Privacy Policy

Effective date: September 1, 2026

Second Order Research (“SoR,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect through SecondOrderResearch.com, how we use it, and the choices available to you.

Information We Collect

When you subscribe, create a member account, contact us, or otherwise interact with the site, we may receive information such as your email address, membership status, subscription preferences, and information you voluntarily provide.

We may also collect limited technical information automatically, such as browser type, device information, pages viewed, referring pages, and general site-usage data through hosting, analytics, security, and similar technologies.

How We Use Information

We use information to:

  • deliver research, newsletters, and other content you request;
  • manage subscriptions and member accounts;
  • operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website;
  • understand how readers use SoR;
  • communicate with subscribers and respond to inquiries; and
  • comply with legal obligations and protect the rights and security of SoR and its users.

We Do Not Sell Your Personal Information

Second Order Research does not sell your personal information.

We do not provide subscriber information to advertisers in exchange for payment.

Email Communications

If you subscribe to SoR, we may send you research, publication updates, Compass insights, and other communications related to the publication.

You may unsubscribe from marketing or newsletter emails at any time using the unsubscribe link included in those messages.

Certain transactional emails—such as signup confirmations, account access links, or security notices—may still be sent when necessary to operate your account.

Service Providers

We use third-party service providers to operate portions of SoR, including website hosting, membership management, email delivery, analytics, security, domain services, and related infrastructure.

These providers may process information on our behalf as necessary to provide their services. Their handling of information is also governed by their own privacy policies and contractual obligations.

Cookies and Similar Technologies

SoR and its service providers may use cookies or similar technologies to keep the site functioning, maintain member sessions, understand site usage, improve performance, and protect against abuse.

Your browser may allow you to block or delete cookies, although doing so may affect some site functionality.

SoR research frequently links to company filings, regulatory documents, news organizations, technical sources, and other third-party websites.

We are not responsible for the privacy practices, security, or content of those third-party sites.

Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide our services, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and protect the security and integrity of SoR.

Your Choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights relating to your personal information, including the ability to request access, correction, deletion, or other restrictions on its use.

You may also unsubscribe from SoR email communications at any time.

Children’s Privacy

Second Order Research is intended for adults interested in investment research and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

Security

We use reasonable administrative and technical measures designed to protect information associated with the site.

However, no internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as SoR, its services, or applicable legal requirements evolve.

When material changes are made, we will update the effective date shown above.
