Privacy Policy

About This Site

Stock Theme Radar does not require registration, login, or account creation. We do not collect your name, email address, or any other personally identifiable information through forms or accounts. This is a static informational website — we do not operate a customer database or send marketing communications.

Cookies and Analytics

Stock Theme Radar uses Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand site usage and improve the website. It measures aggregate metrics only — page views, visits, referral sources, visitor countries and device types, and website-performance metrics — and does not use cookies or any other persistent identifier to track you individually or across other websites.

Stock Theme Radar does not currently use Google Analytics or any other cookie-based analytics or tracking service. No analytics cookies are set by this site.

We may introduce Google Analytics in the future to understand aggregate site usage. If we do, we will update this Privacy Policy and the cookie consent notice first, and request your consent (via the cookie banner) before any analytics cookie is set. At that point this section will describe exactly what is collected and how to opt out — including via the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on and your browser’s cookie / Do Not Track settings.

Advertising and Third-Party Cookies

Stock Theme Radar is integrating Google AdSense, including Google’s automatically placed (“Auto ads”) formats, as its advertising provider. The site is currently going through Google’s AdSense review process, and ads are not yet live. Once approved and enabled, Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, measure ad performance, and, where you have consented, personalize ads based on your visits to this and other websites — this may include the DoubleClick cookie.

For visitors in regions where consent is required — including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland — advertising consent will be handled through a Google-certified consent management platform, to be configured directly in our AdSense account before any ads serve to those regions. This is not a consent mechanism built into this site, and this site’s own cookie banner (see below) does not control advertising cookies.

You can review or change how Google personalizes ads to you via Google’s Ads Settings or aboutads.info. You can always manage or disable cookies entirely through your browser settings.

For background on how Google uses data on sites that use its services, see How Google uses data from sites that use our services.

No Persistent User Data

This site does not save your inputs. The Portfolio and Compare tools reflect your selections in the URL (e.g. /portfolio?tickers=AAPL,MSFT), which means your session is not stored anywhere — closing or refreshing the tab clears it. Watchlists are static curated lists, not user-created content. We do not maintain any record of what you entered or viewed.

Hosting Infrastructure

Like all web hosting providers, the infrastructure that serves this site automatically logs standard server access data — including IP addresses, browser user-agent strings, referring URLs, and access timestamps. This data is processed by the hosting provider pursuant to their own privacy policy. We do not independently store or analyze these server logs.

External Links

Research pages include an external link to Google News search results. Clicking that link takes you to Google’s website, where Google’s own privacy policy applies. We do not control what Google collects when you visit their site.

Data Retention

We do not directly collect or retain personal data. Cloudflare Web Analytics data is aggregate and retained in accordance with Cloudflare’s own data retention policies. Once Google AdSense is approved and serving ads, any data it collects would be retained in accordance with Google’s own data retention settings and policies. If Google Analytics is introduced in the future, that data would likewise be retained under Google’s policies. Server log retention is governed by the hosting provider’s own policies.

Children

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in some jurisdictions). We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

Jurisdiction and Your Rights

This site is operated from Ontario, Canada. Canadian privacy law (PIPEDA and applicable provincial privacy legislation) governs our data handling practices.

If you are located in the European Union or United Kingdom, you may have additional rights under the GDPR or UK GDPR — including rights to access, correction, and erasure of personal data, and the right to object to certain processing. Because we do not directly collect personal data through forms or accounts, the practical scope of these rights against us is limited. For data held by Google (Analytics and AdSense), requests should be directed to Google through their Privacy Policy.

Changes to This Policy

This policy may be updated as the site evolves. The effective date at the top of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of the site after a policy update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
