What information does AutoTrader Web app collects?
This app is built only for Stocks Developer customers. The users need automated login into their broker account. This automation happens on our “server side”. But this login automation process involves an OTP which comes on user’s mobile. Our app reads SMS data from your phone & uploads only relevant SMS to our website “Stocks Developer” [https://apix.stocksdeveloper.in]. Our server then extracts the OTP from the SMS content & it is used for performing broker automated login. This SMS data is discarded immediately after the login is complete. The SMS data is never persisted on any kind of permanent storage. The SMS data is not shared with any other third-party. The SMS data is NOT accessible to our support staff as well.
We only send SMS to the server if the SMS has come from the sender who sends OTP for broker login. This makes sure that all other SMSs of users which are from other senders that we are not interested in are never sent to the server. This helps protect user’s privacy as we are only uploading messages (SMS) from senders that we need for our automation purpose.
An SMS will only be uploaded to the server “if & only if” it has come from following senders:
- UPSTOX
- ANGONE
- FVASIA
- FFYERS
- IILLTD
- KOTAKS
- MOSTPS
Along with the SMS information the app also sends broker information like (broker name, login id, phone no) which is “entered by the user in the application screen.” The app DOES NOT read phone number via sim card.
The app runs a foreground service, so that it is notified when a new SMS is received.
How we use this information we collect?
Users need to automate their broker login on our server side. The automation process requires OTP which comes to the user’s phone. The app uploads only relevant SMS to our server. Our server then extracts the OTP from the SMS content & it is used for performing broker automated login. The information like (broker name, login id, phone no) is used by the app to understand which broker account does the OTP belongs to.
We confirm that the information taken in “only” use for automated broker login & “not used for any other purpose.”
How long do we keep your information?
Our system keeps your SMS information only during the login process which can take anywhere between 2 to 5 seconds. After this the data is deleted from memory. The data is only kept in servers memory (RAM). It is not saved on any kind of permanent storage like (files, disk or database).
The additional information like (broker name, login id, phone no) which is provided by the user in the app is persisted on his phone in files. User has an option within the app to delete this information.
Whom do we share information with?
The information is “NOT” shared with anyone. We do not share information with any third-party. Even our support staff does not have access to it, as there is no front-end view provided to access this data.
What about the “security” of the information?
The information travels to our website from your phone via a HTTPS/SSL connection. The data is never persisted on a permanent storage.
This link [https://stocksdeveloper.in/security-concerns/] documents security details of all the data that user saves “directly on our website” (not via the mobile app). This is just for additional information.
User rights
Only the relevant SMS data taken from your phone & it is never persisted on a permanent storage. It only stays within our server’s RAM for a 2 to 5 seconds until the login is complete. After that, it is immediately destroyed. If a user is no longer associated with our website, then his data is immediately ignored and deleted.
The additional information like (broker name, login id, phone no) which is provided by the user in the app is persisted on his phone in files. User has an option within the app to delete this information.
Any other information which the user “directly adds on our website (not taken from phone),” we do provide user an option to delete it on our website.
Updates to our policy
We may update or amend our privacy policy. This will most likely be needed if a new broker is added in the system. In that case, we need to add broker name in the app code to filter the SMS from that broker.
We will provide notice of amendments on your email, our whatsapp/telegram channels & in the app as well. We will release a new version of the app mentioning the changes made in policy. In case you do not agree to the amendments, kindly uninstall the app. Please review our privacy policy from time to time.
