Last Updated: September 2025.
Axel Adler Jr. ("Company," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. We value the trust you place in us and recognize the importance of safeguarding your personal data. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect from users of our website and services, how we use and share that information, and your rights in relation to that information. Our aim is to comply with all applicable global privacy laws, including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK Data Protection Act, and relevant U.S. laws such as the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), among others. By using our Site or services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect information from you in a few different ways – directly from you when you provide it, automatically through technology, and from third parties (like service providers). The types of information we may collect include:
1.1 Personal Information You Provide
Contact Data: When you subscribe to our newsletters (e.g., Adler AM or Adler's Crypto Insights) or purchase our products, we may collect personal identifiers such as your name and email address. For example, signing up for the daily brief or weekly report will require an email address so we can deliver the content to you.
Account Information: If we offer account registrations for certain services, we may collect a username and password, and any profile details you choose to provide. (Currently, our site's primary interaction is via email subscriptions rather than user accounts, so this may not apply).
Payment Information: If you purchase a paid subscription or product from us, our third-party payment processor (e.g., Stripe, or Substack's payment system) will collect your payment card details and billing information. We ourselves do not store full credit card numbers or sensitive payment data on our servers; such information is handled by the secure payment processor. We may retain records of your purchases, subscription level, and transaction history (e.g., product name, date, and amount paid) for accounting and customer service purposes.
Communication Data: If you contact us (via email, contact form, or other means) with a question, feedback, or support request, we will collect the information you choose to provide in that communication (such as your name, email, and the contents of your message).
We will only use the personal information you provide for the purposes for which it was given (unless otherwise stated in this Policy or if you give consent to other uses).
1.2 Information We Collect Automatically
When you visit our website, certain data gets collected automatically by virtue of your interaction with our Site and services. This may include:
Usage Data: We may collect information about your activity on the site, such as the pages or content you view, the dates/times of your visits, the referring page (if you clicked a link to come to our Site), and your navigation paths (e.g., when you click on various sections or links).
Device and Technical Data: We may collect information about the device and browser you use to access the Site. This can include your IP address, browser type and version, device type (desktop, mobile, etc.), operating system, unique device identifiers or advertising IDs, and approximate location (e.g., city or country) based on IP address. This data helps us with analytics and troubleshooting (for instance, to see where our readers are generally located or which browsers we need to support).
Cookies and Similar Technologies: We use cookies and similar tracking technologies (such as web beacons or pixels) to collect information automatically. Cookies are small text files placed on your device that help the website function properly and gather analytics information. For example, cookies allow us to remember your preferences (like whether you've already seen a cookie consent banner) and understand how you interact with our content. For detailed information on what cookies we use and how to manage your preferences, please see our Cookie Preferences page.
Email Interaction Data: If you subscribe to our email publications, we may collect data about your interaction with those emails. For instance, our email service may log whether you open an email or click on certain links within it. This information helps us gauge engagement and refine our content (for example, understanding which topics are most interesting to our readers). These tracking mechanisms are typically embedded by the newsletter platform we use (such as Substack or an internal email tool) and you can opt out by unsubscribing from the emails if you do not wish to be tracked in this way.
1.3 Information from Third Parties
We may receive information about you from third-party sources in the following scenarios:
Email Delivery Platforms: If our newsletter Adler's Crypto Insights is hosted on a platform like Substack, we might receive subscriber information from that platform. For example, Substack (as a platform) could provide us with the list of email addresses of everyone who subscribed via their service, and perhaps profile information if you choose to share it. We treat such information in line with this Privacy Policy and any agreement we have with the platform.
Payment Processors: Our payment processors might provide us with limited information related to your transactions – such as a confirmation of payment, last four digits of a card (for identification), subscription status, or any updates to your billing info (like card expiration notices). This is used to manage your subscription and billing.
Analytics Providers: We might use third-party analytics services that provide us with aggregated information about our site traffic. This typically does not identify you individually, but rather provides trends (e.g., "X% of users are from Europe"). However, some analytics tools might use your IP or device ID to deduce location and count unique visits; we treat those in accordance with this Policy and do not attempt to identify individuals from analytics data.
Public Sources: On occasion, we might enrich our contact lists from public professional sources (e.g., if someone signs up with a business email, we might infer their company or role from public information). However, this is not a common practice for a content site like ours, and any such data would be handled with care to ensure relevance and compliance with laws.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the collected information for the following purposes, in each case processing only the data that is relevant and necessary for the specific purpose:
2.1 Providing and Improving Services
To Deliver Newsletters and Content: We use your email address and name (if provided) to send you the subscriptions you signed up for, such as the Adler AM emails or Adler's Crypto Insights weekly report. We may also use your email to send important service-related communications, like a confirmation when you subscribe or if there are updates to the content delivery (e.g., a change in schedule).
