Privacy policy

1. Overview

Soop.wiki ("we", "us", "the site") is a static, content-focused reference site about crypto finance and technology. We built the site to need as little of your data as possible to function. This policy covers the information collected when you visit Soop.wiki, read its articles, or contact us directly.

2. Information we collect

We collect information in three narrow categories:

Category	Examples	Source
Information you provide	Name and email address, and the content of your message, if you use the contact form.	Directly from you
Automatically collected data	IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, referring page, approximate location derived from IP.	Your browser, via standard web server logs and any analytics tool in use
Cookies and local storage	Small files used to remember basic preferences, such as whether you've dismissed a banner.	Set by this site or, if present, a third-party analytics provider

We do not ask for or store wallet addresses, private keys, seed phrases, or financial account details, and you should never enter any of that information into a contact form on this or any other site.

3. How we use information

We use the information above for a small set of purposes:

• Responding to messages sent through the contact form.
• Understanding, in aggregate, which articles are useful so we can prioritize what to write or revise next.
• Maintaining the security and stability of the site — for example, identifying unusual traffic patterns.
• Meeting legal obligations, if a valid request ever requires it.

We do not sell personal information, and we do not use anything you send us to build advertising profiles.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

If the site uses analytics or preference cookies, they fall into two types:

• Essential cookies — needed for basic site functionality, such as remembering that you closed a notice.
• Analytics cookies — help us understand aggregate traffic patterns, such as which pages are most read. These can typically be disabled in your browser without breaking the site.

Most browsers let you block or delete cookies through their settings. Blocking essential cookies may affect small pieces of site behavior; blocking analytics cookies will not.

5. Third-party services and links

Soop.wiki links out to external resources — protocol documentation, exchanges, wallets and other reference material — as part of normal editorial content. Once you leave our site, that destination's own privacy policy applies, and we encourage you to read it. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of sites we link to.

If we use a third-party analytics or hosting provider, that provider may process technical data (like IP address) on our behalf, under its own privacy and security commitments.

6. Data security

We apply reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we can't guarantee absolute security — but we also collect as little as possible specifically to reduce that exposure.

7. Data retention

Contact form messages are retained only as long as needed to respond and keep a reasonable record of correspondence, after which they are deleted. Aggregate, non-identifying analytics data may be retained longer for trend analysis.

8. Your rights and choices

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or receive a copy of the personal information we hold about you, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these, reach out through the contact page and describe your request — we'll respond as promptly as we reasonably can.

9. Children's privacy

Soop.wiki is intended for a general adult audience and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and if we learn that we have, we will take steps to delete it.

10. International visitors

If you access the site from outside the country where it is hosted, your information may be processed in a different jurisdiction with different data protection laws than your own. By using the site, you understand that your information may be transferred and processed accordingly.

11. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "last updated" date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.

12. Contact

Questions about this policy, or requests related to your information, can be sent through the contact page.
