Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 2026

EnergyRiskIQ ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our service.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only the minimum information necessary to provide our service:

• Email address: Used for account creation and alert delivery
• Alert preferences: Your selected regions, thresholds, and notification settings
• Telegram Chat ID: Only if you opt into Telegram notifications
• Usage data: Basic technical data collected automatically when you visit our site (pages viewed, browser type, IP address, cookie identifiers) — see Section 3 for details on cookies, analytics and advertising

2. How We Use Your Information

Your information is used exclusively to:

• Deliver risk alerts and notifications based on your preferences
• Send daily or weekly digest emails (if enabled)
• Communicate important service updates
• Improve our service quality and reliability

3. Cookies, Advertising and Analytics

We use cookies and similar technologies (such as web beacons, local storage, and IP addresses) on our website. These are used for the following purposes:

• Essential cookies: Required for core functionality such as keeping you signed in to your account.
• Analytics: We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site (pages visited, time on site, approximate location derived from IP address). This helps us improve our service.
• Advertising: We display advertising served by Google AdSense on our public pages.

Google AdSense and third-party advertising

• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
• Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.
• You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings (My Ad Center). Alternatively, you can opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info (or www.youronlinechoices.eu for EU users).
• For details on how Google collects and uses data when you use our website, see How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services.

Consent for users in the EEA, UK and Switzerland

Where required by law (including the GDPR and the EU user consent policy), users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are asked for consent before advertising or analytics cookies are set. You can withdraw or change your consent at any time, and you can also control cookies through your browser settings, including deleting existing cookies and blocking new ones. Where consent for personalized advertising is not given, ads may still be shown on a non-personalized basis (which may use cookies solely for frequency capping, aggregated reporting, and fraud prevention).

Managing cookies

Most browsers allow you to refuse or delete cookies via their settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of parts of our service (for example, staying signed in).

4. Children's Privacy

Our service provides professional energy-market intelligence and is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your country). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not serve interest-based advertising to users known to be under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will delete it.

5. Data Sharing

We do not sell or rent your personal information. We may share data only:

• With service providers necessary to operate our platform (email delivery, hosting, payment processing)
• With advertising and analytics partners as described in Section 3 (Google AdSense, Google Analytics), in the form of cookie identifiers and usage data — we do not pass Google any information that it could recognize as personally identifiable
• When required by law or to protect our legal rights

Payment information is handled directly by our payment processor (Stripe) and never touches our servers.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

7. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by contacting us.

8. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Request deletion of your account and data
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications and for advertising/analytics cookies
• Object to or restrict certain processing, and lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority (for EEA/UK users)
