  1. Personal Information: Personal information includes any data that can be used to identify you, such as your name, email address, phone number, postal address, or financial account information when necessary.
  2. Usage Information: We may collect anonymous data about how you interact with our website or app, such as which pages you visit and how long you stay on each page.

Comments

When visitors leave comments on the site we collect the data shown in the comments form, and also the visitor’s IP address and browser user agent string to help spam detection.

An anonymized string created from your email address (also called a hash) may be provided to the Gravatar service to see if you are using it. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your comment, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.

Media

If you upload images to the website, you should avoid uploading images with embedded location data (EXIF GPS) included. Visitors to the website can download and extract any location data from images on the website.

Cookies

If you leave a comment on our site you may opt-in to saving your name, email address and website in cookies. These are for your convenience so that you do not have to fill in your details again when you leave another comment. These cookies will last for one year.

If you visit our login page, we will set a temporary cookie to determine if your browser accepts cookies. This cookie contains no personal data and is discarded when you close your browser.

When you log in, we will also set up several cookies to save your login information and your screen display choices. Login cookies last for two days, and screen options cookies last for a year. If you select “Remember Me”, your login will persist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cookies will be removed.

If you edit or publish an article, an additional cookie will be saved in your browser. This cookie includes no personal data and simply indicates the post ID of the article you just edited. It expires after 1 day.

Embedded content from other websites

Articles on this site may include embedded content (e.g. videos, images, articles, etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in the exact same way as if the visitor has visited the other website.

These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website.

How We Use Your Information

We use your collected personal information for various purposes:

  1. To provide our services effectively and efficiently.
  2. To communicate with you regarding important updates or changes related to our services.
  3. To personalize and enhance user experience on our platform.
  4. For marketing purposes (with your consent), such as promoting new features or products that may interest you.
  5. To maintain a secure environment by preventing fraud and ensuring compliance with legal obligations.

How We Share Your Information

Weka Investing does not sell or rent your personal information to third parties for marketing purposes without your explicit consent.

We may share some of your personal information with third-party service providers solely for the purpose of providing better services to you. These service providers are contractually bound to protect your information and use it only for the services we request.

In addition, we may be required to disclose personal information when lawfully requested by government authorities, or in the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of our company’s assets.

Security Measures

We are dedicated to keeping your personal information secure. We have implemented various security measures, including encryption and secure storage systems, to ensure that your data is protected from unauthorized access.

However, please note that no system can guarantee complete security. We encourage you to take appropriate precautions when using our services and sharing personal information.

What rights you have over your data

If you have an account on this site, or have left comments, you can request to receive an exported file of the personal data we hold about you, including any data you have provided to us. You can also request that we erase any personal data we hold about you. This does not include any data we are obliged to keep for administrative, legal, or security purposes.

Where your data is sent

Visitor comments may be checked through an automated spam detection service.

Who we share your data with

If you request a password reset, your IP address will be included in the reset email.

How long we retain your data

If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are retained indefinitely. This is so we can recognize and approve any follow-up comments automatically instead of holding them in a moderation queue.

For users that register on our website (if any), we also store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit, or delete their personal information at any time (except they cannot change their username). Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

Changes To This Privacy Policy

Weka Investing reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time without prior notice. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our website and app. Your continued use of our services after updates signifies your acceptance of the revised policy.
