Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 19, 2026. This policy will be updated as new features (analytics, newsletter) are added.

This Privacy Policy explains how Gunovula ("we", "us", or "our"), operated at gunovula.com, collects, uses, and shares information when you visit our website. We are committed to protecting your privacy and complying with applicable privacy laws including Canada's PIPEDA, the European Union's GDPR, and applicable US state privacy laws (including the CCPA/CPRA for California residents).

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We do not currently operate user accounts, contact forms, or email subscriptions. If and when we introduce an email newsletter, we will update this policy and collect only the email address you voluntarily provide.

1.2 Automatically Collected Data

When you visit our website, our hosting infrastructure may automatically record:

• IP address (typically anonymized or truncated)
• Browser type and version
• Referring URL and pages visited
• Date and time of your visit
• Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)

This data is used for operational purposes (security, uptime monitoring) and is not linked to individual identities.

1.3 Analytics (Coming Soon)

We intend to add Google Analytics to help us understand how visitors use Gunovula so we can improve our content. When enabled:

• Google Analytics will use cookies to collect aggregated, pseudonymous data about page views, session durations, and traffic sources.
• IP anonymization will be enabled (IP addresses truncated before storage).
• We will not use Google Analytics to build advertising profiles or share data with third-party advertisers.
• You will be able to opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-Out Browser Add-On.

This policy will be updated when Google Analytics is activated.

2. Cookies

Currently, Gunovula does not set first-party cookies for tracking or advertising purposes. When Google Analytics is enabled, it will set cookies (including _ga and _gid) to distinguish visitors and track sessions. You can control or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time.

Third-party services embedded on this site (such as the TradingView ticker widget and the ChangeNOW swap widget) may set their own cookies or collect data under their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing their policies:

• TradingView Privacy Policy
• ChangeNOW Privacy Policy

3. Affiliate Links

Some links on this site are affiliate links. This means that if you click on a link and make a purchase or sign up, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Our current affiliate partners include:

• ChangeNOW — instant cryptocurrency swaps
• Stoic AI — automated crypto trading
• Bitsgap — multi-exchange trading bots
• HaasOnline — advanced trading bot platform
• Coinrule — no-code automated trading

Affiliate links are clearly labelled on our site. Our editorial content is not influenced by affiliate relationships — we only recommend products we genuinely believe are valuable to our readers.

When you click an affiliate link, the third-party merchant may collect data about your visit under their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for data collected by third-party sites.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Operate and improve the Gunovula website
• Understand how visitors use our content (once analytics are enabled)
• Ensure the security and integrity of our site
• Comply with legal obligations

We do not sell your personal information to third parties. We do not use your data for behavioral advertising.

5. Data Sharing

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Service providers: Our hosting provider (Vercel) processes server logs. Vercel's privacy practices are governed by their Privacy Policy.
• Legal requirements: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request.
• Business transfers: If Gunovula is acquired or merges with another entity, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

6. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for a short period for security purposes and are then deleted or anonymized. When analytics and newsletter features are added, we will specify retention periods for each category of data collected.

7. Your Rights

7.1 Canadian Users (PIPEDA)

Under Canada's Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), you have the right to:

• Know what personal information we hold about you
• Request correction of inaccurate information
• Withdraw consent for collection, use, or disclosure of your personal information (subject to legal or contractual restrictions)
• Challenge our compliance with PIPEDA to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada

7.2 EU/EEA Users (GDPR)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
• Rectification — request correction of inaccurate data
• Erasure — request deletion of your personal data ("right to be forgotten")
• Restriction — request that we restrict processing of your data
• Data portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Object — object to processing based on legitimate interests
• Withdraw consent — where processing is based on consent

Our lawful basis for processing is legitimate interests (operating our website and improving content) and, where consent is required, your explicit consent.

7.3 California Users (CCPA/CPRA)

California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information we collect, use, and disclose
• Request deletion of personal information (subject to exceptions)
• Opt out of the sale of personal information — we do not sell personal information

8. Children's Privacy

Gunovula is not directed to children under 16 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child, please contact us immediately.

9. International Data Transfers

Our website is hosted on Vercel, which may store and process data in the United States and other countries. If you are located in the EU/EEA, be aware that these countries may not have the same data protection laws as your jurisdiction. By using our site, you consent to this transfer. When Google Analytics is enabled, data may also be processed by Google in the US.

10. Security

We use HTTPS encryption on all pages to protect data in transit. Our hosting provider (Vercel) applies industry-standard security measures. However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

11. Third-Party Links

Our site contains links to third-party websites (affiliate partners and external resources). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these sites. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.

12. Updates to This Policy

We will update this Privacy Policy when we add new features (Google Analytics, email newsletter, or other data collection). Changes will be reflected on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. We encourage you to check this page periodically.
