This Privacy Policy explains how CryptoAlgo (“we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and discloses personal information when you visit cryptoalgo.com.au. We comply with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs) under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

1. Who we are

CryptoAlgo is an independent Australian publication operating cryptoalgo.com.au. For privacy enquiries, contact us via our contact page.

2. What information we collect

Information you provide

  • Newsletter sign-up: email address.
  • Contact form: name, email, message.
  • Comments (if enabled): name, email, comment text, website URL (optional).

Information collected automatically

  • Server logs: IP address, user agent, referring URL, pages visited, timestamps.
  • Cookies and similar technologies: see our Cookie Policy.
  • Analytics: Google Analytics 4 collects aggregated usage data such as pages viewed, session duration, country, device type, and traffic source. IP addresses are anonymised by Google.

Information from third parties

If you click an affiliate link and sign up to a partner platform, that partner may pass back a referral identifier (typically a hashed sub-ID) to confirm the conversion. We do not receive your name, email, or any account information from partners — only an aggregated commission report.

3. How we use your information

  • To send the newsletter you subscribed to.
  • To respond to enquiries from the contact form.
  • To understand how the site is used and improve it.
  • To detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or security incidents.
  • To comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell your personal information.

4. Disclosure to third parties

We share information with the following categories of service providers:

  • Hosting and infrastructure (servers, CDN, email delivery).
  • Analytics (Google Analytics 4 — Google Ireland Limited / Google LLC).
  • Affiliate networks for click attribution (no personal data shared by us).

Some providers store data outside Australia (typically the United States or the European Union). When this happens we take reasonable steps to ensure they handle your data consistently with the APPs.

5. How we protect your data

We use HTTPS across the entire site, password-hash all admin accounts, restrict server access to authorised personnel, and run automated security scanning. No system is perfectly secure, but we apply reasonable steps to protect data from misuse, interference, loss, and unauthorised access.

6. How long we keep data

  • Newsletter list: until you unsubscribe.
  • Contact form messages: 24 months, then deleted.
  • Server logs: 90 days.
  • Analytics: 14 months (Google Analytics 4 default retention).

7. Your rights

Under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth), you can:

  • Ask what personal information we hold about you.
  • Ask us to correct inaccurate information.
  • Withdraw consent (e.g. unsubscribe from the newsletter).
  • Request deletion of your personal information, subject to legal exceptions.
  • Make a complaint about how we’ve handled your data.

To exercise these rights, email us via the contact page. If you’re not satisfied with our response, you can complain to the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC).

8. Children

This site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has submitted information, please contact us and we’ll delete it.

9. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top will reflect any change. Material changes will be flagged on the home page or via the newsletter.