To Maintain Our Website: Device and usage data help us ensure the Site's functionality and performance. For example, logging information about errors or broken pages allows us to fix technical issues. Understanding browser/device types helps us optimize the Site's compatibility.
To Personalize User Experience: We might use cookies to remember your preferences on our site (such as language choice, if we ever offer multilingual content, or the state of a cookie consent banner). We do not use extensive personalization or profiling for content—everyone generally sees the same content on our Site—but minimal personalization might include recognizing a returning visitor versus new (for example, not showing a first-time welcome modal to a returning visitor).
To Improve Our Offerings: We analyze aggregated usage data and email engagement (opens/clicks) to understand what content is most useful to our audience. This helps us decide topics for future analysis, how to structure our reports, and generally to enhance our editorial strategy. For instance, if analytics indicate that a majority of readers clicked on a particular chart or topic in the newsletter, we learn that topic is of high interest. Similarly, if many subscribers are from a certain region, we might ensure our content addresses market contexts relevant to that region.
2.2 Communication and Support
Responding to Inquiries: If you contact us with questions, feedback, or requests, we will use your provided information (like email and the content of your query) to respond. We may keep records of such communications to help us manage ongoing support and to improve our services (for example, to track common questions which might inform an FAQ section).
Updates and Administrative Messages: We may send you administrative emails to inform you of important changes – for example, changes to terms or policies (including this Privacy Policy), security alerts, or if there's a service interruption affecting content delivery. These are not marketing communications but necessary notices. You cannot opt out of these service-related emails if you continue to use the service, as they are important for the operation of the service and your account.
2.3 Marketing and Optional Communications
We might use your information for marketing purposes, but only in line with your preferences and applicable law:
News and Offers: With your consent (if required), we may send occasional emails about new content offerings, special reports, product launches, or features you might be interested in. For instance, if we launch a new analysis product or a premium course, we might email our subscribers to announce it. These communications will be infrequent and we will provide a clear way to opt out (unsubscribe link in the email).
Surveys and Feedback: We may solicit feedback through surveys to our readers. For example, we might email a survey asking how users rate our Adler Strategy report or what topics they want to see more of. Participation in surveys is voluntary. Any feedback is used internally to improve our services and will be treated with confidentiality. If we want to publicly share some testimonial or comment you gave, we would seek your permission (and possibly anonymize it).
We will not sell your personal information to third-party marketers, and we do not share your personal data with third parties for their own direct marketing purposes unless you have explicitly given consent for that.
2.4 Legal and Security Purposes
Compliance: We may process personal data to comply with legal obligations, such as keeping proper business records, handling requests from governmental authorities, or fulfilling regulatory requirements (for example, tax records of sales, or compliance with data protection laws' requirements to demonstrate consent).
Enforcement: We may use data (including logs and certain personal identifiers) to enforce our Terms of Service and other legal agreements. For instance, if we detect activities that might violate our Acceptable Use Policy (such as attempts to scrape our content or a breach of security), we might use IP addresses or user account information to investigate and take appropriate action.
Protecting Rights and Interests: We may process personal data when necessary to protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, and/or that of our users or others. This could include efforts to detect and prevent fraud, spam, abuse, or security incidents. If required, we might use information to pursue or defend against legal claims. For example, if there were an allegation that content was accessed in violation of a law or agreement, logs might be reviewed as evidence.
Legal Bases for Processing (for EU Users): If you are in the European Economic Area (EEA) or another region with similar laws, we process your personal data under the following legal bases: (a) Contractual necessity – for data you provide to subscribe or purchase, we need it to deliver the service you requested; (b) Legitimate interests – for usage data and certain analytics which help improve our content (we balance this against your privacy rights, and where required we obtain consent, such as for non-essential cookies); (c) Consent – for sending marketing emails or placing certain cookies, we will rely on your consent which you can withdraw at any time; (d) Legal obligation – for any processing required to comply with laws or regulatory inquiries.
