What this site collects and what it cannot promise

Kenya Gold Gram is an independent editorial desk. It publishes one measurement, taken from named public sources, and it collects nothing of its own from readers. This page explains what that means in practice.

What the site collects

The site collects nothing of its own: no accounts, no login, no newsletter, no comment form, no cookie of its own, no analytics, nothing stored in the reader's browser. A reader can open every page without leaving any personal data with this desk. The publisher does not know who reads the figures, when they read them, or what they do afterwards. There is no hidden tracking, no fingerprinting, and no request for an email address or a phone number. The only data that exists is the data a reader chooses to send by writing to the contact address, and that email is read by the desk and answered or acted upon.

What the hosting provider logs is different. The pages are served by a hosting provider which, like any web host, keeps its own technical request logs. Those logs are not the site's own collection; the site's publisher does not read a reader's personal data out of them. The logs exist for the host to keep the service running, to stop abuse, and to satisfy its own legal obligations. This desk does not have a dashboard that shows who visited a page, and it does not try to build one. The distinction matters: the site itself is a printed page with links, not a service that recognises a returning reader.

What the site measures

The desk's subject is one measurement, taken from named public sources and republished with the date and the hour it was read. There is no Kenyan gold fixing: every figure below is the world gold price multiplied by a shilling rate. Official columns use the Central Bank of Kenya rate; open-market columns use the Binance P2P dollar. Karats are the 24 karat gram times the karat over twenty-four. The sources are named under every table, with a link, so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. The desk reads those sources, writes the figure down, and publishes it as it was at that hour. It does not add a margin, does not forecast, and does not hold an opinion on whether the price should be higher or lower.

Because the figure is a multiplication of two public inputs, the desk's work is visible and checkable. A reader can open the Central Bank of Kenya page, open the world gold price page, multiply them, and arrive at the same number. When a source changes its format or stops publishing, the desk notes that and adjusts the table. The desk does not run its own exchange, does not take orders, and does not hold client money. It is an editorial desk, not a broker, not an exchange, not a licensed adviser, and it holds no client money.

What the desk earns

The site links to one broker, FxPro, through an affiliate link, and is paid a commission if a reader opens an account there. The reader pays nothing to this site and nothing extra at the broker. This is the desk's only commercial relationship. The commission is paid by the broker, not by the reader, and it does not change the figures on this site. The gold price and the shilling rate are taken from public sources before any link is followed, and they are not adjusted to make the broker look better or worse. The affiliate relationship is disclosed here and on the terms page, and it is the reason the site can operate without charging readers or selling their data.

The desk does not earn from reader data because it collects none. It does not sell lists, does not place third-party cookies, and does not run targeted advertising. A reader who never clicks the broker link costs the desk nothing and earns the desk nothing. A reader who does click and then opens an account generates a commission, but that commission is paid by the broker from its own marketing budget. The desk has no other income, no sponsorship, and no paid placements. This plain statement is the whole of the desk's commercial model.

How to write about data questions

Writing to the address on the contact page reaches the desk. Corrections are the reason the address exists: a figure that is wrong is corrected and the correction is dated. If a reader sees a number that does not match the source, or a source link that no longer works, or a rate that seems to be from the wrong hour, the desk wants to know. The email address is editor@goldgramke.pages.dev. The desk reads every message and answers what it can. It does not answer investment questions, does not give advice, and does not comment on whether a reader should buy or sell gold. Those questions are outside what the desk can responsibly answer.

When a correction is made, the page is updated and the correction is dated. The desk does not silently change a figure and hope nobody noticed. If a reader points out an error and the desk checks the source and agrees, the figure is changed and the date of the change is noted. If the desk checks and disagrees, it replies with the source and the arithmetic. The desk is not a regulator and cannot force a broker or a bank to change its behaviour. What it can do is keep its own record accurate and tell readers exactly where each number came from.
