We collect as little as we can get away with.
Alpha Gear is free and ad-supported, but it is not in the business of harvesting data. Here is exactly what's collected and why.

Analytics — no cookies, no consent banner
We use Cloudflare Web Analytics, which is privacy-first and consent-free: it sets no cookies and does not fingerprint or track you across sites. We see aggregate page views and referrers — never individual profiles. Because it stores nothing on your device, it triggers no cookie banner.
The one thing we store: your email
If you subscribe, we store your email address for the sole purpose of sending the weekly signal. That's the only personal information we hold. No name, no phone, no address. Unsubscribe at any time with one click, and the address is deleted.
Advertising consent (only when ads load)
The track record and per-signal pages may show a single ad unit. Google's advertising system includes a Funding Choices consent prompt (a CMP) that appears only on those ad-bearing pages, to satisfy advertising regulations. The rest of the site shows no consent banner because it sets no advertising cookies.
No brokerage data, ever
We never ask for, receive, or store any brokerage credentials, balances, positions, or trading activity. Alpha Gear has no connection to your account and no way to see it. Affiliate links simply tell a partner you arrived from here — they convey no financial data back to us.
