Privacy Policy

Stock Meerkat (“we”, “us”) operates stockmeerkat.xyz, an educational site about US equity markets. This policy explains what information we may collect and how we use it. We designed this page to support advertising platforms such as Google AdSense once enabled.

1. Information we collect

Information you provide

If you email hello@stockmeerkat.xyz or use a contact form, we receive the details you send (such as name, email, and message content). Contact forms open your email app to message hello@stockmeerkat.xyz.

Automatically collected data

Like most websites, our hosting provider and any analytics tools we enable may collect technical data: IP address, browser type, device type, referring URL, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from IP. We may use cookies or similar technologies for essential site function, analytics, and advertising.

2. Cookies

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. We may use:

• Essential cookies — for security and basic preferences
• Analytics cookies — to understand aggregate traffic (for example Google Analytics or similar, if enabled)
• Advertising cookies — if we display ads via Google AdSense or comparable networks, those partners may set cookies to show relevant ads and measure performance

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features.

3. Advertising & Google AdSense

We may use Google AdSense or other ad partners to display advertisements. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. Google’s use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to stockmeerkat.xyz and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings or industry opt-out pages such as aboutads.info. We do not invent or publish a publisher ID on this site until official approval is in place; ad containers are placeholders only.

4. How we use information

• To operate and improve the website
• To respond to messages you send
• To measure readership and content performance
• To display advertising (when enabled)
• To comply with legal obligations

5. Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share data with service providers (hosting, email, analytics, advertising) who process it on our behalf, or when required by law. International transfers may occur because internet infrastructure is global.

6. Retention & security

We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above. No method of transmission is 100% secure; we take reasonable measures appropriate to a content site of this size.

7. Children’s privacy

This site is not directed at children under 13 (or the equivalent age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

8. Your choices

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of personal data. Contact hello@stockmeerkat.xyz with “Privacy request” in the subject line. We will respond within a reasonable period.

9. Changes

We may update this policy. The “Last updated” date at the top will change when we do. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the revised policy.
