Privacy

Fraktalicious is published by Fraktalicious Research. This page says what we collect, why, where it goes, and how to get rid of it. It is short because we collect very little — there is no account system, no login, and no advertising on this site.

What we collect

• Page counts. We use Vercel Web Analytics, which is cookieless and does not build a profile of you. It records the page, referrer, country, browser and device type in aggregate. It does not set a cookie, so this site has no cookie banner.
• Page speed. We also use Vercel Speed Insights, from the same provider and under the same terms: cookieless, aggregate, no personal data. It records how fast pages actually load for real visitors (Core Web Vitals) so we can find and fix slow pages — it does not identify you individually.
• A second, simpler page count of our own. Each page pings our own server with the page address and the site you arrived from — the domain only, never the full link, because a full link can contain your search terms. It is written to our server log and nothing else. No cookie, no stored identifier, nothing that distinguishes one visitor from another. It exists only because we cannot read the Vercel numbers automatically, and we would rather count our own pages than guess at what to build.
• Your email address, only if you type it in. If you sign up for the weekly email we store your address and the IP address you signed up from. The IP is kept as the record that you consented, and as a spam signal — it is not used to locate or profile you.
• Server logs. Our host keeps ordinary request logs for a short period.

We do not collect your name, your wallet, your holdings, or anything about your portfolio. We never ask for them, and you should not send them to us.

Where your email goes

The email list is held by Buttondown, our email provider, and nowhere else. It is not stored in this site's own systems. When you sign up we send you one message asking you to confirm; if you do not click it, you hear nothing further from us and your address stays unconfirmed.

We do not sell, rent, or share your address. We do not send other people's advertising to you. If we ever add an affiliate link to the email it will be disclosed in the email itself, at the link.

Getting out

Every email has a one-click unsubscribe link, and it works immediately. If you would rather we deleted your address entirely, or you want a copy of what we hold, email hello@fraktalicious.com and we will do it. You do not need to give a reason and there is nothing to cancel — the list is free.

If you are in the EU or UK

Our lawful basis for emailing you is your consent, given by submitting the form and confirming via the link we send. You can withdraw it at any time using the unsubscribe link or the address above, and withdrawing it does not affect anything that happened before. You have the right to access, correct, or erase what we hold, and the right to complain to your national data-protection authority.

A note on what this site is

Fraktalicious is a research and analytics tool. Nothing on this site or in the email is financial advice, and we do not give individual advice — if you write to us with a question about your own portfolio, we will not answer it. That is a deliberate limit, not rudeness.

Changes

If this page changes materially we will say so in the weekly email rather than quietly editing it.
