Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 9, 2026

Overview

BasisPoint ("we," "our," or "us") operates the website at basispoint.net. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website, including our financial tools and blog content.

Financial Calculations — Local Processing

All financial calculations on BasisPoint are performed entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. No financial data (buy price, sell price, quantities, or results) is ever transmitted to our servers. Your financial inputs remain completely private on your device.

Information We Collect

While our core financial tools do not collect any data, we do use the following services to maintain and improve our free website:

  • Google Analytics (GA4): We use Google Analytics to understand general usage patterns such as page views, device types, and geographic regions. Google Analytics may set cookies to distinguish users and sessions. No personally identifiable information is intentionally collected.
  • Local Storage: We use your browser's local storage to save preferences (such as language and currency settings). This data never leaves your device.

Cookies and Advertising

To support our free service, we display advertisements through Google AdSense. These services use cookies and similar technologies to serve ads based on your browsing history. Specifically:

  • Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites.
  • These cookies collect de-identified web browsing data — not your financial calculation inputs.
  • You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings.

Important: Our core financial calculation tools run entirely in your browser. No financial data is transmitted to any server. However, the advertising networks embedded on this site may use cookies to collect de-identified browsing data to serve relevant ads and support our free service.

Cookie Consent (EEA, UK, and Applicable Regions)

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or other regions where cookie consent is required by law, we will display a cookie consent banner before setting any non-essential cookies. You may:

  • Accept or reject non-essential cookies (including advertising cookies)
  • Withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie preferences via the consent banner
  • Continue to use the website with essential cookies only

If you do not consent to non-essential cookies, no advertising cookies will be set, and only limited or no advertisements will be displayed.

Your Rights Under GDPR (EEA and UK)

If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

  • Right of Access: Request a copy of the data we hold about you.
  • Right to Rectification: Request correction of inaccurate data.
  • Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten").
  • Right to Data Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format.
  • Right to Object: Object to processing of your data for specific purposes.
  • Right to Restrict Processing: Request limitation of how your data is used.

Since BasisPoint does not collect personal financial data, these rights primarily apply to data collected by Google Analytics and advertising cookies. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email address below.

Legal Basis for Processing: We process data based on legitimate interest (analytics) and consent (advertising cookies).

Your Rights Under CCPA (California)

If you are a California resident, you have the following rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA):

  • Right to Know: Request disclosure of the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected.
  • Right to Delete: Request deletion of personal information we have collected.
  • Right to Opt-Out: Opt out of the "sale" of personal information. Note: we do not sell personal information in the traditional sense, but ad-related data sharing may qualify under CCPA's broad definition.
  • Right to Non-Discrimination: We will not discriminate against you for exercising your CCPA rights.

To exercise your CCPA rights, contact us at admin@basispoint.net.

Children's Privacy

BasisPoint is not directed to individuals under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EEA). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
