Who operates this site?

This site promotes The Source Code ⭐ Premium, a subscription email publication about silver, gold and financial markets. It is published by OG JOHN AG (the “publisher,” “we,” “our” or “us”).

This notice covers information handled in connection with this landing site and The Source Code newsletter. Checkout and subscription billing take place through Gumroad, which also maintains its own Privacy Policy.

Information involved

  • Website visits: The static hosting provider may process technical information such as IP address, requested page, device/browser details and access logs as part of serving and protecting the website.
  • Subscription and purchases: If you click a trial button, you are sent to Gumroad. You may provide your email, payment details and other checkout information to Gumroad. We may receive subscription status, purchase identifiers, contact information and related account data needed to fulfill the subscription.
  • Newsletter delivery: We use subscriber email addresses to deliver reports. The email-delivery service may process delivery and, if enabled, message-engagement information such as opens or link clicks.
  • Support messages: If you contact us through the seller-contact information on your Gumroad receipt or the support email we publish, we may receive the message and details you provide.
  • Referrals: The website may pass campaign parameters such as UTM tags to the Gumroad checkout link so that we can understand where signups came from.

The supplied landing-page code does not contain a separate newsletter signup form, its own payment form or an installed advertising pixel. If third-party analytics or tracking are added later, this notice should be updated to describe them.

Why information is used

We use relevant information to provide and administer subscriptions, deliver market-day emails, communicate about the service, respond to questions, address billing/access issues, maintain website security, comply with applicable obligations, and understand broad subscription performance.

We do not sell subscribers' email addresses as a product of this publication. We may share information with service providers only as needed to operate the service or as required by law.

Service providers and other websites

Static.app serves this website. Gumroad manages checkout and subscription payments. The newsletter is delivered using an email service operated by the publisher. Each service may process information under its own policies and contractual role.

Checkout buttons and third-party links take you away from this site. Read Gumroad’s privacy notice before supplying payment details. We do not receive your complete payment-card number from this landing page.

Cookies and analytics

This site does not intentionally set its own analytics or advertising cookies. Static.app offers server-side site analytics, including requests to the on-site signup redirect pages. Gumroad or other external services may use their own cookies once you visit them. If third-party tracking is added later, this notice will be updated.

Retention, security and international processing

We retain subscription and correspondence information only as long as reasonably necessary for service delivery, recordkeeping, security, disputes and applicable legal obligations. Retention periods may differ across Gumroad, the email provider and the hosting provider.

We use service providers to operate the publication, which may involve processing information in countries other than your own. Although reasonable safeguards are important, no internet-based system can be guaranteed perfectly secure.

Your choices and privacy rights

You can manage or cancel a subscription using Subscription settings / Manage membership in your Gumroad receipt or Library, as described in Gumroad’s membership guide. Newsletter messages may also have unsubscribe or email-preference links, where available.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to request access, correction or deletion of personal information, or to object to certain uses. To make a request, contact the publisher using the details on the Contact page. Gumroad handles requests relating to information it processes for its own business purposes under its own privacy notice.

Changes and contact

We may revise this notice when our services or processing practices change. A revised date will appear on this page. For questions about this Privacy Policy, visit the Contact page.
