Technical and usage information
When someone visits DigitalCoinJournal, basic technical data can be processed automatically, such as:
- IP address;
- browser and device type;
- pages visited;
- referral source;
- approximate location derived from IP address;
- timestamps;
- cookie identifiers;

This information helps the site load correctly, resist abuse, measure readership and understand which sections are useful to readers.
Newsletter and email data
If a reader subscribes to email updates, we process the email address and related subscription records. Every marketing or editorial email should include a working unsubscribe option.
Advertising, affiliate and sponsored content data
DigitalCoinJournal may work with advertising partners, affiliate networks or sponsors. Where those partners use cookies or similar technologies, this must be handled through the cookie banner or preference centre where legally required.
DigitalCoinJournal does not ask readers to disclose investment positions, wallet balances or trading history to read the site.
2. Why we use personal information
Personal information is processed for the following purposes:
- to operate and secure the website;
- to respond to messages, complaints and legal requests;
- to send newsletters when a reader has subscribed;
- to measure audience performance and improve editorial planning;
- to manage sponsored content, advertising and affiliate relationships;
- to prevent spam, fraud, scraping abuse and malicious activity;
- to keep records required for tax, accounting, contractual or legal reasons;
- to protect DigitalCoinJournal’s rights, contributors, readers and infrastructure.
3. Legal bases for processing
Where GDPR, UK GDPR or similar rules apply, the legal bases usually are:
- Consent, for newsletter subscriptions, non-essential cookies and certain marketing technologies.
- Legitimate interests, for site security, analytics, editorial administration, fraud prevention and ordinary business operations.
- Contractual necessity, when dealing with contributors, advertisers, service providers or other commercial contacts.
- Legal obligation, when records must be kept or disclosed under applicable law.
- Legal claims, when information is needed to establish, defend or resolve a legal matter.
4. Cookies and similar technologies
DigitalCoinJournal uses cookies and comparable technologies. Some are needed for the website to work. Others, such as analytics or advertising cookies, should only be used where allowed by law and by the reader’s consent choices.
More detail is available in the Cookie Policy.
5. Third-party services
DigitalCoinJournal may use service providers for:
- web hosting and server infrastructure;
- content delivery and security;
- analytics;
- newsletter delivery;
- spam protection;
- advertising and affiliate tracking;
- payment, invoicing or accounting;
- professional advice;
- editorial tools and workflow systems.
These providers receive only the information needed for their role. They are not permitted to use reader data for unrelated purposes under our instructions, although some providers may also act as independent controllers under their own privacy notices.
6. External links and embedded content
Articles may link to third-party websites, blockchain explorers, social platforms, exchanges, project pages, research portals or official announcements. DigitalCoinJournal is not responsible for the privacy practices of those websites.
Embedded content, such as videos, posts, charts or widgets, can behave as if the reader visited the third-party service directly. Those services may collect data according to their own policies.
7. International transfers
DigitalCoinJournal has an international readership and may use providers located in different countries. Where personal information is transferred outside the reader’s country or region, appropriate safeguards should be used where required, such as adequacy decisions, standard contractual clauses or comparable transfer mechanisms.
8. Retention
Personal information is kept only for as long as reasonably needed.
Typical retention periods are:
- contact messages: as long as needed to answer and keep a reasonable record;
- newsletter records: until the reader unsubscribes or the list is cleaned;
- technical logs: short security and diagnostic periods unless abuse is detected;
- contracts, invoices and legal records: as required by applicable law;
- correction and complaint records: long enough to preserve editorial accountability.
9. Reader rights
Depending on location, readers may have the right to:
- request access to personal information held about them;
- ask for inaccurate information to be corrected;
- request deletion;
- restrict certain processing;
- object to processing based on legitimate interests;
- withdraw consent;
- request portability of certain data;
- complain to a data protection authority.
Requests can be sent to [Privacy Email]. We may need to verify identity before acting on a request.
10. Children
DigitalCoinJournal is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under the minimum age required by applicable law.
11. Security
DigitalCoinJournal uses reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the website and related systems. No website can guarantee absolute security. Readers should be cautious when interacting with crypto-related services, links, wallets, exchanges or third-party offers.
