This privacy policy explains how Kryptoluotsi.com processes information relating to the site's users. Kryptoluotsi.com is a free guide and comparison site focusing on cryptocurrencies. Using the site does not require registration or creating a user account.

Controller

Controller: Kryptoluotsi.com. Contact details and privacy questions: see Contact us.

Processing of personal data

Kryptoluotsi.com does not keep a register of users or maintain a customer database. Browsing the site does not require logging in, and no personal data is stored in a permanent register merely on the basis of using the site.

Personal data is processed only when you contact us yourself through the site, for example using the contact form or by email. In these cases the data processed may include your name, email address and the content of your message. The data is used only to reply to your message; it is not used for marketing or disclosed to third parties.

Usage tracking and analytics

Kryptoluotsi.com does not currently use analytics or tracking tools. We plan to introduce an analytics service, such as Google Analytics or similar, to develop the site and its content. When the service is introduced, it will collect general and anonymised information, such as the number and duration of visits, pages visited, browser and device type and approximate location (country or region level), and it will not be used to identify individual users. This section will be updated with the exact provider name as soon as analytics is introduced. If the service processes data outside the EU (e.g. in the United States), this will be stated separately.

Cookies

The site may use cookies to enable basic functionality and to support analytics introduced later. Cookies are small text files stored in your browser. You can manage, block or delete cookies in your browser settings; this may affect how the site works or the accuracy of analytics.

External services and APIs

Some of the site's features load content or data directly from your browser from external servers, so the providers of these services can see technical information such as your IP address and browser details, as with ordinary web traffic:

None of these services requires logging in or is linked to a user account on our site, and we do not pass your personal data to them. Each service's own privacy practices can be found on its website.

Disclosure to third parties

We do not sell personal data to third parties. Technical tracking information, such as referral traffic, may be shared with affiliate partners (crypto exchanges and other services whose links appear on the site, for example eToro and Divly) to fulfil partnership agreements, but not personal data without separate consent. When you click an affiliate link and move to the partner's site, the partner may then process your data under its own privacy practices; we are not responsible for partners' own data processing. When an analytics service is introduced, the data it collects will be processed by that service provider under its own privacy practices.

Data retention

Information received through contact requests is kept only as long as necessary to handle and reply to the message, after which it is deleted. When an analytics service is introduced, the data it collects will be kept according to the retention periods set by that service.

Legal basis for processing

Kryptoluotsi.com processes personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis depends on the purpose: when you contact us, data is processed on the basis of the contact you initiated, in order to handle and reply to your message. Data related to developing the site and analysing its use is processed either on the basis of the controller's legitimate interest or your consent, depending on your cookie settings.

Your rights

Under the GDPR you have rights to your own data: the right to access the data processed about you, the right to request its correction or deletion, and the right to object to processing insofar as it is based on legitimate interest. You can exercise these rights by contacting us through our contact form. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority (in Finland, the Office of the Data Protection Ombudsman) if you consider that the processing of your personal data is unlawful.

Updates to this privacy policy

This privacy policy is updated as needed if the site's operations (e.g. the introduction of an analytics tool) or legislation change. The current policy is always available on this page, and changes are shown by the page's update date.
