Stealthex — Privacy

Information We Collect

This review site collects a minimal amount of information from visitors in order to operate effectively and improve the user experience. When you visit our pages, certain technical data is automatically recorded, including your IP address, browser type, operating system, and the pages you navigate to during your session. If you choose to submit a contact form or sign up for newsletter updates, we also collect the name and email address you provide voluntarily. We do not collect financial data, payment card information, or any sensitive personal identifiers beyond what is described here. Our data collection philosophy aligns with the values of the platforms we review: collect only what is necessary, store it responsibly, and never exploit it for unauthorized purposes. All information gathered is handled in strict accordance with applicable data protection laws.

How We Use Your Data

The data we collect is used exclusively to operate this website, respond to user inquiries, and improve the quality of our content and recommendations. Technical data such as browser type and IP address is analyzed in aggregate form to understand traffic patterns and optimize page performance. Contact information submitted via forms is used solely to respond to the specific request made and, with your consent, to send periodic updates about new reviews or guides. We do not use your personal data to build advertising profiles, sell to data brokers, or engage in any form of behavioral targeting. Analytics data helps us understand which content is most valuable to readers so we can prioritize future reviews accordingly. Your trust is fundamental to our operation, and we are committed to using your data only in ways that genuinely serve your interests.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

This site uses cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather anonymous usage statistics. Essential cookies are necessary for the website to function correctly and cannot be disabled without affecting core site functionality. Analytical cookies, provided by services such as Google Analytics, help us understand how visitors interact with our content so that we can make meaningful improvements. Preference cookies remember your settings and choices to provide a more personalized experience on return visits. You have full control over non-essential cookies and can manage your preferences through the cookie consent banner displayed on your first visit. Most web browsers also allow you to control cookie storage through their built-in settings, and you can delete existing cookies at any time.

Third-Party Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties under any circumstances. However, we do work with a limited number of trusted third-party service providers who assist in operating this website, and these providers may have access to certain technical data as a consequence of their services. For example, our hosting provider processes server logs that include IP addresses, and our analytics provider processes aggregated browsing data. All third-party partners are contractually obligated to handle any data in accordance with applicable privacy laws and our own data protection standards. We may also disclose information if legally required to do so by a valid court order or government authority. Beyond these limited and necessary circumstances, your data remains within our control and is never shared for commercial purposes.

Data Security

We take the security of your personal information seriously and implement a range of technical and organizational measures to protect it from unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. Our website is secured with SSL/TLS encryption, ensuring that all data transmitted between your browser and our servers is protected in transit. Access to collected data is restricted to authorized personnel only, and internal access controls are regularly reviewed and updated. We conduct periodic security assessments to identify potential vulnerabilities and address them proactively. While no system can guarantee absolute security, we are committed to maintaining industry-standard protections at all times. In the unlikely event of a data breach that affects your personal information, we will notify affected users in accordance with applicable legal requirements.

Your Rights as a User

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have a range of rights with respect to the personal data we hold about you. These rights may include the right to access a copy of your data, the right to correct inaccurate information, the right to request deletion of your data, and the right to object to or restrict certain types of processing. European users benefit from the comprehensive protections provided by the General Data Protection Regulation, including the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. California residents may have additional rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act, including the right to know what personal information is collected and shared. To exercise any of your rights, please contact us using the information provided in the contact section of this policy. We will respond to all legitimate requests within the timeframe required by applicable law.

Data Retention

We retain personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Contact form submissions and associated correspondence are retained for a period of up to 24 months to allow for follow-up and quality assurance, after which they are securely deleted. Aggregated and anonymized analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be used to identify individual users. Server logs containing technical data such as IP addresses are typically retained for no more than 90 days unless a longer retention period is required for security investigation purposes. If you have subscribed to email communications from us, your contact information will be retained until you choose to unsubscribe. Upon receiving a valid deletion request, we will remove your personal data from our active systems within 30 days.

International Data Transfers

This website is operated from servers that may be located in jurisdictions outside of your home country, which means your personal data may be transferred internationally. When data is transferred outside of the European Economic Area, we ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect it, such as Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission. We select international service providers carefully, prioritizing those with demonstrated compliance with international data protection standards. By using this website, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own. We remain committed to ensuring that any such transfers are conducted lawfully and that your data receives an equivalent level of protection regardless of where it is processed. If you have concerns about international transfers of your data, please contact us directly.

Children's Privacy

This website is not directed at or intended for use by individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. The cryptocurrency exchange services reviewed on this platform are financial tools intended for adults, and access by minors is neither encouraged nor supported. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under the age of 18, we will take immediate steps to delete that information from our records. Parents or guardians who believe their child may have provided personal information to this site are encouraged to contact us so that we can investigate and take appropriate action. We encourage parents and guardians to monitor their children's online activities and educate them about safe internet use. Protecting the privacy of young users is a responsibility we take seriously.

We reserve the right to update or modify this privacy policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, applicable laws, or website functionality. When material changes are made, we will update the effective date displayed at the top of this policy and, where appropriate, notify users through a prominent notice on the website. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of this website after any changes to the policy have been posted constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you disagree with a revised policy, your recourse is to discontinue use of the site. We are committed to maintaining transparency about our data practices and will always communicate significant changes clearly and promptly.
