1. Introduction

Welcome to CryptoReferral.io ("we," "us," or "our"). CryptoReferral.io is an informational website that provides cryptocurrency exchange referral codes, promotional offers, and related educational content.

This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at cryptoreferral.io (the "Site"). This policy applies to all pages and subdomains of the Site.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the terms of this policy, please do not access the Site.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Personal Information

We do not directly collect personal information from you. Our Site does not require account registration, login, or any form submission. We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or any other personally identifiable information.

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically through third-party analytics services:

• Google Analytics (GA4): We use Google Analytics 4 (Measurement ID: G-M5D2KV6LVV) to collect anonymized usage data including pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, general geographic location (country/city level), device type, browser type, operating system, and screen resolution.
• Cloudflare Analytics: As our hosting and CDN provider, Cloudflare automatically collects server-side analytics data including IP addresses (processed but not stored long-term by Cloudflare), request headers, page URLs, response status codes, and bandwidth usage.

2.3 Cookies and Similar Technologies

Our Site uses cookies set by third-party services. See Section 6 (Cookies) for detailed information about the types of cookies used and how to manage them.

3. How We Use Information

The automatically collected information described above is used solely for the following purposes:

• Site improvement: Understanding which pages are most visited and how users navigate the Site to improve content and user experience.
• Content optimization: Analyzing traffic patterns to determine which referral guides and exchange content are most useful to visitors.
• Traffic analysis: Monitoring overall Site traffic, geographic distribution of visitors, and technical performance metrics.
• Security: Protecting the Site against malicious traffic, DDoS attacks, and other security threats (via Cloudflare).

4. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may collect or process data:

4.1 Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare for website hosting, content delivery (CDN), security (DDoS protection, WAF), and server-side analytics. Cloudflare may process your IP address and request data to provide these services. For more information, see the Cloudflare Privacy Policy.

4.2 Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to analyze website traffic and usage patterns. GA4 uses cookies to collect anonymized data about your interactions with the Site. Google may process this data on servers located in various countries. For more information, see the Google Privacy Policy and Google Analytics Opt-Out.

4.3 Cryptocurrency Exchange Affiliate Programs

Our Site contains affiliate links to cryptocurrency exchanges including, but not limited to, Binance. When you click on an affiliate link, you are redirected to the respective exchange's website, which is governed by that exchange's own privacy policy and terms of service. We do not control, and are not responsible for, the data practices of these third-party exchanges.

5. Affiliate Links Disclosure

CryptoReferral.io participates in affiliate programs offered by cryptocurrency exchanges. This means:

• Our Site contains referral links and referral codes for cryptocurrency exchanges.
• When you sign up for an exchange using our referral link or code, we may earn a commission from the exchange.
• Using our referral links does not cost you anything extra. In many cases, our referral codes provide you with bonuses or fee discounts that are not available without a referral code.
• Our editorial content and referral code recommendations are not influenced by the commission amounts we receive.

This disclosure is made in accordance with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines and applicable regulations in other jurisdictions.

How to Manage Cookies

You can control and manage cookies in the following ways:

• Browser settings: Most web browsers allow you to control cookies through their settings. You can set your browser to block or delete cookies. Refer to your browser's help documentation for instructions.

7. Data Retention

Since we do not directly collect personal data, our data retention practices are determined by our third-party service providers:

• Google Analytics: Data is retained for 14 months by default in GA4. After this period, user-level and event-level data is automatically deleted. Aggregated reports may be retained indefinitely.
• Cloudflare: Analytics data is retained according to Cloudflare's data retention policies. Server logs are typically retained for a limited period (generally up to 72 hours for raw logs).

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your personal data under applicable privacy laws including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), UK GDPR, California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and other regional privacy legislation:

• Right of access: You have the right to request information about any personal data we hold about you.
• Right to rectification: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal data.
• Right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"): You have the right to request deletion of your personal data.
• Right to restrict processing: You have the right to request that we limit the processing of your personal data.
• Right to data portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format.

• Right to withdraw consent: Where processing is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.
• Right to lodge a complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in your jurisdiction.

Since we do not directly collect personal information, most of these rights are best exercised directly with the third-party services we use (Google, Cloudflare). However, if you have any questions or wish to exercise any of these rights, please contact us at the email address provided in Section 11.

For California residents (CCPA): We do not sell personal information. We do not collect personal information beyond what is described in this policy through automated analytics tools.
