What we collect

Your email address and the answers you type after you join the early list.

Technical details sent with your signup: the page you joined from, the site that referred you, any campaign tags in the link, your browser language and screen width, your browser type, and an approximate location (country, region, city and time zone) derived from your connection. We store a scrambled (salted and hashed) form of your IP address, not the address itself.

Events about how you move through the signup, such as which step you reached. A first-party cookie named __os_anon holds a random ID so we can tell visits apart without knowing who you are. It lasts up to 180 days.

Your browser's session storage keeps your place in the signup for up to a day. It stays on your device.

When you submit your email, a Cloudflare security check (Turnstile) runs in your browser to confirm you are a person.

Our public pages use Google Analytics to count visits and see which pages people read. It sets cookies whose names start with _ga, which last up to two years, and receives page views along with details such as your browser, device type and approximate location. Google Analytics 4 does not log or store IP addresses. We turn off Google's advertising features, and the signup steps and confirmation pages do not load it. We do not run advertising trackers. We never ask for your broker login, balances or positions.

Why we collect it

We use your email to send the link that confirms it, and to contact you about what you asked for. We read your answers to decide what to build. The technical details help us see which pages bring people in and keep out bots and abuse.

Who sees it

We do. We use Cloudflare to host this site, check that signups come from people and store data, Resend to send email, and Google for visit statistics on public pages. A notification about each signup, with your email address masked, may also be sent to us through Telegram. It can show your approximate location and what you typed.

We never publish your words or name without asking.

We do not sell it

We do not sell your personal information or share it for advertising.

How long we keep it

We keep it until you ask us to delete it.

Delete your data or unsubscribe

Write to [email protected] from the address you joined with. Tell us to delete your data or to stop emailing you. We handle these requests by hand and aim to finish within 30 days.

Age

OptionStart is for people who are at least 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18.

Not investment advice

OptionStart is not a broker-dealer or investment adviser. Nothing on this site is investment advice or a trade recommendation.
