Cryptomagzine is a UK-focused blog. It publishes clear guides for beginners who want to learn about cryptocurrency.
Who is responsible for your data
Cryptomagzine is the data controller for this website. That means we decide how and why your personal data is used on this site.
If you have a question about this policy, or if you want to make a privacy request, please email mkaleemullahad@gmail.com.
What data we collect
We collect only the data we need to run this site and to reply to readers. We do not collect payment details. We do not ask you to create an account to read our guides.
Comments
Comments are allowed on new posts on this site. If you leave a comment, we collect the details you enter in the comment form. That is normally your name and your email address, plus your comment.
We also collect your IP address and your browser user agent string. We use these details to help detect spam.
If you use Gravatar, an anonymised string created from your email address may be sent to the Gravatar service. This is used to check if you use that service. The Gravatar service privacy policy is available at https://automattic.com/privacy/. After your comment is approved, your profile picture is visible to the public in the context of your comment.
Contact by email
If you email us, we collect your email address and the details you include in your message. We use this information only to reply to you and to deal with your request.
Cookies
This site uses cookies. WordPress sets cookies to manage log-ins and comment forms. For example, a comment cookie can save your name, email address and website so you do not need to enter them again.
Security services used by our host may also set cookies to protect the site. Please see our Cookie Policy for more detail.
Analytics
We do not use Google Analytics or any other analytics service on this site at present. We do not track you across other websites for analytics.
Server logs
Our hosting provider may keep server logs. These logs can include your IP address, the pages you visit, the date and time of your visit, and your browser type. We use these logs for security and for fixing technical problems. We do not use them to identify individual readers.
Embedded content from other websites
Some pages may include embedded content from other websites. Examples are videos, images or articles. Embedded content behaves in the same way as if you had visited the other website directly.
Those websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed extra third party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content. This includes tracking your interaction if you have an account and are logged in to that website.
How we use your data
We use your data for these purposes only.
- To publish and manage comments.
- To reply to emails from readers.
- To keep the site secure and working well.
- To meet our legal duties.
Our lawful bases under UK GDPR are consent, where you choose to comment or contact us, and legitimate interests, where we need to run and protect the site.
Who we share your data with
We do not sell your personal data. We share it only where it is needed to run the site.
- Our hosting provider, to host the site and keep it secure.
- Gravatar, if you use it with a comment, as explained above.
- Future advertising or affiliate partners, if we add them. Please see the section below.
If you request a password reset as a registered user, your IP address will be included in the reset email.
Advertising and affiliate links
At present, this site does not show paid advertising. In future, it may show ads, including Google AdSense, and it may include affiliate links.
If we add affiliate links, we may earn a commission if you buy through a link. This will not cost you extra. If we add advertising, the advertising provider may use cookies to show relevant ads. We will update this policy and our Cookie Policy if that changes.
How long we keep your data
If you leave a comment, the comment and its metadata are kept indefinitely. This allows us to recognise and approve any follow up comments automatically, instead of holding them for moderation.
We keep emails only for as long as we need them to reply and to deal with your request. We then delete them.
For users who register on this website, if any, we store the personal information they provide in their user profile. All users can see, edit or delete their own personal information at any time, except they cannot change their username. Website administrators can also see and edit that information.

- Access: you can ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
- Correction: you can ask us to correct data that is wrong or incomplete.
- Deletion: you can ask us to delete your personal data, in some cases.
