Privacy and cookies

Reading the publication
RIA Signals publishes public news and data coverage. Hosting services process request information to deliver pages and protect the site. Public reporting can name firms and advisers and link their public regulatory records; our methodology explains those sources.
Optional Google Analytics
With your permission, we use Google Analytics 4 to understand visits to public coverage. It receives page paths and titles, referring site origins, and browser and device information. Google processes network information as part of receiving those requests. We omit URL query values and fragments, and exclude reader account, sign-in, admin, and search pages from this tracking. Advertising storage and personalization are disabled in our tag.
Analytics stays off until you allow it. Your choice is saved in this browser. Use the Analytics settings button below to change it. Declining removes first-party Google Analytics cookies and stops this tag; clearing browser storage resets the choice. Learn more about Google's privacy practices.
If you allow analytics, we also measure successful newsletter requests and completed email confirmations. A short-lived receipt carries only the outcome and daily or weekly preference to the result page. Email addresses, subscriber identifiers and confirmation tokens are excluded from these analytics events.
Accounts and essential storage
Reader and editorial sign-in use essential session cookies. Reader accounts store email addresses, watchlists, alert preferences, and delivery records so those features can work. Editorial accounts are restricted to authorized users. The analytics choice does not disable essential sign-in storage.
Email newsletters
If you subscribe, we store your email address, daily or weekly preference, confirmation and consent records, and delivery status. Cloudflare Email Service processes confirmation emails and, when enabled, newsletter delivery. We store hashed confirmation and preference tokens and temporarily retain hashed request identifiers to limit signup abuse. Newsletters do not use open or click tracking. You can change your frequency or unsubscribe through links in every newsletter. Newsletter preferences are separate from watchlist alerts. Contact us to request deletion of your subscription data.
Questions and requests
Contact contact@riasignals.com about privacy, account data, or a public-record correction. Include enough information to identify the request, and avoid sending passwords or sign-in tokens.
