Privacy Notice
Last updated: 21 April 2026 · Legal basis summary: GDPR Art. 6(1)(a) consent for the newsletter, Art. 6(1)(f) legitimate interest for analytics and attribution.
Who we are
Veloris Capital is a two-person quantitative investment strategy operated by Ronny Wild and Lukas Schniepper under the Popular Investor program on eToro (username alphawizzard). This website publishes performance updates, market analysis, and statistical research for prospective and existing copiers.
Website analytics (Google Analytics 4 and Search Console)
We use Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic patterns (page views, sessions, referrers, rough geography). GA4 is configured with IP anonymization and data retention set to the minimum permitted. We also consult Google Search Console, which reports aggregate search-query data already anonymized by Google.
Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) in understanding site performance. You can block GA4 via any standard ad-blocker or the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Affiliate click attribution
When you click a link beginning with /go/ on our site (for example /go/weekly-apr-18), we record a server-side log entry before redirecting you to the destination. We log: the link slug, the referring platform (HTTP Referer header), the approximate country and region derived from Vercel's edge network headers, your browser type (user-agent), any utm_* parameters on the link, a bot-detection flag, and the timestamp.
What we do not collect: we do not persist your IP address (only country and region are derived at request time and stored); we do not set cookies for this purpose; we do not use fingerprinting; we do not combine this log with any third-party data source.
Legal basis: legitimate interest (GDPR Art. 6(1)(f)) in understanding which of our posts drive reader action, so we can prioritise the content our audience finds most valuable. A Legitimate Interest Assessment documenting this balancing test is on file and reviewed annually.
Retention: raw click records are kept for 13 months, then aggregated into anonymous monthly counts and the raw rows are deleted.
To avoid this logging: visit post URLs directly (for example /cockpit/[slug]) rather than using /go/ links, or copy and paste the destination URL from the redirect target without clicking the short link.
Newsletter and email communications
If you subscribe to our email list, we store your email address and the date of signup. We use these to send you performance updates and market analysis. Legal basis: consent (GDPR Art. 6(1)(a)). You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email; that removes you from the list immediately.
Email sends are delivered via Resend. Open and click events may be tracked per-recipient to measure which newsletter editions resonate; this is disclosed at signup and can be opted out of by replying to any newsletter.
External links (eToro, Twitter, YouTube)
Our redirect links point primarily to our eToro profile (alphawizzard). Once you arrive at eToro, that platform's privacy policy governs. We have no visibility into what eToro logs; their affiliate tracking is independent of ours.
Your rights under GDPR
You have the right to:
- Access a copy of personal data we hold about you (Art. 15)
- Rectify inaccurate data (Art. 16)
- Erase your data (Art. 17)
- Restrict or object to processing (Art. 18, 21)
- Data portability for newsletter subscriber data (Art. 20)
- Lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority (for EU residents) or the Swiss FDPIC (for Swiss residents)
For attribution click logs, we cannot link a specific row back to an individual in any practical sense (we never stored identifiers), so an access or erasure request for click logs will typically be met by deleting all rows within a time window you specify.
