Privacy Policy
1. Overview
Global Investing ("we", "us") operates the FX Terminal at globalinvesting.github.io. This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected when you use the Terminal, how it is used, and your choices regarding that data.
We do not collect, store, or process personal data on our own servers. The Terminal is a static site hosted on GitHub Pages. No accounts, logins, or user registrations are required.
2. Data We Collect
We do not directly collect personal information. However, the following third-party services integrated into the Terminal may collect data:
3. Cookies & Local Storage
The Terminal uses browser localStorage for the following essential purposes:
| Key | Purpose | Expiry |
|---|---|---|
| gdpr_consent_v2 | Stores your cookie consent preference (accepted / rejected) | 13 months |
| tv_chart_symbol | Remembers your last selected chart symbol (TradingView) | Session |
No tracking cookies are set by us directly. Third-party cookies (Google AdSense, TradingView) are only loaded after your explicit consent via the cookie banner.
4. Google AdSense
If you accept cookies, we serve advertisements via Google AdSense (publisher ID: ca-pub-7977942731354565). Google may use cookies to show you personalized ads based on your browsing history. If you reject cookies, ads are served in non-personalized mode with no behavioral tracking.
You can manage Google's ad personalization settings at adssettings.google.com.
5. TradingView Widgets
The Terminal embeds TradingView charts and widgets. TradingView may set its own cookies and collect usage data per their Privacy Policy. These widgets load regardless of your AdSense consent, as they are essential to core Terminal functionality.
6. GitHub Pages (Hosting)
The Terminal is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may collect server logs including IP addresses, browser type, and pages visited per GitHub's Privacy Statement. We do not have access to these logs.
7. Third-Party Data Sources
The Terminal displays market data sourced from external providers (Frankfurter/ECB, CFTC, yfinance, Myfxbook). These data fetches are made client-side from your browser and are subject to each provider's privacy policy. We do not intermediary or log these requests.
AI-generated market narrative and signals are produced server-side by an automated pipeline and delivered to the Terminal as static JSON files. No personally identifiable information is transmitted to the AI processing service.
8. Your Rights (GDPR)
If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of any personal data held about you. Since we do not store personal data ourselves, most requests should be directed to the relevant third-party service (Google, TradingView, GitHub).
To withdraw your AdSense cookie consent, clear your browser's localStorage or revisit the Terminal in a private/incognito window.
9. Children's Privacy
The Terminal is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect data from children.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last updated" date at the top reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Terminal constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
