Privacy Policy

FTSE Pulse ("we", "us") is a web application that displays delayed UK and international market prices, regulatory news, and related tools such as watchlists, price alerts, and community discussion. For any privacy query, please use our contact page.

We only collect the information needed to provide the service:

• Account data — your name and email address when you register or sign in.
• Content you create — watchlist entries, price alerts, and chat messages you post.
• Usage data — basic analytics such as pages visited and events triggered, to help us improve the app.
• Technical data — IP address and browser information, collected automatically when you use the service.

• To create and manage your account and authenticate you.
• To display your personal watchlist and send price-alert notifications by email when a target is hit.
• To show your messages in the community chat alongside your account identity.
• To monitor usage, maintain security, and improve the service.
• To comply with legal obligations.

Where UK GDPR applies, we process your personal data on the basis of: performance of a contract (providing your account and features), our legitimate interests (security and service improvement), your consent (where you opt in), and legal obligation. You can withdraw consent at any time without affecting prior processing.

We do not sell your personal data. We share it only with service providers who help run the platform (such as hosting, email delivery, and authentication) under appropriate data-protection terms, and where required by law. Market prices are sourced from third-party providers such as Yahoo Finance; we only transmit your account data to a provider where necessary to deliver a feature you requested.

Some service providers process data outside the UK. Where this happens, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as UK International Data Transfer Agreements or the UK addendum to the EU Standard Contractual Clauses.

We keep your account data for as long as your account is active. Content such as price alerts and chat messages is retained while relevant and then deleted or anonymised when no longer needed, unless retention is required by law.

We use essential cookies and local storage to keep you signed in and to remember your preferences. Analytics may use cookies to understand usage. You can control cookies through your browser settings; disabling them may affect some features.

Subject to applicable law, you may request access to, correction of, deletion of, or portability of your personal data, object to or restrict certain processing, and withdraw consent. To exercise these rights, contact us via the contact page. If you have a concern about how we handle your data, you can complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).

We apply appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including access controls and encryption in transit. No method of transmission is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "last updated" date.
