Privacy Policy

Policy Snapshot

What we collect, why, and how you control it.

Who We Are

CryptoSignal publishes cryptocurrency news, market analysis, and explainers. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you visit our website, read articles, subscribe, or contact us.

This policy applies to information processed on this site and in messages you exchange with us. It does not cover third-party websites you may reach through links in our reporting.

We may act as a controller for information you provide directly, such as a newsletter sign-up, and as a processor for certain tools we use to run and secure the site.

We aim to be direct: we collect the minimum data needed to publish, secure, and improve the site. We do not ask for wallet seed phrases, private keys, or exchange passwords.

If you are in the European Economic Area or the UK, privacy rules may require a lawful basis for processing personal data under the GDPR framework set out in Regulation (EU) 2016/679.

If you are a California resident, you may have specific notice and request rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act as amended by the California Attorney General's CCPA guidance.

We may update this policy to reflect product changes, vendor changes, or legal updates. We will post the revised version on this page with a new «Last updated» date.

Last updated: July 22, 2026.

Data We Collect

Categories of information gathered on CryptoSignal.

Common Data Categories

  • Contact details you submit

  • Messages sent via forms
  • Comment content (if enabled)
  • Device and browser identifiers

How We Use Data

Operational, security, analytics, and communication purposes.

Purposes and Legal Bases

We use information to deliver pages, format content, and keep the site reliable. This includes caching, load balancing, diagnosing errors, and preventing abuse such as rate-limiting suspicious requests.

We use information for security, fraud prevention, and integrity of our editorial operations. This may include detecting bots, blocking malicious traffic, and investigating incidents that threaten readers or the site.

If you subscribe to email alerts, we use your contact information to send the messages you requested and to manage unsubscribes. Where applicable, this may be treated as performance of a request you initiated or consent you can withdraw.

We use aggregated usage data to understand which stories are read, how readers navigate, and where performance issues occur. This helps us improve site speed, fix broken pages, and prioritize coverage without tracking you as a person.

If you are in the EEA or UK, typical GDPR lawful bases may include consent for certain cookies, legitimate interests for security and basic analytics, or performance of a contract for sending an email you asked for.

We do not use your information to make decisions that produce legal or similarly significant effects solely by automated processing. If that ever changes, we will explain the logic and impact in plain language.

We may also use information to comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests. This can include preserving logs where required for security investigations and compliance.

If we plan to use information for a new purpose that is materially different from what is described here, we will provide additional notice before that new use begins.

Cookies and Analytics

How browser storage and measurement tools work.

Cookies Explained

Cookies are small text files stored on your device, and similar technologies such as local storage, pixels, and SDKs can also be used to remember preferences, keep sessions stable, and measure engagement.

Some cookies are strictly necessary for the site to function, for example security or load-management. Others are optional and used for analytics or advertising, depending on how the site is configured.

If we use Google Analytics, it typically stores a client identifier in a first-party cookie named «_ga» to distinguish users and sessions. Google's cookie documentation describes «_ga» as lasting for about 2 years in typical configurations.

Your browser settings, extensions, or consent choices may change whether this cookie is set or persists. Where required by law, we will request your consent before placing non-essential cookies. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

Some browsers offer a «Do Not Track» signal. Because there is no universally adopted standard for how to respond, we generally treat it as a preference indicator rather than a binding rule.

If we run advertising, ad partners may use cookies or device identifiers to measure campaign performance and limit repeated ads. Depending on the partner and jurisdiction, this may be «sharing» for cross-context behavioral advertising.

If you prefer not to be measured by Google Analytics, Google provides an opt-out browser add-on for supported browsers. You may be able to clear stored data at any time through your device settings.

Your Privacy Choices

Requests, opt-outs, and access options.

Rights You May Have

  • Access to personal information
  • Correction of inaccurate data
  • Deletion of personal information
  • Data portability (where applicable)
  • Opt out of sale or share
  • Limit use of sensitive data
  • Withdraw consent for cookies
  • Appeal or complain to a regulator

Sharing, Transfers, Retention

When data leaves our systems and for how long.

Vendors and Safeguards

We share information with vendors that help us operate the site, such as hosting providers, security services, email delivery platforms, analytics providers, and content delivery networks. These vendors are expected to process data only under our instructions.

We may disclose information if we believe it is reasonably necessary to comply with law, respond to lawful requests, enforce our terms, investigate security issues, or protect readers and the public.

We may store and process information in the United States and other countries where we or our vendors operate. When cross-border transfers apply, we use contractual and technical safeguards appropriate to the risk and the services involved.

We retain personal information only as long as needed for the purposes described in this policy. Typical retention depends on the data type: subscription data lasts while you remain subscribed, and security logs are kept only as long as needed for safety and compliance.

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information. No method of transmission or storage is risk-free, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

This site is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. COPPA is the U.S. law focused on protecting children under 13 online, enforced by the FTC.

If you believe a child under 13 has provided personal information to us, contact us through our site Contact page and include the details needed to locate the record. We will take reasonable steps to delete the information.

To exercise privacy choices, request access or deletion, or ask questions, contact us through the Contact page on this website and write «Privacy Request» in the subject line. If we need to verify your request, we will ask for minimal information necessary to confirm you are the requester.