3. How We Share Your Information
We understand that your personal information is important, and we are not in the business of selling it. We share data only in the following contexts, and only the minimum necessary:
3.1 Service Providers (Processors)
We use trusted third-party companies to help us operate our website and deliver our services (often called "service providers" or "data processors"). These third parties perform functions on our behalf and under our instructions, and they are contractually obligated to protect your data and use it only for the agreed-upon purpose. Key service providers include:
Email Delivery and Newsletter Platforms: We may rely on a platform like Substack, Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or a similar service to manage our email subscriptions and send out newsletters. These platforms store your email address (and name, if provided) and are responsible for distributing our content emails. They also might collect data on email opens and link clicks for our account. We have agreements in place (including, where applicable, Data Processing Agreements) with these providers to ensure they only process your data in accordance with our instructions and privacy regulations.
Payment and E-commerce Processors: If you make a purchase or paid subscription, third-party payment processors (such as Stripe, PayPal, or Substack's Stripe integration) will process your payment information. These entities are PCI-DSS compliant and specialize in secure payment handling. We share with them the information needed to charge your card (like the transaction amount, your billing info, etc.), and they confirm to us when a payment is made. We do not receive your full credit card number or bank account details; those stay with the payment processor.
Web Hosting and Infrastructure: Our website might be hosted on a third-party hosting service or content management system. As a result, any data you provide through the website (including through forms or cookies) passes through and is stored on their servers. We ensure that such hosts employ strong security measures.
Analytics Providers: We may use external analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics or privacy-centric alternatives) to gather information about site usage. These tools may set their own cookies or tracking IDs. The data shared typically includes site usage information and device identifiers. We configure these services to avoid collecting directly identifying information where feasible (for instance, using IP anonymization with Google Analytics). The analytics providers compile reports for us about Site activity. They act as processors in the sense that they cannot use the data for their own purposes beyond providing the analytics service to us.
Other Tools: We might use various other software tools and providers for specific functionalities (for example, a customer relationship management tool for managing emails, or a survey tool for feedback collection). Any time personal data is shared with such a provider, it will be under terms that protect your information (e.g., through a DPA) and limit use strictly to our specified purposes.
A list of our current key sub-processors can be provided upon request. We ensure that all our service providers are bound by confidentiality and data protection obligations comparable to our own, and they will only process personal data in accordance with our instructions.
3.2 Within Our Organization
Your information may be accessed by members of our small team who need to use it for the purposes described. For instance, if you email a question, our research or support staff will see your email to respond. All personnel are bound by confidentiality agreements and trained on proper handling of personal data.
If Axel Adler Jr. operates under a corporate entity or has affiliates, we may share data within that corporate family on a need-to-know basis (for example, accounting might see purchase records, while research staff see subscriber counts). Any such intra-group sharing would still be used only for the purposes outlined and in compliance with this Policy (and, if transferring outside original country, under applicable safeguards).
3.3 Business Transactions
If in the future our company or Site is involved in a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or reorganization, personal data may be transferred to the successor or new owner as part of that transaction. We would ensure that any such transfer is subject to your existing rights and protections. For example, if another company buys Axel Adler Jr.'s website and assets, your subscriber information would likely be one of the transferred assets. In such an event, we will notify users (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on the site) of the change in ownership and any new privacy policy or changes thereto, and you would have the opportunity to discontinue your use or subscriptions if you do not wish your data handled by the successor.
3.4 Legal Requirements and Protection
We may disclose your personal information to third parties outside of our company if we have a good-faith belief that such disclosure is:
Required by Law or Legal Process: If we receive a subpoena, court order, or other legal demand, or if we are required to respond to lawful requests by public authorities (e.g., for national security or law enforcement), we may disclose data as necessary to comply. We will attempt to inform you of such requests when permissible and if we have your contact information (except in cases where it's prohibited or there is an overriding security concern).
To Protect Rights and Safety: We may share information when we believe it's necessary to prevent or address fraud, security breaches, or violations of our Terms of Service or policies. For instance, if someone is attempting to disrupt our services or harm other users, we might share relevant information with cybersecurity consultants or law enforcement agencies. We might also disclose information to enforce or defend legal rights, property, or safety of our organization, our users, or others. This includes exchanging information with other companies and organizations for fraud protection and credit risk reduction (though we currently don't extend credit).
We do not sell your personal information to third parties for monetary consideration. We also do not share personal data for targeted advertising purposes (as defined under various privacy laws) without consent. Any sharing that occurs is largely within the scope of service provision as described, or for legal compliance/protection.
