Overview

ChainSignal ("we," "our," or "the publication") is committed to protecting the privacy of our readers. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data.

Information We Collect

Account information: When you create an account or subscribe to the newsletter, we collect your name, email address, and optional role information. Account data is used only for authentication and newsletter delivery.

Contact form submissions: When you submit an editorial inquiry, correction request, or case study lead via the contact form, we collect the information you provide (name, email, message content).

Usage data: We may collect anonymized usage data (page views, referral sources) to understand how the publication is used. This data is aggregated and does not identify individual readers.

Cookies: We use session cookies to maintain authentication state. We may use analytics cookies to understand aggregate traffic patterns. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; this will not affect your ability to read ChainSignal content.

How We Use Your Information

  • To authenticate your account and maintain session state
  • To deliver the ChainSignal newsletter when you subscribe
  • To respond to editorial inquiries, corrections, and feedback
  • To improve the publication's content coverage and structure
  • To comply with applicable legal obligations

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties for marketing purposes. Contact form submissions are not shared with vendors mentioned in ChainSignal content.

Data Retention

Account data is retained as long as your account is active. You may request deletion of your account and associated data by contacting us via the editorial inquiry form. Newsletter subscription data is removed when you unsubscribe. Contact form submissions may be retained for up to 24 months to support editorial follow-up.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us via the editorial inquiry form and select "General Editorial Feedback."

EU/EEA readers: ChainSignal processes personal data on the basis of legitimate interest (publication operations) and consent (newsletter subscription). You may withdraw newsletter consent at any time by unsubscribing.

Third-Party Services

ChainSignal may use third-party services for analytics, newsletter delivery, and infrastructure. These services are selected to minimize data exposure. Third-party services operate under their own privacy policies and are not permitted to use ChainSignal reader data for their own marketing purposes.

Privacy Inquiries

For privacy-specific questions or requests, use the editorial inquiry form and note that your inquiry is privacy-related.
