Scope and Effective Date
This Privacy Policy applies to warandmarkets.com and any pages under the War and Markets website. It explains what information is processed when you read analysis content, navigate page links, and interact with on-page elements.
Effective date: March 5, 2026. We may update this policy when our publishing workflow, analytics stack, or legal obligations change.
Information We Process
We process technical request data normally generated by website visits, including page URL, approximate geolocation by IP, device/browser metadata, referrer, timestamp, and response status. This data is used for uptime, abuse prevention, and aggregate traffic reporting.
We use Vercel Web Analytics instrumentation and the Google tag (Google Analytics 4) to measure engagement signals, including page views, internal link clicks, section interactions, and scroll-depth events. These measurements are used to improve content quality, navigation clarity, and editorial prioritization.
We also use a third-party advertising provider, Adsterra, to serve native banner advertisements. Ad delivery may involve device, browser, IP, referrer, or interaction data that supports impression measurement, fraud prevention, and ad rendering.
The website does not require account creation, does not process investment account credentials, and does not ask for payment card information.
How We Use Information
We use processed data to operate the site, analyze readership trends, detect broken paths, monitor performance, and improve content relevance for investors and economically focused readers.
We may use aggregate analytics to evaluate which topics require deeper updates, including oil risk pages, recession dashboards, sanctions explainers, and shipping chokepoint coverage.
Retention, Security, and International Access
We retain operational and analytics data for as long as reasonably necessary for security, quality assurance, and trend analysis, then delete or aggregate it according to provider controls and operational needs.
No internet service is fully risk-free. We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but cannot guarantee absolute security.
War and Markets is accessible internationally. By using the site, you understand your information may be processed in jurisdictions where our infrastructure providers operate.
External Links and Third-Party Content
Our analysis pages link to external sources such as EIA, FRED, IMF, World Bank, Reuters, and public filings. When you leave warandmarkets.com, the destination site controls its own data practices.
We encourage you to review third-party privacy policies before sharing information on external websites.
Your Choices and Policy Updates
You can limit certain data processing by using browser privacy controls, blocking scripts, or discontinuing site use. Because this site does not require user accounts, account-level data export or deletion workflows are currently limited.
For policy questions or legal requests, use the public repository contact channel at https://github.com/clementheck1/war-and-markets/issues. Material policy revisions will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
