Privacy Policy
How MarketsHQ collects, uses and protects your information.
This policy explains what data MarketsHQ collects when you use our site, tools and services, how we use it, and the choices you have.
Information we collect
We collect the minimum information needed to operate MarketsHQ:
- Account data — email address and, if you sign in with a provider, the identifiers that provider shares.
- Usage data — pages visited, articles read, watchlist items, and anonymized device/browser metadata.
- Communications — the content of any message you send to our editorial or support inboxes.
How we use your information
We use your information to:
- Deliver and personalise the MarketsHQ site, tools and watchlists.
- Send transactional emails (account, security, requested alerts).
- Measure content performance and improve editorial coverage.
- Protect the service against abuse, fraud and security threats.
Sharing your information
We do not sell your personal data. We share limited data only with vetted processors that help us run the service (hosting, analytics, email delivery, error monitoring) under written data-processing terms.
We may disclose information when legally required or to protect the rights and safety of our users and the service.
Cookies & similar technologies
MarketsHQ uses first-party cookies to keep you signed in and remember preferences, and privacy-respecting analytics to understand which content is useful.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling essential cookies will break sign-in and personalisation features.
Data retention
We keep account data for as long as your account is active and for a limited period afterwards to meet legal, tax and security obligations. Aggregated, anonymized analytics may be retained indefinitely.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Access the personal data we hold about you.
- Correct inaccurate or incomplete data.
- Delete your account and associated data.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Port your data to another service.
Email privacy@marketshq.net to exercise any of these rights.
Security
We protect your data with encryption in transit, hardened cloud infrastructure, role-based access controls and audit logging. No system is perfectly secure, but we work to keep MarketsHQ close.
International transfers
MarketsHQ operates globally. Your data may be processed in countries other than your own, always under appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses where applicable.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be highlighted on this page and, where appropriate, notified by email.
