TekInvestor makes that data available to others who can access the forum. You don’t have to provide this additional information, and you can erase it at any time.

Investment / portfolio data

Data is aggregated to generate the list of popular investments (TekIndex) and your trades and comments are visible to other users. You can delete investments from your portfolio at any time. This data may may be used to customise your user experience further in the future, by for instance showing you relevant information about the companies you follow, either on the web or in emailed reports.

TekInvestor stores your account data as long as your account remains open.

TekInvestor collects the content of your posts, plus data about bookmarks, likes, and links you follow in order to share that data with others, through the forum.

Does TekInvestor comply with the EU General Data Protection Regulation?

How can I change or erase data about me?
You can change your account data at any time by visiting the profile settings page for your account. The settings for a particular forum may also allow you to close your account, on the settings page for your account. Closing your account starts a process of erasing or anonymizing TekInvestor’s records of data you provided for your account. Forum administrators can also erase and anonymize accounts.

Please note that when you delete your account your posts will be anonymized, meaning that the posts will still be there to avoid gaps in conversations, but the username will be anon23456 etc.

Depending on the settings for your particular forum, you may also be able to edit, anonymize, or erase your posts. When you edit posts, TekInvestor will keep all versions of your posts. Forum administrators can view old versions of posts, and optionally make them visible to other forum visitors. Note that the content you post is public, and not regarded as personal data that can be deleted if you choose to remove your account.

Does TekInvestor make automated decisions based on data about me?

  • TekInvestor classifies posts as spam automatically.

  • TekInvestor uses data about your posts and other activity on many forums to make automated decisions about whether your posts are spam. When Akismet decides that a post is likely spam, the forum refuses to accept the post. If you think a post has been wrongly blocked or removed, contact an administrator of your forum. They can override the decision that a post was spam.

  • TekInvestor uses data about posts and activity to set trust levels automatically.

  • Depending on how administrators of your forum configure the forum, the forum may use data about your posts and activity to award you badges and calculate a trust level for your account. Your trust level may affect how you can participate in the forum, such as whether you can upload images, as well as give you access to moderation and management powers in the forum. Your trust level therefore reflects forum administrators’ confidence in you, and their willingness to delegate community management functions, like moderation. If you think your trust level has been set incorrectly, contact an administrator of your forum. They can manually adjust the trust level of your account.
