There is no account to create and no newsletter to join. The short version: this site does not collect personal data about you, and the one thing that can — Google Ads — is off until you say otherwise.
What is stored on your device
Your preferences are kept in your browser's local storage, on your own device. They are never sent to the server and never leave the machine:
- your Light / Dark / System theme choice;
- the companies you have starred as favourites;
- filter settings — minimum company size, whether the filter bar is folded, and the like.
Clearing site data in your browser removes all of it. Local storage is not a cookie and is not transmitted with requests.
The site also installs a service worker so it can load offline. It caches the page, its stylesheets and its script. It never caches market data.
What the server records
The server keeps ordinary operational logs of requests it handles — the path requested, a timestamp, and the response status — for debugging and to apply rate limits. Logs are short-lived and are not used to build a profile of anyone, not combined with any other source, and not shared or sold.
No account, name, email address, postal address, payment detail or portfolio information is ever requested, and none is stored.
Third parties
Market data is fetched by the server, not by your browser, so loading the board does not put you in contact with any data provider. The server calls Finnhub for the earnings calendar, Yahoo Finance and Alpaca for quotes, charts and option chains, the public Reddit API for social chatter, and the Anthropic API to classify that chatter. Those requests carry no information about you — they are the server asking about a ticker.
Three places where a third party can see you:
- Analytics. The page loads a small script from Umami (cloud.umami.is), which records an aggregate pageview — page path, referrer, and coarse browser and location details derived from the request — reported back to Umami's collector (gateway.umami.is). It sets no cookies, stores no name or account tied to you, and does not track you across other sites.
- Google Ads. The page loads Google's tag
(googletagmanager.com) so ad performance can be measured. It is
consent-gated and denied by default: on first visit a
banner asks, and until you press "Accept" the tag runs in a mode that
sets no advertising cookie and sends nothing that can be tied to you or
used to build an ad profile of you. Accepting lets Google set a cookie
(typically
_gcl_au) to attribute a later ad interaction, and is cross-site by nature — that is what an ad platform does. Declining, or not answering, leaves it off; you can change your answer by clearing site data, which resets the banner. - Outbound links. Following any link off this site — including an affiliate link — hands you to that company, under its privacy policy, not this one. An affiliate link will typically set a cookie on the destination site so the referral can be credited. That happens after you click, on their domain, and it is governed by their terms.
- Whoever hosts this site sees the network-level information every web server sees, such as your IP address, as a necessary part of delivering the page.
How affiliate links are used and labelled is set out on the Disclosures page.
Legal basis and your rights
Where the UK GDPR or EU GDPR applies, the limited processing described above (serving the page, keeping it available, preventing abuse, and the cookieless Umami pageview count) rests on the operator's legitimate interests in running a working, secure website. None of it needs your consent, and no consent banner is shown for any of it: nothing involved is stored on your device beyond what is strictly necessary to provide the site you asked for.
Google Ads is the one exception, and is handled accordingly rather than folded into that reasoning: it is off by default for every visitor and does not set its advertising cookie until you consent, via the banner shown on first visit — which is what GDPR and the ePrivacy rules require before a non-essential, ad-related cookie is set. Declining, or leaving the banner unanswered, both leave it off: consent defaults to denied until you actively grant it.
You have the right to ask what personal data is held about you, and to have it corrected or erased. In practice this site holds none, so there is normally nothing to return or delete. Requests, and any complaint, can be sent to [email protected]. You may also complain to your national data-protection authority.
