Marketing Communications and Ad Consent

Service-Related Communications: By creating an account, you agree to receive service-related communications from 5amscoop, including but not limited to daily stock market summaries, account notifications, and important service updates. These communications are necessary for the operation of your account and the delivery of our service. Our newsletters are personalized based on your selected stocks and preferences to provide you with relevant market information.

Advertising in Newsletters: Our service is supported by advertising. By using 5amscoop, you agree that your experience may include sponsored content or advertisements within our newsletters and platform. Since our newsletters are personalized, advertisements may also be personalized based on your interests, usage data, or the content of your personalized newsletters. Where required under the GDPR and the ePrivacy Directive, personalized advertising is subject to your consent.

Optional Marketing Communications: You may also choose to receive additional promotional communications (such as product updates and special offers). This is optional and requires your separate consent, which you can withdraw at any time. Marketing consent is not required to use our service and is unchecked by default. Any consent you provide for marketing communications is recorded with a timestamp and the text version of the consent statement, in accordance with Article 7(1) of the GDPR.

Withdrawing Marketing Consent: You can withdraw your consent to marketing communications at any time without affecting your access to our service. You can manage your marketing preferences by:

  • Updating your preferences in your account settings
  • Clicking the unsubscribe link in any marketing email
  • Contacting us at [email protected]

Withdrawing your marketing consent will not affect your access to our service or your receipt of service-related communications, including newsletters that may contain advertisements as part of our ad-supported service model.

Data Storage

Your data is stored securely on our servers. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. Your cookie consent preference is stored in a cookie named cc_cookie for 182 days (6 months), after which you will be asked for consent again. Google Analytics 4 retains usage data for up to 14 months on Google's servers.

Data Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • With your explicit consent
  • To comply with legal obligations or court orders
  • To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property
  • With service providers who assist us in operating our service (under strict confidentiality agreements)

International Data Transfers: We use Google Analytics 4 (Google LLC, USA) to analyse website usage. Google acts as a data processor under a Data Processing Agreement and may transfer data to the United States. This transfer is protected by Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. For more information on how Google processes data, see Google's Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy. For other service providers located outside the EEA, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place in accordance with Articles 44–49 GDPR.
