Effective November 2026.
This page explains what information Fintrev handles, where it goes, and what you can ask us to do with it. We collect very little, so the page is short.
What we collect through forms
We receive personal information only when you choose to send it through one of our forms:
- Reviews and comments: the text you write and the details the form asks for. Nothing is published until an editor approves it.
- Newsletter sign-up: your email address and the topic you choose.
- Contact messages: your name, email address and message, sent through the form on the Contact page.
Submissions are stored on our own server. We do not ask for payment details, identity documents or account numbers. Please do not include them in a message.
IP addresses
When you submit a form, we do not store your IP address in plain form. We keep only a salted one-way hash of it. A one-way hash is designed so the original address cannot be recovered from it. We use it to limit spam and abuse.
Moderation and notifications
When something is submitted, our editors get a notification through a Telegram bot. That notification contains the submission, so an editor can approve or reject it. In practice, this means the content of your submission passes through Telegram as part of that message.
Favorites and local storage
You can tap the heart on a firm to mark it as a favorite. The site sends that action to our server so we can keep a public favorites count. Your own list of favorites stays in your browser’s local storage, not on our server.
Local storage also keeps:
- your chosen time zone
- your portfolio holdings, if you use the wallet tracker
You can clear this data through your browser settings. Doing so removes your saved favorites and preferences from that browser.
Wallet tracker
The wallet tracker asks public blockchain nodes and mempool.space for balances directly from your browser. The addresses you enter are not sent to our server. Those outside services receive the lookup request from your browser, not from us.
Cookies
We do not use analytics, advertising or tracking cookies. We do not load third-party analytics or ad scripts. The site shows no display advertising.
Server logs
Our web server keeps standard access logs. These record the IP address, the time, the page requested and the browser. We use them for security and to keep the site running.
Who we share data with
We do not sell personal information. We do not work with ad networks, and we do not pass your data to advertisers. Fintrev currently has no paid partnerships and no affiliate links. For details, see the Advertising disclosure.
Telegram is the one outside service involved in handling submissions. It carries the moderation notification described above. Once an editor approves a review or comment, it is public on the page where it appears, and anyone reading that page can see it.
Your choices
You decide whether to submit anything. You can read the whole site without filling in a form.
To have a submission corrected or deleted, send a request through the Contact form. Tell us which submission you mean, for example the page it was on and the name you used, so the editors can find it. Contact messages reach the editors.
You control the data kept in your browser. This covers favorites, time zone and wallet holdings. Clearing local storage for our site removes it.
Changes to this policy
If we change how we handle information, we will update this page and the effective date at the top. Please check back here if you want to see the current version. Questions about this policy can go through the Contact page. For how we write and check our content, see our Editorial policy.
