Privacy policy
What Octans Capital collects when you use this site, what we do with it, and what we deliberately do not do. This page is short because we collect very little.
Last updated: 2026-07-11
What we collect
A newsletter email, if you subscribe. When you sign up for The Octans Brief, we store the email address you enter and the time you subscribed. That is the whole subscriber record. It lives in our own database, on servers we operate — not in a third-party marketing platform.
Standard server logs. Like any web server, ours records requests — the page requested, the time, the requesting IP address — in ordinary server logs on our own infrastructure. Our API and feeds also rate-limit by IP address; those counts are held transiently in memory to enforce the limit and are not kept.
Reading the site requires no account, and we ask for nothing else. There is no sign-up wall, no profile, and no form on this site that asks for anything beyond that one optional email address.
Cookies
This site sets exactly one cookie, and readers never receive it: octans_admin, set only when a member of our staff signs in to the internal admin area. It is HTTP-only, expires after 12 hours, and exists solely to keep that staff session signed in. Browsing, reading, searching, and subscribing set no cookies at all.
There are no tracking cookies, no third-party analytics scripts, and no advertising or ad tech anywhere on this site. We do not build reader profiles, and we have no analytics vendor to share your behavior with.
What we do with your email
One thing: sending The Octans Brief, our research newsletter. The Brief has not launched yet — until it does, your address simply sits on the subscriber list, unused. We never sell your email address, and we never share it with anyone outside Octans Capital.
Retention and deletion
We keep your email address until you ask us to remove it. To unsubscribe, or to have your record deleted entirely, email research@octanscap.com from the address in question and we will delete it. Server logs are operational records and are rotated in the ordinary course of running the site.
Children
This site publishes securities research and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors; if you believe a minor has subscribed, email us and we will delete the address.
Changes to this policy
If what we collect or how we use it changes, we will update this page and the Last updated date above first. The version on this page is always the one in effect.
