DualEdge is a personal stock research and analysis project built and operated by one person, not a company. This page explains what information the site collects, why, and what happens to it.
If you just browse the site — the scanner, Daily Scan, Movers, Theme Watchlist, Earnings Calendar, and everything else — no account is required and nothing that identifies you is stored. The site does count page views; see Visit counts below.
If you create an account, DualEdge collects:
DualEdge does not collect your name, home address, phone number, date of birth, government ID, payment information, or physical location. There's no reason for a stock-scanner account to need any of that, so it doesn't ask.
To know roughly how many people use the site, DualEdge records each page load from a normal browser: the page address and the time. It also stores a visitor code made by running your IP address and browser type through a one-way hash that uses a secret key and changes every day. The IP address and browser type themselves are not stored. Because the code changes daily, it can count how many distinct visitors came on a given day, but it cannot link your visits across days or identify you. There are no tracking cookies and no third-party analytics scripts. Visits by the site's owner are not counted.
DualEdge uses one cookie: a session cookie that keeps you logged in. It's marked HttpOnly (JavaScript on the page can't read it) and Secure (only sent over HTTPS). There are no advertising or third-party tracking cookies anywhere on the site.
DualEdge is built on a few outside services, each with a specific, limited role:
DualEdge does not sell, rent, or share your email or account information with advertisers or data brokers. It never has, and that's not a business model this site is pursuing.
Your email and account are used only to:
Your account is never used to send marketing email, and there are currently no plans to add that.
Account information is kept for as long as your account exists. You can delete your account yourself from your Profile page. That removes your account, your watchlist, your journal entries, and your public journal link permanently. When an account is created or deleted, the site also records that the event happened and when, with no email or other identifier, so the owner can count how many accounts have existed. Visit counts contain no account information, so they are not tied to any account.
Passwords are hashed, never stored in plain text. The site runs over HTTPS. Login attempts are rate-limited to slow down automated guessing. No security measure is perfect, but these are the concrete ones in place today.
DualEdge is not directed at children under 13, and the site does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 13. If you believe a child has created an account, contact the email below and it will be removed.
Separately from privacy: nothing on DualEdge — momentum scores, setup signals, backtests, or anything else — is individualized investment advice. See Methodology and Terms of Use for the full context.
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, the "last updated" date at the top of this page will change. Continued use of the site after an update means you accept the revised policy.
