Privacy Policy

Effective Date: October 28, 2025

Welcome to Crypto-CreditCards.com (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. Our goal is to keep things clear and straightforward while meeting global privacy standards, including GDPR and CCPA.

1) What This Policy Covers

This policy applies to information collected on Crypto-CreditCards.com (the “Site”). It does not cover third-party websites, services, or platforms that may be linked from our Site (for example, advertisers, affiliate programs, analytics providers, or WordPress.com/Automattic services).

2) The Information We Collect

• Contact Form Details: When you reach us via our Contact Us page, we collect your name and email address. We use this solely to respond to your inquiry.
• Comments & WordPress Accounts: If you comment on our blog, WordPress may create a user account to support commenting. These accounts and related login data are handled directly by WordPress; we do not process or store your passwords.
• Cookies & Similar Technologies: Our WordPress-based Site uses cookies for basic functionality. Additional cookies may be set by Google AdSense and affiliate networks for ad performance, fraud prevention, and personalization. See “Cookies & Ads” below.
• Usage Data (Aggregated/Anonymous): Through analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, Yandex Webmaster), we receive aggregate insights about page views, device types, approximate location (e.g., country), and general engagement trends. We use these to improve content and user experience.
• No Newsletters, No Sensitive Data: We do not run email newsletters and we do not intentionally collect sensitive categories of personal information.

3) How We Use Your Information

• Respond to Messages: To reply to your inquiries sent via the contact form.
• Improve the Site: To analyze aggregate trends, fix issues, and enhance content quality.
• Support Advertising & Affiliates: To display ads (via Google AdSense) and measure affiliate performance (via third-party programs). Revenue may be earned on a CPC, CPI, or CPA basis only.
• Protect the Site: To detect and prevent spam, abuse, or prohibited activities.

4) Legal Bases (GDPR Users)

• Consent: For cookies and similar technologies that require consent in your region.
• Legitimate Interests: To operate, protect, and improve our Site (e.g., analytics, security, non-essential but helpful features) where appropriate.
• Contract/Pre-contractual: To respond to your messages or requests.
• Legal Obligations: To comply with applicable laws and enforce our Terms.

5) Cookies, Ads & Affiliate Tracking

• WordPress Cookies: Core functionality (e.g., remembering preferences, supporting comments).
• Google AdSense: May set cookies to serve and measure ads, combat fraud, and personalize ad content where permitted.
• Affiliate Links: Some links use tracking cookies set by the respective affiliate network to credit qualifying actions (clicks or purchases) in line with their privacy and cookie policies.
• Your Choices: You can manage cookies in your browser settings (e.g., block, delete, or limit). Where required, our cookie consent banner allows you to accept or reject non-essential cookies.

6) Analytics

We use tools such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools, and Yandex Webmaster to understand aggregate usage patterns. These services generally provide de-identified or pseudonymous insights. We do not use analytics to identify you personally.

7) How We Share Information

• Service Providers & Partners: We may share limited information with vendors who help operate the Site (e.g., hosting, analytics, advertising/affiliate platforms). They may only use data as instructed to provide their services.
• Legal & Safety: We may disclose information when required by law or to protect rights, privacy, safety, or property (ours, yours, or others).
• No Sponsored Posts, No Paid Reviews: We do not sell editorial placement. Content is created independently.
• “Sale” of Personal Information: We do not “sell” personal information as most privacy laws define that term. Some jurisdictions consider certain advertising cookies to be a “sale” or “sharing”; see “Your Rights” to learn how to opt out where applicable.

8) Data Retention

We retain contact form messages and related correspondence for as long as necessary to address your inquiry and maintain records (typically up to 24 months), unless a longer period is required by law. Analytics data may be retained according to each provider’s default settings. You can request deletion where applicable—see “Your Rights.”

9) Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards appropriate to the nature of the information we handle. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10) International Data Transfers

We serve a global audience and may process information using infrastructure or providers located in various countries. We take steps to protect your information consistent with this Policy and applicable laws.

11) Children’s Privacy

Our Site is not directed to children and should not be used by anyone under the age of 16. If you believe a child provided personal information to us, please contact us so we can take appropriate action.
