Privacy Policy

NotABigShortGuy.com is an anonymous, pseudonymous trading journal. This site is built with privacy as a default — not as a compliance exercise. The following describes exactly what data, if any, is collected when you visit this site.

This policy applies to all public visitors of notabigshortguy.com.

No personal data is collected from public visitors. This site does not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other identifying information. There are no sign-up forms, no comment sections requiring registration, and no user accounts for public visitors.

Visiting this site does not require you to provide any personal information. You can read all content anonymously.

No cookies are set for public visitors. This site does not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or session cookies for general visitors.

A technical session cookie may be set for authenticated admin access (used solely for site administration). This cookie is not accessible to or set for any public visitor. It contains no personal information about you.

If analytics are added to this site in the future, this policy will be updated to reflect that, and any analytics implementation will be disclosed here with full detail of what is tracked.

At the time this policy was last updated, no third-party analytics service (including Google Analytics, Plausible, Fathom, or similar) is installed on this site. No visitor tracking, page view logging, or behavioral analytics are in use.

Web server logs, if any are generated by the hosting infrastructure, may record standard connection metadata (such as IP address and timestamp) as part of normal server operation. These logs are not used to profile visitors and are not shared with third parties.

This site does not display third-party advertising. No ad networks have access to your data through this site. No retargeting pixels or tracking scripts are embedded on behalf of advertisers.

This site contains links to external websites, including brokers, trading platforms, educational resources, and other third-party services. Once you leave notabigshortguy.com by following an external link, you are subject to the privacy policies of that third-party site.

This site has no control over and accepts no responsibility for the privacy practices of external sites.

This site may embed content from third-party sources such as YouTube, TradingView, or similar platforms. Embedded content behaves as if you visited those platforms directly and may set their own cookies or collect data per their own privacy policies.

Where possible, privacy-preserving embed options (such as YouTube's no-cookie mode) are used.

Intentionally, no direct contact method is provided on this site. This is consistent with the anonymous nature of the brand. The author does not wish to be identified and does not accept unsolicited contact.

If you have a privacy-related concern that cannot wait, check public repositories or platform profiles linked from this site for any listed contact method. No response is guaranteed.

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). No content is designed for or targeted at minors. Financial content on this site discusses complex, high-risk activities not suitable for minors.

This policy may be updated at any time. The effective date at the bottom of this page reflects the date of the most recent revision. Continued use of this site after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

Changes will generally reflect new features, services, or legal requirements. Privacy will not be made worse without disclosure.
