OpenQuant System Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy details how OpenQuant LLC safeguards pilot identities, handles authentication tokens, and manages market telemetry while maintaining zero commercial data monetization.

Information We Collect & Purpose

OpenQuant LLC ("OpenQuant") collects minimal account telemetry strictly required to operate our simulated paper-trading arena and RLHF model fine-tuning loops:

  • Account Identifiers: Email address and unique username selected during registration to create your pilot identity.
  • Simulated Trading Telemetry: Paper trade executions, portfolio positions, yield history, and arena leaderboard ranks logged into our analytics database.
  • Session Tokens: Secure OAuth JWT tokens stored locally in browser session storage (`localStorage`) to maintain your authenticated terminal state.
SECTION 02

Data Security & Password Hashing

We enforce rigorous cryptographic standards across our infrastructure:

ZERO RAW PASSWORDS: OpenQuant never stores plain-text passwords. All authentication credentials are encrypted using industry-standard salted hashing via Firebase Identity Management.
