Effective date: August 27, 2026
Overview
RockBot Research is published by Ready to Rock Stocks LLC. It is local-first and does not require a Ready to Rock Stocks account or brokerage connection.
Information stored on the device
The app stores a watchlist of up to 20 symbols, preferences, disclaimer state, the saved contract evaluation, up to 420 validated daily bars per cached symbol, SEC and pattern evidence, up to 100 research records, source-health history, reviewed-filing identifiers, and notification settings locally on the Android device. Local information can be cleared in the app, through Android storage settings, or by uninstalling.
Network requests
When a user requests research, the selected ticker and ordinary HTTPS connection metadata may be processed by the Ready to Rock Stocks Market Gateway, its hosting infrastructure, upstream market-data services, and network providers as needed to supply market history. For SEC research, the app resolves the selected ticker to a public SEC CIK on the device and requests public submissions and ownership XML from official SEC hosts. These providers may process the requested path and ordinary connection metadata and may retain security or access logs under their own practices.
If SEC filing notices are enabled, Android periodically performs similar checks in the background for up to 10 selected symbols after a fresh Google Play access check; Android may defer the work. The first successful check establishes a baseline and sends no filing notice.
Options Contract Analysis does not contact an options provider. Its ticker may still be used for the market-history and SEC requests needed for the evaluation.
Market data sources and attribution
Daily market history is requested through the Ready to Rock Stocks Market Gateway. The gateway ordinarily returns HF Data Library history and may return a direct IEX Historical Data fallback when configured and an eligible primary failure occurs. Source Health identifies the returned source and relevant fallback context.
The app can reuse validated market history from memory for 15 minutes and from persistent device storage for six hours. Previously validated last-known-good history may remain available after a failed refresh, together with its stored source and as-of context.
Daily market history may include data from Ahmed Elkassabgi’s HF Data Library: High-Frequency U.S. Equity Data (1-Minute OHLCV), version 1.0 (2026), licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International. The gateway requests clean daily Parquet. RockBot validates the data, retains at most the newest 420 valid bars, and derives displayed research locally. These are selection and processing modifications.
HF Data Library states that bars dated March 7, 2022 onward derive from IEX market data.
Data provided for free by IEX. By accessing or using IEX Historical Data, you agree to the IEX Historical Data Terms of Use.
That IEX attribution and the limits below apply both to HF Data Library bars dated March 7, 2022 onward that HF identifies as IEX-derived and to the direct IEX fallback. IEX data reflects activity on the IEX Exchange only—not the consolidated U.S. market—and is a reference point rather than a complete market view. Direct fallback history is normally T+1 after a completed IEX session. RockBot uses close values as returned by the gateway and does not construct a separate adjusted-price series. Coverage, prices, volume, timing, and corporate-action handling can differ across sources. Unsupported symbols, authorization failures, malformed data, and missing required provenance fail closed. Source attribution identifies providers and does not imply endorsement by HF Data Library, IEX, the SEC, or Google.
Google Play subscriptions
RockBot uses Google Play Billing responses on the device to determine access. Google handles checkout and payment credentials and may process purchase, account, device, network, and diagnostic information under its own policies. The app may receive a purchase token to acknowledge the transaction to Google Play, but does not store it in RockBot research records or send it to a Ready to Rock Stocks server. Ready to Rock Stocks does not receive full card or bank details.
When offered, the active research workflows require an active Google Play trial, subscription, or applicable grace-period entitlement. Methodology, privacy, terms, and disclosures remain accessible without purchase. The exact localized price, billing period, trial eligibility, and renewal terms shown by Google Play before confirmation control.
Permissions and third parties
The app uses Internet and network-state access. Notification permission is used for optional SEC filing notices, and reboot completion can restore a notice schedule previously enabled by the user. RockBot does not request contacts, precise location, camera, microphone, external storage, an advertising identifier, brokerage credentials, or payment-card information.
Security, retention, and deletion
The app uses HTTPS for the network requests described above. RockBot research records are stored locally on the Android device, and Android backup and device transfer are disabled for RockBot app data. Local records remain on the device unless they are cleared in the app, through Android storage settings, or by uninstalling. Market-data, SEC, hosting, Google Play, Cloudflare, and network providers may retain request or security information under their own policies. Support communications are used to respond to the inquiry and maintain appropriate business records.
Advertising, analytics, and sharing
Ready to Rock Stocks does not sell personal information or use it for cross-app behavioral advertising. The current app does not include a publisher-operated advertising or behavioral-analytics SDK. Android and Google support components may process technical information needed for billing, security, compatibility, and app delivery. A share action sends selected content only after the user chooses a destination through Android’s share sheet.
Website and support communications
This website is delivered through Cloudflare, which may process ordinary request and security-log data under its policies. If you email support, Ready to Rock Stocks receives the address, message, and attachments you choose to send and uses them to respond to the inquiry and maintain appropriate business records.
Children
RockBot Research is intended for adults age 18 and older and is not directed to children.
