Privacy and site measurement

Updated October 18, 2026.

Guide and course requests

If you submit a form with permission to email you, we save your email address, the offer you selected, the page where you submitted it and the time of the request in WATCH.MARKETS’ database. Requests start unconfirmed. When delivery is enabled, we send your address and a confirmation message to AgentMail, our email delivery provider. Confirming requires a button press using a private link that expires after 24 hours. No payment or course enrollment is involved.

After a new request is saved, the form shows a private removal link. Confirmation emails also include a link to remove that request or confirmed signup. We encrypt queued email contents and store confirmation-token hashes. Accepted-message contents are cleared from the queue after a day. Message IDs and authenticated delivery, bounce and complaint states help us operate email delivery. No email open-tracking pixel is used. Keep that link if you want to remove the request later. Do not share it: anyone with the link can remove that request. We do not sell these email addresses.

First-party measurement

We use a random session identifier stored in your browser tab to count pages visited, guide engagement, calculator use, checklist opens, submitted requests and confirmed signups. A session expires after 30 minutes of inactivity. A new tab or device may count separately. We also save the first landing page, referring domain and simple campaign labels. We do not save the full referring URL, search queries, your calculator inputs or your IP address in these measurement tables.

We respect the browser’s Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control signals for optional session measurement. Forms still work when measurement is off. Confirmation and removal pages do not create new tracked sessions. Identified automated traffic and signed-in admin requests are excluded where detectable; these filters are not perfect. Server infrastructure may keep separate operational access logs.

What the numbers mean

A checklist open is a link click, not proof that a file was saved. An interest request is not a confirmed subscriber or a sale. Provider acceptance does not prove delivery: a delivered callback means the recipient mail server accepted it. A confirmed signup requires the button press and is attributed to the original request session when available. Removing a request does not erase the historical conversion event. AI referral traffic is recognized from referring domains when supplied by the browser; it does not measure how often an AI answer cites us.
