Privacy Policy
How we use your information and the choices available to you.
Updated 30 October 2026
Who we are
SimpleCryptoGuide is an independently operated website. Its operator is responsible for the personal information described in this policy. For enquiries or privacy requests, contact [email protected].
Information we collect
We receive technical information, such as your IP address, browser details and requested pages, to deliver and protect the website. If you contact us, we receive the information you provide in your message.
With your permission, we also measure visits, referring websites, device information and interactions, including clicks on external links. This helps us improve our content and understand which resources visitors find useful. Some measurement uses browser identifiers; it is not all anonymous.
Basic page counts
We count pages when they become visible in your browser, including before you choose optional analytics. This measurement uses no tracking cookies, visitor identifiers or fingerprinting. We keep only daily totals by public page, language and broad source for 90 days, not individual browsing histories or IP addresses. You can turn it off in Privacy choices; we also respect Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track. Server requests are kept separately as aggregate diagnostics and are not reported as pageviews. Hosting logs are separate. The same basic-statistics choice covers clicks on links to other websites. We keep daily totals by public page, language and destination website for 90 days, without destination paths, link text or individual click records.
Cookies and your choices
You can use our guides and tools without accepting optional analytics. Use the privacy controls on any page to change your choice or withdraw consent. Withdrawal stops future optional tracking but does not automatically delete information already collected. Your choice applies to the browser you are using.
Why we use information
Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, optional analytics rely on your consent. Delivering and securing the website and answering enquiries rely on our legitimate interests in operating the site and responding to you. We also process information where necessary to meet legal obligations.
Sharing and external websites
Our hosting and technical service providers process information needed to operate the site. With your consent, Google Analytics also processes usage information. Google may process data in the United States and other countries, subject to its applicable data-transfer safeguards. You can read Google’s privacy information and transfer terms below, or contact us for further details.
Links to exchanges and other websites are governed by those providers’ privacy policies. Affiliate partners may record a referral or registration and pay us commission. Rejecting analytics on our site does not control data collection on a website you visit through a link.
How long we keep information
Historical visitor statistics collected with consent are retained locally for 60 months. Google Analytics user and event data are retained for 14 months; aggregate reports may remain longer. Earlier outbound-click records remain until manually deleted; new daily click totals are retained for 90 days.
Messages and operational records are kept for as long as needed to handle enquiries, maintain security, meet legal duties or resolve disputes. Backup copies remain until replaced under the hosting provider’s backup cycle.
Your rights
Depending on applicable law, you may request access, correction, deletion, restriction or transfer of your personal information. You may also object to processing based on legitimate interests and withdraw consent at any time. Contact the email address above to exercise these rights. We may need to verify your identity.
You may complain to your local data-protection authority. In Sweden, this is Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY). Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.
Security and updates
We use safeguards to protect information, but no online service is completely secure. The site is not directed at children. Contact us if you believe a child has provided personal information. We update this policy when our practices change; the revision date appears above.
