What we collect

• Aggregate page views, and what gets used. We use Umami to count which pages are read and which sites link to them, and to count a handful of actions: a chart shared or downloaded, a company saved, a link followed out of an article. An action is recorded with what it was about - a ticker, the name of a chart - and never with anything about you. No cookie, no identifier, nothing that can follow you to another site, and never the email address typed into the form beside it. We see totals, never a person.
• Traffic measurement with Google Analytics. We also use Google Analytics 4 to count visits, pages and the same handful of actions. Outside the EU, the EEA, the UK and Switzerland it sets Google's first-party analytics cookies (_ga), kept for up to 14 months. Inside them it stores nothing on your device and sends Google only cookieless signals. Nothing we send it identifies you. Google signals is on, so for visitors signed in to a Google account who allow ad personalization, Google can add aggregate demographics and cross-device counts to our reports; you control that in My Ad Center. You can opt out of Google Analytics entirely with Google's browser add-on or by blocking its cookies.
• A theme preference. If you switch between light and dark, your browser keeps that one word (tenq.theme, in its local storage) so the page does not flash the wrong color next time. It never leaves your device.
• The stocks you viewed lately. The search box lists the last few stock pages you opened. Your browser keeps that list (tenq.recent, in its local storage), and it never leaves your device. Clear it from the search box anytime.
• What is trending. When a stock's page is opened, we add one to that stock's count for the day, at most once per visit. The count holds the ticker and nothing else: no account, no IP address, no cookie. The search box shows the stocks opened most over the last week.
• Your email address, only if you type it in. Two places ask for one: the weekly-note signup box, where we store the address and which page you used; and the sign-in form, if you choose to make an account.
• Your account, if you make one. Signing in is a link or code sent to your email address, or your Google account, so there is no password to store. The account holds that address; the name you give, or the one Google shares; the company tickers you save (user_watchlists); your email settings; and your country, estimated from your connection when you sign in and changeable in Account settings. The IP address itself is not stored. No payment details, nothing about what you own. Supabase, who run our sign-in, set a cookie so you stay signed in.
• Your investing profile, only if you answer. After signing up you can answer a few optional questions: how long you have been investing, what you want from your investments, how long you usually hold a stock, and what you would do after a big fall. They are kept in user_profiles and used only to tailor the explanations and education on the site to how you invest. They are never used to give personalized advice or to recommend investments, never shared, and never sent to our analytics. Change or clear them anytime in Account settings.
• Ordinary server logs. Our host records requests, including IP addresses, as every web server does, to serve pages and to stop abuse. We do not build profiles from them.

What we do not do

• We do not sell, rent or share your email address, with anybody, ever.
• We do not set advertising cookies, and nothing we measure is used to follow you across other sites.
• We do not ask you to log in to read a report. Reading the site creates no account. A free account, which needs only an email address, saves your lists and opens the insights on each report.
• We do not want your financial details. No page on this site will ever ask for a bank, brokerage or card number, and if one appears to, it is not us.

Advertising

TenQ is free and is intended to be funded by advertising. As of the date at the top of this page it carries no advertising, and therefore no advertising cookies and no third-party ad scripts.

That will change, and this page will change first. Before the first advert appears we will name the network here, say what it stores and how long for, and explain how to opt out of personalised advertising. If this section still says there are no ads while you can see one, that is a mistake worth telling us about.

Getting your data removed

Signed in, you can delete your account yourself from Account settings: it removes the account, its watchlist, its investing profile, its email settings and the mailing-list entry for that address, at once. Or write to hello@tenq.co from the address you used and we will delete it all for you. No form and no reason needed. Deleting the account takes its watchlist and profile with it automatically, because the table is defined that way rather than because somebody remembers to. Every email we send will also carry an unsubscribe link that works without a reply.

Who else is involved

Three services see traffic in the course of running the site: Vercel hosts it and serves every page, Supabase stores the email list, the accounts, their watchlists and profiles, and Cloudflare answers DNS for tenq.co. Each of them processes data on our instructions and for no purpose of ours beyond running the site.

Company figures come from the SEC's own public filings. Fetching them tells the SEC nothing about you, because we fetch them on a schedule and store the result: your reading a report does not reach out to anybody.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect anything from anyone under 13. If you believe we have, write to hello@tenq.co and it will be deleted.

Changes

The date at the top of this page is the last time these words changed. When they change materially, that date changes with them.
