Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how IDD, operated by Arlington Innovations, LLC (“IDD,” “we,” “us”), collects, uses, and shares information when you use investordatadigest.com (the “Service”).

Information we collect

Account information. Your email address, provided at checkout or when you request a sign-in link, used for account access (including one-time sign-in links) and service emails. We do not use passwords.

Usage data. Pages viewed, features used, and similar analytics events, plus standard technical data (IP address, browser/device, referring URL).

Privacy-minimized product analytics. With your consent, we measure broad feature categories (such as company research, screener, news, or watchlists), category-level journeys, active engagement time, login frequency, and a limited set of named product actions such as filtering, saving, or expanding a chart. For Newsroom stories, we also retain the published article identifier so we can measure readership by story. For signed-in users, we retain pseudonymous daily per-account totals so we can understand adoption and retention over time. A random first-party session identifier expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. Raw events are retained for no more than 90 days; daily per-account, module, and action aggregates may be retained while the account remains active and deleted or anonymized on a valid deletion request. This internal feed does not store ticker symbols, search terms, watchlist contents, full URLs, email addresses, IP addresses, user agents, or a cross-site identifier.

Marketing attribution. With your consent, we store the first landing path, referring site hostname, campaign parameters (e.g., UTM tags), and ad-click identifiers such as gclid in a first-party cookie for up to 90 days. If you begin checkout, we retain the bounded campaign fields and referring hostname with the Stripe checkout and subscription identifiers, plus the random product-session identifier, so the consented landing-to-purchase funnel and campaign totals can be reconciled to paid subscriptions. We do not retain the raw ad-click identifier in our database; it is replaced with a one-way hash.

Billing. Paid subscriptions are processed by Stripe. We never receive or store your full card number — Stripe handles payment data directly. We retain billing status (plan, active/canceled) and Stripe customer/subscription identifiers.

Watchlists & preferences. Tickers and lists you save, to power your dashboard.

We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18, and the Service is not directed to children.

Cookies, analytics & advertising

We use a first-party session cookie to keep you signed in and a first-party cookie for marketing attribution (above). We also use third-party tools that set cookies or similar technologies:

• Google Analytics 4 — usage measurement.
• Google Ads — measuring ad conversions and retargeting.
• LinkedIn Insight Tag — measuring ad conversions and retargeting.

These providers may process data as described in their own privacy policies. Analytics and advertising cookies load only after you accept in our consent banner; until then, only the first-party sign-in cookie is set. Declining or withdrawing consent removes the attribution cookie. You can change or withdraw your choice at any time via the “Your Privacy Choices” link in the footer, and you can also control cookies through your browser and opt out via the providers’ tools.

How we use information

To provide and improve the Service, authenticate you, deliver the daily brief and emails you’ve opted into, process and manage subscriptions, measure and improve marketing, maintain security, and comply with legal obligations. We do not sell your personal information.

Sharing

Except for the Guest Pass information described below, we share information only with service providers that operate the Service on our behalf — Stripe (billing), our email provider (transactional and, if you opt in, marketing email), hosting/infrastructure, and the analytics/advertising providers listed above — and when required by law or to protect our rights. Public, non-personal market and filing data shown in the product comes from SEC EDGAR and our market-data provider.

Guest Pass referrals

When you accept a Guest Pass, we collect your name and verified email address and associate your account with the member who referred you. We record invitation, claim, revocation and access-expiration information to provide access, enforce eligibility, prevent repeat claims, and prevent misuse. The referring member can see your submitted name, whether the pass was claimed, and the guest-access expiration date. This feature does not disclose your email address, searches or watchlists to the referring member.

We separately record whether you choose the optional marketing checkbox, when you opt in, and the consent wording version. Accepting a pass does not by itself opt you into marketing. These referral records are subject to the retention and account-deletion provisions below. We do not ask referring members to upload their contacts or identify an intended recipient before a pass is accepted.

IDD Newsletter

If you sign up for the IDD Newsletter without an account, we collect the email address you enter on Market News or at the end of a news article. We record the time of that signup and the IP address of the request. If you are signed in, the newsletter control on your account page uses the email address on your account. We record the time of that choice and the IP address of the request.

We use this information to send the IDD Newsletter, a briefing of the latest market news, and to send the confirmation email that completes a signup made without an account. Signing up does not create an IDD account.

We send the IDD Newsletter through Resend, our email provider. Resend receives the recipient address and the message in order to deliver the email.

Every IDD Newsletter email includes an unsubscribe link, including a one-click unsubscribe control. If you are signed in, you can also turn the newsletter off on your account page. After you unsubscribe, we do not send later editions to that address.

We keep the email address, subscription status, consent time, and consent IP address while a signup is waiting for confirmation or while the subscription is active. After you unsubscribe, we keep that record so we can honor the unsubscribe and meet email-law recordkeeping. You can ask us to delete it by emailing investordatadigest@gmail.com.

Your rights & choices

Depending on where you live (e.g., California, Colorado, Virginia, and other states), you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or obtain a copy of your personal information, and to opt out of certain uses. To exercise any right — including deleting your account and associated personal data — email investordatadigest@gmail.com. You can unsubscribe from marketing emails using the link in any such email.

Data retention & security

We retain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service and meet legal obligations. Raw internal product-analytics events and attribution for checkouts that do not convert are retained for no more than 90 days. Converted campaign evidence is retained for no more than 24 months for aggregate campaign measurement and Stripe reconciliation. We delete or anonymize other personal information on a valid deletion request. We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, though no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.

Changes & contact

We may update this policy; material changes will be posted here with a new date. Questions or requests: investordatadigest@gmail.com.
