This page explains in plain terms what happens to your data when you use dcamethod.com. It describes what the site actually loads today, and it changes when the site does.
No accounts, no forms
DCA Method has no sign-up, no login, no newsletter and no contact or comment forms. We never ask for your name, email address or payment details, and we do not sell personal data.
Calculators run in your browser
The amounts, dates and other values you enter into a calculator are processed in your browser and are not stored on our servers. To run a backtest, your browser downloads price data for the asset you picked from dcamethod.com.
Share links put the calculator inputs into the link itself, so they only travel when you share that link.
Analytics
We use Vercel Web Analytics to count page views and a few interactions. It sets no cookies; visitors are told apart by a hash of the request that is discarded within a day, and we only see aggregate numbers.
We also use Google Analytics 4. Its script loads from googletagmanager.com after the page has finished loading and sets first-party cookies (_ga and _ga_91GQW4HS09) to tell visits and sessions apart. Google processes your IP address and device details to produce aggregate reports for us; Google's own privacy policy applies to that processing.
A few interactions are also recorded as events: clicking an exchange or referral link, copying a referral code, jumping to the exchange offers or opening the discount-code directory, choosing an exit-plan preset, sharing a what-if or exit-plan result (with the asset and, for what-if results, the amount you chose), and copying the embed code. These events carry no name, email address or account.
What is stored on your device
Apart from the Google Analytics cookies above, the site sets no cookies. If you switch between light and dark mode, that choice is saved in your browser's local storage so it stays the same on your next visit.
Hosting
The site is hosted on Vercel. Like any web host, Vercel processes technical request data such as your IP address, browser type and the page you requested in order to deliver the page and protect the service. Fonts and images are served from dcamethod.com itself, not from third-party font or image services.
Referral links
Some links to exchanges carry our referral code. When you click one, you leave dcamethod.com and the exchange's own privacy policy applies. We do not pass any information about you to the exchange; it may report to us, in aggregate, the sign-ups or fees linked to our code.
AI agent endpoints
The public MCP endpoint (/api/mcp) and the asset catalog (/assets.json) need no key or account. We count MCP tool calls in Vercel Analytics, recording the tool name and, for backtests, the asset symbol and purchase frequency.
Your choices
Every calculator works with cookies blocked, with a tracker blocker or in a private window. Clearing your browser's site data removes the analytics cookies and the theme setting.
Changes
When the site starts or stops using a service that handles visitor data, we update this page and the date at the top.
