Privacy statement
InsiderRadar is a facts site built on top of a public register. Reading it needs an account and a subscription; reading about it — how it works, what it costs, what we promise — does not, and that part sets no cookies at all. Whatever we do keep about you, we keep because you asked us to, and below is exactly what, why, and how you get rid of it again.
What we keep about you
- Newsletter. Your email address and the date you signed up, plus a confirmation code, an unsubscribe code and the current state (pending, confirmed, unsubscribed). Nothing else: no name, no IP address, no profile.
- Account. If you create an account, our authentication service stores your email address and an internal identifier. Setting a password is optional: with one, that same service also stores a hashed form of it, which neither we nor anyone else can read back; without one, a sign-in link is the way in.
- Subscription. If you have access to the paid pages we keep one record against your account identifier: whether it is active, which plan, until when, and where that answer came from. No amount, no payment details, no card, no invoice — those live with whoever handles the payment, and today that is nobody: access is granted by hand while the payment method is being chosen. Reading it is something only you and we can do, enforced by the database and not by our code.
- Send log. Per newsletter sent we record that you received it, so you do not get it twice. That hangs off your subscription and disappears with it as soon as you unsubscribe or delete your account.
- Watchlist. If you follow a company we keep three things: your internal account identifier, that company’s identifier (the LEI from the public register) and the moment you started following it. No notes, no reading behavior, no history of what you looked at. Only you can retrieve your own watchlist; that is enforced in the database itself, not just in the code.
- Filing alerts. These are off unless you switch them on yourself, on your account page. Once on, we keep four things: your account identifier, the address to deliver to, that the setting is on and since when. Per alert we then record that a particular filing went to you — that is what guarantees the same filing never reaches you twice. No email address is stored in that ledger, and it holds nothing beyond your identifier, the filing and the moment. Every alert has a one-click off switch that needs no sign-in and leaves your newsletter untouched.
- Fund managers you follow. If you follow a manager on the fund filings pages we keep the same three things: your internal account identifier, that manager’s identifier (the CIK the US SEC issues) and the moment you started following. One entry per manager, not per SEC filer identity. Only you can retrieve your own list, and that is enforced in the database itself.
- Fund filing alerts. A separate setting with a separate off switch, off unless you switch it on yourself. What we keep is exactly what is listed under Filing alerts above: the same four things, and a ledger that records only that a particular SEC filing went to you, without your email address.
- Members of Congress you follow. If you follow a member on the investors pages we keep the same three things: your internal account identifier, that member’s identifier (the key the House Clerk’s filings are published under, which is also the address of their page here) and the moment you started following. One entry per member, not per district: a member who moves district keeps the same entry. Only you can retrieve your own list, and that is enforced in the database itself.
- Congressional filing alerts. A separate setting with a separate off switch, off unless you switch it on yourself. What we keep is exactly what is listed under Filing alerts above: the same four things, and a ledger that records only that a particular filing went to you, without your email address.
- Your watchlist in the newsletter. If you have an account and follow companies, your newsletter opens with a block about those companies. For that we link your subscription to your account identifier and read your watchlist. Not a single new data point is added, and that block consists solely of facts that are visible to everyone on the site too, at the same moment. If you follow nothing, or have no account, you get exactly the same email as everyone else.
- Tying your subscription and your account together. If you first signed up without an account and later sign in with the same email address, we record your account identifier on that subscription. That lets you manage it from your account page and makes the block above work. No data point is added: that field already existed and had simply stayed empty. It only happens on an exact match of the email address — which the sign-in link proved you own — and never on a subscription that already belongs to someone else. If you would rather not have that link, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter on your account page or delete your account.
What we don’t do
- No tracking cookies. The register, the ranking and the track record work without a single cookie. Only when you sign in do we set a cookie that keeps you signed in — that is not tracking.
- No advertising, no visitor analytics, no reselling.
- No supplementing the names from the register with data from elsewhere. What you see is what the AFM publishes.
Why we are allowed to keep it
We use your email address only to send the newsletter you signed up for, or to make your account work. The legal basis is your consent (you confirm the sign-up yourself) for the newsletter, and performance of the service for your account. We send no email other than the one you asked for. Within that, we use your watchlist for two things, both of which you switch on yourself: starting your newsletter with the companies you chose, and — if you turn on filing alerts — telling you when a new filing at one of those companies becomes visible. The managers you follow are used for one thing, which you also switch on yourself: telling you when one of them files a new 13F. The members of Congress you follow are used for that same one thing, also only if you switch it on: telling you when one of them files a new report. Nothing else, and never about a company, a manager or a member you do not follow.
Who else sees it
Two parties, and only for this: Supabase (the database and the sign-in) and Resend (delivering the mail). They process your data on our instructions and not for themselves.
How you delete everything
- Unsubscribe from the newsletter: every email has an unsubscribe link at the bottom. One click, no sign-in needed.
- Stop following one company: remove it from your watchlist on your account page, or with the button on the company page. The row is deleted, not flagged.
- Stop following one manager: remove it from the list on your account page, or with the button on the manager’s page. The row is deleted, not flagged.
- Stop following one member of Congress: remove them from the list on your account page, or with the button on that member’s page. The row is deleted, not flagged.
- Stop the filing alerts: the off switch at the bottom of every alert, or the button on your account page. The three kinds — companies, fund managers and members of Congress — have their own switch and their own off link, none of them touches another, and none of them touches your newsletter.
- Delete your account and everything attached: sign in and choose “Delete account” on your account page. That immediately erases your account, your subscription, the companies, managers and members you follow, all three alert settings and all three send histories — including the ledgers, which the pipeline itself never deletes from. Your own request stands above that rule.
- Prefer email? Send a request to teunf98@gmail.com and we will delete your data.
Your rights
You have the right to access your data, to correct it, to have it deleted, and to withdraw your consent. Since we only keep your email address, access is short: it is the address these emails arrive at. Questions? Email teunf98@gmail.com.
