Privacy Notice.
1. Information you choose to provide
- Free report delivery: if you request Report No. 001 or another download through Lemon Squeezy, that provider receives the information you enter for delivery. DFB may receive limited customer or fulfillment information made available by the provider.
- Research Desk inquiries: if you submit the Research Desk form, FormSubmit processes the name, optional organization, email, inquiry type, message, proposal terms and acknowledgement you enter, for delivery to the configured recipient. Its handling of submissions is described in the FormSubmit privacy policy. For questions about an inquiry or its personal information, contact dividendforensics@gmail.com.
- Direct email: if you use a mail link, your email provider handles the transmission and DFB receives the information you include.
2. Public-site technical data
The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. Hosting and network providers may process ordinary request information such as IP address, device or browser information, requested URL and timestamps for delivery, security and operations under their own privacy terms. DFB does not operate a separate server log database for the public site.
The site currently loads web fonts from Google Fonts. A visitor’s browser therefore makes requests to that service when those fonts are loaded.
3. Cookies, local storage and tracking
The current DFB site code does not set DFB cookies, create a DFB local-storage profile, run behavioral advertising, fingerprint readers, or use session replay. Because no behavioral tracking is implemented by DFB on the public site, DFB does not use a separate “Do Not Track” preference mechanism.
If the site later adds analytics, authentication, a member portal or other tracking-capable functionality, this notice will be updated before that change is treated as part of normal operation.
Calculator and research worksheet inputs and downloads
Calculator and research worksheet inputs are processed in your browser tab. DFB does not send these inputs to a server or save them in cookies or local storage. Calculator CSV files and research-note text downloads are generated locally when you request them. Research worksheet entries are not saved automatically; printing or saving a PDF uses your browser. The site publishes a static AdSense ownership-verification meta tag on its homepage and an ads.txt authorized-seller record. These records do not execute a Google advertising script, transmit calculator inputs, or set cookies. Google ad serving is not enabled in the site code; advertising and any required consent tools will need a corresponding privacy update before activation.
4. Payments and membership status
DFB membership is currently in preparation and is not open for payment. DFB therefore does not currently collect membership billing information through this site.
If a paid DFB product later uses Lemon Squeezy or another payment provider, payment-card or bank details will be handled by that provider rather than stored by the public DFB site. The applicable provider and data flow will be disclosed before paid enrollment opens.
5. How DFB uses information
Information voluntarily supplied to DFB is used to deliver the requested material, respond to an inquiry, provide support, maintain records required for operations, and send promotional messages only where the relevant consent or other lawful basis exists. Requesting a free file is not described on this site as automatic consent to unrelated marketing.
6. Data sharing and sale
DFB does not sell reader personal data to data brokers or advertising platforms. Information may be processed by service providers used to host the site, deliver a requested file, receive a form submission, send email, or process a future transaction. Each provider operates under its own terms and privacy notice.
7. Retention and reader requests
DFB aims to keep personal information only for as long as needed for the purpose for which it was collected, support, recordkeeping, or applicable legal obligations. Depending on applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, objection or withdrawal of consent.
Privacy requests can be sent to dividendforensics@gmail.com. DFB may need enough information to verify the request and locate the relevant record.
8. Updates
This notice applies to Dividend Forensics Bureau at dividendforensics.com. It will be revised if the site’s collection practices, membership delivery, payment provider or other material data flows change.
