FluxGate Ventures LLC ("FluxGateAI", "Caliper Trading", "we", "us", or "our"), a limited liability company registered in the State of Washington, operates the website at calipertrading.com and related products, applications, and services (collectively, the "Services"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and share information when you use the Services. By using the Services, you acknowledge that you have read and agree to this Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy should be read together with our Terms of Service.

Information we collect

Information you provide directly

When you use the Services, you may provide us with personal information including:

Your email address and account credentials (managed by Clerk, our authentication provider)
Documents, files, images, and other materials you upload or submit through the Services
Chat messages, backtest configurations, and research data you submit through the Services
Documents, files, and other materials generated through the Services
Preferences, settings, and feedback
Any other information you choose to upload or submit

Automatically collected information

When you visit the site, our servers may automatically log standard technical information such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps.

We also run our own analytics. The site stores a random visitor identifier in your browser's local storage and a session identifier for the current tab, and sends page views and interactions to our servers together with device type, browser, operating system, screen and viewport size, language, and time zone. When you are signed in, this activity is linked to your account.

When a request to our servers fails, we keep the full request as it arrived, including any content it carried, minus credentials, together with the browser's report of the failure and the identifiers described above. We may replay a stored session to reproduce a problem. We may review any stored content, including chat transcripts and results, to operate, secure, and improve the Services.

Billing information

Payments are processed by Stripe. We do not store credit card numbers or payment credentials. A ledger of credit purchases and usage charges associated with your account is maintained for proper accounting.

Information we do not collect

The Services are not designed to collect consumer health data as defined by the Washington My Health My Data Act (RCW 19.373) or similar health privacy statutes. You should not submit health-related information through the Services. See our Terms of Service for more details.

How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the purposes described in this policy and our Terms of Service, including:

Providing, maintaining, and improving the Services
Developing, training, testing, and evaluating artificial intelligence models, algorithms, and systems
Conducting internal research and development
Generating aggregate, anonymized, or de-identified datasets
Building new products, features, or services
Communicating about the Services or related offerings
Complying with legal obligations

Sharing and sale of your information

We may share your information, including content you submit, with third parties in the following circumstances:

Service providers: information may be shared with third-party vendors assisting in the operation of the Services, subject to confidentiality obligations. Authentication is provided by Clerk and payments by Stripe. Beyond those, AI model providers receive the content of your chats and research in order to generate responses; cloud infrastructure, storage, and compute providers host the Services, store your data, and run backtests; financial and economic data vendors receive the parameters of the data requests your research generates; an email delivery provider receives your email address; and web analytics and font delivery providers receive standard technical information about your visit.
AI and research partners: anonymized or aggregated data may be shared with research collaborators for AI development.
Advertising and commercial partners: we may share your information with third parties, including advertisers, in exchange for compensation or other valuable consideration. This may constitute a "sale" or "sharing" of personal information under applicable privacy laws (see "Your opt-out rights" below).
Legal requirements: information may be disclosed when required by law or to protect our legal rights.
Business transfers: in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales, your information may be transferred as a business asset.

Notice of financial incentive

Certain features of the Services are provided to you at no monetary cost. In exchange, you consent to our collection, use, and sharing of your personal information as described in this policy and our Terms of Service, including the retention and use of chat transcripts and research data. This constitutes a "financial incentive" program under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA).

What you receive: access to the Services, including complimentary account credits, AI-powered research tools, and related features at no charge.

What we receive: the ability to use, analyze, and share your personal information and User Content as described in this policy and our Terms of Service, including sharing with third parties where we may receive compensation.

Value estimation: we estimate the value of your data based on reasonable costs of providing the Services, including infrastructure, AI model usage, and operational expenses. The value of the financial incentive is reasonably related to the value of your data to our business.

Opt-in and withdrawal: by creating an account or using the Services, you opt into this program. You may withdraw from the program at any time by contacting legal@fluxgate.ai with the subject line "Withdraw from Financial Incentive Program." Because the free Services are provided in exchange for your participation in this program, withdrawing will result in the termination of your access to the affected Services.

Your opt-out rights (Do Not Sell or Share)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA) and similar state laws, you may have the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of your personal information. You can exercise this right by submitting a written request to legal@fluxgate.ai with the subject line "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information".

If you opt out, we will cease sharing your personal information with third parties for compensation. Because the free Services are offered as a financial incentive for data sharing participation, opting out may result in the termination of your access to the affected Services. This does not affect sharing necessary to provide the Services, de-identified or aggregated data sharing, or legally required disclosures.

Data retention

We retain information as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy and our Terms of Service, subject to applicable law. Chat transcripts, backtest configurations, results, generated documents, analytics events, error reports, and server logs are stored on our servers and are never deleted. We reserve the right to access this data for any reason.

Data deletion

You may close your account from the account menu. Closing your account ends your ability to sign in. The account record, its credit ledger, and the content stored under it are retained as described under "Data retention", so that any refund owed under our Terms of Service can be determined. Records held by our payment processor are unaffected.

You may also request deletion of your identifiable personal information by submitting a written request to legal@fluxgate.ai. Your request must include your full name, the email address associated with your use of the Services, and a specific description of the data you are requesting to be deleted. Incomplete requests may not be processed until the required information is provided.

We will use commercially reasonable efforts to process complete deletion requests within ninety (90) days. Deletion applies to identifiable personal information held directly by Caliper Trading only. Server logs, system metadata, anonymized or de-identified data, and derived outputs (such as model weights and aggregated datasets) are not subject to deletion. Data already shared with third parties prior to your deletion request or during the ninety (90) day processing period is not covered. We are not responsible for and have no obligation to delete data held by third parties. For full details, see our Terms of Service.

Cookies and tracking

We use a third-party web analytics service to understand how visitors interact with the site. It uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about your use of the site, including pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs, and processes that data under its own privacy policy. Most browsers and privacy extensions can block these cookies.

Our own analytics, described under "Automatically collected information", store a visitor identifier in local storage and a session identifier in session storage. The site also sets a cookie for the light/dark theme preference. When you sign in, Clerk sets session cookies to maintain authentication. There are no advertising cookies.

Additional cookies or tracking technologies may be introduced in the future, at which point this policy will be updated.

Do Not Track

Some browsers offer a "Do Not Track" (DNT) setting or transmit a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. The site does not currently respond to either signal. To opt out, use the written request described under "Your opt-out rights". For questions about tracking or opt-out signals, contact us at legal@fluxgate.ai.

Security

We take the security of your information seriously and use industry-standard technical and organizational safeguards to protect it. While we make every effort to keep your data safe, no system is perfectly secure, and we continuously review and improve our practices.

Age requirement

The Services are intended for users who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that information has been collected from someone under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly.

Your rights under applicable law

Depending on your state of residence, you may have additional rights regarding your personal information under applicable law, including the Washington Consumer Protection Act (RCW 19.86) and other state consumer protection and privacy statutes. Nothing in this Privacy Policy or our Terms of Service is intended to limit any rights that cannot be waived by contract under applicable law.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy at any time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised effective date. Your continued use of the Services after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
