1. Introduction & Core Commitment
At defibreaking.com, protecting our readers' data privacy is a foundational operational principle. This Privacy Policy details the exact parameters of how we collect, store, handle, and process your information when you visit our digital publication, interact with our news feeds, or subscribe to our newsletters.
We operate under a strict data minimisation framework. We do not collect personal names, residential addresses, physical contact details, or financial payment data. Our primary operational goal is to publish objective, high-quality on-chain analysis and Web3 news without maintaining unnecessary records of our users' identities.

- Ledgers: Public blockchain addresses are stored on open, unalterable databases
2. The Categories of Information We Process
Voluntary Information
If you subscribe to the DeFi Breaking Intelligence Letter, we collect and store your email address. This is utilized strictly to send you our weekly summaries. This database is encrypted and we do not share it with external marketing firms.
Automated Log Data
When you load pages on our site, our servers automatically log anonymous metadata like browser types, operating systems, and generalized referrer locations. This is utilized to measure traffic peaks and optimize Google PageSpeed scores.
On-Chain Ledger Data
Please note that public cryptographic wallet addresses and smart contract interactions are written permanently on decentralized, public blockchain ledgers. This transactional data is beyond our control or capacity to alter or delete.
3. Cookies & Analytic Tracking
We use cookies (small text files stored by your browser) to optimize your reading experience, remember simple responsive layout states, and track general traffic behavior through anonymized analytical platforms.
Our analytical tools are configured to anonymize visitor IP addresses prior to processing. This means we do not track your digital path outside of defibreaking.com, nor do we build behavioral profiles of individual readers.
You can easily configure your web browser to reject cookies or notify you before they are set. Disabling cookies will not prevent you from accessing any news content, tables, or registries on our website.
