The Investment Club is a student run club at our school. This site is a independently developed by Neal and community resource, not a business, so this policy describes everything with full transparency.
What we collect, and why
- The name you enter in the Portfolio Simulator. This is stored in your browser and sent to our database so it can appear on the shared Leaderboard, visible to anyone who visits the site. You have to use your real name to recive a prize.
- Your simulated portfolio (cash balance, holdings, trade history). This stays only in your own browser's local storage. We never receive it, and it doesn't sync to our database or appear anywhere else.
- Whether you've acknowledged the site's disclaimer. Stored only in your browser, so it doesn't ask again. Once you click I agree it will never appear again
- Organizer email and password, only if you sign in as a club President or Vice President to manage meetings.
- Stock ticker symbols you search (in Research, Calendar, or the Simulator) are sent to our market-data providers: Finnhub and Polygon.io(now known as Massive) to look up prices. No personal information is sent along with these searches.
What we don't do
- We don't use tracking cookies or advertising scripts.
- We don't sell, rent, or share any information with advertisers.
- We don't require an account or a name to use the, quiz, or research tools.
- We dont have access to actual stocks you purchase with real money.
Who can see what
Anything you submit to the Leaderboard (your chosen name, portfolio value, and return percentage) is public, and visible to anyone who visits the Leaderboard page. Everything else described above either stays in your own browser or is only visible to club organizers.
Where information is stored
Leaderboard entries and the meeting schedule are stored with Supabase, a third-party database provider. We take safety precautions with how this is configured, but as with any online service, we can NOT guarantee 100% security.
Third-party services this site uses & use cases
- Finnhub and Polygon.io(Massive) : live and historical stock market data
- Supabase : the database behind the shared Leaderboard, meeting schedule, and organizer sign in
- Google Forms : used for the gift card donation link on the Leaderboard page
Each of these has its own privacy policy governing how they handle data on their end.
Questions
If you have questions about this policy or want information removed (for example, your name taken off the Leaderboard), reach out to a club officer in person or via email: Theinvestmentclub52@gmail.com or our faculty advisor, Mr. Vogel.
Changes to this policy
If how this site handles information changes meaningfully, we'll update this page and the "last updated" date above.
