2. How We Use Your Information
Your data is processed strictly for the following operational objectives:
- To synchronize orderbook data and calculate multi-exchange spreads in real time.
- To dispatch requested price spread notifications to user-configured browser sessions.

- We NEVER sell, rent, monetize, or disclose personal data to third parties or advertising data brokers.
3. Cryptographic Security Standards
We deploy bank-grade cryptographic security measures to safeguard user information:
- All data in transit is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.3 / SSL).
- Configurations and terminal tokens are encrypted at rest with strict hardware-level access controls.
- Passwords are hashed with PBKDF2-HMAC-SHA256 utilizing unique cryptographic salts.
