8. Newsletter Signups

If you subscribe, we store your email (and name if provided) to send ranking updates. You can unsubscribe at any time. We do not currently send automated marketing beyond ranking-related updates.

9. Contact Form Submissions

Messages you send via the contact form are stored so we can respond and keep a record of corrections or partnership requests.

10. Affiliate Click Tracking

When you click an outbound firm link, we record an anonymous event (the link, the page, an anonymous session ID) to understand which content is useful. We do not use this to build an identifiable profile of you.

11. Analytics And Cookies

We use minimal cookies and local storage required for the site to function. If we add analytics cookies in the future, this policy and our Cookie Policy will be updated.

12. Admin Account Data

Authorised operators have admin accounts. We store their email and a securely hashed password. Public users do not have accounts.

13. Technical Logs

Our hosting and security providers may keep standard technical logs (including IP addresses) for security and reliability.

14. Who We Share Data With

We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with service providers that help us run the site (e.g. hosting), and where required by law.

15. Third-Party Services

Outbound links take you to third-party prop firm websites with their own privacy practices. We are not responsible for their policies.

16. International Transfers

Our providers may process data outside your country. Where they do, appropriate safeguards are expected to be in place.

17. Data Retention

We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes above or as required by law. Newsletter data is kept until you unsubscribe.

18. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organisational measures, including hashed admin passwords and access controls, to protect data.

19. User Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict use of your personal data, and to withdraw consent. Contact us to exercise these rights.
