The short version

InvestRight is a free, ad-free stock-research site run by one person. There are no advertising trackers, no third-party analytics, no data brokers, and nothing is ever sold or shared for marketing. The site keeps basic visit records so I can see which pages are worth improving, and — if you make an account — the watchlist, notes and holdings you save.

What's recorded when you browse

For each page view the site stores: the page address, the time, your IP address, your browser's user-agent string, and a random id kept in a cookie so repeat views can be grouped into one visit. From the IP address the site works out an approximate city and country, using a database stored on the server — your IP is never sent to any outside geolocation service. If you typed a first name into the welcome popup, that name is stored alongside those records; it's whatever you chose to type and is never verified.

These records are deleted automatically after 13 months.

If you create an account

An account stores your email address, a hashed password (never the password itself), the display name and market you chose, and whatever you save — watchlist, notes, holdings, price alerts. Your email is used only to sign you in, reset your password, and send the weekly summary if you're subscribed.

Cookies

• Sign-in cookie — keeps you logged in. Essential.
• Visitor id (vid) — a random id used to group page views into a visit. Analytics; you can switch it off below.
• Preferences (theme, ccy, ir_market, ir_today_scope, and the name you typed) — remember your display settings. No tracking.
• Opt-out (ir_dnt) — set only if you turn analytics off, so the site remembers to leave you alone.

There's no cookie banner because none of these follow you to other websites — and the one that isn't strictly necessary has an off switch.

Who else sees anything

• Oracle Cloud hosts the server, so traffic passes through their infrastructure.
• Yahoo Finance supplies share prices. The site fetches those on a schedule; your identity is not part of those requests.
• Google (Gemini) or Groq generate the nightly market summary and answer “Ask Otto” questions. If you type a question into Ask Otto, that question is sent to whichever of those services is configured, along with the saved figures for the stock you're viewing. Don't put personal information into that box.
• Gmail delivers password-reset and newsletter email, if and when email is switched on.

Nobody else. No advertising networks, no analytics vendors, no data brokers.

Your choices

You can turn visit analytics off for this browser right now. Nothing is written at all while it's off — not your IP, not the page, not a row.

The setting lives in a cookie, so it applies to this browser. Clearing your cookies clears it too.

Seeing or deleting your data

If you have an account, your account page lets you change your password or delete the account outright, which removes your email, your saved lists and your notes.

To ask what's held about you, or to have visit records erased, email arkap.chaudhuri@gmail.com. It's one person reading, so allow a few days. If you're in the UK, EU or a similar jurisdiction, you have the right to access, correct, export or erase your data, and to object to it being collected — the opt-out above is the instant version of that last one.

Children

This site isn't aimed at children and doesn't knowingly collect their data.

If what's collected changes, this page changes with it. Last updated 2 August 2026.

InvestRight publishes research tools, not financial advice, and this page describes data handling rather than constituting legal advice.
