Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026

Controller / operator: FXCRYPTO24 (FXCrypto24.com).
Contact: please use our contact form.

We publish aggregated engagement metrics (votes, percentages, rankings) without showing personal data. Your account data and participation history are not publicly visible.

FXCRYPTO24 does not sell your personal information and does not share it with third parties for money or for cross-context behavioral advertising. We may use service providers (such as hosting or email delivery) strictly to operate the service.

1. Scope and audience

This policy describes how FXCRYPTO24 (FXCrypto24.com) collects and processes information when you use the website, including engagement features (polls, sentiment, “helpful”, star rating), reading streak, and badges. The site is intended for a global audience and is provided in English. Depending on where you live, local privacy laws may give you additional rights that cannot be waived by these terms.

2. Information we collect

Star rating for a material (1–5).

Weekly poll vote (selected option).
Reading activity to calculate streak and badges (aggregated by day; may include unique reads).

3. Legal bases (EEA/UK)

Where the GDPR applies, we process personal data on the following bases:

Performance of a contract — when you create an account or use account features we agree to provide.
Legitimate interests — for example security, abuse prevention, improving the service, and understanding aggregated usage, where not overridden by your rights.
Consent — where required (for example certain optional communications, if offered).
Legal obligation — where we must process data to comply with applicable law.

4. How we use your information

Operate the website and provide requested functionality.
Maintain security (fraud prevention, rate limiting, abuse detection).
Improve the product using aggregated statistics and internal analytics.
Communicate with you (support replies, newsletter delivery if you subscribed).
Comply with legal obligations when applicable.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

FXCRYPTO24 (FXCrypto24.com) uses cookies and browser storage where needed to provide core functionality and certain product features.

5.1. Essential / authentication cookies

If you create an account or log in, we use session cookies (or similar mechanisms) required to maintain your authenticated session and protect your account.

5.2. Functional cookie for guest participation

Guest voting and rating features may rely on a first-party functional cookie that stores an anonymous browser identifier. It lets us prevent duplicate votes or ratings from the same browser and keep community features fair. The cookie is HttpOnly, uses SameSite=Lax, and may include a Secure attribute when served over HTTPS. It is not used to track you across unrelated websites for advertising.

5.3. Theme preference (local storage)

Your selected theme (light/dark) may be stored in your browser using local storage to reduce flicker and remember your preference. This is separate from cookies and is not sent to our servers automatically.

5.4. Search history (local storage)

We may store recent searches locally in your browser for convenience (for example in the navigation drawer).

5.5. Managing cookies

You can control cookies through your browser settings. If you block essential cookies, parts of the website (such as login) may not work correctly. If you block or remove the guest cookie, guest participation features may not work reliably.

6. International transfers

If you are located in the EEA/UK, your information may be processed outside your country (for example where our hosting or service providers are located). Where required by applicable law, we use appropriate safeguards (which may include standard contractual clauses or other approved mechanisms).

7. Sharing and disclosure

We do not sell your personal information. We may disclose information only when needed to operate the service (for example email delivery providers), or when required by law.

8. Data retention

We keep information only as long as necessary for the purposes described above. Typical retention rules:

Account data: kept while your account is active.
Engagement and reading activity: used for on-site widgets and your progress; retained while needed for those features.
Support messages: retained for a limited period to handle requests and prevent abuse.

9. Security

We apply technical and organizational measures to protect data (access controls, secure session handling, and rate limiting). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, but we continuously improve protections.

10. Your rights

Depending on your location, you may have the right to:

Access the information we hold about you.
Correct inaccurate information.
Request deletion of your account and associated data (where applicable).
Restrict or object to certain processing (where applicable).
Data portability (where applicable).
Withdraw consent where processing is based on consent (where applicable).
Opt out of marketing communications (newsletter) at any time.

If you are in the EEA/UK and believe our processing infringes applicable law, you may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your country. To exercise rights, contact us via the contact form.

11. United States

If you are a U.S. resident, state privacy laws may provide additional rights depending on your state. FXCRYPTO24 does not sell personal information. If you contact us through the contact form, we will respond in line with applicable law.

12. Children

The service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe we have collected information from a child under 13, please contact us via the contact form.
