Data we may collect
RiskFact may collect limited information that is necessary to operate, secure, improve, and understand the use of riskfacts.org.
We do not ask you to provide sensitive financial account information, investment portfolio details, government identification numbers, payment card details, or passwords for third-party services. You should not submit such information through the website.

Cookies and similar technologies
riskfacts.org may use cookies and similar technologies to make the website function properly, remember limited preferences, understand website performance, and analyze how visitors use the content.
Cookies are small text files stored on your device. Some cookies may be necessary for basic website functionality, while others may support analytics or user experience improvements.
You can usually control or delete cookies through your browser settings. If you disable cookies, some parts of the website may not function as intended.
Web analytics with Matomo
RiskFact may use Matomo web analytics to understand how visitors use riskfacts.org, which pages are read, how users navigate the site, and how the website can be improved.
Matomo may collect information such as page URLs, page titles, referrer information, browser and device details, approximate location, visit time, and interactions with the website. Depending on the website configuration, Matomo may use cookies or may operate with reduced reliance on cookies.
Analytics data is used in aggregated or statistical form where possible. Matomo analytics helps us evaluate content performance and technical usability; it is not used to provide individualized investment recommendations or to profile visitors for trading or investment decisions.
Because Matomo can be configured in different ways, the exact analytics setup may vary. RiskFact does not claim that analytics is completely anonymous unless such configuration is specifically implemented and verified.
Purposes of processing
RiskFact processes information only for legitimate website, communication, analytics, security, and compliance purposes.
- To operate and maintain riskfacts.org.

- To understand which topics and formats are useful to readers.
- To respond to messages submitted through the contact form.
- To monitor website performance, detect technical problems, prevent abuse, and maintain security.
- To comply with applicable legal obligations and enforce website terms where necessary.
Transfer to third parties
RiskFact may share limited information with service providers that help operate riskfacts.org, such as hosting providers, analytics providers, security tools, maintenance contractors, or contact form infrastructure providers.
These third parties may process information only to provide services to the website and are not authorized to use the information for their own unrelated purposes.
RiskFact may also disclose information if required by law, legal process, regulatory obligation, or to protect the rights, safety, and security of the website, its users, or others.
RiskFact does not sell personal information as part of its ordinary operation as an informational content website.
Data retention
RiskFact retains information only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.
Analytics data may be retained for a period that allows us to compare website performance over time and improve content quality. Contact form messages may be retained for as long as needed to respond, manage follow-up correspondence, protect legitimate interests, or comply with legal obligations.
When information is no longer needed, it may be deleted, anonymized, or aggregated so that it no longer reasonably identifies a specific user.
