StockTicker.net ("we", "us", "the site") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we and our service providers collect when you visit the site, how it is used, and the choices you have. It applies to the website at stockticker.net.
1. Information we collect
Information collected automatically. When you load a page, our hosting infrastructure and our analytics provider may record:
- Browser type, version, and language
- Operating system and device type
- IP address (used for geolocation and security; truncated where supported)
- Pages visited, ticker symbols requested, time spent, and clicks
- Referring URL and exit URL
- Date and time of the visit
Information you give us. If you email us at [email protected], we receive your email address and whatever you choose to include in the message.
Information collected by third parties. Embedded widgets (TradingView) and our analytics provider (Google Analytics) collect information directly when those scripts run in your browser. See Third-party services below.
2. How we use information
- Operate, maintain, and secure the site
- Understand which pages and tickers are useful, in aggregate
- Diagnose technical errors and prevent abuse
- Reply to messages you send us
We do not sell your personal information. We do not run an email marketing list and do not send promotional email.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We use cookies, local storage, pixel tags, and similar technologies for the purposes described above. The site itself sets no advertising cookies; the cookies in use come from Google Analytics and from the embedded TradingView widgets. A full breakdown — including how to opt out — lives on the Cookie Policy page.
4. Third-party services
Advertising. StockTicker.net does not currently show advertising and does not use advertising networks such as Google AdSense. If that changes, this policy will be updated before any ads are served.
Google Analytics. Every page loads Google Analytics (gtag.js, measurement ID G-WMC4GZ22YY) to understand site usage in aggregate, such as which pages and ticker symbols are viewed. Google Analytics sets cookies on your device (for example _ga) and sends usage data, including your IP address, to Google. You can install the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on from tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Google's privacy policy is available at policies.google.com/privacy, and how Google uses data from sites that use its services is explained at policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
TradingView. Charts, quotes, fundamentals, technical analysis, news, market overview, and heatmap panels on the home page are embedded from TradingView. When those widgets load, TradingView may collect information about your visit subject to its own privacy and cookie policies.
5. Legal bases for processing (EU/UK)
If you are in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or another region with similar laws, we rely on the following legal bases:
- Consent — for non-essential analytics cookies, where consent is required by law. The site does not currently display a cookie-consent banner; you can block or delete Google Analytics cookies at any time using the options on the Cookie Policy page.
- Legitimate interests — to keep the site secure, debug errors, and understand usage in aggregate.
- Contract / pre-contract — to respond to email enquiries you initiate.
- Legal obligation — where retention or disclosure is required by applicable law.
6. Your privacy rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you
- Correct inaccurate data
- Delete data we hold about you
- Object to or restrict processing
- Withdraw consent for cookie-based processing
- Receive a copy of your data in a portable format
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority
California residents have additional rights under the CCPA / CPRA, including the right to know what categories of personal information are collected and to request deletion. We do not sell personal information as that term is defined under the CCPA.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] from the address you would like the request to apply to. We may need to confirm your identity before acting on the request.
7. Data retention
The site is static and does not keep its own visitor database; our hosting provider may keep short-lived request logs for security and debugging under its own policies. Aggregated analytics are retained per the standard retention setting in Google Analytics. Email correspondence is retained as long as is reasonably necessary to follow up on the question and is then deleted.
8. Data security
We use technical and organisational measures appropriate to the type of data the site handles — primarily HTTPS in transit, restricted access to administrative tools, and reliance on reputable infrastructure providers. No method of transmission over the Internet is fully secure; we cannot guarantee absolute security.
9. International data transfers
The site is operated using global infrastructure. Information collected through the site, including via Google services, may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other countries whose data-protection laws may differ from those in your country. By using the site you accept these transfers, subject to safeguards required by applicable law.
10. Children's privacy
The site is not directed to children under 13 (or under 16 where required by local law) and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them. If you believe a child has provided personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
11. Do Not Track
There is no common standard for responding to Do Not Track signals, and the site does not currently change its behaviour when one is received: Google Analytics and the TradingView widgets load either way. To stop analytics collection, use the opt-out options described on the Cookie Policy page.
12. Changes to this Privacy Policy
We may update this policy as the site, our partners, or applicable laws change. Material updates will be reflected by a revised "Last reviewed on" date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy to the extent permitted by law.
13. How to contact us
Privacy questions and requests can be sent to [email protected]. See also the Contact page.
