Last updated: July 2026

Information we collect

When you sign up for stock alerts, we may collect your email address, your selected alert preferences and technical information needed to manage your subscription.

If you contact us, we may collect your name, email address, reason for contact and message content.

How we use your information

To send requested stock alert emails.
To manage confirmations, unsubscribe requests and alert preferences.
To respond to contact form messages.
To improve the website and understand which product categories are useful.
To help prevent abuse, spam or misuse of the service.

Email alerts

Stock alert emails are sent only to people who sign up. Every alert email should include an unsubscribe link. You can unsubscribe at any time.

Affiliate links

Some links on PingTheShelf may be affiliate links. Affiliate networks or retailers may use cookies or tracking technologies to record qualifying purchases. Their own privacy policies will apply when you visit their websites.

Cookies and analytics

PingTheShelf may use cookies or similar technologies for essential website functions, analytics and affiliate tracking. A more detailed cookie notice can be added when the final analytics and affiliate tools are confirmed.

How long we keep data

Email subscription data is kept while the subscription is active. If you unsubscribe, we may keep limited suppression data so we do not accidentally email you again.

Sharing information

We do not sell personal information. We may share limited data with service providers needed to operate the website, such as email delivery providers, hosting providers, analytics services and affiliate networks.

Your rights

You can ask to access, correct or delete personal information we hold about you. You can also unsubscribe from alert emails at any time using the link included in emails.

Contact

Questions about this privacy policy can be sent through the contact page.

Note: This is a practical draft for launch preparation. It should be reviewed and updated once the final email provider, analytics tools and affiliate networks are confirmed.
