Trading Guide

Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 19, 2026

Trading Guide ("we", "us", "the site") operates the website at trading-guide.com. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and how to contact us if you have questions or want to exercise your rights under CCPA, Delaware DPDPA, GDPR, or any other applicable privacy law.

The short version: we collect as little data as possible, we do not sell personal data to anyone, and we do not use personalised advertising.

What we collect

Analytics. We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand which articles readers find useful. These tools record anonymised page views, approximate geographic region, device type, and aggregated interaction patterns (scroll depth, click heatmaps). We do not record your IP address in identifiable form. You can opt out by using any standard cookie-blocking extension or by enabling Do Not Track in your browser.

Email. If you send us an email using the contact address below, we retain that email to respond. We do not add you to any list or share your address with third parties.

No account system. Trading Guide does not offer accounts, logins, or subscriptions. We do not collect names, email addresses, or payment data in the normal course of you reading articles.

No advertising. We do not run display ads. We do not use remarketing or retargeting pixels. We do not sell or rent reader data.

Cookies

Our analytics tools set first-party cookies to distinguish return visitors from new ones. These cookies do not carry personal identifiers. No third-party advertising cookies are set.

Any cookies from embedded third-party content (for example, a Giphy image loaded from media.giphy.com) are governed by those third parties' own privacy policies. We embed very little third-party content and try to self-host where practical.

Your rights

If you are a resident of California, Delaware, the EU/EEA, or the UK, you have the right to know what data is held about you, request deletion, and opt out of any sale or sharing of personal information. Since we do not sell or share data, there is usually nothing to opt out of — but you can still request confirmation in writing by emailing the address below.

We respond to data requests within 30 days.

Data retention

Analytics data is retained for up to 14 months in aggregate form. Email correspondence is retained as long as useful for ongoing discussion, then deleted.

Children

Trading Guide is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has provided us information, email us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page when the policy changes. Material changes are summarised at the top for the following 30 days.
