Privacy Policy

Last updated: July 13, 2026

Chain Ledger News respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information we may collect through chainledgernews.com, why we process it, when it may be shared, how long it may be retained and what choices may be available to you.

Chain Ledger News is based in the United States of America (USA). This Policy applies to the website and related pages, forms, newsletters and services that link to it.

1. Information We May Collect

Information you provide

We may collect information you voluntarily provide, including your name, email address, message content, correction request, newsletter preferences, professional or organizational information, documents or supporting evidence and correspondence with us. You do not need to provide personal information merely to read public articles.

Information collected automatically

When you use the website, our systems and providers may receive your IP address, browser and device information, operating system, approximate location derived from IP address, access time, viewed pages, referring URL, language settings, cookie identifiers, interactions, performance information, security events and server logs.

Information from third parties

We may receive limited information from hosting, security, analytics, email, advertising, affiliate and social-media providers, as well as public records and people submitting legitimate inquiries, tips or corrections.

We do not request wallet recovery phrases, private keys, wallet passwords or authentication credentials.

2. How We Use Information

We may use information to:

• operate, maintain, deliver and secure the website;
• respond to inquiries and correction requests;
• send communications or newsletters you requested;
• understand traffic, readership and website performance;
• detect fraud, abuse, attacks and unauthorized access;
• diagnose errors and improve accessibility and navigation;
• administer advertising or affiliate relationships where enabled;
• enforce our Terms of Use and protect legal rights;
• comply with legal obligations; and
• protect readers, contributors and the public.

Private reader information is not used to determine the editorial position of an article.

3. Legal Bases

Depending on applicable law, processing may rely on your consent, performance of a requested service or contract, compliance with legal obligations, protection of vital interests, or our legitimate interests in operating, securing, measuring and improving the website where those interests do not override your rights.

Where processing relies on consent, you may withdraw it at any time. Withdrawal does not affect processing lawfully performed before withdrawal.

4. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, pixels, tags, scripts, local storage and similar technologies for essential operation, security, privacy-choice storage, preferences, analytics, embedded media and, where enabled, advertising. When required by law, nonessential technologies are used only after an appropriate consent choice.

For details, read our Cookie Policy and use Cookie Preferences to manage optional categories.

5. Analytics

Analytics services may help us understand aggregated traffic, referral sources, page performance, device categories and reader interactions. Providers may process IP addresses, device identifiers, viewed pages and approximate location. Where consent is required, nonessential analytics should remain disabled until consent is provided.

6. Advertising and Affiliate Measurement

If advertising or affiliate services are enabled, providers may process identifiers and interaction information to deliver or measure advertisements, prevent fraud and attribute referrals. Interest-based advertising and cross-site tracking, where used, are treated as nonessential and are subject to applicable consent and opt-out requirements.

Chain Ledger News does not knowingly sell personal information for monetary payment. Some laws define “sale,” “sharing” or “targeted advertising” broadly. Where those definitions apply, eligible users may opt out through Cookie Preferences or by contacting us.

6A. Google Advertising Services

Chain Ledger News may use Google AdSense and related Google advertising services. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies, web beacons, IP addresses and similar technologies to serve, limit, personalize and measure advertisements displayed on this website.

Google’s use of advertising cookies enables Google and its advertising partners to serve advertisements based on a user’s visit to Chain Ledger News and/or other websites on the Internet. Depending on consent, account settings and applicable law, advertising may be personalized or non-personalized. Non-personalized advertisements may still use information such as the current page, general location and limited identifiers for delivery, frequency control, security, fraud prevention and aggregated measurement.

Users may learn how Google uses information from partner websites by visiting How Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Users may manage Google advertising personalization through My Ad Center or Google Ads Settings. Additional industry opt-out choices may be available through YourAdChoices.

Other authorized advertising vendors or networks may also use cookies or similar technologies. Their identities may be displayed in the consent-management platform when required. Chain Ledger News does not directly control cookies placed by an independent advertising provider.

7. Embedded Content and External Platforms

Articles may include videos, social posts, charts, market data or other external content. Providers may collect information about your device and interaction, especially when you are logged in to their service. They process information under their own privacy policies.

8. Service Providers

We may disclose limited information to providers supporting hosting, content delivery, cybersecurity, databases, content management, email, newsletters, analytics, media delivery, technical monitoring, spam prevention, advertising, affiliate measurement and professional services. Providers should receive only information reasonably necessary for their functions and may be subject to contractual security and confidentiality requirements.

9. Legal Disclosures

We may disclose information when reasonably necessary to comply with law or valid legal process; respond to lawful government requests; protect rights, property or safety; investigate fraud, abuse, impersonation or security incidents; or establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

10. Business Transfers

If Chain Ledger News undergoes a reorganization, merger, acquisition, financing or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of the transaction. A successor should handle it consistently with applicable law and the commitments governing it at the time of transfer.

11. International Transfers

Information may be processed in countries other than your place of residence. Where required, we use recognized safeguards for international transfers, which may include contractual protections, adequacy decisions or other lawful mechanisms.

12. Data Retention

We retain personal information only as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described here and for legal, security, operational and recordkeeping requirements. Contact requests may be retained while active and for a reasonable period afterward; newsletter information until unsubscribe or deletion; consent records to demonstrate compliance; security logs for a limited investigative period; and legal records as required by law. Information may then be deleted, anonymized or aggregated.

13. Data Security

We use reasonable administrative, organizational and technical safeguards designed to prevent unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, loss or destruction. No internet or storage system is completely secure, so absolute security cannot be guaranteed.

14. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to:

• confirm whether we process your information and request access;
• correct inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion, restriction or portability;
• object to certain processing or withdraw consent;
• opt out of certain advertising, sales or sharing;
• obtain information about purposes and recipients;
• lodge a complaint with a competent authority; and
• receive equal service without unlawful discrimination.

Rights may be subject to exceptions for journalism, freedom of expression, public interest, confidential sources, security, legal claims and recordkeeping. Submit requests to contact@chainledgernews.com with the subject “Privacy Request.” We may request reasonable information to verify identity or an agent’s authority.

15. Brazil, Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States

Where Brazil’s LGPD applies, eligible data subjects may exercise rights including confirmation, access, correction, anonymization, blocking, deletion, portability, information about sharing and withdrawal of consent.

Where the GDPR or UK GDPR applies, eligible individuals may request access, correction, deletion, restriction and portability, object to processing, withdraw consent and complain to a competent supervisory authority.

Residents of jurisdictions in the United States with applicable privacy laws may have rights concerning access, correction, deletion, portability and opting out of certain sales, sharing or targeted advertising. Where legally required and technically supported, recognized opt-out signals such as Global Privacy Control may be treated as opt-out requests.

16. Journalistic Material

Information processed for journalistic purposes may be subject to exemptions protecting freedom of expression, public-interest reporting and confidential sources. Nothing in this Policy requires disclosure of confidential sources or protected unpublished editorial material.

17. Children’s Privacy

The Services are intended for a general audience and are not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information directly from children under 13. If you believe a child has submitted information, contact us so we can assess and, where appropriate, remove it.

18. Third-Party Websites

This Policy does not govern third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for their privacy or security practices. Review their policies before providing information.

19. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Policy for legal, operational or technological developments. The latest version will be published here with its updated date. Material changes may also be communicated through an appropriate notice.
