LEGAL

Privacy Policy

War and Markets collects limited usage data to run and improve warandmarkets.com, including aggregated analytics and basic server logs. We do not provide brokerage services and do not intentionally collect sensitive financial account data through this site.

Last updated: March 5, 2026

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 to measure aggregate engagement signals, including page views, internal link clicks, section interactions, and scroll-depth events. These events are used to improve content quality, navigation clarity, and editorial prioritization.

The website does not require account creation, does not process investment account credentials, and does not ask for payment card information.

Cookies and Tracking

War and Markets is designed to operate without invasive ad-tech profiling. Analytics implementation is currently based on Vercel Web Analytics and event instrumentation embedded in site JavaScript.

If we later introduce additional tracking technologies, consent tooling, or marketing integrations, this policy will be updated with specific cookie categories and controls.

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.

Sharing and Service Providers

Infrastructure and analytics processing may involve service providers that host and secure the site, including Vercel. These providers process data on our behalf to deliver website functionality and reporting.

We may disclose information when required by law, to protect legal rights, or to address misuse of the site.

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.
