1. Overview

Noodles Research FZ-LLC ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy describes how we collect, use, and safeguard information when you use our services: the Terminal (terminal.noodlesresearch.com), Intelligence Feed (feed.noodlesresearch.com), and Press (noodlesresearch.com/press).

2. Information We Collect

Account Information: When you create a Terminal account, we collect your email address and encrypted password. We do not store plaintext passwords.

Payment Information: Subscription payments are processed by our third-party payment provider. We do not store credit card numbers, bank account details, or other payment credentials on our servers.

Usage Data: We collect anonymous, aggregated usage data including page views, feature usage patterns, and session duration to improve our services. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

Server Logs: Our servers automatically record request metadata including IP addresses, browser type, and timestamps. These logs are retained for security purposes and automatically purged after 90 days.

3. How We Use Information

• To provide and maintain Terminal access and subscription management
• To send service-critical communications (password resets, subscription status, security alerts)
• To improve platform performance and user experience
• To detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and unauthorized access

5. Cookies

We use minimal, essential cookies only:
