Privacy Policy

Effective August 21, 2026. The short version: this site has no accounts, collects no names or emails, and sells no data. We use standard analytics to understand how the site is used, and some links are affiliate links.

What we collect

HowManyTradingDays.com is an informational site. You cannot create an account, and we never ask for your name, email address, or payment details. The information collected is limited to standard, largely anonymous usage data gathered by the analytics services below: pages visited, approximate location (country/city derived from IP), device and browser type, how you arrived at the site, and how you interact with pages (clicks, scrolling, time on page).

Analytics services

We use Google Analytics to measure traffic (pages viewed, visit sources, engagement time). Google Analytics sets cookies to distinguish visitors. You can opt out with the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

We use Microsoft Clarity to understand how visitors use the site through heatmaps and anonymized session replays (mouse movement, clicks, and scrolling). This site has no text inputs for personal information, so replays do not contain personal data. See Microsoft's privacy statement for how Clarity processes data.

Affiliate links and advertising

Some links on this site are affiliate links, marked as sponsored. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. The destination site may set a cookie to attribute the referral. We may also display advertising in the future; if we adopt an advertising network, this policy will be updated to describe its data practices.

Cookies

Cookies on this site come from the services above (analytics and affiliate attribution). We set no cookies of our own for tracking. You can block or clear cookies in your browser settings at any time; the site works fully without them.

The API

Requests to our free API are handled like any web request: our hosting provider (Vercel) processes standard request logs (IP address, timestamp, endpoint) to operate and protect the service. We do not use API requests to build profiles of callers.

Your rights

Depending on where you live (for example, the EU under GDPR or California under CCPA), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal data. Because this site does not maintain accounts or store personal profiles, there is typically nothing for us to look up — the analytics data we hold is not identifiable to you by us. For anything related to Google's or Microsoft's processing, their privacy controls linked above are the effective path. You can also reach out with any question via the contact below.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes and contact

If our practices change (for example, adding an advertising network), we will update this page and its effective date. Questions? Reach out on X @itschrisray.
