This Privacy Policy explains how Fox Periodical handles information when you visit our website. We are an independent crypto market-data and education project, and our approach to privacy is deliberately minimal: we collect as little personal data as possible and avoid building profiles about the people who read our content. This page describes what limited information we work with, why, and the choices you have. It should be read together with our Cookie Policy, which covers the small text files your browser stores when you use the site.
Information We Collect
We are built around the idea that good crypto education does not require harvesting your personal details. In practice, the information we encounter falls into a few narrow categories.
Technical and usage information
When you browse pages such as our markets overview, top gainers, or Fear & Greed index, our privacy-respecting analytics may record standard, non-identifying technical information. This typically includes your browser type, device type, and which pages were visited. We use this in aggregate to understand which content is useful and where the site can be improved. It is not used to identify you as an individual.
Information you choose to give us
If you reach out through our contact page or subscribe to updates, we collect only what you provide, such as your email address. We use that information solely to respond to your enquiry or to deliver the service you asked for, and for nothing else.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use only essential cookies that are required for the site to function. Where any non-essential cookies might be used, we ask for your consent first rather than setting them automatically. You remain in control and can clear or block cookies through your browser at any time. For a full explanation of the categories involved and how to manage them, please see our Cookie Policy.
How and Why We Use Information
We use the limited information described above to operate and improve the website, to respond to enquiries you send us, and to help maintain the security and integrity of the service. We do not sell your personal data to anyone, and we do not trade it for advertising purposes.
In general terms, our lawful basis for handling this information rests on our legitimate interest in running a functional, secure, and useful site; on your consent where consent is requested (for example, for non-essential cookies or newsletter sign-ups); and on the need to take steps you have asked for, such as replying to a message. You can withdraw consent at any time where consent is the basis we rely on.
Third-Party Services
To display live and historical figures, the site loads market data from CoinGecko and alternative.me. We may also load web fonts from Google Fonts to render pages consistently. When your browser requests these resources, those providers may process limited technical data, such as your IP address, in order to deliver the content to you. These services operate under their own terms and privacy practices. You can learn more about how we source and present figures on our methodology page.
International Visitors
Fox Periodical can be read from around the world. Depending on where you are located, your information may be processed in a country with different data-protection rules than your own. Wherever you visit from, we apply the same minimal-collection approach described in this policy. The availability and regulation of crypto services varies by country and can change, and it remains your responsibility to ensure your own use is lawful where you live.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you, and in some cases to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, please contact us through our contact page or by email. We will respond in line with the rights that apply to you.
Data Retention
We keep personal information only for as long as it is needed for the purpose it was collected, for example to deliver a newsletter you signed up for. After that, we delete or anonymise it. Aggregated, non-identifying analytics that cannot be tied back to you may be retained for longer so we can understand trends over time.
Data Security
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect the limited information we hold against loss, misuse, and unauthorised access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
This website is intended for adults and is not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age required by their local law. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can address it.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time as the site evolves or as practices change. The latest version will always be published on this page, so we encourage you to review it periodically. Our broader standards are described in our editorial policy and ethics policy.
