Privacy policy
The short version: this site has no accounts, no forms, no cookies of its own and no analytics. It cannot identify you, and it has nothing to sell about you.
What this site collects
Nothing that identifies you. There is no sign-up, no comment system, no newsletter, no contact form and no search box that records what you typed. Nothing here asks for an email address, and nothing here will ever ask for wallet details, passwords or a recovery phrase.
Cookies and local storage
This site does not set advertising or analytics cookies and does not store anything in your browser's local storage. It runs no tracking pixels and no third-party analytics scripts. If you reached this site through another service, that service may have its own cookies — those are governed by its policy, not this one.
Server logs
Like any website, the hosting platform serving these pages may record standard technical data for security and reliability: the requested page, the time of the request, an approximate location derived from an IP address, and the browser's user-agent string. That data is used to run and protect the service and is not combined with anything else to identify a reader.
Third parties involved in serving a page
Two kinds of third party can see a request from your browser while you read this site:
- The hosting platform that serves the pages, as described under server logs above.
- Stock-photo content delivery networks. Photographs used in the guide are served from Unsplash and Pexels, so loading a page that includes a photograph sends a request to those CDNs, which will see your IP address and user-agent. Their own privacy policies apply to those requests.
There are no other embedded services: no fonts requested from a font CDN, no advertising networks, no social widgets and no analytics providers.
External links
Outbound links — including to Coinbase's official pages — take you to sites with their own privacy practices. This policy stops applying the moment you leave this site.
Children
This site is written for adults setting up a wallet. It is not directed at children and collects no data from anyone, regardless of age.
Changes to this policy
If the site ever adds something that touches privacy — a form, analytics, embedded video — this page will be updated and the review date at the top will change. The date is the honest indicator of which version you are reading.
Questions
This is a static information site with no data to access, correct or delete, because none is held. For how the content is produced, see the about page; for the limits of what this guide can be relied on for, see the disclaimer.
