**Entity:** Sentinel Alpha LLC
## 1. Introduction
Sentinel Alpha LLC ("we", "us", "our") operates sentinelalpha.net, the
Sentinel Alpha mobile app, and a members' Discord community, providing
real-time trading signals and related educational content. This Privacy
Policy describes how we collect, use, and protect your information when you
use our service.
## 2. What We Collect
**Account information:** email address, name (optional), Discord handle (if
you join the community), and country of residence (for tax purposes). Sign-in
is passwordless — we verify a one-time code sent to the email tied to your
Whop membership.
**Payment information:** subscriptions and checkout are handled entirely by
Whop, our commerce platform. We store only your Whop membership ID and
subscription tier. We never receive or store your card details, CVV, or full
billing address.
**Mobile app:** if you use the Sentinel Alpha iOS or Android app, we also
collect a device push-notification token (to deliver signal alerts) and basic
device information (device model, OS version, app version). Your trade journal
is stored only on your device — it is never transmitted to or stored by us.
**Usage information:** we track basic site analytics (page views, referrer)
via Plausible Analytics (privacy-friendly, no cookies, no personal data).
**Communication:** if you contact us at alex@sentinelalpha.net, we retain
the email content for support purposes.
**We do NOT collect:** your broker account info, brokerage credentials,
trading positions, account balances, or trade execution details.
