• About European Tech Equities

We use your email, account identifier, language, followed companies and research requests to provide the account services you choose. A sign-in provider may also supply your name and photo; we do not receive the password you use with that service. Profile details, including birth year, gender, investment experience and preferences, are optional and are not public. If you link accounts, we save that connection.

Accounts do not automatically subscribe you to emails. We count memberships, follows, research requests and confirmed subscriptions to understand interest and plan coverage. Companies may receive grouped totals, without reader identities or individual profile answers.

With your permission, we use followed companies, investor type, experience, holding period and research interests to suggest reading in your language. We do not use your identity, age, gender, investment amounts or browsing history for this, or send these inputs to an external recommendation service. Switch suggestions off under Profile → Language and email. This choice does not enable statistics, audience reports or emails.

With your separate permission under Investor profile, we link investor type, experience, holding period and approach with signed-in reading, content language, approximate country, follows and your linked newsletter subscription. Statistics must also be enabled. This helps us produce grouped reports for companies and potential commercial partners. It is optional and does not affect your account or access.

We record company-content visits, active reading time and newsletter campaign referrals. Names, emails, photos, age, gender and investment amounts are excluded. We do not store precise locations, IP addresses, full browsing URLs or email opens in these records. Companies receive no individual profiles or reading histories; reports need at least 10 participants and small groups are withheld. Linked visits last up to 90 days and permission expires after 180 days. Withdrawing it removes linked records; earlier visits are never linked retrospectively. Reports already shared cannot be recalled.

Emails require a confirmed subscription. We keep your email address, language, permission record and confirmation date to send them. Delivery failures and complaints help us stop unwanted mail. We do not track email opens or individual clicks. Unsubscribe through any edition, without signing in.

Unconfirmed requests are removed after 7 days, unsubscribed records after 30 days and delivery records after 90 days. Addresses blocked after a bounce or complaint stay on a suppression list to prevent further sending.

With your statistics permission, we measure visits, content language, company content, engagement and traffic sources using browser identifiers. We do not send names, emails, account IDs, investor-profile answers, search terms or sign-in tokens to the statistics service. We do not use these statistics for personalised advertising. Cookie settings lets you change this choice and control external share-price displays. The cookie details below explain storage periods and the separate hosting cookies these controls cannot switch off.

Specialist providers handle hosting, security, sign-in, email delivery, statistics and market-data displays. They receive information needed for those functions and may process it outside the European Economic Area, including in the United States. Their transfer arrangements include adequacy decisions and EU standard contractual clauses where applicable. Contact us for provider identities and details of the applicable safeguards. External links take you to websites with their own privacy notices.

We use account data to deliver the services you request. Optional suggestions, audience reporting, statistics and newsletters rely on consent. Our legitimate interests support website operation, security, handling enquiries and aggregate activity counts. We do not make automated decisions with legal or similarly significant effects on you.

Profile details, follows and requests stay until you remove them or request deletion. Deleting European Tech Equities profile data also removes linked audience records, but leaves your sign-in account and separate newsletter subscription active. Dated membership, follow and subscription action totals are kept for 13 months. Provider records follow their own retention periods; ask us for details.

We use the name, email and message you send us to answer your enquiry. Correspondence stays in our mailbox while we handle it; sending a message does not subscribe you.

You can request access, correction, deletion, restriction or a portable copy of your data, and object to processing based on legitimate interests. You can withdraw consent at any time; this does not undo earlier lawful processing. Email contact@europeantechequities.com. We may need to verify your identity. You can also complain to your national data-protection authority.
