Privacy Policy

Summary

tickers.info ("the site") is a free, public-facing reference for stock-market data. The site does not require accounts, does not collect financial information, and does not sell personal data. It does use standard web analytics, embeds third-party widgets that load their own cookies, and serves advertising through Google AdSense. This page describes what that means in practice and what rights readers have.

Who is responsible

The data controller for personal information processed through tickers.info is the operator of tickers.info. Privacy and data-protection requests can be sent to privacy@tickers.info. The site is operated from [Jurisdiction].

Data collected automatically

When a browser loads a page on tickers.info, server logs and analytics tools record technical information that is standard for the modern web:

• IP address (truncated where supported by the analytics tool)
• Browser type, version and language
• Operating system and device class (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• The URL requested and the referring URL, if any
• Timestamp of the request and approximate geographic region
• Interaction events (page views, scroll depth, clicks on outbound links)

This information is used to understand aggregate traffic, identify broken pages and abuse patterns, and inform editorial decisions. It is not combined with personally identifying information from any other source.

Data you provide

tickers.info has no sign-up, no comments, no contact form and no user accounts. The only personal data the site receives directly from a reader is whatever they choose to put in an email to one of the site's published addresses. That message and the associated email address are stored in the email provider's inbox and used to reply to the inquiry.

Cookies and similar technologies

Cookies are small files set by a website or by something embedded in it. tickers.info uses three categories:

• Strictly necessary — needed to render pages and preserve basic preferences such as theme. These are first-party and cannot be turned off without breaking the site.
• Analytics — set by Google Analytics 4 to measure aggregate traffic. The site uses standard GA4 configuration with IP anonymisation where supported.
• Advertising — set by Google AdSense and its ad-tech partners to deliver and measure ads, and (where the reader has consented or is in a region where personalised ads are the default) to personalise them.

A more detailed breakdown lives on the dedicated cookie policy.

Advertising and Google AdSense

tickers.info displays advertising served by Google AdSense. Ads are clearly visually distinct from editorial content. The following standard disclosures apply:

• Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on tickers.info.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to readers based on their visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
• Readers may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings.
• Readers may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info (DAA), thenai.org (NAI), or YourOnlineChoices.eu (EDAA in Europe).

Google's own privacy policies are at policies.google.com/privacy, and its policies governing how partner sites and apps must handle data are at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.

Third-party widgets and vendors

The market-data, charting, news and calendar widgets on tickers.info are provided by TradingView, which loads its own scripts and may set its own cookies under its own privacy policy. The site also relies on the following classes of vendor:

• A web hosting / CDN provider for serving HTML, CSS, JS and assets.
• Google Fonts for typography.
• Google Analytics 4 for traffic measurement.
• Google AdSense for advertising.
• An email provider for handling inbound mail.

Each vendor processes only what is needed for its function and is bound by its own published terms.

Legal bases (GDPR)

For readers in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and other GDPR-aligned jurisdictions, the legal bases for processing are:

• Legitimate interests — for security logging, abuse prevention, and aggregate analytics that do not identify individuals.
• Consent — for non-essential cookies, including personalised advertising, where consent is required by local law. Consent is requested through a banner on first visit and can be changed at any time.
• Compliance with legal obligations — when required to retain or disclose data by law.

Your rights

Depending on where the reader is located, applicable laws (such as the EU/UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and similar US state laws) grant some or all of the following rights:

• The right to access the personal data the site holds about the reader.
• The right to correct inaccurate data.
• The right to deletion of personal data, subject to legal retention requirements.
• The right to restrict or object to certain processing.
• The right to data portability where it applies.
• The right to withdraw consent at any time, without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
• The right to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information, as those terms are defined under the CCPA. tickers.info does not sell personal information; advertising-related data sharing with Google can be limited via the cookie banner and via Google Ads Settings.
• The right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, contact privacy@tickers.info from the email address associated with the request, or describe enough technical context (approximate visit dates, browser, region) to identify the relevant records.

Data retention

Server access logs are retained for up to 90 days and then rotated. Aggregated analytics in Google Analytics 4 are retained for the standard period configured for the property (up to 14 months). Email correspondence is retained for as long as is reasonably necessary to handle the issue and to keep a record of corrections, then deleted on request.

International transfers

The hosting, analytics and advertising vendors used by tickers.info operate globally, which means data may be transferred outside the reader's country, including to the United States. Where applicable, those vendors rely on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent transfer mechanisms.

Children

tickers.info is a general-audience financial reference site and is not directed at children under 13 (or under 16 in the EEA, where local law sets a higher digital-consent age). The site does not knowingly collect personal information from children. A parent or guardian who believes a child has supplied personal data can contact the privacy address above to have it removed.

Changes

This policy may be updated as the site evolves or as the underlying vendors change. Material changes are reflected in the "Last reviewed" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
