Privacy notice
This notice covers the HRC Algo website: anonymous website statistics, the risk-disclaimer popup before Telegram links, and the sign-up form on the landing page. It does not replace the privacy terms of external services (Telegram, Calendly, brokers). Last updated 19 October 2026.
Who is responsible
Joran van Ree / HRC Algo is responsible for the processing described here. For privacy questions or requests concerning your data, email joranhrc@gmail.com.
Website statistics (anonymous)
We count how the website is used so we can improve it: page visits, which named sections come into view, first use of the calculator controls, clicks on Telegram or Calendly links, what happens in the risk-disclaimer popup (shown, closed, accepted, which of the three statements were ticked, how long it was open, whether the text was scrolled to the end) and whether the sign-up form was sent. The basis for this is our legitimate interest in understanding and improving our own website; the statistics have minimal privacy impact and are not used to identify or follow individual people.
Each event contains only fixed labels: page, language, section or control name, popup state, and a traffic-source label. The traffic-source label comes from utm_ parameters in the link you clicked (for example "youtube" or "instagram_story"); it tells us which channel brought you here, not who you are. Calculator amounts, names, email addresses, form answers, link text, full URLs, referring pages and your IP address are never included. We do not record sessions or screens, do not set analytics cookies, do not build person profiles and do not share these statistics with advertisers.
A random identifier is kept in your browser's sessionStorage for the duration of the browser tab, so that events from one visit can be counted together. It is not a permanent visitor identifier and disappears when the tab is closed. Because there is no consent banner, you can block these statistics with a browser setting or content blocker that stops requests to eu.i.posthog.com; the website works the same without them.
Risk-disclaimer popup
Before any link to our Telegram community opens, a popup shows our risk disclaimer and asks you to confirm three statements. If you continue, the time, the text version and the language of your confirmation are stored in your own browser's localStorage so that the website can remember it. This record stays on your device; we only receive the anonymous counts described above.
Sign-up form on the landing page
If you fill in the sign-up form, your name, email address, your answer to the trading-capital question, the language and page, and the traffic-source label are sent to and stored by our hosting provider Netlify (Netlify Forms) and are accessible to HRC Algo. Netlify also records the IP address, browser type and the page address (including any utm_ parameters) with each submission. We use this to contact you about joining the community and to see which channels lead to sign-ups. The basis is the steps you take to join the community and our legitimate interest in following up. Submissions are kept for up to 12 months after the last contact unless you ask us to delete them earlier.
Storage and service providers
Statistics go directly to PostHog EU Cloud (hosted in Frankfurt). PostHog is set to discard client IP addresses and GeoIP enrichment is disabled; no person profiles or session recordings are requested. Network communication necessarily exposes technical connection data to the receiving service; this is not a claim of complete anonymity. Form submissions are stored by Netlify. The website host, Netlify, also processes requests and server logs to deliver the site.
PostHog documents a seven-year analytics event query-retention window for paid plans. This is a query-access limit, not an automatic deletion. For requests concerning your data, including deletion, contact us at the address below.
Your rights and contact
Email joranhrc@gmail.com with a privacy question or a request for access, correction or deletion of your data, restriction of processing, objection or data portability, where applicable. You may also complain to the competent data protection authority. We assess requests and may ask for information reasonably needed to identify the relevant data. Because the statistics use a random tab identifier rather than your name or email address, we may not be able to associate a statistics event with you; form submissions can be found by email address.
Other services
Following a Telegram, Calendly, broker or other external link opens a separate service with its own privacy terms. This notice does not cover those services. Telegram shows us, per invite link, how many people joined through it; it does not tell us who clicked on the website. General community contact remains available via Telegram; use the email address above for privacy requests.
