Privacy
Last updated 22 September 2026
There are no accounts
You cannot sign up, and we never ask for your name, email address or anything else that identifies you. There is nothing to log in to.
Your watchlist stays in your browser
The stocks you follow, your theme preference, and which changes you have already seen are stored in your browser’s local storage. They are never sent to us and never leave your device. Clearing your browser data erases them, and they do not follow you to another device — because we have no way to connect the two.
The Discord bot works differently
Everything above describes the website. If your server uses our Discord bot, there is no browser involved, so its watchlist is kept on our server instead. That is the one place we store something for you rather than beside you.
For each server we keep three things: the tickers it follows, the channel its daily post goes to, and which trading session it was last sent. That is the whole record.
We do not store who used a command. No user IDs, no usernames, no message content, and the bot never asks Discord for permission to read your messages or your member list — it can only see the commands addressed to it. If someone asks for a ticker outside the S&P 500, we record the ticker so we know what is worth covering, alongside a one-way hash of the server’s ID. That tells us how many distinct servers wanted it and cannot be turned back into which ones.
Removing the bot from a server deletes its watchlist, channel and posting history immediately. The anonymous record that some server once asked about a ticker stays, because there is nothing in it to connect back to you.
If you make a personal watchlist
The bot can keep a watchlist for you rather than for a whole server. That means it has to recognise you between commands, so this is the one place we store anything tied to a person — and it is stored against a one-way digest of your Discord ID, never the ID itself. The file is a list of ticker symbols against digests, not a list of who uses this.
We would rather be precise than flattering about what that gets you: it is pseudonymous, not anonymous. We cannot turn a digest back into a Discord account, and we cannot produce a list of our users. But Discord IDs are not secret, so anyone who already had yours could check whether it appears. It stops the file being a directory; it does not make you untraceable to someone who already knows who they are looking for.
What is kept is the ticker symbols you added and nothing else — not your username, not which servers you are in, not anything else you type. Nothing is ever sent to you unasked. A personal list is shown only when you run the command yourself, and only to you.
/my clear deletes it immediately and completely. There is nothing else of yours to delete.
Counting how the bot is used
We count how often each command is run and which tickers are asked about, so we know what people find useful and which companies are worth covering. These are totals for a day, not a record of who did what.
To count how many distinct people and servers used it on a given day without being able to follow anyone between days, the digest we count is made from the day and the ID together. That means the same person produces a completely different value tomorrow. We can say “nine people used it on Tuesday”; we cannot say whether any of them came back on Wednesday, and we could not reconstruct it later if we wanted to.
Nothing about an individual is kept: no usernames, no history of what any one person looked up, no link between a person and a ticker. What is stored is a set of counts per day.
What our server sees
When a page loads market data, our API receives the request: the stock symbols being looked up, your IP address, and the usual request headers your browser sends to any website.
We keep a short-lived count per IP address, in memory, to stop automated scripts from exhausting the free data quotas this runs on. It holds a number, not a history of what you looked at, and it is discarded after an hour of inactivity. We do not write request logs to permanent storage.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics, which counts page views and where visitors arrived from. It does not use cookies, does not follow you across other websites, and does not build a profile of you. We use it to find out whether anyone is using this at all.
Where the data comes from
Prices and company news come from Yahoo Finance, discussion from Reddit’s public feeds, and additional news from MarketAux. Requests to those services are made by our server, not your browser, so they do not see your IP address. Following a link to an article takes you to that publisher’s own site, under their terms.
Your rights
Because we hold no account and no identifier for you, there is no personal profile to export, correct or delete. To remove everything this site has stored about you, clear its site data in your browser.
If you have a question about any of this, the whole project is open source and you are welcome to check the code: github.com/Princ3k/quantimental.
