Learning About Crypto

This Privacy Policy explains how Learning About Crypto("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit learningaboutcrypto.com(the "Site"). We've tried to keep it in plain English. By using the Site, you agree to this policy.

The short version

You can browse the Site without creating an account or giving us your name.
We collect basic, mostly anonymous usage data to understand traffic and improve the Site.
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we store the email address you give us.
We use affiliate links and may show ads; these involve third-party cookies.
We don't sell your personal information for money.

Information we collect

Information you give us

If you subscribe to our newsletter or email us, we collect the email address and any information you choose to include in your message. The Site has no user accounts or logins.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, when you visit we and our service providers automatically receive certain technical information, which may include your IP address, approximate location (derived from IP), browser and device type, the pages you view, referring URLs, and the date and time of your visit. We use this for analytics, security, and to improve the Site.

Cookies and similar technologies

We and our partners may use cookies and similar technologies to remember your preferences (such as light/dark theme), measure traffic, and — where enabled — serve and measure advertising. You can control cookies through your browser settings; blocking some cookies may affect how the Site works.

How we use information

To operate, maintain, and improve the Site and its content.
To understand how visitors use the Site (analytics).
To send our newsletter, if you've subscribed (you can unsubscribe anytime).
To respond to your messages.
To display and measure advertising, where enabled.
To protect the Site against fraud, abuse, and security threats, and to comply with law.

Advertising and analytics

We may use third-party analytics (for example, privacy-focused traffic analytics) and third-party advertising networks (such as Adsterra) to help fund the Site. These providers may use cookies or device identifiers to measure usage and, in some cases, to show ads based on your visits to this and other sites.

We ask for your consent before setting non-essential analytics or advertising cookies. You can accept or reject these when you first visit, and you can change your choice at any time using the "Cookie preferences" link in the site footer. If you reject, we limit ourselves to the essential cookies needed to run the Site. You can also opt out of personalized advertising more broadly through industry tools such as YourAdChoices and your browser settings.

Affiliate links

Some links on the Site are affiliate links. If you click one, the destination site may place a cookie or otherwise record that you arrived from us so that we can be credited for any resulting sign-up or purchase. See our affiliate disclosure for details.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal information for money. We may share information with:

Service providers who help us run the Site (for example, our hosting provider, analytics, and email/newsletter provider), only as needed to perform their services.
Advertising partners, who may receive cookie and device data as described above.
Legal and safety recipients, where we believe disclosure is required by law or necessary to protect rights, safety, or the integrity of the Site.

Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or port your personal information, to object to or restrict certain processing, and to withdraw consent. If you are in the EEA or UK, our legal bases for processing are your consent (which you can withdraw), our legitimate interests in operating and improving the Site, and compliance with legal obligations.

If you are a California resident, you have rights under the CCPA/CPRA, including to know, delete, and correct your information and to opt out of the "sale" or "sharing" of personal information. While we do not sell personal information for money, the use of advertising cookies may be considered "sharing" under California law; you can opt out by adjusting cookie settings and using the ad controls linked above.

To exercise any right, email privacy@learningaboutcrypto.com. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link in any email.

Data retention

We keep newsletter and contact information only for as long as needed for the purpose it was provided (for example, until you unsubscribe), and we retain analytics data for a limited period. We delete or anonymize information when it is no longer needed.

International visitors

The Site is operated from, and its providers may process data in, countries that may have different data-protection laws than yours. By using the Site you understand your information may be processed in those locations.

Children's privacy

The Site is intended for adults and is not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 16. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.

Security

We take reasonable measures to protect information, but no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we'll revise the "Last updated" date above. Significant changes may be highlighted on the Site.
