Privacy Policy – Bitcoin Nonprofit Directory

1. Overview

Bitcoin Nonprofit Directory (bitcoinnonprofit.directory) is a research-based public directory. We are committed to minimal data collection. This policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and what we do not do with it.

2. Data We Collect

Analytics data: We use privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns -- pages visited, referral sources, and general geographic regions. This data is anonymized and not linked to individual identities.

Organization submission data: If you submit an organization for consideration via the Submit Organization form, we collect the information you voluntarily provide (organization name, website, contact details). This data is used solely to evaluate the submission.

Server logs: Standard web server logs may record IP addresses, browser type, and page requests for security and performance monitoring. Logs are retained for a maximum of 30 days.

3. Data We Do Not Collect

--We do not require account registration to browse the directory.
--We do not collect payment information.
--We do not build individual user profiles.
--We do not use third-party advertising networks.
--We do not sell, rent, or trade any data to third parties.
--We do not use cross-site tracking cookies.

4. Cookies

This site uses session cookies required for basic site functionality (such as authentication state if you log in). We do not use persistent tracking cookies. Analytics may use a first-party cookie to distinguish unique sessions; this cookie does not identify you personally and expires at the end of your session or within 24 hours.

5. Third-Party Services

The site may load fonts from Google Fonts and use analytics services. These services may set their own cookies subject to their respective privacy policies. We do not control third-party data practices. External links to nonprofit websites are provided for reference only -- we are not responsible for the privacy practices of linked sites.

6. Data Retention

Organization submission data is retained for as long as necessary to evaluate and process the submission. Server logs are deleted after 30 days. Analytics data is aggregated and anonymized; individual session data is not retained beyond 90 days.

7. Your Rights

If you submitted organization data and wish to have it removed or corrected, use our Contact page to submit a Data Correction or Removal Request. We will respond within 30 days. Because we do not collect personally identifiable information from general browsing, there is no personal data profile to request or delete for standard site visitors.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. Material changes will be noted with an updated effective date at the top of this page. Continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
