Welcome to Vista Partners LLC (“Vista,” “we,” “our,” or “us”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, process, store, and protect information when you use our website, market commentary and research content, email newsletter, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

By accessing or using our Services, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy and consent to the collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described here. This Privacy Policy covers how Vista handles personal information (name, email, browsing data) and is separate from our Disclaimer, which covers investment-related disclosures, compensation from featured companies, and risk warnings about the content itself. Both apply when you use the site.

How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

We do not sell personal information to third parties. (Note: Vista is compensated by certain featured/profiled companies for research and content coverage — see our Disclaimer for details. That compensation relates to editorial content, not to the sale or licensing of reader personal information.)

Sharing of Information

We may share information with trusted service providers that help operate our Services, including:

• Cloud hosting providers

• Analytics providers

These providers may process information solely as necessary to perform services on our behalf. We may also disclose information:

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies, analytics, and similar technologies to analyze website usage, improve platform functionality, remember user preferences, and enhance security. See our Cookie Policy for details. You may disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly.

Data Security

We implement commercially reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information against unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary to provide our Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and maintain business records. Retention periods vary depending on applicable legal requirements.

Third-Party Services

Our Services may link to or integrate with third-party providers, including analytics platforms, email delivery services, and market-data sources referenced in our articles. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party providers, and users should review those providers’ policies separately.

Children’s Privacy

Our Services are not directed toward children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Your Rights and Choices

Depending on applicable law, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information, restrict or object to processing, withdraw consent, or opt out of certain communications. To exercise these rights, contact us using the information below.

California Privacy Rights

California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA), including the right to know what information we collect, request deletion, request correction, and receive information about our data-sharing practices. We do not sell personal information as defined under California law.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Updates become effective upon posting unless otherwise indicated. Continued use of the Services following changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
