Introduction
This Privacy Policy explains how AcriNet collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at acrinet.com. As an informational blog providing blockchain research and cryptocurrency insights, we do not collect personal data through registrations or databases. This policy applies solely to data gathered automatically through standard web technologies.

- Operating system
- Pages visited and time spent on site

This information is not linked to any personally identifiable details and cannot be used to identify you individually.
How We Use Information
The data collected is used solely for the following purposes:
- Improving website performance and user experience
- Understanding traffic patterns and popular content
- Maintaining site security and functionality
- Generating anonymous usage statistics
We do not use this information for targeted advertising, profiling, or selling to third parties. No personal data is stored, processed, or retained beyond what is necessary for basic site operations.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. These include:
- Session cookies to maintain site functionality

- Preference cookies to remember your settings
Cookies do not store names, emails, or other personal identifiers. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some site features but will not prevent access to content.
Third-Party Services
AcriNet uses trusted third-party services to support website operations:
- Google Analytics: Collects anonymous traffic data to understand how visitors interact with the site. Google’s privacy practices are governed by its own Privacy Policy.
- Advertising networks: We may use ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense) to display non-personalized ads based on general site content. These services use cookies to serve ads, but do not collect personally identifiable information.
- Content delivery networks: Services like Cloudflare help secure and accelerate site delivery.
We do not share your data with third parties for marketing or commercial purposes. All third-party services are selected based on their commitment to privacy and compliance with applicable laws.
Data Security
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the confidentiality and integrity of the data we collect. This includes secure servers, encrypted connections (HTTPS), and regular security reviews. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to protect your information to the best of our ability.
Your Rights
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:
- Know what personal information is 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 and do not collect personally identifiable information, these rights are largely not applicable. However, if you believe we have collected any data that could be considered personal under CCPA, please contact us using the details below. We will respond within 45 days.
Children's Privacy
AcriNet is not intended for use by 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 take steps to delete it promptly.
