Alright, welcome to hardwarewallets.net! This Privacy Policy is here to lay out how we go about gathering, using, and keeping your personal information safe when you pop onto our website. By sticking around and using hardwarewallets.net, you’re essentially giving us the nod that you’re fine with how we handle your info, as explained in this policy. If that’s not quite right for you, then it’s probably best not to use our site.
1. What This Policy Covers
So, this document is all about how hardwarewallets.net (which we’ll just call “the Website,” “our Service,” “we,” “us,” or “our” from here on) collects, uses, looks after, and shares details we pick up from folks (each one, a “User”) who use the hardwarewallets.net website. This privacy policy applies to everything on the Website and all the things we offer through hardwarewallets.net.
2. Information We Collect
We actually gather a couple of different kinds of information from and about the people who visit our Website:
- Non-Personal Identification Information: This is the stuff that doesn’t point directly to you. Think of things like the type of browser you’re using, what kind of computer you’re on, and some technical bits about how you connect to our Website – like your operating system or who your internet provider is. This helps us get a general idea of how folks are using our site.
- Personal Identification Information: We only get our hands on personal information if you decide to hand it over to us. For instance, if you sign up for our newsletter, drop a comment, or get in touch using one of our forms, we might ask for your name and email address. You’re always free to hold onto this information if you prefer, but just know it might mean you can’t use certain parts of the Website as fully.
3. How We Use Your Information
We put the information we collect to use for a few key reasons:
- To Make Our Website Better: We look at that non-personal information to see which areas of our site are getting a lot of love and figure out how we can improve things for everyone.
- To Send You Emails Now and Then: If you’ve joined our newsletter list, we’ll use your email address to send you updates, news, and other relevant bits about crypto hardware wallets. And if you’ve reached out to us, your email will be used to get back to you. You can always hit the unsubscribe button if you decide you don’t want our emails anymore.
- To Make Your Experience More Personal: Sometimes, we’ll use information in a broad sense to understand how our users, as a whole bunch, interact with the services and resources on our Website. This really helps us fine-tune the content we offer.
4. How We Share Your Information
Just to be clear: we absolutely do not sell, trade, or rent your personal identification information to anyone else. We might, however, share general, non-personal demographic stuff (like how many visitors we get, but never individual names) with our business partners, trusted affiliates, and advertisers for the purposes we just talked about.
It’s possible we’ll bring in third-party service providers to help us run our business and the Website, or to manage activities for us, like sending out newsletters or surveys. We might share your information with these third parties for those specific tasks, but only if you’ve given us your go-ahead.
5. Data Retention
We hold onto your personal information only for as long as it’s truly needed for the reasons we collected it – this includes meeting any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Once we don’t need your information anymore, we’ll make sure to delete it securely or make it anonymous.
6. Your Data Protection Rights
Depending on where you’re located in the world, you might have some specific rights when it comes to your personal data. These could include:
- The right to access: You can ask us for copies of your personal data.
- The right to rectification: If you think any information we have is wrong or incomplete, you can ask us to fix it.
- The right to erasure: You can ask us to delete your personal data, but this is under certain conditions.
- The right to restrict processing: You can ask us to limit how we process your personal data, again, under certain conditions.
- The right to object to processing: You can object to us processing your personal data, which also has certain conditions.
- The right to data portability: You can ask us to transfer the data we’ve collected to another organization, or directly to you, if certain conditions are met.
If you send us a request, we’ll get back to you within one month. If you’d like to use any of these rights, please just get in touch with us at the email address you’ll find below.
7. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Our Website uses these things called “cookies” to make your experience a bit smoother. A cookie is just a tiny file that your web browser places on your computer’s hard drive. It’s for keeping records and sometimes helps us track bits of information about you.
- How We Use Cookies: We use cookies to figure out how you’re interacting with our content, to remember your preferences, and generally to make our Website better.
- Your Choices About Cookies: You can totally set your web browser to say “no thanks” to cookies or to warn you when they’re being sent. Just a heads-up though, if you do this, some parts of the Website might not work quite right.
8. Links to Other Websites
You might find links on our Website that lead to other websites we don’t control. If you click on one of those third-party links, you’ll be whisked away to that site. We really suggest you take a moment to read the Privacy Policy of every single site you visit.
We don’t have any control over, and aren’t responsible for, what’s on those other sites, their privacy policies, or how they operate.
9. Children’s Privacy
Our Website isn’t really meant for anyone under 18 years old (we call them “Children” in this policy). We don’t knowingly collect any personal details from kids under 18. If you’re a parent or guardian and you realize your child has given us their personal data, please get in touch with us. If we discover we’ve collected personal data from Children without proper parental consent, we’ll take steps to remove that information from our servers.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We might need to update this privacy policy every now and then. When we do, we’ll update the “last updated” date at the very bottom of this page. We encourage you to swing by this page often to see if anything’s changed, just so you’re always in the loop about how we’re working to protect the personal information we collect. You understand and agree that it’s up to you to check this privacy policy regularly and be aware of any adjustments.
