Privacy

If you only read. No account is needed to browse the course or use the tools. With your consent we record anonymous usage statistics — see Analytics below. Without that consent, reading leaves nothing behind but ordinary server logs.

If you create an account. Your email address and login credentials, held by our authentication provider. We also store your plan tier and how many analyses you have run, which is what enforces the limits on each plan.

When you run an analysis. We save the ticker you looked at, the resulting figures and signals, and the date, so your history is there when you come back. You can delete any entry from your account.

If you join the Mystery Stock list. Your email address, when you joined, and which mystery you joined from. It is used for one thing: telling you when a new mystery goes up. We will ask you to confirm the address before sending anything, and every email carries a link that takes you off the list in one click. If you would rather we deleted the address altogether, get in touch.

Essential. If you log in, a session cookie keeps you logged in. The site cannot offer accounts without it, so it is not optional and needs no consent.

Analytics. Google Analytics sets cookies to tell repeat visits from new ones. In the EEA and the UK these are off until you accept them. Elsewhere they start on, and stop the moment you decline.

Vercel Web Analytics sets no cookies and stores nothing on your device, which is why it is not part of the choice below. It is described in the next section.

You can change your mind at any time — Cookie Settings reopens the choice, and declining stops the cookies being set from that point on.

We use Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages get read. It tells us how many people arrive, which chapters hold attention, and roughly where in the world readers are. We do not use it for advertising, and advertising storage is denied outright in our configuration.

Where consent is required by law — the EEA and the UK — analytics storage defaults to denied and is enabled only if you accept. Elsewhere it starts enabled and you can switch it off at any time, which takes effect from the moment you do. This uses Google Consent Mode. Google processes the data as our processor and may transfer it outside the EEA under its standard contractual clauses.

We also use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views without cookies and without storing anything on your device. It records the page visited, the referring site, and the broad type of device and browser, and derives an approximate country. It does not build a profile of you, follow you between sites, or recognise you on a later visit.

Because it stores nothing on your device, it is not covered by the cookie choice and runs for everyone. Vercel processes this as our processor, on the same terms as the hosting below. If you would rather not be counted at all, a browser that blocks analytics requests will stop it, and it will not affect anything on the site.

• Vercel — hosting and analytics. Serves every page, keeps short-lived request logs, and counts page views without cookies.
• Supabase — accounts, plan tiers, saved analysis history, and the Mystery Stock mailing list.
• Google (Gemini API) — generates the written analysis. It receives the financial figures for the company being analysed, not your identity.
• Google Analytics — usage statistics, subject to the choice described above.

Market data comes from Equibles and SEC filings. Those are sources we read from, not parties we send your data to.

We do not sell your data, and we do not share it for advertising.

Account and analysis data is processed to provide the service you asked for — the contract between us. Analytics cookies rest on your consent, which is why they are off until you give it and why you can withdraw it as easily as you gave it. Cookieless counting, which stores nothing on your device and identifies nobody, rests instead on our legitimate interest in knowing which pages are read.

Account data stays until you delete your account. Analysis history stays until you delete it or the account. Google Analytics data is retained for the period configured on the property, after which Google deletes it. Vercel Web Analytics holds only aggregate counts, with no record tied to a person to keep or delete.

If you are in the EEA or the UK you can ask us for a copy of your data, for corrections, for deletion, or for us to stop a particular use. You can also complain to your national data protection authority — in Spain, the Agencia Española de Protección de Datos.

To exercise any of these, write to chatexplore@investorexplorer.com.

If this policy changes in a way that affects what we collect or why, we will update the date at the top and, where the change requires it, ask for your consent again.
