Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how The Crypto News collects, uses, and protects your personal information when you visit our website or subscribe to our newsletter. We are based in the United Kingdom, and we handle personal data in line with UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
Who we are
The Crypto News (thecryptonews.site) is an independent publication operated by Frank Kitimo. For the purposes of data protection law, we are the "data controller" for the personal information described in this policy. You can contact us about privacy through the Contact Page.
What we collect and why
Newsletter email address. If you subscribe to The Morning Brief, we collect your email address so we can send you the newsletter. We process this based on your consent.
Contact form details. If you message us, we collect your name, email address, and the content of your message so we can respond. We process this based on our legitimate interest in replying to enquiries.
Analytics data. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use the site (such as pages viewed and general location). This may involve cookies and a shortened version of your IP address. We only load analytics after you accept our cookie banner.
Cookies
We use a small number of cookies. Some are essential for the site to work. Analytics cookies are only set if you click "Accept" on our cookie banner. You can decline analytics cookies at any time, and you can clear cookies through your browser settings. If you decline, the site still works normally.
Who we share data with
We do not sell your personal data. We use trusted third-party service providers to run the site, and they process data on our behalf, including:
Resend for sending our newsletter and emails.
Google Analytics for website analytics (only with your consent).
Supabase for our database and hosting of site data.
Vercel for website hosting.
Some of these providers are based outside the UK, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred internationally, we rely on appropriate safeguards as required by UK data protection law.
How long we keep your data
We keep newsletter subscriber emails until you unsubscribe. We keep contact messages for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and our records. Analytics data is retained in line with our analytics provider's settings.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you have the right to access the personal data we hold about you, to have it corrected or deleted, to restrict or object to how we use it, to data portability, and to withdraw consent at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email us through the Contact Page.
You also have the right to complain to the UK's data protection regulator, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), at ico.org.uk.
Unsubscribing
Every newsletter we send includes an unsubscribe link. Clicking it removes you from our list. You can also email us to be removed.
Children
This site is not directed at children under 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from them.
Changes to this policy
We may update this policy from time to time. When we do, we will change the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
