Security & Cookies

Our Commitment to Security

At Chart AI, security is built into every aspect of our service. We understand that you trust us with your data, and we take that responsibility seriously. Our security practices are designed to protect your information at every step.

1. Data Encryption

We use industry-standard encryption to protect your data:

In Transit

All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS 1.3 (Transport Layer Security). This ensures that your information cannot be intercepted or read by unauthorized parties during transmission.

At Rest

Sensitive data stored on our servers is encrypted using AES-256 encryption, one of the strongest encryption standards available. This includes account credentials and any personal information you provide.

2. Chart Image Handling

We take special care with the trading charts you upload for analysis:

• Temporary Processing: Uploaded chart images are processed in real-time and are not permanently stored on our servers
• Secure Transmission: Images are transmitted over encrypted connections directly to our AI analysis service
• No Third-Party Sharing: Your charts are only shared with our AI provider (OpenAI) for analysis purposes and are subject to their data processing agreements
• Automatic Deletion: Any temporary data is automatically purged after processing is complete

3. Authentication & Access Control

We implement robust authentication measures to protect your account:

• Secure Password Storage: Passwords are hashed using industry-standard algorithms and are never stored in plain text
• Session Management: Secure session tokens with automatic expiration to prevent unauthorized access
• Account Protection: Rate limiting and monitoring to detect and prevent unauthorized access attempts

4. Payment Security

Your payment information is handled with the highest level of security:

• PCI DSS Compliance: We use Stripe as our payment processor, which is fully PCI DSS compliant
• No Card Storage: We never store your credit card details on our servers - all payment data is handled directly by Stripe
• Secure Checkout: All payment transactions are processed through Stripe's secure payment infrastructure

5. Infrastructure Security

Our infrastructure is designed with security in mind:

• Secure Hosting: Our services are hosted on enterprise-grade infrastructure with multiple layers of security
• Regular Updates: We keep all systems and dependencies up to date with the latest security patches
• Monitoring: Continuous monitoring for suspicious activity and potential security threats
• Backup & Recovery: Regular backups and disaster recovery procedures to ensure data availability

6. Third-Party Services

We carefully select and monitor our third-party service providers:

OpenAI

We use OpenAI's API for AI-powered chart analysis. OpenAI maintains strict security standards and data processing agreements. Data sent to OpenAI for analysis is processed according to their enterprise security policies.

Stripe

Our payment processor, Stripe, is PCI DSS Level 1 certified - the highest level of certification in the payment card industry. They handle all payment data securely and in compliance with international standards.

7. Your Security Responsibilities

Security is a shared responsibility. Here are some best practices to keep your account secure:

• Use a strong, unique password for your Chart AI account
• Do not share your account credentials with others
• Log out of your account when using shared or public computers
• Keep your browser and operating system up to date
• Be cautious of phishing attempts - we will never ask for your password via email

8. Reporting Security Issues

We value the security research community and encourage responsible disclosure of any security vulnerabilities you may discover. If you believe you have found a security issue in our service, please report it to us immediately.

We take all security reports seriously and will respond promptly to investigate and address any valid concerns.
