What this site records
No advertising, no data sold or shared with brokers, no cross-site tracking and no profiles built on anyone. What is collected is traffic measurement and an email list, and both are described below in enough detail to act on.
Traffic measurement
This site uses Google Analytics 4. It sets cookies in your browser and records which pages you opened, roughly where you were (derived from your IP address, which Google truncates before storing), and what browser and device you used. A randomly generated identifier lets it recognise the same browser across visits.
That is personal data in the ordinary sense of the term, and it is worth saying so rather than claiming otherwise. What it is not is anything that identifies you by name: nothing is asked of you, nothing is typed in, and the analytics data is never joined to the email list. It is read in aggregate — which pages are worth writing more of, and which search terms bring people here.
To opt out, block cookies for this domain in your browser, use any content blocker, or install Google’s own opt-out extension. Nothing on this site stops working if you do; there is no gate and no paywall.
The email list
If you subscribe, your email address is stored by Buttondown, which sends the newsletter. The address is used for that and nothing else: it is never sold, rented, or passed to anyone, and it is not joined to the analytics data. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and unsubscribing deletes the address.
Server logs
The site is served by Firebase Hosting, which keeps standard web server logs — IP address, time, the file requested — as every web server does. They are used to tell whether the site is up and to diagnose errors.
The share price
Pages showing a live quote fetch it from this site’s own endpoint, which asks a market data provider for the price and passes it back. Nothing about you is sent in that request, and the provider is not told who asked. The endpoint exists so that the data provider’s key stays on the server instead of in the page source, where anyone could read it.
Your choices
To see, correct or delete anything held about you, or to ask a question about any of the above, write to intrinsicvaluepershare@gmail.com. If you are asking for an email address to be removed, unsubscribing does it immediately and you do not need to ask.
This page describes the site as it currently runs. If what is collected changes, this page changes with it.
