1Who publishes this
Asymmetric Investor is published by Asymmetric Intelligence Limited, a company incorporated in Gibraltar with company number 126707, whose registered office is Unit G02, Eurocity, Europort Avenue, GX11 1AA, Gibraltar. "We", "us" and "our" mean that company.
2What this is, and what it is not
Asymmetric Investor publishes macroeconomic data, indicator readings and directional macro analysis. It is a research and analysis publication. It is not investment advice, and we are not authorised or regulated as a financial adviser in any jurisdiction.
- We do not name individual securities to buy or sell.
- We do not make personal recommendations and we do not assess suitability.
- Nothing we publish takes account of your circumstances, objectives or risk capacity.
- Readers should consult a regulated adviser before making investment decisions.
3Who it is offered to
We accept subscriptions from readers anywhere in the world. We do not tailor the publication to any particular country, and we do not assess whether it is suitable or lawful for you to receive it where you are. If reading a general macro-research publication would put you in difficulty locally, that judgement is yours to make.
4Subscriptions and payment
Paid subscriptions are not yet open. No payment can currently be taken through this site, and the prices shown on the home page describe the intended tiers rather than a live offer. The cancellation and refund terms that will apply when they do open are at clauses 11 and 12; they are published now, ahead of the first payment, rather than arriving with the checkout that makes them matter.
5Accuracy, sources and revision
Indicator values are sourced as stated on the page that shows them, and are subject to revision by the bodies that publish them. We aim to be accurate and to show our workings, but we do not warrant that the publication is complete, current or error-free. Past directional accuracy is not a reliable indicator of future results.
6Availability
The publication is produced on a weekly cycle. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, and we may change the schedule, the coverage or the structure of the product.
7Using our content
The content is ours or our licensors'. You may read it, and quote briefly from it with attribution. You may not republish it in substance, redistribute it, or resell it, in whole or in part, without our written permission.
8Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any loss arising from a decision taken on the basis of anything we publish, or from the publication being unavailable, delayed or inaccurate. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
9Data and analytics
What we collect, what we store and how to have it deleted is at clause 13. It is one statement rather than two, so that a shorter summary here cannot quietly disagree with it.
10Notices and contact
Written notice to us should be sent to the registered office in clause 1. We do not currently publish a contact email address, and we would rather say so than print one that reaches nobody.
11Cancellation
These terms apply from the point paid subscriptions open. Until then there is nothing to cancel: every issue is published free and in full.
- A monthly subscription can be cancelled at any time, effective at the end of the period already paid for. You keep access until then.
- An annual subscription can be cancelled at any time; see clause 12 for what is returned.
- Cancelling is a one-step action in your own account, not a request you have to make to us and wait for. If that is ever not true, cancellation by written notice under clause 10 takes effect on the day we receive it.
- We may end a subscription ourselves for non-payment, or for redistributing the content in breach of clause 7. If we end it for any other reason we refund the unused part of the period.
The free weekly roundup is separate and is not a subscription. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, and clause 13 covers deletion.
12Refunds
- Fourteen days, no reason needed. Cancel within fourteen days of a first payment and we refund it in full, whether or not you have read the issues published in that window. We apply this wherever you are, rather than only where a consumer right requires it, because a research publication either earns the renewal or does not.
- Annual, after fourteen days. We refund the whole unused months, counted from the end of the month in which you cancel. The month in progress is not refunded.
- Monthly, after fourteen days. The period in progress is not refunded, and nothing further is charged.
- If we fail. If we stop publishing, or miss the publication schedule materially and for a sustained period, we refund the unused part of the term without being asked. This does not depend on you noticing first.
Refunds go back to the card or account that paid, within ten working days of the cancellation taking effect.
13Privacy and data
We would rather list this precisely than write the usual paragraph. There are two things going on, and only one of them involves you giving us anything.
Analytics. The site uses Google Analytics 4 to count visits and see which pages get read. It sets cookies only if you accept (see Cookie consent below). We do not use it to identify individuals, we run no advertising pixels, and we do no click tracking in the publication itself. The site is served by Cloudflare, which processes requests in order to serve them.
Cookie consent. Analytics is off until you say yes. The first time you
open a page that uses it, a banner asks whether to allow analytics cookies, with Accept and Reject
given equal weight. Until you accept, Google Consent Mode is set to “denied”, so no
analytics cookies are set; the Google tag still loads and may send Google a cookieless signal that
a page was viewed, with no identifier stored in your browser. If you accept, Google Analytics sets
its first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_…). Advertising signals stay
denied whichever you choose. Your choice is kept in your browser's local storage under the key
fe-consent, not in a cookie, and is never sent to us. The Cookie settings
link in the footer of those pages reopens the banner; choosing Reject later removes the analytics
cookies already set.
The weekly roundup list. If you enter your address in the signup form, we store exactly this and nothing else:
- your email address, and a lower-cased copy of it used as the unique key;
- the status of the record — unconfirmed, active, unsubscribed or bounced;
- a random token, which is what makes your confirmation and unsubscribe links work;
- the version of the consent wording you were shown, and the page you signed up from;
- the country your request came from, as a two-letter code supplied by Cloudflare. Your IP address is not retained.
- the dates you signed up, confirmed, unsubscribed and were last sent something, and a count of how many emails you have been sent.
No name, no company, no payment details — there is nothing to pay for yet — and no profile. A short event log records that a signup, confirmation, send, unsubscribe or deletion happened, against the same address, so that we can show what consent was given and when. The list is used for the roundup and for nothing else, and it is not sold, shared or rented.
Where it lives. In a Cloudflare database in the ordinary course of running the site. When confirmation and roundup emails begin going out, they will be sent through Resend, which processes the address in order to deliver the message.
The list is not operating yet. Email delivery is not live on this domain, so a signup is held as unconfirmed and no confirmation email is sent. The form says so at the point you use it rather than after. Nothing is sent to you until delivery works and you have followed a confirmation link.
Getting out, and getting deleted. Every email carries an unsubscribe link, which marks the record unsubscribed and stops all sending. To have the record deleted outright, ask us in writing at the address in clause 10, and we will delete it and confirm. You do not need to have received an email from us first — since we do not yet publish a contact address or receive mail at this domain, a written request is the route that actually works, and we would rather name the working route than the conventional one. Records are kept while you are on the list and deleted on request; we do not yet run an automatic purge, and when we introduce one this clause will say what it does.
Your rights. Depending on where you are, you may have rights to see, correct, export or erase what we hold. The list above is, in substance, the whole of what we hold, and a request under clause 10 is how to exercise any of them.
14Changes and governing law
We may amend these terms. The version and date at the top of this page tell you which set you are reading. These terms and any dispute arising from them are governed by Gibraltar law, and the courts of Gibraltar have exclusive jurisdiction.
This page is deliberately short. Where it is silent, it is silent because nothing has been decided yet, not because a term is hidden elsewhere.
