Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how PoolWeb3 collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at poolweb3.com. We are committed to transparency and respect for your privacy. Please note that PoolWeb3 is an informational blog and does not require registration, collect personal data for storage, or maintain user databases.
Information We Collect
When you visit PoolWeb3, certain information is automatically collected 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
- Referring URLs
- Cookies and similar tracking technologies
This information is collected passively and is not linked to any personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it (e.g., by emailing us directly).
How We Use Information
The data collected 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 comply with legal obligations and detect fraudulent activity
We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties. No personal data is stored in databases or retained longer than necessary for operational purposes.
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 usage.
Types of cookies we use include:
- Essential cookies: Necessary for the website to function (e.g., session management)
- Analytics cookies: Used by third-party services like Google Analytics to measure traffic and engagement
- Advertising cookies: Used by ad networks to serve relevant content (see Third-Party Services below)
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some website features but will not prevent you from accessing content.
Third-Party Services
PoolWeb3 uses third-party services to support website operations. These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:
- Google Analytics: Tracks anonymous usage patterns to improve site performance. Google’s privacy policy is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy.
- Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense): Serve contextual ads based on page content, not personal profiles. Ad networks may use cookies to serve ads across the web.
- Cloudflare: Provides security and performance optimization. Cloudflare processes IP addresses for DDoS protection and may log access data.
We do not control these services and encourage you to review their privacy policies. We do not share personal data with these providers beyond what is necessary for service functionality.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect, including secure servers and encrypted connections (HTTPS). 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 practices.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is 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
Since PoolWeb3 does not sell personal data and does not collect personally identifiable information for storage, these rights are largely not applicable. However, if you believe we have collected identifiable data about you, you may contact us at [email protected] to request information or deletion.
Children's Privacy
PoolWeb3 does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal data, please contact us immediately so we can remove it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The latest version will always be posted on this page with the Last Updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our homepage.
