HedgeFollow does collect non-personal information from users, mainly data about the usage of the site, user activity, user trends, etc. We do this mainly to understand how we can improve our site and services, and better serve our users. For example, if many users are searching for a hedge fund that we do not track, we will try to add it to our tracked funds.
