Privacy policy

The site is run by Rithick G, who decides how the limited personal data described here is used (the “data fiduciary” under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023). This policy also serves as the privacy policy required under the Information Technology Act, 2000 and its rules.

Some features remember your choices using your browser’s local storage. This data stays on your device, is never sent to us, and we cannot see it:

You can remove it at any time by clearing this site’s data in your browser settings.

To understand which pages and tools are useful and to find errors, we use two analytics services, PostHog and Google Analytics. When analytics is on, your browser sends:

• the pages you view and the page you arrived from;
• the words you type into the site’s search box, and the results, links and buttons you use (for example, comparing funds or exporting a table);
• technical details such as browser, operating system, screen size and language;
• an approximate location (country and city) estimated from the network address your browser connects from;
• error reports if a page fails, with the page address and a technical description of the error.

These are tied to random identifiers stored in your browser (in local storage and first-party cookies named beginning ph_ for PostHog and _ga for Google Analytics), not to your name or any account. We do not record your screen or sessions, do not collect what you type into forms other than search, and do not create profiles of identified people. Please do not type personal information into the search box.

If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, no analytics is collected. Ad and tracker blockers may also stop it, and the site works fully either way.

Like almost every website, the servers that host the site record basic details of each request, such as the network (IP) address, the time, the page requested and the browser type. These logs are used only to keep the site running and secure, to stop abuse, and to diagnose faults, and they are kept for a short period set by our hosting provider before being deleted.

We use the information above only to:

• run the site and keep it secure;
• understand, in aggregate, how the site is used, and improve it;
• find and fix errors;
• meet legal obligations.

By using the site with analytics on, you consent to this processing; you can withdraw that consent at any time with the control below, and withdrawing it does not affect the rest of the site. Security logs are kept for legitimate uses permitted by law.

We do not sell, rent or trade personal data, and we do not use it for advertising. It is processed for us by:

• PostHog, Inc. (analytics), on servers in the United States;
• Google LLC (Google Analytics), which may process it on servers outside India; we have not linked it to advertising or turned on Google signals;
• our hosting and infrastructure providers, which serve the site and keep its logs.

These providers act on our instructions and are bound to protect the data. Some of them store data outside India, which the DPDP Act permits except to countries the Government of India restricts. We may also disclose information if the law, a court or a government authority requires it.

Analytics data is kept for no more than 12 months and then deleted. Server logs are kept only for the short period set by our hosting provider. Data in your browser stays until you clear it.

The site is served only over encrypted connections (HTTPS) with a strict content security policy. PostHog analytics is sent through the site’s own address; Google Analytics is sent directly to Google. Access to analytics and hosting is limited to the people who run the site. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, but because we hold no accounts, passwords or financial details, there is little about you that could be exposed.

Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 you may ask us:

• for a summary of the personal data we hold about you and how it is used;
• to correct, complete or erase it;
• to stop processing based on your consent (the analytics switch below does this immediately);
• to address a grievance, and to nominate someone to exercise these rights for you.

Because analytics is anonymous, we can find your PostHog data only if you send us the anonymous identifier shown below. Google Analytics data cannot be traced back to you by us; switching analytics off stops it. Email it to us with your request. If you are not satisfied with our response, you may complain to the Data Protection Board of India.

The site is meant for adults researching investments. It is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18 or track them. If you believe a child’s data has been collected, contact us and we will delete it.

If what we collect changes, we will update this page and the date at the top, and note significant changes on the site before they take effect. See also the terms of use.
