Privacy Policy

Effective Date: July 23, 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how CryptoGuardian collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website, read our reviews, or contact us through site features.

For privacy laws that use these terms, CryptoGuardian generally acts as the business and controller for information collected through this website. Our service providers process data on our behalf under contract.

This policy covers information collected on CryptoGuardian pages and forms. It does not cover third-party websites you may reach via links on our site, including wallet providers, exchanges, merchants, or social platforms, which have their own privacy practices.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational, security, or legal changes. When we do, we will post the updated version on this page and change the Effective Date above.

Personal information generally means information that identifies, relates to, describes, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked with you or your device. Some technical data may be treated as personal information under certain state laws.

We collect information you provide directly, automatically from your device when you use the site, and from third parties in limited cases, for example referral data from an affiliate partner after you click an outbound link.

You can usually use CryptoGuardian without creating an account. If we ever offer optional subscriptions or reader accounts, this policy applies to information collected through those features as well.

Questions about this Privacy Policy can be sent through our website contact form. Use a clear subject line such as Privacy Request so we can route your message correctly.

We use information to operate and secure CryptoGuardian, display content correctly, prevent abuse, and respond to messages you send, for example questions about a review methodology or a correction request.

We may use analytics to understand which pages are helpful, how fast pages load, and how readers navigate. Where required, we request consent for optional analytics cookies and similar technologies, and you can change your choices later.

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential site functions such as maintaining preferences and, if you opt in where applicable, for measuring site performance. You can also control cookies through your browser settings.

CryptoGuardian may include affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and then visit a third-party site, that third party may use its own cookies or tracking to attribute the referral. CryptoGuardian may receive a commission for qualifying actions; this does not require you to provide us with your wallet credentials.

We may display embedded content, for example videos or widgets, that is served by third parties. Those third parties may collect data directly from your device, depending on their settings and your browser configuration.

We share information with service providers that help us run the site, such as hosting, security monitoring, content delivery, and analytics. We instruct service providers to use the data only to provide services to CryptoGuardian and to protect it appropriately.

We may disclose information if we believe it is necessary to comply with a valid legal process, respond to lawful requests, enforce our terms, investigate fraud or security incidents, or protect the rights and safety of CryptoGuardian, our readers, and others.

We keep information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described above, including maintaining security logs, resolving disputes, and complying with legal obligations. We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to reduce risk, but no online system can be guaranteed 100% secure.

Depending on where you live, you may have privacy rights under US state laws. These rights can vary by state and may depend on how a site uses data, including whether certain kinds of data sharing occur.

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act, as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act effective January 1, 2023, provides rights that may include the right to know and access, the right to delete, the right to correct, the right to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information, the right to limit certain uses of sensitive personal information, and the right to non-discrimination.

Opt-out choices: where applicable, you can manage non-essential cookies via our cookie controls if shown and through your browser settings. If your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal and our systems detect it, we will treat it as a request to opt out of sale or sharing for that browser and device, where required.

To submit a privacy request, contact us via the website contact form and include Privacy Request in the subject line. Tell us what you want to do, such as access, deletion, correction, or opt out, and provide enough information for us to locate the relevant records.

To protect readers, we may need to verify your request. Verification steps depend on the type of request and the sensitivity of the data involved. We will never ask you for seed phrases, private keys, or custody of your assets as part of a privacy request.

If you use an authorized agent to submit a request on your behalf where permitted by law, we may request evidence of authorization and may still need to verify your identity directly, depending on the request type.

If you believe we denied or misunderstood your request, reply to our response and ask for a review. Provide any additional details that may help us validate and process the request correctly.

Children's privacy: CryptoGuardian is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information to us, contact us and we will take steps to delete it.
