This policy explains what information MineralsCoins collects when you use mineralscoins.com, why it is collected and what choices you have. We have tried to write it in plain language rather than legal boilerplate.
Information we collect directly
Very little. The site has no user accounts, no registration and no newsletter. You can play every quiz without providing any personal information at all.
Quiz scores are calculated in your browser while you play and are discarded when you leave or reload the page. They are never transmitted to us and never stored on a server.
If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you choose to write. That correspondence is used only to reply to you, and it is not added to any marketing list.
Information collected automatically
Like virtually all websites, our hosting provider records standard server logs when a page is requested. These typically include the IP address making the request, the browser and operating system, the page requested and the time of the request. Logs are used for security and for diagnosing technical faults.
Cookies
MineralsCoins does not set its own tracking cookies and does not use cookies to identify you across visits. Third parties, including advertising partners, may set cookies as described below. Our cookie policy covers this in more detail, including how to disable cookies in your browser.
Advertising
We intend to display advertising to fund the site. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party vendor cookies for personalised advertising at aboutads.info or the Network Advertising Initiative.
Third-party advertising vendors operate under their own privacy policies. We do not control what they collect and we do not receive personally identifying information from them.
Analytics
If we use an analytics service, it will be configured to measure aggregate traffic patterns rather than to identify individuals. We do not sell, rent or trade any data about visitors.
Children
This site is intended for a general audience and is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, contact us and we will delete it.
Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to request access to the personal data we hold about you, request its correction or deletion, object to certain processing, or withdraw consent for personalised advertising. Because we hold almost no personal data, most requests are straightforward. Write to [email protected] and we will respond.
Visitors in the European Economic Area and the United Kingdom have these rights under the GDPR. Residents of California have comparable rights under the CCPA, including the right to know what is collected and the right to opt out of any sale of personal information. We do not sell personal information.
External links
Our articles occasionally link to other websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or the content of those sites, and we encourage you to read their policies.
Changes to this policy
If this policy changes materially, we will update the date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after a change constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
