Privacy Policy
Effective Date: March 29, 2026
Welcome to Geconomy ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information is handled in a safe and responsible manner. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and protect your data when you visit our website (geconomy.online).
1. AI Transparency & Editorial Process
Geconomy is an independent publication focused on data-backed macro and market analysis. To provide high-quality, timely, and comprehensive insights, our lead analyst utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Large Language Models (LLMs) to assist in data aggregation, structural outlining, and the composition of articles. Please be assured: no personal data, browsing history, or user information collected from our readers is ever fed into these AI models or used for AI training purposes.
2. Information We Collect
We believe in data minimization and only collect what is strictly necessary to operate and improve our publication. The information we may collect includes:
- Automatically Collected Data: When you visit Geconomy, our servers automatically record standard technical logs. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, referring URLs, and the pages you view on our site.
- Information You Provide: If you choose to subscribe to a newsletter or contact us directly, we will collect the personal information you voluntarily provide, such as your name and email address.
3. How We Use Your Information
The data we collect is used strictly for the following administrative and operational purposes:
- To present our website and its contents to you securely and effectively.
- To analyze web traffic and reader behavior to improve our editorial focus and user experience.
- To send you updates or newsletters, provided you have explicitly opted in to receive them.
- To protect our website against malicious activity, spam, and unauthorized access.
4. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Geconomy uses basic cookies—small text files placed on your device—to ensure the site functions properly. These are primarily essential session cookies. We may also use basic, privacy-compliant analytics tools that use cookies to help us understand aggregate traffic patterns. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent.
5. Third-Party Links and APIs
Our articles frequently cite official macroeconomic datasets and utilize external resources (such as the World Bank Indicators API and FRED). Additionally, we may link to third-party news sources and financial institutions. Once you leave our website or click on a third-party link, you are governed by the privacy policies of those external sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other platforms.
6. Data Security
We implement commercially reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, please understand that no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure.
7. Your Data Rights
Depending on your location (such as under the GDPR in Europe or CCPA in California), you may have the right to:
- Request access to the personal data we hold about you.
- Request corrections to any inaccurate data.
- Request the deletion of your personal data.
- Withdraw consent for communications at any time.
8. Changes to This Privacy Policy
