This policy explains what information Coingsty collects, why, and what choices you have. We aim to collect no more than we need to run the site and respond to you.
Information we collect
- Information you give us directly. If you use our contact form, email us, or sign up for a newsletter, we collect what you submit — typically your email address and the content of your message.
- Technical and usage information. Like most websites, our server and hosting infrastructure log standard technical data such as IP address, browser type and pages requested, which helps us keep the site running securely and understand aggregate usage.
- Cookies and similar technologies. We use cookies for core site functionality and, where applicable, to support advertising and measurement. See our cookie policy for the categories we use and how to control them.
What we do not collect
We do not ask for or knowingly collect wallet private keys, seed phrases, government ID numbers or financial account credentials. Never enter this kind of information into a form on our site, and treat any request to do so — even one that appears to come from us — as suspicious.
How we use information
We use the information above to operate and secure the site, respond to enquiries and correction requests, send newsletters to people who asked for them, and understand how the site is used in aggregate so we can improve it. We do not use personal information to make individual investment recommendations, and we do not build a profile of your holdings or trading activity.
How we share information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information with service providers who help us run the site — for example, hosting, email delivery or security infrastructure — under obligations to protect it, or where required by law. See also our do not sell or share my information page for how this applies to advertising-related sharing specifically.
Data retention
We keep personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose it was collected — for example, to respond to your enquiry or while you remain subscribed to a newsletter — and delete or anonymize it thereafter unless we are required to keep it longer for legal or security reasons.
Your choices and rights
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct or delete your personal information, or to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, email editorial@coingsty.com or use our contact page and we will respond to legitimate requests.
Children’s privacy
Coingsty is not directed at children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will address it promptly.
Security
We take reasonable measures to protect information we hold, 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 as our practices or applicable law change. Material changes will be reflected on this page.
