Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 15, 2026

Introduction

This policy explains how we collect and use your information when you read The Gilded Algorithm, visit our site, or subscribe to our newsletter. We are based in the United States and this policy is written for U.S. readers. By using our services, you agree to these practices.

Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to run and improve the newsletter:

  • Information you provide:

    • Email address when you subscribe

    • Name (if you choose to provide it)

    • Payment-related details handled by third‑party processors if you purchase anything

    • Information you send when you reply to emails or contact us

  • Information collected automatically (often via our email/website platform, e.g., Beehiiv):

    • IP address, browser, device type

    • Pages viewed, links clicked, time on page

    • Email opens, clicks, unsubscribes, bounces

Cookies & Tracking

We and our service providers use cookies and similar technologies to operate the site, measure readership, and improve performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but some features may not work properly if you disable them.

How We Use Your Information

Send you The Gilded Algorithm and related updates you signed up for

  • To manage your subscription and respond to your messages

  • To analyze engagement to improve our content and services

  • To maintain security and comply with U.S. law

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We share it only with trusted service providers (such as email, hosting, and payment platforms) who use it solely to provide services on our behalf.

Email Practices

We comply with the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act. Every newsletter or marketing email includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time by clicking that link or contacting us.

Data Retention & Security

We keep your information while you are subscribed and for a limited period afterward for recordkeeping and legal purposes. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data, but no system is completely secure.

Your Rights

All U.S. readers can

  • Unsubscribe from emails at any time

  • Ask what information we have about you

  • Ask us to update or delete your information, subject to lawful retention needs

California residents may have additional rights under the CCPA/CPRA (such as rights to know, access, delete, and correct personal information). We do not “sell” or “share” personal information as defined by California law.

Children

Our content is for adults interested in markets and investing. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child under 13 has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date reflects the most recent version. Continued use of our services after changes means you accept the updated policy.
