Privacy Policy

Anonymous visitor statistics

The first-party quant_visitor Cookie provides a random anonymous identifier for visitor counts and feedback rate limits. Unique visitor statistics ignore query strings and count each anonymous browser once per path. Page views (PV) count successful browser page loads, including refreshes; site-wide counts by UTC+8 date and article counts by canonical article path and UTC+8 date are retained long-term, without visitor identifiers or request-level histories. Article totals combine both languages and show their tracking start date; earlier article PV were not recorded. The Cookie lasts at most two years; visitor records are pruned after 24 months of inactivity. The database does not store IP addresses or raw User-Agent strings. Bots are deduplicated using a one-way hash of their User-Agent; this is a technical estimate, not identity verification.

Company-following on the former earnings page has been retired. No new follows are collected or published. Existing anonymous records remain subject to their original 730-day expiration cleanup.

Main site, tools and CURIO

Page views include growthyoung.com, tools.growthyoung.com and curio.growthyoung.com. Since October 23, 2026, we also retain daily main-site and tools-site PV totals, without visitor identifiers or individual request histories. Earlier totals remain unattributed because the site dimension was not recorded. Browser navigation to a different page or tool also counts; formatting, copying and selecting the current tool do not. The tools landing page and its explicit JSON URL count as the same view during in-page navigation. The anonymous Cookie is host-only, so the same person may have separate identifiers on the two domains; combined visitor counts are not cross-domain deduplicated people. Tool inputs are processed in the browser and are not collected by these statistics.

CURIO PV tracking began on November 4, 2026. Its browser reports visible page loads and navigation; failed or blocked reports may be missed. It creates no analytics cookies or visitor identities and does not contribute to unique visitor counts. Only daily totals are retained long-term. Random delivery IDs prevent duplicate retries and are deleted after 24 hours on subsequent visits, without user identities or page paths. Search terms, saved products, IP addresses and raw browser headers are not stored in the counter. Earlier CURIO history was not collected.

API and Skill request aggregates

From October 15, 2026, origin requests to API and Skill files are aggregated by UTC+8 date, channel, route family, HTTP method and response status. These anonymous totals are retained for historical charts and are separate from browser page views. The optional X-Research-Client header declares Skill use; it is not an identity or authentication credential. We do not store its raw value, query content, IP, User-Agent or visitor identifier in these aggregates. Cache hits that do not reach the content service are not counted; earlier traffic cannot be reconstructed by channel.

Historical game data

Daily Wonder has left the main navigation. Earlier game progress may remain in your browser's localStorage; clear this site's data in browser settings to remove it. Retiring a page does not delete data already stored on your device.

The game's anonymous engagement records use a one-way visitor hash and daily event flags, without moves or scores. Their existing retention limit is 90 days. Anonymous browser identifiers do not identify verified individuals.

Text and Voice Feedback

Feedback includes its category, optional nickname, text or audio, submission time and a one-way hash of an anonymous identifier. Only the site operator uses it for suggestions and corrections. Submissions, including historical text and audio, are not publicly accessible. Do not include sensitive personal information.

Feedback records are retained as needed to handle suggestions, corrections, and abuse prevention. You may request deletion by email; we may ask for the message ID, date, or content details to verify the request.

Claude network diagnostic tool

Checks run only after you press Start. Your browser directly contacts Claude/Anthropic and Cloudflare trace endpoints, the official Claude status page and IPQuery; WebRTC contacts Cloudflare's public STUN service. Those providers see network addresses and handle requests under their own policies. IPQuery receives the observed Claude and site exit IPs for reputation lookup. No Claude login, API key, microphone or camera access is requested. Device signals (timezone, language, fonts, Canvas, WebGL and emoji hashes) are computed in the page and are not sent to this site's backend.

Results normally remain in the current tab. Optional exit history is stored only in this browser's localStorage, capped at 20 scans; entries older than 30 days are pruned when the tool opens or saves a scan. It stores exit IPs, regions and times, not fingerprints, and can be cleared in the tool. Full IPs are hidden by default and copied or downloaded reports follow that setting. The separate DNS test uses four random names in our dedicated zone. Our Singapore authoritative service temporarily records recursive resolver IPs, query types and times in memory for three minutes, without query logs. It does not see your browsing history or ordinary DNS queries. ASN attribution uses Team Cymru DNS TXT via Cloudflare DoH, with a one-hour in-memory IP attribution cache. Country denotes registration, not physical location. DNS results are included in masked exports but not local history. Anonymous page-view statistics remain separate from diagnostic results.

Advertising

When enabled, Google AdSense loads only on research article pages. The homepage, market radar, blog listing, game, feedback and legal pages do not load ad code. Retired strategy URLs no longer serve article content or advertising. Google and its partners may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses or other identifiers for advertising, measurement and fraud prevention, and may personalize ads based on visits to this or other sites.

You can manage personalized ads in Google Ads Settings. For how Google processes data from partner sites, see its partner-sites explanation. For visitors in the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and Switzerland, the site obtains applicable choices through Google Privacy & Messaging or another certified consent-management platform.

Infrastructure and External Links

Cloudflare, hosting providers, and network operators may process connection information such as IP addresses and request metadata to transmit traffic, secure the service, prevent attacks, and operate infrastructure. After you follow a news source or other external link, that site processes information under its own privacy policy.

Security, Minors, and Your Choices

The site uses HTTPS, restricted service accounts, data minimization, and other safeguards, but internet transmission and storage cannot be guaranteed absolutely secure. The site is not directed at minors and does not actively request identity documents, financial accounts, or precise location. You may disable or delete Cookies; doing so may cause anonymous visits to be counted again and may affect feedback submission.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

To access, correct, or delete information associated with your feedback, or to object to its processing, contact the email address above. Because visit statistics use a random anonymous identifier and retain no identity information, a deletion request may require the corresponding identifier from your browser to locate the record.

Policy Updates

When data-processing practices materially change, this page and its effective date will be updated. Review this page before continuing to learn the latest rules.
