What Held at the Door collects, and what it does not

This page answers the questions a careful reader asks before trusting a figure: who runs the desk, what it stores, how it is paid, and where to send a correction.

The desk behind the figures

Held at the Door is an independent editorial desk. It is not a broker, not an exchange, not a licensed adviser, and it holds no client money. The desk's only product is a measurement: a threshold, a rate, and a ceiling quoted from named public sources and republished with the date and the hour they were read. The rupee and dollar columns are recalculated at a live rate read from two independent sources. What a bank adds to that rate is not published by any of them, so it is not in this table.

The desk's responsibility is to be accurate about what it shows and silent about what it cannot know. Every figure is tied to a source named under the table, with a link, so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. When a figure is wrong, the desk corrects it and dates the correction. The desk answers questions sent to [email protected], and that address exists for exactly that reason.

No tracking or accounts

This site has no accounts, no login, no newsletter, and no comment form. It sets no cookie of its own, runs no analytics, and stores nothing in the reader's browser. A visitor can read every page without leaving a trace that the desk can see or use. The desk does not collect names, email addresses, or reading habits, because it has no form to collect them and no reason to hold them.

The pages are served by a hosting provider which, like any web host, keeps its own technical request logs. Those logs exist so the site stays online and secure, not so the desk can read a reader's personal data out of them. The desk does not combine those logs with anything else, does not sell them, and does not use them to identify a reader. What a reader does on this site stays on this site.

One affiliate link, plainly stated

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 only way the desk earns money from the site. There is no other paid placement, no sponsored table, and no fee for reading the figures.

A reader who follows that link leaves this site and arrives at a different operator, run under its own terms and its own privacy policy. The desk has no control over what the broker collects, how it uses data, or what it charges beyond what the broker itself discloses. The affiliate commission does not change any figure on this page, and the desk will not adjust a measurement to make the broker look better or worse.

Reporting a wrong figure

A reader who finds a figure that looks wrong should write to [email protected]. The desk reads every message and treats a correction as the first priority. When a figure is corrected, the correction is dated on the page, so a reader can see what changed and when. The desk does not argue with a source; it checks the source again and, if the source has changed, the table changes with it.

What a reader should not expect is an answer about what to do with the figure. Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation, or an offer. The figures describe what things cost, not what a reader should do. The desk cannot promise that a rate will hold, that a broker will accept an application, or that a reader will profit. It can promise that a wrong figure, once shown to be wrong, will be fixed and the fix will be dated.
