Privacy policy

Information Fourthwise currently collects

Fourthwise uses first-party product telemetry with pseudonymous anonymous and session identifiers to understand product usage. Current telemetry may include product surface, feature usage, platform and coarse device category, timestamps, bounded acquisition information, and optional coarse country or region information when a trusted server-side source is available.

The telemetry contract excludes raw IP addresses, advertising identifiers, device or browser fingerprints, user-agent strings, names, email addresses, phone numbers, credentials, precise location, free-form text, and exact URLs.

Feedback & support information

When a user sends feedback, Fourthwise stores the submitted category and message and may store the current page, app version, and an email address only when the user chooses to provide one. Feedback abuse protection uses a keyed one-way digest of the request source for bounded rate limiting; the Admin Feedback Inbox does not expose the underlying source address.

Advertising privacy

Advertising eligibility and personalization are controlled through Fourthwise's provider-neutral privacy state. Where a privacy choice is required, unresolved consent remains fail-closed for advertising and changing that choice does not block access to core product features.

Fourthwise applies privacy controls appropriate to the features currently offered. If additional advertising or personalization choices are introduced, this policy and the available controls will be updated accordingly.

Data retention & policy changes

Fourthwise retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including operating and improving the service, maintaining security, preventing abuse, and meeting applicable legal requirements.

This policy may be updated when Fourthwise's data practices or product features materially change. The current version published here applies to the product as offered.
