Your data, in plain words.

CrypOption Hub (crypoptionhub.com) publishes broker reviews, trading education and strategy guides in English and Russian. In this policy, “we”, “us” and “our” mean the CrypOption Hub team, which decides how personal data on this website is used.

This policy covers this website only. It doesn’t cover broker platforms, social networks or other sites we link to, which have their own privacy policies. Questions about this policy go through our contact page.

We collect only what the site needs to work, to answer you and to understand which pages help readers.

We don’t ask for, and you should never send us, passwords, card numbers, identity documents or broker account logins.

Cookies are small files your browser stores for a website. Analytics and video cookies are set only after you accept them in the cookie banner, and you can change your choice at any time with the “Manage consent” button. Our list:

We don’t use advertising or retargeting cookies of our own, and our comment form doesn’t set a cookie. To block or delete cookies, use your browser settings; the site still works without them. You can also stop Google Analytics on every site with Google’s opt-out browser add-on.

After you click a broker link and land on the broker’s site, that broker sets its own cookies under its own policy.

• Run and protect the site. Logs and the firewall block spam, attacks and abuse. Legal basis: our legitimate interest in a secure site.
• Improve our content. Aggregated analytics show which pages readers find useful and where they leave. Analytics runs only if you accept in the cookie banner. Legal basis: your consent.
• Show embedded videos. Some articles embed YouTube videos. They stay blocked until you accept, and then YouTube handles your data under Google’s own policy. Legal basis: your consent.
• Publish comments and answer messages. We use your details only to show your comment and reply to you. Legal basis: your request and our legitimate interest in replying.
• Send the newsletter. Only if you subscribe, and every email has an unsubscribe link. Legal basis: your consent.
• Count affiliate referrals. We match anonymous click counts with the totals brokers report to us. Legal basis: legitimate interest.

We don’t build profiles of individual readers, make automated decisions about you, or use your data for anything not listed here.

Some broker links pass through a short redirect on our domain (for example /pocket/go-en) and then open the broker’s site with our partner code. That’s how the broker knows a sign-up came from us. Our affiliate disclosure explains how we earn from it.

• We send the broker no name, email or other personal data. The redirect carries only our partner code.
• Brokers report to us in totals, such as the number of registrations or deposits. We can’t see your account, balance or trades.
• Anything you give a broker (identity documents, payment details) goes to that broker and is covered by its privacy policy, not ours.

We don’t sell, rent or trade personal data. A few service providers handle it for us, only to run the site:

• Our web host stores the site, its database and its server logs.
• Google provides analytics (Google Analytics, only if you accept) and plays embedded YouTube videos (only if you accept). Our web fonts are hosted on our own server, so Google doesn’t receive your IP address for fonts.
• Mailchimp stores newsletter subscribers and sends the emails.
• Gravatar (Automattic) may receive a coded form of your comment email to show your profile picture, if you have one.

We disclose data to authorities only when the law requires it. Some of these providers process data outside your country, including in the United States, under their own safeguards such as standard contractual clauses.

Wherever you live, you can ask us to:

• See the personal data we hold about you.
• Correct it if it’s wrong.
• Delete it, such as a comment, a message or your subscription.
• Object to or limit how we use it, and withdraw consent at any time with the “Manage consent” button.
• Get a copy in a common format.

Send requests through our contact page. We answer within 30 days and may ask you to confirm the email address the request is about. If you’re in the EU or UK, you can also complain to your data protection authority. California residents have the same rights under the CCPA, and we don’t sell or share personal information for targeted advertising.

CrypOption Hub is for adults. Trading is for people aged 18 and over, and brokers don’t accept younger customers. We don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has sent us personal data, contact us and we’ll delete it.

The whole site runs over HTTPS, a firewall screens traffic, and only team members who need it can reach the admin area. No system is perfectly secure, so we keep as little personal data as we can. If a breach ever puts your data at risk, we’ll tell you and the authorities as the law requires.

We update this policy when our tools or the law change. The date at the top shows the latest revision. If a change affects how we use data you already gave us, we’ll ask again where the law requires it.

For privacy questions or requests, contact us. Our Disclaimers cover risk and affiliate terms, and our About page explains who we are.
