Welcome to Gold as Crypto (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and share information when you visit and interact with our website, www.goldascrypto.com (the “Website”).
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy is designed to be transparent about our data practices, especially given that our website provides informational content only and does not offer financial advice.
Please note: This Website provides general information about gold and cryptocurrencies for educational and informational purposes only. It is not intended as, and does not constitute, financial, investment, legal, or other professional advice. You should consult with a qualified professional before making any investment decisions.
1. Information We Collect
We are dedicated to maintaining the anonymity of our users wherever possible. Our primary goal in data collection is to understand how our content is consumed and to improve your browsing experience. We collect limited types of information, primarily through automated means:
Anonymous or Pseudonymous Usage Data: This includes information about how you interact with our Website, such as the pages you visit, the time spent on those pages, the links you click, and your browsing patterns. This data helps us understand popular content and areas for improvement. Technical Data: This may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address (which can indicate general geographic location but not your precise address), browser type, operating system, device information, and referring website addresses. While IP addresses can sometimes be considered personal data, we treat this information in an aggregated and anonymized manner as much as possible for analytical purposes. Cookie Data: Information collected via cookies and similar tracking technologies, as detailed in Section 3.
We do not collect directly identifiable personal information such as your name, email address, phone number, or any account details, as our Website does not feature user accounts, comment sections, or direct email subscription services at this time.
However, if you choose to interact with us through email correspondence or social media, we may collect any information you voluntarily provide to us.
2. How We Collect Information
We collect information primarily through the following automated technologies:
Cookies: Small data files placed on your device (computer, tablet, mobile phone) when you visit a website. Web Beacons/Pixels: Small graphic files that allow us to monitor the usage of the Website. Analytics Tools: Services that collect, monitor, and analyze Website traffic and user behavior.
3. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies globally for the following purposes:
Monitoring Traffic (Analytics): We use third-party analytics services (e.g., Google Analytics) to gather anonymous statistical data on how visitors use our Website. This helps us understand traffic sources, popular content, and overall Website performance. The data collected by these services typically includes IP addresses (often anonymized), device information, and browsing activity. Improving User Experience: Cookies help us remember your preferences and settings (e.g., language preferences) to enhance your browsing experience and make your visits more efficient. Targeted Advertising: We may use cookies to understand your interests based on your browsing activity on our Website and other sites. This allows us and our third-party advertising partners to deliver more relevant advertisements to you when you visit other websites or platforms. This process involves sharing data (such as anonymized identifiers or hashed data) with our advertising partners.
Managing Your Cookie Preferences:
Most web browsers are set to accept cookies by default. You can usually modify your browser settings to decline cookies or notify you when a cookie is being placed. However, please be aware that disabling cookies may affect the functionality and your experience of our Website and other websites you visit.
On mobile devices, you can often limit ad tracking or reset your advertising identifier by adjusting the privacy settings on your device (e.g., in “Settings” under “Privacy” or “Ads” for iOS and Android).
You can often opt out of targeted advertising through industry self-regulation programs like the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA), Network Advertising Initiative (NAI), and European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA). Links to their opt-out tools are available on their respective websites.
4. How We Use Your Information
The limited information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
Website Operation and Improvement: To ensure the Website functions correctly, analyze usage patterns, identify popular content, and make informed decisions about content and design improvements. Audience Understanding: To understand our audience demographics and interests in an aggregated and anonymous manner, which helps us tailor our content. Marketing and Advertising: To facilitate targeted advertising, allowing us to show you more relevant ads on our Website, based on your inferred interests.
5. How We Share Your Information
The limited data we collect is integrated with and utilized by the following categories of third parties:
Analytics Service Providers: We use third-party tools (e.g., Google Analytics) to help us analyze Website traffic and audience behavior. These providers process data on our behalf, typically in an aggregated and anonymized form. Marketing Service Providers/Tools: We may share pseudonymous or anonymized data with third-party marketing services and advertising platforms to manage and deliver our targeted advertising campaigns. This data helps them understand audience segments for ad delivery.
We aim engage with third parties who are committed to data privacy and adhere to relevant data protection regulations. While we carefully select those we work with, we can’t guarantee their absolute compliance. Your personal data is not sold to third parties. Our practices focus on using data to provide and improve our services, as outlined in this policy.
6. Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect the information collected through the Website from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Data Retention
We retain the anonymous or pseudonymous usage data and cookie data for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. Once data is no longer needed, it is securely deleted or anonymized.
Your Data Rights
Even though we collect very limited personal data, you still have control over your information. Depending on where you are, these rights might include:
Access Your Data: You can ask for a copy of the limited personal data we have about you. Opt-Out: You can object to how your data is used for certain purposes, especially targeted advertising. You can do this by changing your browser settings or using the opt-out links in Section 3. Delete Your Data (“Right to be Forgotten”): You can ask us to delete your personal data. Because the data we collect is highly anonymous, it might be hard to directly identify you, but we’ll do our best to fulfill these requests when possible.
To exercise any of these rights, simply contact us using the information provided in Section 11.
8. Third-Party Links
Our Website may contain links to other websites that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
