Privacy Policy

COMMITMENT TO YOUR PRIVACY

This site is owned and operated by Rubicon Crypto, LLC. Your privacy on the Internet is of the utmost importance to us and at Rubicon Crypto, we want to make your experience online both satisfying and safe.

Because we gather certain types of information about our users, we feel you should fully understand the terms and conditions surrounding the capture and use of that data. As such, this privacy statement discloses the information we gather and how we use it.

Simply put, Rubicon Crypto, LLC gathers two types of information about users:

  • First, we gather information that users provide through optional, voluntary submissions to receive our electronic newsletters, to participate in our webinars or virtual forums, and, from participation in polls and surveys.
  • Second, Rubicon Crypto, LLC gathers information through the aggregated tracking of data derived mainly by tallying page views throughout our sites. This information allows us to better tailor our content to readers' needs by understanding more fully the demographics of our audience. Under no circumstances does Rubicon Crypto, LLC divulge any information about an individual user to a third party.

OPTIONAL VOLUNTARY INFORMATION

We offer the following free services, which requires some level of voluntary submission of personal information by users:

  1. Electronic newsletters, blogs, webinars and whitepapers
    We will offer variety of free electronic newsletters, blogs, webinars and whitepapers to users. Rubicon Crypto, LLC gathers the email addresses of users who voluntarily subscribe. Users may remove themselves from this mailing list by following the link provided in every newsletter that points users to the subscription management page. Users can also unsubscribe to the newsletters at the time of registration.
  2. Polling
    We may offer interactive polls to users so they can easily share their opinions with other users and see what our audience thinks about important issues. Opinions or other responses to polls are aggregated and are not identifiable to any particular user. Rubicon Crypto, LLC may use a system to "tag" users after they have voted, so they can vote only once on a particular question. This tag is not correlated with information about individual users.
  3. Surveys

USAGE TRACKING

Rubicon Crypto sometimes tracks and catalogs the search terms that users enter in our search function, but this tracking is never associated with individual users. We use tracking information to determine which areas of our site users prefer based on traffic to those areas. We do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall. This helps us continue to build a better service for you.

We may place a text file called a "cookie" in the browser files of your computer.

As stated above, we use information that users voluntarily provide in order to send out electronic newsletters and to enable users to participate in polls, surveys and webinars. We send out newsletters and blogs to subscribers on a regular schedule, and occasionally send out special editions when we think subscribers might be particularly interested in a topic or industry event. Rubicon Crypto, LLC never shares our mailing lists with any third parties, including advertisers, sponsors or partners.

When we use tracking information to determine which areas of our site users prefer, we do not track what individual users read, but rather how well each page performs overall.
