Who we are
assetDCA (https://assetdca.com) is a free, educational investment-simulation website operated by [ YOUR NAME OR BUSINESS NAME ], based in France. For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), [ YOUR NAME OR BUSINESS NAME ] is the data controller for this site. You can reach us any time at [ your-real-email@example.com ].
The short version
The simulator runs entirely in your browser. We have no user accounts, and the contribution amounts, allocations and assumptions you type into the simulator are never sent to us or stored on a server — they stay on your device. The only data questions worth explaining are about local browser storage and advertising cookies, covered below.
What we store on your device
We use a small amount of first-party browser storage that is necessary for the site to function and remember your preferences. It is not used to track you across other websites:
- Theme preference (assetdca-theme) — remembers whether you chose light or dark mode.
- Consent choice (assetdca-consent) — remembers whether you accepted or declined advertising/analytics cookies, so we don't ask again on every visit.
Cookies and advertising
assetDCA is supported by advertising. We use Google AdSense to serve ads, which helps keep the tools free. In connection with this:
- Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website and other sites.
- Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you. You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via Google Ads Settings.
- You may also opt out of a third party's use of cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or, in the EU, at youronlinechoices.eu.
For more on how Google uses information from sites that use its services, see Google's partner-sites policy and Google's advertising policies.
Consent in the EEA and UK
If you visit from the European Economic Area (EEA) or the UK, advertising and analytics cookies are set to denied by default and load only after you accept them through our consent banner. You can change your mind at any time by clearing the assetdca-consent value in your browser, which will prompt the banner again. We rely on Google Consent Mode to honour these choices.
Legal bases for processing (GDPR)
- Consent (Art. 6(1)(a)) — for advertising and any analytics cookies.
- Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f)) — for the functional storage that makes the site usable, and for basic security and abuse prevention by our hosting provider.
Third parties we rely on
- Google AdSense — advertising. See Google's Privacy Policy.
- Our hosting provider — serves the static site and may process server access logs (including IP addresses) for security and reliability.
Your rights
Under the GDPR you have the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict or object to processing of your personal data, the right to data portability, and the right to withdraw consent at any time. Because we don't operate accounts or store your simulator inputs, most requests relate to cookies, which you can control directly in your browser. To exercise any right, email [ your-real-email@example.com ]. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority — in France, the CNIL.
Children
assetDCA is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site evolves — for example, when advertising goes live or a new service is added. Material changes will be reflected in the "last updated" date above.
