What data PULSE keeps

In short: we do not keep your email, phone or name, show no ads and use no third-party trackers.

Without an account

Your browser gets a random key in the pulse_session cookie (page scripts cannot read it). The server keeps only its hashed fingerprint — that is how the site remembers your progress without registration.
What you do on the site is tied to this key: game and test results, XP, the Market Replay account, saved news, reading days, “My assets”, price alerts, your votes.
Settings such as the colour theme or chart indicators are kept only in your browser.

The username you chose. Other players see it where there are competitions.
Your password — only as a hashed fingerprint (scrypt): we do not know the password itself and cannot look it up.
The password recovery code — likewise only as a hashed fingerprint.
If you sign in with Google — only the permanent number of your Google account. During sign-in Google also shows us your email, name and photo, but we neither keep nor use them; we never see your Google password. To unlink Google, write to the address below.

We count page views per day. To count visitors, the server makes a fingerprint from the address and browser name that changes every day and keeps it for 31 days. The addresses themselves are not kept.
There is no Google Analytics, no ad networks and no similar third-party trackers on the site.

If you send “Report an error”, we keep the page, the type and your text; your identifier only to limit how often one person can send reports.

On our server in Germany (Hostinger hosting). Database backups are made every night and kept for 7 days.
We do not sell or pass your data to anyone. The connection to the site is encrypted (HTTPS).

Write to thepulsefin.support@gmail.com with your username — we will delete the account and everything tied to it within 30 days (from backups the data disappears 7 days later).
