ShouldIBuyCryptoToday.com is designed to provide educational information in plain English. We also believe privacy information should be easy to understand.
What Information We Collect
When someone visits this website, our first-party traffic system may record basic technical information about the visit. This can include:
- The page that was visited.
- The date and time of the visit.
- The website or service that referred the visitor, when that information is available.
- Campaign labels contained in links, such as UTM source or campaign names.
- The browser or user-agent information sent with the request.
- A general device type, such as desktop, tablet, or mobile.
- Screen or browser width information used to understand how the site is being viewed.
- Whether the request appears to come from a human visitor, search crawler, AI crawler, or other automated system.
Information You Send Through the Contact Form
If you choose to use the Contact page, we may receive the name you enter, your email address, the topic you select, and the message you submit.
We use that information to read, review, and when appropriate respond to your message, investigate a reported problem, or consider feedback about the website.
Please do not send wallet seed phrases, private keys, recovery words, passwords, Social Security numbers, bank information, or other sensitive financial information through the contact form.
Contact Form Spam and Abuse Protection
The Contact page uses security checks intended to reduce automated spam and abuse. These checks include Cloudflare Turnstile, a hidden anti-bot field, minimum submission timing, request validation, and rate limiting.
For rate limiting, the contact system may create and temporarily use a one-way hashed version of the connecting IP address. The contact-attempt log does not need to store the raw IP address for this purpose.
Cloudflare Turnstile
Cloudflare Turnstile is used on the Contact page to help determine whether a form submission appears legitimate or automated. Information necessary to perform that security check is processed by Cloudflare according to Cloudflare's own privacy practices.
Turnstile is used for website security and spam prevention, not to provide personalized advertising on this site.
How IP Addresses Are Handled
Web servers normally receive an IP address when a device connects to a website.
Our traffic-tracking system does not store the raw IP address in the traffic table. Instead, it converts the address into a one-way hashed value before storing it.
That hashed value is used only for limited traffic analysis, such as estimating whether visits may be returning from the same source.
Why We Collect Traffic Information
We use traffic information to understand things such as:
- Which educational pages people are finding.
- Whether visitors arrive from search engines, social websites, AI services, or other sources.
- Which pages are useful enough that people continue reading.
- Whether the website works well on phones, tablets, laptops, and desktop computers.
- Whether search engines and AI crawlers are discovering the site.
- Whether referral links to other websites are being used.
- Whether there are technical problems that need attention.
What We Do Not Ask You to Provide
The public educational pages on this website do not require you to provide:
- Your crypto wallet seed phrase.
- Your wallet private key.
- Your exchange password.
- Your bank password.
- Your Social Security number.
- Your credit-card number.
- Your crypto holdings or account balances.
Never send seed phrases, private keys, or account passwords through a contact form or email.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
The site is designed to rely primarily on simple first-party traffic logging rather than invasive advertising trackers.
Security services used on specific features, including Cloudflare Turnstile on the Contact page, may use browser or request information necessary to perform their security function.
If additional cookies or browser storage are added in the future for another site feature, this Privacy Policy should be updated to explain what is used and why.
Links to Other Websites
This website may link to other websites, including educational sources, government resources, social sharing services, and market-information providers.
When you leave ShouldIBuyCryptoToday.com, the other website's privacy practices apply. We do not control how an independent third-party website collects or uses information.
Social Sharing
Some pages may provide buttons or links for sharing content through services such as Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Reddit, or email.
Clicking a sharing link may send you to that outside service. That service may collect information according to its own privacy policy.
Children's Privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not designed as a service for children. We do not knowingly ask children to provide personal financial or crypto-account information.
Security
We use reasonable technical measures intended to protect the website and the information stored by its first-party systems.
No website, server, database, or internet transmission can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Data Retention
Traffic records may be kept for as long as they remain useful for understanding website usage, detecting technical problems, measuring search or AI discovery, or maintaining historical site analytics.
Contact messages may be retained for as long as reasonably useful to respond to the message, investigate a reported issue, maintain appropriate records, or protect the website from abuse. Contact-form security and rate-limit records may also be retained as reasonably necessary for spam prevention, security, troubleshooting, and abuse detection.
We may remove, aggregate, or reduce older records when detailed information is no longer needed.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy may be updated when the website changes, when new features are added, or when privacy practices need to be explained more clearly.
The date near the top of this page shows when this policy was last updated.
