Privacy and local tool inputs

The site is designed to read without an account. The research tools process their inputs in your browser.

What the site does

PipBriefing is a static information publication. This edition has no accounts, payment system, broker login collection, newsletter signup or reader contact form. It includes no analytics, advertising pixels, remote fonts, third-party embeds or social widgets.

The site itself sets no cookies and uses no localStorage or sessionStorage. There is no marketing consent banner because this edition does not install optional tracking. Your browser and any extensions you choose to use have their own behaviour.

Calculator, filters and comparison

The cost calculator runs locally in the browser. Entered size, spread, commission, conversion rate and currency are not sent to a broker or a PipBriefing server. Inputs are not saved between visits by the application.

Directory filtering uses the content already on the page. The comparison tool requests a small broker-data file from the same website; it does not call an external API. A profile link may include a broker identifier in the comparison page URL to select the initial column. This identifier is public, not a customer account or personal profile.

Your browser may retain page URLs, including query strings, in its history. The minimal access logs described below omit query strings. Do not place personal information in a URL or enter broker credentials anywhere on this site.

Hosting and technical logs

The website is hosted on an AlexHost VPS in Moldova and served by Nginx. Minimal access logs record the timestamp, HTTP method, URL path without its query string, response status and response bytes. These access logs do not include IP addresses, user-agent strings or referrers and are retained for up to seven days.

Critical error logs can contain technical diagnostics, including request or connection details. They are separate from the minimal access log. The hosting provider may separately process operations, network or security information under its own policies; this notice does not assign a retention period to the provider’s separate records. No analytics or CDN is used for this website. Hosting logs are separate from the calculator’s local processing.

Links to other websites

Broker and regulator links lead away from PipBriefing. The destination controls any cookies, forms, account applications or data collection there. Reference links are not affiliate tracking links in this edition. External links use a referrer restriction so a destination does not receive the full originating page URL through a link referrer.

You should read the destination’s privacy information before submitting information there. PipBriefing does not receive a copy of an external broker application or control that provider’s customer records.

Email contact and privacy questions

For privacy questions or source corrections, email info@pipbriefing.click. Messages to this address are handled through Dynadot email forwarding and Gmail/Google mail services. Your sender address, message body and any other information you choose to include are processed to respond to the question or assess the correction. Email handling is separate from local tool processing and the access-log retention period. These mail providers may process messages under their own policies; no message-retention period is asserted here. Do not include passwords, identity documents or broker account records.

The application holds no account records or saved calculator inputs to retrieve. There is no web contact form. This notice describes the website and does not claim that messages are anonymous or that the access-log retention period also governs email.

Changes to this notice

This notice covers the initial edition prepared on 9 November 2026 and its stated hosting and contact arrangements. Adding a contact form, analytics, advertising or a stored preference would require an updated notice and an assessment of any consent requirements before the feature is introduced.
