Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how BTC Ignite collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website at btcignite.com. We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. This policy applies to all visitors of our informational blog, which does not require registration or collect personal data directly from users.
Information We Collect
When you visit BTC Ignite, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies. This includes:
- IP address and approximate geographic location
- Browser type and version
- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site
- Referral source (e.g., search engine or social media)
- Standard server log data
We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or comment section — and even then, such data is not stored in a database.
How We Use Information
The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:
- To analyze website traffic and improve user experience
- To understand which content is most valuable to our readers
- To ensure the website functions properly and securely
- To deliver relevant advertising through third-party networks
We do not sell, rent, or trade your data. All usage is strictly for operational and analytical purposes related to running this informational blog.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site performance.
Types of cookies we use include:
- Essential cookies: Required for basic site functionality
- Performance cookies: Used by analytics services to measure traffic
- Advertising cookies: Used by third-party networks to show relevant ads
You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some features of the site but will not prevent you from accessing content.
Third-Party Services
We use trusted third-party services to support our website operations:
- Google Analytics: To track anonymous usage patterns and improve content
- Google AdSense: To display advertisements relevant to our audience
- Cloudflare: To enhance security and website performance
These services may collect data such as your IP address, browser information, and browsing behavior. They operate under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to review:
We do not have direct control over these third parties’ data practices.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use industry-standard protections.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is being collected about them
- Request deletion of their personal information
- Opt out of the sale of their personal information
- Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights
While we do not sell personal data, we do allow third-party advertising partners to collect data for targeted ads — which may be considered a "sale" under CCPA. You may opt out of this through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page or by adjusting your browser settings.
Children's Privacy
BTC Ignite is designed for general audiences and does not knowingly collect personal information from children under the age of 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected data from a child under 13, we will take immediate steps to delete that information. Parents or guardians who believe their child has provided us with personal information should contact us immediately.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any material changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
