Privacy Policy

Last updated: 9 July 2026

This policy is a plain-language template, not legal advice. It hasn't been reviewed by a lawyer. Before relying on it publicly, especially if you expect visitors from the EU/UK (GDPR) or California (CCPA) in addition to Australia (Privacy Act 1988), have it checked by a professional.

What this site is

TheInvestoBee.com is a personal trading journal and free tools site operated as part of Direct28Media. This policy explains what data is collected when you visit, why, and what choices you have.

Cookies & analytics

We use Google Analytics (GA4) to understand how visitors use this site — pages viewed, general location (country/region level), device type, and how you arrived here. This helps us improve the site and the tools on it.

Analytics only loads after you accept cookies via the banner shown on your first visit.
IP addresses are anonymised before being processed.
You can decline analytics cookies at any time via the banner, or by clearing your browser's local storage for this site.
Google's own privacy practices for Analytics are described at policies.google.com/privacy.

Email & mailing list

If you register for the free trade-log template or subscribe to journal updates, your email address is stored with our email service provider so we can send you the content you signed up for. We don't sell or share your email address with third parties for their own marketing.

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link. You can opt out at any time.

Affiliate & referral links

Some links on this site (currently CommSec, IBKR, and Wise) are referral/affiliate links. If you sign up through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We only link services we actually use ourselves. This is disclosed again directly in the Resources section of the homepage.

The Analyzer & Markets data

The Analyzer screener and the Markets Overview panel pull free, publicly available market data from Yahoo Finance to compute the figures shown. No personal data is sent as part of these requests — only the ticker symbols you choose to look up, processed on our own server.

What we don't do

We don't sell your personal data.
We don't use tracking for advertising retargeting.
We don't collect financial account details, passwords, or trading credentials — nothing on this site ever asks for those.

Your rights

You can ask what data we hold about you, ask us to correct it, or ask us to delete it, by contacting us using the details below. If you're in the EU/UK, you have additional rights under GDPR; if you're in Australia, the Privacy Act 1988 applies to how we handle your information.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site changes — for example, if we add a new analytics or email tool. The "Last updated" date at the top will always reflect the latest version.
