Privacy Policy

The short version: FinSach collects almost nothing. We don't track you, we don't use analytics or advertising cookies, and we never sell your data. The main personal information we collect is your email address — and only if you choose to give it to us.

Who we are. FinSach is operated by FinSach Pvt Ltd, a company registered in India. You can reach us at support@finsach.com.

What we collect.

• Your email address — when you subscribe to the Pre-Market Pulse, when you request a definition on our Explainer page, when you request a decode, when you send us a message through the Get help form, or when you create an account. Your name — only if you use Sign in with Google. That's the only personal information we ask for.
• The term you request — if you use the "request a definition" feature, we receive the word or phrase you typed, so we can write and add it.
• What you ask us to decode — if you use the “request a decode” form, we receive the text you type describing the public event, filing, policy or circular; the link, if you add one; and your email address, so we can tell you if it's published. Like feedback, a decode request reaches us as an email to support@finsach.com rather than our database, so it sits outside anything we delete from there — to have one removed, email support@finsach.com.
• Your Pulse feedback — if you tap 👍 or 👎 in a Pulse email, we receive the vote and which edition it was; your comment, if you write one; and your email, only if you choose to add it. We don't know who you are unless you tell us. Feedback reaches us as an email to support@finsach.com rather than our database, so it sits outside anything we delete from there — to have a feedback message removed, email support@finsach.com.
• When you ask for help — if you use the Get help form, we receive the message you type and your email address, so a person can reply. Like feedback, it reaches us as an email to support@finsach.com rather than our database, so it sits outside anything we delete from there — to have one removed, email support@finsach.com.
• Temporary technical data — when you use certain features, we briefly read your IP address to prevent spam and abuse (rate-limiting). We do not store it.

Accounts. Signing in is optional. If you create an account, we store your email; your name, only when you use Sign in with Google; and a session record to keep you signed in. We do not store a profile photo, and your device never requests one from Google — signed-in users get a simple neutral avatar. We do not retain Google access tokens after signing you in, and we do not store your IP address or device details against your account.

Your watchlist. If you build a watchlist, we store the stock symbols you add — on your device when you're logged out, and linked to your account when you're signed in, so it's there on every device. We treat this as sensitive: it can reflect what you own or follow. We use it only to show you your own list and to tailor which disclosures we surface to you — we never sell it, share it, or use it to build a profile of you. It is deleted with your account through the same erasure path (email support@finsach.com).

What we do NOT collect. We do not use Google Analytics or any analytics tool. We do not use tracking or advertising cookies. We do not track your browsing or build a profile of you. We do not use open-tracking pixels in our emails, or record whether you opened one. We do not collect your phone number, location, or payment information. We do not collect your name unless you choose to sign in with Google. As an ordinary logged-out visitor, we set no cookies — and the only things we ever keep in your browser are functional (see “Browser storage” below), never an identifier and never for tracking.

Cookies. As a logged-out visitor, we set no cookies. When you sign in, we set one strictly-necessary cookie to keep your session — never for tracking or advertising.

Browser storage. Separately from cookies, we keep a small number of functional values in your browser's local storage — never an advertising identifier, and never used to track you across sites. They are: your watchlist (the stock symbols you add, described above); the one stock you most recently looked up, kept so it carries with you across the site as you read about it; and a flag that records you've subscribed to the Pulse from this browser — set when you subscribe here, or when you open the site from a link in the Pulse email — so we don't ask you to subscribe again. These hold only your own list, a stock you chose, or a simple yes/no — no email, no name, nothing that identifies you to us or that we can read back as a person — and, exactly as with your watchlist above, we never sell them, share them, or use them to build a profile of you. Clearing your browser data removes them.

A code in Pulse email links. Links in the Pre-Market Pulse email carry a short code that identifies the edition — the same code for everyone who received that edition. It tells us only that you arrived from a Pulse email, so we don't ask you to subscribe to something you already get. It carries nothing about you, it is not a per-reader identifier, and we cannot tell who you are from it. If you open a link like this, we set the same “subscribed on this browser” flag described above; we store nothing else.

How we use it. We use your email to send you the Pre-Market Pulse (if you subscribed), to respond to a definition, decode, or Get help message you send us, or to sign you in (if you have an account). That's it. We don't use it for anything else.

Referrals.

If you share FinSach with a personal referral link and someone subscribes through it, we record that the two subscriptions are connected, so we can credit the referral. We store this as coded identifiers derived from email addresses — not the addresses themselves — with the time it happened. We use it only to credit referrals and to catch abuse, such as someone referring themselves. A referral link never reveals your email address to anyone, we place no cookies for it, and we add no tracking pixels to our emails.

Who we share it with. We use a small number of trusted service providers to run FinSach:

• Resend (United States) — our email provider, which stores our subscriber list and delivers our emails.
• Zoho (United States) — our business email provider, which hosts support@finsach.com and so receives and holds the messages you send us, including definition requests, decode requests, Get help messages and Pulse feedback.
• Turso (India, ap-south-1) — our database provider, which stores the market-data history behind the Pulse, the coded referral records described above, and your account, session, and watchlist records.
• Vercel — our hosting provider, which serves the website and keeps standard server logs (which include IP addresses, as all web hosts do).
• Google — only if you choose Sign in with Google, to authenticate you and pass us your name and email.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to anyone, for any reason.

A note on market data. FinSach shows market information (prices, disclosures, flows) sourced from public exchanges and data providers. This is market data — it is never linked to you or your identity.

Your choices. You can unsubscribe from the Pulse at any time using the link in any email. To have your email removed from our records entirely, email us at support@finsach.com.

Changes. As FinSach grows and adds features, we may update this policy to reflect new practices. We'll update the date above when we do.