3.5 Aggregate or De-Identified Data
We may also share information that has been aggregated or anonymized in such a way that it no longer reasonably identifies you. For example, we might publish aggregate statistics on our readership (e.g., "40% of our subscribers are based in Europe" or "Adler Strategy report achieved a 30% increase in readership this year"). This information would not include any personal data and is used to highlight trends or for research purposes. It is not subject to the same restrictions because it cannot be traced back to individual users.
4. International Data Transfers
Axel Adler Jr. is a global service; as such, your information may be stored and processed in countries other than your own. We primarily operate through infrastructure in the United States, and many of our service providers are also US-based or have servers in the US or other regions. If you are located outside the US (for example, in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere), your personal data may be transferred to and stored on servers in the United States or other jurisdictions.
The data protection laws of these countries may differ from those in your jurisdiction, and may not be deemed "adequate" by certain regulatory authorities (for instance, the EU). However, we take steps to ensure that appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your information in line with this Privacy Policy and applicable law. These include:
Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs): For transfers from the European Economic Area (EEA), UK, or Switzerland to the US or other countries not deemed to have adequate protection, we rely on European Commission-approved Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent mechanisms. For example, our contract with a service provider like Substack or a cloud host will include SCCs to cover EU->US data flow. These clauses contractually require the recipient to provide a level of protection to personal data equivalent to EU standards.
Privacy Frameworks: We also monitor developments like the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. If our providers are certified under such frameworks (or future approved transfer mechanisms), we will leverage those as appropriate.
Other Measures: We may also implement additional technical and organizational measures (encryption, access controls, etc.) when data is in transit or at rest, to further secure cross-border data. Additionally, we limit what data is transferred where possible. For instance, if an EU user signs up, and our analytics can function with anonymized data, we ensure full IP addresses are not stored unencrypted, etc.
By using our Site and providing us with information, you consent to the transfer of your personal data to the United States and potentially other countries, subject to the safeguards described. If you have questions about international transfer or need more specifics about our safeguards, please contact us (see Contact section). Users in the EU/UK have the right to request details of these safeguards.
5. Data Retention
We will retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, or for legitimate business purposes such as maintaining subscription records and handling any disputes or claims.
General retention periods:
Subscription Data (Email, Name): We keep your contact information on our mailing list as long as you remain subscribed. If you unsubscribe or opt-out, we will promptly remove your email from our active mailing lists. However, we may keep a record of your unsubscribe request to ensure we do not accidentally send you emails in the future, and as proof of consent management (as required by law).
Account Data: If user accounts are applicable and you choose to close your account (or we close it due to inactivity or violation), we will delete or anonymize personal data associated with your account within a reasonable period, except as required to retain for legal purposes. Some minimal information might be archived in system backups for a short time, or retained in logs, but we will not use it actively.
Payment Records: Purchase and payment history is generally retained for as long as you are a subscriber and thereafter as required for financial reporting and audits (typically 7 years, depending on tax law requirements). We keep invoices and transaction records as part of our business records.
Communications: Emails or communications you send to us may be kept for a period to allow us to reference past correspondence if you reach out again. We typically will not keep support emails longer than 3 years unless they relate to an ongoing issue or we are required to keep them (e.g., evidence for a dispute).
Analytics Data: Analytics data (via cookies or logs) is typically aggregated and anonymized over time. Raw web server logs containing IP addresses are usually rotated and deleted within 6 months at most. Analytics platforms often allow data retention settings; we aim to not keep granular analytics identifiable data longer than necessary (for instance, Google Analytics allows IP-anonymized data to be retained 26 months, after which only aggregate data persists).
When we have no ongoing legitimate need or legal obligation to process your personal information, we will either delete it or anonymize it. If deletion is not feasible (for example, because the data is stored in archived backups), we will securely store the data and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.
6. Your Rights and Choices
You have certain rights regarding your personal data and how we handle it. Below we outline the rights that may apply to you, depending on your jurisdiction, and how you can exercise them.
6.1 General Data Protection Rights (Applicable to EU, UK, and similar jurisdictions)
If you are in the European Union, United Kingdom, or another jurisdiction with analogous data protection laws, you typically have the following rights with respect to your personal data:
Right to Access: You can request confirmation of whether we are processing your personal data, and if so, ask for a copy of the personal data we hold about you. This allows you to check what information we have and that we're processing it lawfully.
Right to Rectification: If any of your personal data is inaccurate or incomplete, you have the right to ask us to correct or update it. For example, if you change your email address or notice a typo in our records, let us know and we will update it.
Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete your personal data, and we will do so if there's no lawful reason for us to retain it. This is sometimes called the "right to be forgotten." For instance, if you withdraw consent for a particular processing and we have no other legal basis to keep it, you can ask that your data be erased. Note: there are exceptions – we might retain certain information for legal obligations or legitimate interests (see Data Retention section).
Right to Restrict Processing: You can ask us to suspend the processing of your personal data in certain scenarios. For example, if you contest the accuracy of the data or have objected to processing (see below) and we are evaluating that request, you may request the data be held but not processed until resolved.
Right to Data Portability: You have the right to request a copy of personal data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format, and you may have the right to transmit that data to another service provider. This applies to data processed by us by automated means, based on your consent or a contract. In practice, this could mean, for instance, you might ask for your basic subscriber info and purchase history in a CSV file.
Right to Object: You can object to our processing of your personal data when we are relying on a legitimate interest (or those of a third party) and you have a particular situation which you feel makes such processing unfair to you. You also have the absolute right to object if your data is being processed for direct marketing purposes. If you object where appropriate, we will stop processing your personal information unless we have compelling legitimate grounds to continue or a legal requirement. For direct marketing objections, we will stop immediately.
Right to Withdraw Consent: If we are processing your personal data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time. For example, you can unsubscribe from our emails (withdrawing consent to email marketing) by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any marketing email or by contacting us. Withdrawing consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, and it may not affect processing under other legal bases.
To exercise any of these rights, please contact us using the contact details provided in the "Contact Us" section below. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law. For security, we may need to verify your identity (for example, by asking you to provide information associated with your data, or using a return-email verification) before fulfilling your request. Please note that these rights are not absolute; there are specific conditions and exemptions under which we may be unable to fulfill certain requests (we will explain if so).
6.2 California Privacy Rights (CCPA/CPRA)
If you are a resident of California, you have specific privacy rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) as amended by the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA). These include:
Right to Know: You can request that we disclose what personal information we have collected, used, disclosed, and "sold" or "shared" (if applicable) in the past 12 months, including the categories of sources, purposes, and third parties involved. Much of this is outlined in this Privacy Policy, but you can also request more detail on your specific data.
Right to Access: Similar to the above EU access right, you can request a copy of the specific pieces of personal information we have about you (data portability).
Right to Deletion: You can request that we delete personal information we have collected from you (with some exceptions as allowed by law, such as information needed to complete a transaction or to comply with a legal obligation).
Right to Correct: You have the right to request correction of inaccurate personal information we hold about you (reflecting the CPRA addition).
Right to Opt-Out of Sale or Sharing: We do not sell personal data for money. We also do not share personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising as defined by CCPA. In the event that changes and we engage in any practices that fall under "sale" or "sharing," we will update this policy and provide a "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link. As of the last update, this is not applicable – we treat any data sharing as described in this policy (service providers, etc.) which are not sales under CCPA definitions (service providers are exempt).
Right to Limit Use of Sensitive Personal Information: We do not collect or process "sensitive personal information" as defined by CCPA (like precise geolocation, social security numbers, etc.) beyond what is strictly necessary for providing our services (e.g., an email is necessary for a newsletter). If in future we did collect any sensitive info for non-essential reasons, California residents could direct us to limit its use (CPRA adds this right).
California consumers can exercise these rights by contacting us (see below). We will not discriminate against you for exercising any of these rights (meaning we won't deny you services or give you a different quality of service just because you exercised your privacy rights). Certain data may be exempt from these requests under California law (for example, publicly available information or data subject to federal laws like GLBA if ever relevant). We will explain any denial of requests.
6.3 Other State Privacy Rights
Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Other States: If you are a resident of Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, or other states with comprehensive privacy laws, you may have similar rights to those described above for EU users and California residents, including rights to access, correct, delete, and opt-out of certain processing. Please contact us to exercise these rights.
6.4 Managing Communication Preferences
Opting Out of Emails: As noted, if you no longer wish to receive our newsletter or marketing emails, you can opt out at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link at the bottom of those emails or by contacting us requesting removal. Even if you opt out of marketing, we may still send you non-promotional emails as required (like transactional or legal notices).
Cookie Preferences: For controlling cookies, you can adjust your preferences on our Cookie Preferences page on our Site. You can also set your web browser to refuse some or all cookies or to alert you when cookies are being sent. Note that if you disable or refuse cookies, some parts of our Site might become inaccessible or not function properly (for example, staying logged in, if that applies, or language settings). For more details, see the Cookie section above and our Cookie Policy.
