Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy describes how Sharpe Labs Ltd ("we", "us", or "our") collects, uses, and handles data when you use Sharpe Terminal, Sharpe Search, our APIs, and related services at sharpe.ai (collectively, the "Service").

2. Data We Collect

The data we process depends on the features you use:

  • Account data: if you create or use an account, we process authentication identifiers, your email address, and profile information supplied by the authentication provider.
  • Research and support content: prompts, chat messages, uploaded files, feedback, votes, saved settings, and messages you send to us. Chats are private by default, but a chat you deliberately mark public can be accessible through its link.
  • API and product activity: features and endpoints used, request status, model selection, usage counts, timestamps, and technical diagnostics.
  • Device and network data: browser and device type, operating system, approximate location inferred by service providers, IP address, and security identifiers derived from IP addresses for abuse prevention.

3. How We Use Data

We use this data to provide accounts, persist and retrieve chats, generate research, operate uploads and APIs, enforce usage limits, prevent fraud and abuse, troubleshoot failures, measure product performance, communicate with you, and comply with legal obligations.

4. AI Research and Service Providers

To answer a Sharpe Search request, we may send the prompt, relevant chat context, uploaded content, and tool arguments to the selected AI model provider and connected research or market-data providers. We also use service providers for authentication, database hosting, file storage, application hosting, security, and error monitoring. These providers process data on our behalf or under their own applicable terms.

5. Analytics

Depending on deployment configuration, we use PostHog, Google Analytics, and Vercel Speed Insights to understand product usage and performance. PostHog autocapture and session recording are disabled; the Service sends defined product events instead. Sentry Replay is also disabled. Our defined event schema is configured to exclude Sharpe Search prompt, response, and uploaded-file content. The Service sanitizes query strings and fragments from known page-location, referrer, and tracing fields before sending telemetry, including Sharpe Search deep-link prompts. These providers may still process device, network, event, and error metadata under their own policies.

6. Cookies and Browser Storage

We use cookies or browser storage for authentication, security, session continuity, preferences, and analytics. You can block or remove them through your browser, but account, chat-history, theme, or other stateful features may stop working as expected.

7. Retention and Deletion

We retain data for as long as needed to provide and secure the Service, meet legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. Retention periods vary by data type and provider. Sharpe Search includes controls to delete individual chats or chat history. Deletion from active systems may not immediately remove data from backups, security logs, or records we must retain by law.

8. Your Choices and Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, object to, or receive a copy of personal data. You may also manage cookies and browser storage in your browser. Contact us to make a privacy request; we may need to verify your identity before completing it.

9. Security

We use technical and organizational safeguards intended to protect data. No Internet transmission, storage system, or security control can eliminate all risk.

10. Children

The Service is not intended for anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 18.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
