Information we collect
When you browse the website
Our web server automatically records standard access log entries for each request: your IP address, the date and time, the page or file requested, the referring page, and your browser's user-agent string. We do not combine this with other information to identify you.
When you search for a stock
The list of stock symbols is downloaded to your browser and matched there, so the letters you type are not sent to us. When you open a stock page, its address (for example /stocks/msft.html) appears in the access log like any other page.
When you use our calculators or widgets on another website
Other websites can show our free calculators and stock widgets, either with our embed code or with our WordPress plugin, Quotelinks Investing Calculators. When you open such a page, your browser loads the calculator or widget from quotelinks.com. We receive the same access log data as for any page on this website (IP address, date and time, browser user-agent string, and the address of the page that shows it), plus the calculator’s settings and starting values, which are part of its address. Ticker symbols you enter in a stock calculator are sent to us to look up price data. The numbers you type into a calculator are processed in your browser and are not sent to us. The calculators and widgets set no cookies, do not use your browser’s local storage and contain no advertising or analytics trackers. The website that shows them is responsible for its own privacy practices.
When you use our APIs or create an API key
Requests to our data APIs at api.quotelinks.com are recorded in the same kind of access log, including the address requested and, if you use one, your API key. If you create a free API key at /api/key/, we store the e-mail address you enter, the optional description of what the key is for, the date and time the key was created, and a one-way (hashed) form of your IP address that we use only to limit how many keys can be created. We do not verify the e-mail address and do not send marketing e-mail. The sign-up form is protected by Cloudflare Turnstile, which runs a short check in your browser; Cloudflare processes that check under its own privacy policy.
When you email us
If you write to us, we receive your email address, your message and anything you choose to include. We use this only to reply and to provide support.
When you buy software
Orders for our software are processed by a third-party e-commerce and payment provider. We receive the details needed to deliver and support your license, such as your name, email address and order information. We never receive or store your full payment card details.
Cookies and local storage
Quotelinks does not set cookies and does not store information in your browser's local storage. We do not use advertising networks, analytics services, tracking pixels or social media plugins.
How we use information
- To operate the website and deliver the pages you request
- To keep the website secure, prevent abuse and diagnose technical problems
- To answer your questions and provide software support
- To issue and manage API keys, prevent their misuse, contact key holders about their key or about changes to the APIs, and resend a lost key on request
- To issue and manage software licenses
- To comply with legal obligations
Third parties
Market data is requested by our server from our data provider, EOD Historical Data (EODHD). Your browser does not connect to EODHD, and we do not send them any information about you.
Some older pages of this website load charting libraries from public content delivery networks (jsDelivr and unpkg). When you open those pages, your browser connects to those services, which receive your IP address and browser details under their own privacy policies. We are moving all such files to our own server.
Traffic to api.quotelinks.com passes through Cloudflare, which protects and caches the API, and the API key sign-up form uses Cloudflare Turnstile. Cloudflare processes this data on our behalf and under its own privacy policy.
News headlines link to third-party websites. When you follow a link, the other website's privacy policy applies.
We share personal information with service providers only as needed for them to work on our behalf (for example, web hosting and order processing). We may disclose information if required by law or to protect our rights and the security of our services. We do not sell or rent personal information to anyone.
How long we keep information
Server access logs are kept only as long as needed for security and troubleshooting, and are then deleted. API key records, including the e-mail address, are kept while the key exists; we delete them on request or when we retire the key. Emails and license records are kept for as long as needed to support you and to meet legal and accounting requirements.
Security
The website is served over HTTPS, so pages and data are encrypted in transit. We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we hold, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
Your choices and rights
You can use Quotelinks without giving us any personal information. You may ask us to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you, such as your emails, license records or API key records. To delete an API key and its e-mail address, write to us from that address. Depending on where you live, privacy laws such as the GDPR or the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) may give you additional rights. To make a request, email us at the address below. We will respond within the time required by applicable law.
Children's privacy
Quotelinks is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 13 years of age. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. If we make significant changes, we will update that date and describe the change on this page.
