Privacy Policy

1Introduction

Cryptara ("Cryptara," "we," "our," or "us") operates the website cryptara.io — a free, real-time cryptocurrency price tracking and market data platform. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, disclose, and protect information when you visit or use our Service.

By using Cryptara, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

2Information We Collect

Automatically Collected Information

When you visit Cryptara, certain technical information is automatically collected through Google Analytics and our hosting infrastructure:

• Device & Browser: Browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, device type (desktop/tablet/mobile)
• Usage Data: Pages visited, time spent on pages, features used (e.g., which coins were viewed), referring website URL
• Network Data: Approximate geographic location derived from IP address (country/city level — we do not store your precise IP address long-term)
• Session Information: Session duration, navigation paths, scroll depth

This data is collected in aggregate and anonymized form. We cannot identify individual users from this data.

Information You Provide

Cryptara does not require you to create an account or provide personal information to use the Service. The only scenarios where you might provide information are:

• Contact Form: If you use our Contact page, your email client will send us your name, email address, and message via a mailto link. We use this only to respond to your inquiry.
• Price Alerts: If you set price alerts, the target prices are stored locally in your browser — we do not receive this data.

3Local Storage & Cookies

Browser Local Storage (Your Device Only)

Cryptara uses your browser's localStorage to remember your preferences. This data is stored exclusively in your browser and is never transmitted to our servers:

Cookies Set By Third Parties

Cryptara itself does not set tracking cookies. However, our third-party services (Google Analytics and Google AdSense) set cookies in your browser:

• Google Analytics: _ga, _gid, _gat — used to distinguish users, throttle requests, and measure site usage
• Google AdSense / DoubleClick: IDE, DSID, NID — used to serve personalized advertisements

You can manage or delete these cookies through your browser settings or by using the opt-out mechanisms described in Section 9.

4Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with Cryptara. This service collects anonymized data including page views, session duration, feature engagement, and geographic distribution by region.

Google Analytics data is processed by Google LLC in accordance with Google's Privacy Policy. We have configured Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled, so your full IP address is never stored.

To opt out of Google Analytics across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5Google AdSense & Advertising

Cryptara displays advertisements served by Google AdSense. AdSense uses cookies (including Google's DoubleClick cookie) to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website or other websites on the internet.

Specifically:

• Google may use information about your visits to this and other websites to serve you relevant advertisements
• Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visit to Cryptara
• Ad content is determined algorithmically by Google and is not hand-selected by Cryptara
• Cryptara earns revenue from ad impressions and clicks, which funds the free operation of this service

You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings, or opt out of third-party vendor cookies by visiting aboutads.info.

We do not have access to or control over cookies used by third-party advertisers. Clicking on advertisement links will direct you to third-party websites governed by their own privacy policies.

6Third-Party Data Sources

Cryptara fetches financial data from external APIs to power its features. Here is exactly what data is exchanged with each provider:

Cryptara uses the free tiers of these APIs, which means no authentication keys are attached to most requests. No user-specific information (name, email, location) is ever sent to these data providers.

7How We Use Information

The information we collect (primarily through Google Analytics) is used exclusively to:

• Operate, maintain, and improve the Cryptara platform
• Understand which features are most valuable to users
• Diagnose technical errors and optimize site performance
• Measure the effectiveness of our content and feature updates
• Serve relevant advertisements through Google AdSense to fund the free service

We do not use your data to make automated decisions about you, create user profiles, or engage in any form of behavioral targeting beyond what Google Analytics and AdSense do on our behalf.

8Data Sharing & Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties.

Information may be shared only in these circumstances:

• Service Providers: Google (Analytics, AdSense) processes data as described in their respective privacy policies. These are the only third parties we share data with during normal site operation.
• Legal Requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or to protect the rights and safety of Cryptara or others.
• Business Transfer: If Cryptara is acquired or merged, user data (which is minimal) may be transferred to the successor entity, subject to this Privacy Policy.

9Your Choices & Rights

Accessing Your Data

Since we do not maintain user accounts, the only personal data we have access to is the anonymized analytics data processed by Google. You can review the data stored in your browser's localStorage by opening your browser's developer tools (F12 → Application → Local Storage → cryptara.io).

Deleting Your Data

To remove all Cryptara-related data from your browser: open your browser settings, navigate to "Clear browsing data" or "Manage website data," and clear storage for cryptara.io. This removes your watchlist, alerts, theme preference, and currency selection.

Opting Out of Analytics

Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on to prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about your visits.

Opting Out of Personalized Ads

• Visit Google Ad Settings to control personalized advertising
• Visit aboutads.info opt-out for broader advertising opt-outs
• Visit networkadvertising.org for NAI opt-out

GDPR Rights (EEA Residents)

If you are in the European Economic Area, you have rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) including: the right to access, rectify, erase, restrict, or port your data, and the right to object to processing. Since we process minimal personal data, most of these rights can be exercised by clearing your browser's localStorage. For other requests, contact us at privacy@cryptara.io.

CCPA Rights (California Residents)

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you have the right to know what personal information is collected and to request deletion. Cryptara does not sell personal information. To exercise your rights, contact privacy@cryptara.io.

10Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we process:

• Cryptara is served over HTTPS, encrypting all data in transit
• No user accounts or passwords are stored in our systems for the main service
• No payment information is ever collected or processed by Cryptara
• The admin panel uses client-side SHA-256 password hashing via the Web Crypto API
• Our integration with Google Analytics uses IP anonymization

However, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11Children's Privacy

Cryptara is not directed at individuals under the age of 18. Cryptocurrency trading and financial markets involve substantial risk and are not appropriate for minors. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you believe a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at privacy@cryptara.io.

12International Data Transfers

Cryptara is accessible globally. When you use the Service, data may be processed in countries where Google operates its infrastructure, including the United States. By using Cryptara from outside the United States, you consent to the transfer and processing of information in the United States and other countries, where privacy laws may differ from those in your country.

Where required by law (e.g., for EEA residents), such transfers are covered by appropriate safeguards such as Google's Standard Contractual Clauses.

13Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Cryptara after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy.
