We may collect the following categories of information:

• Information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, and the contents of messages you send to us.
• Newsletter and subscription data, including your email address, signup source, consent preferences, and engagement data such as opens or clicks where available through our email service providers.
• Usage and device information, such as IP address, browser type, operating system, referring pages, pages viewed, and approximate location inferred from technical signals.
• Cookies and similar technologies, which help us understand site performance, improve user experience, remember preferences, and measure readership.

How we use information

We use personal data to:

• send newsletters, editorial updates, and service communications you request;
• respond to inquiries, correction requests, and partnership or editorial messages;
• analyze traffic, diagnose errors, and improve our content, products, and user experience;
• detect misuse, fraud, or activity that could harm the site or our readers; and
• comply with legal obligations and enforce our policies.

Legal bases for processing

Where GDPR or similar laws apply, we rely on one or more of the following legal bases: your consent, performance of a contract or steps taken at your request before entering into one, our legitimate interests in operating and improving the site, and compliance with legal obligations.

Our legitimate interests include publishing editorial content, understanding site usage, keeping the platform secure, preventing abuse, and managing reader relationships in a proportionate way.

How we share information

We do not sell your personal data. We may share information with:

• hosting, analytics, email, and infrastructure providers that support operation of the site;
• professional advisers such as legal, accounting, or compliance providers where necessary;
• law enforcement, regulators, courts, or other parties when required by law or to protect rights and safety; and
• a buyer, investor, or successor entity if BitFoundry is involved in a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets.

Service providers are only given access to personal data as reasonably necessary for the services they perform for us and are expected to protect it appropriately.

International transfers

CollectorsPrice may use providers located in countries other than your own. Where personal data is transferred outside the European Economic Area, United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with transfer restrictions, we take steps intended to provide appropriate safeguards, such as contractual protections or reliance on an adequacy decision where available.

Data retention

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this policy, including to provide requested services, maintain records, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements.

Retention periods vary depending on the type of data, the sensitivity of the information, and whether we have an ongoing operational or legal need to keep it.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to our processing of your personal data, and to request portability of certain information. Where we rely on consent, you may withdraw that consent at any time without affecting processing already carried out.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority, including in Estonia or in the country where you live or work.

Cookies and tracking

We may use cookies and similar technologies for functionality, analytics, security, and performance. You can usually control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling certain cookies may affect how parts of the site function.

Children's privacy

CollectorsPrice is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal data to us, please contact us so we can review and delete the information if appropriate.

Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect personal data. No method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the date at the top of the page. Material changes will take effect when posted unless a different effective date is stated.