6.5 Response Time
We aim to respond to any rights requests promptly, and at most within the timeframe the law requires (for instance, under GDPR typically one month, and we can extend by two further months if necessary, but we will inform you if an extension is needed; under CCPA, generally within 45 days, possibly extendable by another 45). There is typically no fee for making a request, but if requests become excessive or unfounded, we reserve the right to charge a reasonable fee or refuse, as permitted by law (we will justify any such decision to you).
If you have an unresolved privacy concern, you may have the right to contact your local data protection authority (for EU/UK users) or consumer protection agency (for California, the CPPA or the Attorney General's office). We encourage you to come to us first so we can try to address your concerns directly.
7. Security of Your Information
We employ a variety of technical and organizational security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. These measures include:
Encryption: We use TLS/SSL encryption to protect data transmitted on our Site (e.g., when you enter personal information or payment details on any web forms, that connection is encrypted). Data stored in our databases or with third-party services may also be encrypted at rest, especially sensitive fields.
Access Controls: We limit access to personal data to those employees, contractors, and service providers who have a business need to know such data. They operate under strict confidentiality obligations. Our internal systems that store personal data are protected by authentication requirements (such as strong passwords and, where possible, multi-factor authentication).
Firewalls and Network Security: Our website and back-end systems are protected by firewall technologies to prevent unauthorized external access. We keep our software and systems updated to patch vulnerabilities, and use security monitoring services to alert on suspicious activities.
Testing and Audit: We periodically review our information collection, storage, and processing practices to guard against unauthorized access. This might include vulnerability scans, penetration testing by professionals, or audits of our compliance with industry standards. Service providers handling data on our behalf are vetted for their security practices as well.
Data Minimization: We try not to collect more personal data than we need. By keeping the scope of data minimal, we inherently reduce the risk associated with storing large amounts of personal information. For example, if we don't need a physical address, we won't ask for it – thus eliminating any risk of that piece of data being compromised.
Incident Response: In the event of a data breach or security incident, we have a response plan which includes notifying affected users and regulators as required by law. We will take all appropriate steps to remediate the incident and prevent future occurrences. Our Data Processing Agreement further outlines steps we (and our processors) would take in the case of a personal data breach, such as prompt notification and cooperation with forensic analysis.
Despite all these measures, no website or Internet transmission is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security of data, as no method of electronic storage or transmission over the internet is 100% secure. However, we strive to protect your personal data and continuously improve our security measures. You also play a role in security: protect your account credentials, use unique passwords, and notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or a security vulnerability in our Site.
8. Third-Party Links and Services
Our Site or communications may contain links to websites, content, or services provided by third parties that we do not own or control (for example, an external link to a news article we reference, or a partner's site, or our social media profiles). This Privacy Policy does not apply to those third-party websites or services. Once you leave our Site or are redirected to a third-party service, their privacy policy and terms will apply. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of other sites. We encourage you to read the privacy statements of any third-party site you visit.
Specific examples:
- If you click a link in our Adler's Crypto Insights report that goes to a third-party charting platform or a crypto data site, any data they collect from you during your visit is governed by their policy, not ours.
- If you engage with us on social media (like Twitter/X or LinkedIn via links on our site), any information you provide to those platforms is under their privacy rules. We might see aggregate info (like number of likes, or your public profile if you interact with us), but we do not collect personal data from social media about our followers beyond what the platform provides and what is public.
- If we host any content through embedded frames or widgets (for example, an embedded Substack subscription form on our site or a YouTube video in a post), those third parties might be collecting usage data through the embedded content (e.g., YouTube might collect viewing stats). We will try to identify any such embeddings and ensure you are aware of those parties.
9. Children's Privacy
Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 16 (or the equivalent minimum age in the relevant jurisdiction) without verifiable parental consent. If you are under 16, please do not attempt to use our Site or subscribe to our content, and do not send us any personal information.
If we learn that we have inadvertently collected personal data from a child under 16 without appropriate consent, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. If you believe we might have any information from or about a minor under 16, please contact us immediately so that we can investigate and address the issue.
Parents or guardians: if you become aware that a child under your care has provided us with information without your consent, please contact us and we will work to remove that data and (if applicable) terminate the child's account or subscription.
10. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update or change this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will post the updated Policy on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. If the changes are significant, we will provide a more prominent notice (such as a banner on our website or an email notification to subscribers) to inform you of the update.
We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information. Your continued use of the Site or our services after any changes to this Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms (to the extent permitted by law). If you do not agree with any changes, you should stop using our Site and services and may request that we remove your personal data as per your rights.
