VOO.us ("we," "us," or "our") respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit voo.us, how we use it, and your rights regarding that information.
Information We Collect
VOO.us is a static editorial website. We do not require you to create an account, and we do not collect personal information such as your name, email address, or payment details through the site itself.
We may automatically collect limited technical information through analytics and advertising services, including: your IP address (anonymized where possible), browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited and time spent on those pages, and general geographic location (country/region level).
Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use our site. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect and analyze information about site usage. This data is aggregated and anonymized. Google's use of this data is governed by Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Cookies
Cookies are small text files stored on your device by your browser. VOO.us may use cookies for analytics purposes (as described above) and through third-party advertising networks that display ads on our site. These cookies help measure ad performance and may be used to serve ads based on your browsing activity across websites.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies. Disabling cookies may affect your experience on certain websites but will not impact the core functionality of VOO.us, as our content does not require cookies to function.
Advertising
We may display advertisements on our site through third-party ad networks. These networks may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to serve ads relevant to your interests. We do not control the data collection practices of these advertising partners. For more information about targeted advertising and your opt-out options, visit the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out page.
Affiliate Links
Some pages contain affiliate links to brokerage platforms. When you click an affiliate link, the destination site may set its own cookies or collect data according to its own privacy policy. We may receive information confirming that a qualifying action (such as account opening) occurred, but we do not receive your personal or financial account details from affiliate partners.
Third-Party Links
Our site contains links to external websites, including Vanguard (investor.vanguard.com), brokerage platforms, and financial data providers. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
Your Rights Under GDPR (EEA/UK Visitors)
If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA) or the United Kingdom, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK GDPR, including the right to access the personal data we hold about you, the right to request correction or deletion of your data, the right to restrict or object to processing, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent where processing is based on consent.
Our legal basis for processing personal data through analytics is our legitimate interest in understanding how visitors use our site in order to improve it. For advertising cookies placed by third parties, the legal basis is consent, which you may withdraw at any time by adjusting your browser cookie settings or using the opt-out links provided above.
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at contact@voo.us. We will respond within 30 days. If you are unsatisfied with our response, you have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
