1. Overview
soop.wiki ("we", "us", "the site") is a content site about crypto finance and technology. We built it to need as little of your data as possible. This policy covers information collected when you visit soop.wiki, read its articles, see advertising on it, or contact us.
2. Information we collect
| Category | Examples | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Information you provide | Your name, email address and message, if you contact us. | Directly from you |
| Automatically collected data | IP address, browser and device type, pages visited, referring page, and approximate location derived from your IP address. | Your browser, through web server logs, analytics and advertising partners |
| Cookies and similar technologies | Small files and identifiers that remember preferences, measure traffic, and help deliver and measure advertising. | This site and third-party partners |
We never ask for or store wallet addresses, private keys, seed phrases or financial account details. You should never enter that information into a contact form on this or any other site.
3. How we use information
- To reply to messages you send us.
- To understand, in aggregate, which articles are useful so we can decide what to write or revise next.
- To show advertising that helps fund the site, and to measure how that advertising performs.
- To keep the site secure and stable, for example by spotting unusual traffic patterns.
- To meet legal obligations, if a valid request ever requires it.
We do not sell the personal information you send us directly, such as contact messages.
4. Advertising
soop.wiki is funded by advertising. Ads are served by third-party advertising partners, which may include Google and other ad networks and vendors. These partners may use cookies, web beacons and similar technologies to show you ads based on your visits to this and other websites, to limit how often you see an ad, and to measure ad performance.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to soop.wiki and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising from Google at Google's Ads Settings, and learn more in Google's explanation of how it uses cookies in advertising. You can opt out of many other vendors' personalized advertising at aboutads.info or, in Europe, youronlinechoices.eu.
Where the law requires it, for example in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and some US states, you'll be asked for consent before advertising cookies are used, and you can change your choice at any time.
The full list of our advertising partners and the cookies they use is shown below.
5. Cookies and your choices
- Essential cookies are needed for basic site behavior, such as remembering a consent choice.
- Analytics cookies help us understand aggregate traffic, such as which pages are read most.
- Advertising cookies are set by our advertising partners, as described above.
Most browsers let you block or delete cookies in their settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect small parts of the site; blocking analytics or advertising cookies won't stop you reading anything.
6. Links to other sites
Articles link to external resources such as protocol documentation and official guidance. Once you leave soop.wiki, that site's own privacy policy applies. We're not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to.
7. Data security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we can't guarantee absolute security, but we collect as little as possible specifically to reduce that exposure.
8. Data retention
Messages you send us are kept only as long as needed to reply and keep a reasonable record of the conversation, then deleted. Aggregate, non-identifying analytics data may be kept longer for trend analysis. Advertising partners keep data according to their own policies.
9. Your rights
Depending on where you live, including under laws such as the GDPR, UK GDPR and CCPA, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, email [email protected]. We'll respond as promptly as we reasonably can.
10. Children's privacy
soop.wiki is written for a general adult audience and is not directed at children under 13, or under 16 in the European Economic Area. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we learn that we have, we'll delete it.
11. International visitors
If you visit from outside the country where the site is hosted, your information may be processed in a country with different data protection laws from your own.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this policy as the site changes. When we do, we'll change the "last updated" date at the top of this page.
13. Contact
Questions about this policy can be sent to [email protected] or through our contact page.
