DATA PROTECTION & LEGAL TRANSPARENCY

Privacy Policy, Terms of Use & Account Deletion.

ORCA is committed to protecting your personal data, operating with editorial transparency, and giving you full control over your account across Android, iOS, and Web.

Last updated: November 2026 · Applicable to ORCA (com.orcanews.app) and orcanews.app
01 — DATA WE COLLECT

Minimal data for a personalized experience.

When you create an ORCA account, we collect your full name, email address, username, birth date, preferred language (EN, PT, or RU), and optional region/referral code. Within the app, we store your reading preferences, watchlist, educational simulator portfolio, course progress, and community comments.

02 — PURPOSE & SECURITY

Encrypted storage & zero data selling.

Your data is used strictly to authenticate your session, deliver regional news and analyst coverage, and synchronize your learning progress. Passwords are hashed with BCrypt, tokens are stored in hardware-backed SecureStore on Android, and all traffic is encrypted via HTTPS/TLS. ORCA never sells personal data to third parties.

03 — FINANCIAL & EDUCATIONAL DISCLAIMER

Informational content & virtual simulator.

All news, market analyses, and Reels published on ORCA are strictly for informational and educational purposes and do not constitute personalized investment advice. The Market Simulator (US$ 100,000 virtual balance) uses virtual funds strictly for educational practice with no real monetary value, deposits, or brokerage execution.

04 — ADVERTISING & AGE

Ads in the app and minimum age.

ORCA is free and may show ads served by Yandex Mobile Ads. To select and measure ads, the ad provider may use your device advertising ID, approximate location derived from your IP address, and device/app diagnostics. You can reset or opt out of personalized ads at any time in Android Settings > Privacy > Ads. ORCA does not sell your personal data. ORCA is intended for people aged 18 or over; accounts of people under 18 are not allowed.
