This is the privacy policy for investdecade.com, the home of Investdecade’s writing on Investdecade. It explains what is collected, why, and how to change it.

Our Audience and Age

Nothing here is directed at children. The site assumes an adult reader, we do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13 (16 where required), and any such data discovered is deleted promptly.

Retention Periods

Storage is time-limited and purpose-limited. Subscriber and comment data goes when you withdraw it; analytics data expires on schedule. The site is served over HTTPS, access to what we hold is restricted, and safeguards are kept proportionate to the data involved. No safeguard is perfect.

If You Subscribe

We use confirmed (double) opt-in for the mailing list, so nobody is subscribed by mistake or by someone else. Unsubscribe links and our postal address appear in every email, and we do not sell or rent the list.

Your Choices

Depending where you live, you may have the right to see what we hold, correct it, have it deleted, take a copy elsewhere, object to certain processing, or opt out of your data being sold or shared for advertising. That covers readers under the UK and EU GDPR and under US state laws including the CCPA/CPRA. We honour Global Privacy Control signals automatically. See Do Not Sell or Share and our State Privacy Notice.

How We Use It

The information is used to keep the site working, to understand which of our guides, comparisons and reference pages are actually read, to send the newsletter to people who asked for it, and — where advertising is served — to support that advertising.

Tracking Technologies

For anything cookie-related, our Cookie Policy is the document that applies.

Where advertising is served, third-party vendors including Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings, or opt out of a third-party vendor’s use of cookies for personalised advertising at www.aboutads.info.

What Comes In

Two kinds of information reach us. The first is automatic: standard server and analytics data such as IP address, approximate location, device and browser details, and which pages of investdecade.com were viewed. The second is whatever you deliberately hand over — a comment, a newsletter signup, or a message you send us.

• Worth saying outright, since it is the question we get asked: we ask readers not to send us sensitive personal details, and we delete rather than retain anything of that kind that reaches us unprompted.

Shared With

Running a site of this kind involves outside providers. Hosting and content delivery, analytics (we may use a provider such as Google Analytics), an email platform if you subscribe, and any advertising network we work with. Where these act on their own account rather than ours — as independent controllers rather than processors acting on our instruction — their own privacy policies apply alongside this one.
