Policy for page viewing
Held at the Door is an independent editorial desk. These terms state what a reader should expect from the site, what the desk can and cannot do, and how the site is funded.
Figures are measurements, not investment advice
Nothing on this site is investment advice, a recommendation or an offer. The figures published here describe what things cost, not what a reader should do. A reader deciding to buy, sell or hold any instrument does so alone and is responsible for their own decision. No page on this site should be read as a suggestion to act, and no communication from the desk is an instruction to trade. The desk publishes measurements, and a measurement is not a plan.
The figures carry the limits of their sources. Each number is read from a named public source and republished with the date and the hour it was read. The threshold, the rate and the ceiling are quoted from the rule as enacted; 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. A reader who needs certainty should check the figure at its publisher before acting.
The desk and its responsibility
Responsibility for the pages sits with the Held at the Door desk. The desk reads the sources, checks the figures before publication, and answers corrections. It has no person's name attached, because the work is the desk's work and not one individual's. When a figure is wrong, the desk corrects it and dates the correction. Writing to the address on the contact page reaches the desk, and corrections are the reason the address exists.
The desk is not a broker, not an exchange, not a licensed adviser, and it holds no client money. It cannot take an order, cannot hold funds, and cannot answer a question that requires knowing a reader's personal circumstances. A reader who asks for advice will be told that the desk does not give advice. The desk's limit is the measurement: it tells a reader what a source says, and nothing beyond that.
Our affiliate link to FxPro
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 relationship is stated plainly on the page about the publisher and on this page about terms, because a reader deciding whether to trust the figures should know how the desk earns. The commission does not change the figures and does not buy a recommendation.
The broker's own site is operated by someone else, under its own terms and its own privacy policy, and following the link leaves this site. The desk has no control over what the broker publishes, and a reader who opens an account enters a relationship with the broker, not with this site. The affiliate link is the only commercial relationship the site has.
What the site does and does not do
The 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. The pages are served by a hosting provider which, like any web host, keeps its own technical request logs; the site's publisher does not read a reader's personal data out of them. A reader who writes to the desk gives an email address, and the desk uses it only to answer that message.
The sources are named under every table, with a link, so a reader can check the figure at its publisher. The desk does not copy figures from unnamed places and does not guess. When a source does not publish a figure, the desk says so rather than inventing one. A reader who finds a figure that is wrong should write to the desk, and the correction will be dated on the page where the error stood.
