4. Data Processing and International Transfers

QuantNote operates its core infrastructure, including servers and databases, in the Province of Ontario, Canada. If you are accessing the Service from the United States or any other region outside of Canada, please be aware that your personal information, virtual portfolio data, and usage metrics will be transferred to, processed, and stored in Canada. By using the Service and submitting your information, you explicitly consent to this cross-border transfer and acknowledge that your data is subject to Canadian privacy laws.

  • Cloud hosting and secure database infrastructure providers.
  • Financial data APIs (to fetch real-time and historical stock metrics).
  • AI infrastructure providers (to process and synthesize market data).

6. Cookies and Local Storage

To function effectively as a Progressive Web Application, we utilize cookies, local storage, and session storage. These technologies are strictly necessary to keep you logged in, save your local preferences, and ensure the Service functions smoothly under limited network conditions.

7. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit (HTTPS/TLS) and encrypted database protocols, to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, or destruction. However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
