Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Home of Web3, Blockchain, Tokens & Airdrops ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, hwbta.org. We do not require registration, collect personal data in databases, or store identifiable information about our visitors. This policy applies solely to information gathered through our website.

Information We Collect

When you visit hwbta.org, we automatically collect certain non-personal information through standard web technologies. This includes:

• IP address (used only for security and geographic analytics)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referring website or search term
• Standard server log data

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form or comment section — and even then, such data is not stored in a database.

How We Use Information

The information we collect 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 security and stability of our website
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your information for marketing, profiling, or selling to third parties. All data is aggregated and anonymized.

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 properly
• Analytics cookies: Used by third-party services to measure traffic and engagement
• Advertising cookies: Used by advertising networks to display relevant content

You can control cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some website features but will not prevent access to content.

Third-Party Services

We use trusted third-party services to operate and improve our website. These services may collect information independently under their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics: Tracks anonymous usage patterns to help us understand how visitors interact with our site.
• Google AdSense: Displays advertisements based on your browsing behavior. AdSense uses cookies to serve relevant ads.
• Cloudflare: Provides security and performance optimization, collecting server logs for threat detection.

We do not share your personal data with these services. Any data collected by them is governed by their respective privacy policies, which we encourage you to review.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the data we handle. Our website uses HTTPS encryption, and server logs are retained for a limited time before being automatically deleted. We do not store any personally identifiable information in databases, reducing the risk of data breaches.

While we take reasonable steps to secure your information, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but remain committed to protecting your privacy.

Your Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information is being 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 we do not sell personal data or maintain databases of identifiable information, your rights primarily relate to access and deletion requests concerning any voluntarily submitted information (e.g., via contact forms). To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected].

Children's Privacy

Our website is not directed toward individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If we become aware that we have inadvertently collected such information, we will promptly delete it in compliance with the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. The most current version will always be posted on this page with the updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Material changes will be communicated via a notice on our homepage. Continued use of the site after updates constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
