Privacy notice
Effective 2026-07-26. This explains what Pip collects and what you can do about it.
What we collect
- If you join the waitlist: your email address.
- If you request a ticker: the ticker symbol you asked for, and your email address so we can tell you when it's covered.
- If you use the bot: your Telegram chat ID and handle, the stocks you own, the reasons ("why") you gave for each, your risk preference, and logs of your interactions with Pip.
- Basic analytics: standard usage analytics; on the waitlist form we record only your email domain, not the address.
How we use it
To generate your briefings, to operate and improve Pip, and to contact you about the beta. We do not sell your data.
Who receives your data
Running Pip means some of your data passes through providers we use:
- Netlify — hosting, and the two forms on this site: the waitlist and the request-a-ticker queue (it holds what you submit to them).
- Google Analytics — usage analytics.
- Telegram — delivering your briefings; it handles your chat ID and the message itself.
- Google (Gemini) — writes the wording of your briefing. It receives the stock, the reason you gave for holding it, and the evidence Pip gathered. It is not given your name, your Telegram handle, or your chat ID — the text it writes is assembled with your identity kept out of it.
Where Pip reads from
To find out what happened to a company, Pip queries public and licensed data sources: SEC EDGAR for filings, plus market-data and news providers for prices and coverage.
These sources receive nothing about you. Pip asks them about a ticker symbol — never your name, your chat ID, your email, or the reason you gave for holding anything. They cannot tell that a question came from you, or that anyone owns the stock at all.
We change these providers from time to time as licensing and quality require. Because they never receive your personal data, a change to them does not change what happens to your information.
Where it's stored and how it's protected
Your bot data is stored on a private, access-controlled machine with encrypted backups. We keep it only while your account is active. Waitlist emails are kept until you ask us to remove yours, or until the beta invitation process is finished. Ticker requests are kept until we've told you the ticker is covered, or until you ask us to remove yours.
Your rights
You can ask to access, correct, or delete your data. Under Israel's Privacy Protection Law and comparable rules (e.g. the GDPR), these rights apply to you.
- Bot data: send /delete in Telegram. This erases your profile and everything derived from it.
- The waitlist or a ticker request: email hello@pipthebot.com and we'll remove your address. /delete in Telegram does not reach either of them — they are stored separately from the bot, so please say which ones you want removed.
See How to cancel.
International transfer
Pip is operated from Israel and uses US-based providers, so your data may be processed in those countries.
Children
Pip is not for anyone under 18, and we don't knowingly collect their data.
Changes and contact
We may update this notice; we'll post it here with a new effective date. Questions: hello@pipthebot.com.
