Privacy Policy
What we collect
BuyOrBeSold.com is a personal publishing site. We collect the minimum required to operate it:
- Email address — only when you voluntarily submit it to the newsletter sign-up form. Stored in Vercel KV and/or Resend for the sole purpose of delivering the daily brief.
- Anonymous analytics — Vercel Analytics and Speed Insights collect aggregated, anonymous page view and performance data. No cookies, no personal identifiers, no cross-site tracking.
- Session cookie (admin only) — if you sign in to the trading journal as the admin, we set one HTTP-only cookie containing a signed JWT. This cookie is strictly necessary for admin access and is not used for tracking.
- IP address — temporarily, for rate limiting of sign-ups and sign-in attempts. IPs are never persisted long-term or associated with any identity.
We do not use third-party advertising networks or data brokers.
How we use it
Your email address is used only to send you the daily brief and, optionally, account-related messages (magic-link sign-in). We do not sell, rent, or share your email with anyone.
How to unsubscribe
Every newsletter email includes a one-click unsubscribe link in the footer (and a Gmail-native unsubscribe button at the top). Clicking it instantly removes your email from our list, and no confirmation is required. You can also email mario@buyorbesold.com to be removed manually.
Data we share with third parties
- Resend — receives your email so we can send you the newsletter. Their privacy policy is at resend.com/legal/privacy-policy.
- Vercel — hosts the site and the KV database. Their privacy policy is at vercel.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Public market data sources (Yahoo Finance, CoinGecko, Finnhub, alternative.me) never receive any information about you — they're queried from our server, not from your browser.
Your rights
You can request a copy of the data we have about you, or delete it, by emailing mario@buyorbesold.com. We'll respond within 30 days.
Changes to this policy
We'll update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page and, for material changes, notify newsletter subscribers by email.
