and improve your experience. You can control most cookies through your browser settings, though some are essential for the site to function.
Types of Cookies We Use

International Data Transfers
Our servers are primarily located in Canada, but some of our service providers operate globally. When your information is transferred outside Canada, we ensure it receives an adequate level of protection through:
- Using service providers in countries with substantially similar privacy laws to Canada
- Implementing contractual safeguards through standard data protection clauses
- Ensuring any transferred data is encrypted both in transit and at rest
- Conducting due diligence on third-party security practices and certifications
If you're accessing our services from outside Canada, your information will be transferred to and processed in Canada. By using Analystx, you consent to this transfer and processing under Canadian privacy laws.
Changes to This Policy
We update this privacy policy occasionally to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make significant changes, we'll notify you via email or through a prominent notice on our platform at least 30 days before the changes take effect.
Minor changes or clarifications may be posted without prior notice. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top shows when we last revised it.
Continuing to use Analystx after policy changes means you accept the updated terms. If you disagree with any changes, you can close your account before they take effect.
Children's Privacy
Our services aren't designed for or directed at individuals under 18 years of age. We don't knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you're under 18, please don't create an account or submit any personal information to us.
If we discover we've inadvertently collected information from someone under 18, we'll delete it promptly. Parents or guardians who believe we may have information about a minor should contact us immediately at contact@analystx.vip.
