Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 3, 2026

Bear Mar­ket Trad­er (“we,” “us,” or “our”) oper­ates the web­site locat­ed at: https://bearmarkettrader.com. This Pri­va­cy Pol­i­cy out­lines our data pro­to­cols regard­ing the col­lec­tion, use, and dis­clo­sure of per­son­al infor­ma­tion when you inter­face with our site.

Com­ments When vis­i­tors leave com­ments on the site, we col­lect the data shown in the com­ments form, along­side the visitor’s IP address and brows­er user agent string to facil­i­tate spam detec­tion. An anonymized string cre­at­ed from your email address (also called a hash) may be pro­vid­ed to the Gra­vatar ser­vice to ver­i­fy usage. The Gra­vatar ser­vice pri­va­cy pol­i­cy is avail­able here: https://automattic.com/privacy/. After approval of your com­ment, your pro­file pic­ture is vis­i­ble to the pub­lic in the con­text of your comment.

Media If you upload images to the web­site, you should strict­ly avoid upload­ing images with embed­ded loca­tion data (EXIF GPS) includ­ed. Vis­i­tors to the web­site can down­load and extract any loca­tion data from images on the website.

Con­tact Forms When you uti­lize our con­tact forms, we col­lect the per­son­al infor­ma­tion you sub­mit, such as your name and email address. This data is strict­ly rout­ed to our admin­is­tra­tive inbox­es for com­mu­ni­ca­tion pur­pos­es. It is nev­er sold, leased, or dis­trib­uted to third-par­ty mar­ket­ing databases.

Cook­ies and Caching Pro­to­cols We uti­lize cook­ies to opti­mize load times, main­tain serv­er-side caching equi­lib­ri­um, and man­age user sessions.

• If you leave a com­ment on our site, you may opt-in to sav­ing your name, email address, and web­site in cook­ies for your con­ve­nience. These cook­ies will last for one year.
• If you vis­it our login page, we will set a tem­po­rary cook­ie to deter­mine if your brows­er accepts cook­ies. This cook­ie con­tains no per­son­al data and is dis­card­ed when you close your browser.
• When you log in, we will set up sev­er­al cook­ies to save your login infor­ma­tion and your screen dis­play choic­es. Login cook­ies last for two days, and screen options cook­ies last for a year. If you select “Remem­ber Me”, your login will per­sist for two weeks. If you log out of your account, the login cook­ies are imme­di­ate­ly removed.
• If you edit or pub­lish an arti­cle, an addi­tion­al cook­ie will be saved in your brows­er indi­cat­ing the post ID of the arti­cle. It expires after 1 day.

Embed­ded Content from Oth­er Web­sites Arti­cles and dai­ly mar­ket logs on this site may include embed­ded con­tent (e.g., exter­nal charts, videos, images, or arti­cles). Embed­ded con­tent from oth­er web­sites behaves in the exact same way as if the vis­i­tor has vis­it­ed the oth­er web­site. These exter­nal nodes may col­lect data about you, use cook­ies, embed addi­tion­al third-par­ty track­ing, and mon­i­tor your inter­ac­tion with that embed­ded content.

Data Reten­tion Archi­tec­ture If you leave a com­ment, the com­ment and its meta­da­ta are retained indef­i­nite­ly. This is so we can rec­og­nize and approve any fol­low-up com­ments auto­mat­i­cal­ly instead of hold­ing them in a mod­er­a­tion queue. For users that reg­is­ter on our web­site, we also store the per­son­al infor­ma­tion they pro­vide in their user pro­file. All users can see, edit, or delete their per­son­al infor­ma­tion at any time (with the excep­tion of their struc­tur­al user­name). Web­site admin­is­tra­tors also pos­sess the glob­al per­mis­sions to see and edit that information.

Your Data Rights If you have an account on this site, or have left com­ments, you can request to receive an export­ed file of the per­son­al data we hold about you. You can also request that we erase any per­son­al data we hold about you. This strict­ly excludes any data we are legal­ly oblig­ed to keep for admin­is­tra­tive, tax, or secu­ri­ty purposes.

Where We Send Your Data Vis­i­tor com­ments and form sub­mis­sions may be checked and fil­tered through an auto­mat­ed spam detec­tion ser­vice pri­or to reach­ing our admin­is­tra­tive database.

Data Pro­tec­tion and Secu­ri­ty The struc­tur­al integri­ty of your data is crit­i­cal. We deploy stan­dard serv­er-side encryp­tion and caching prox­ies (such as Var­nish) to pro­tect against unau­tho­rized access. How­ev­er, you must acknowl­edge that no method of trans­mis­sion over the Inter­net, or method of elec­tron­ic stor­age, is 100% secure.
