New Rates Tracker ("we," "us," or "our") operates newratestracker.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have.
1. Information We Collect
Information you provide directly:
If you sign up for a rate alert, we collect the email address you provide, along with the currency pair and target rate you specify. We do not require an account or password to use any tool on the Site.
Information collected automatically:
Like most websites, we automatically collect certain technical information when you visit, including your IP address, browser type, device type, pages visited, and general usage patterns. This is collected through standard web server logs and analytics tools.
Cookies:
We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Site, remember your preferences, and understand how visitors use our tools. You can control or disable cookies through your browser settings, though some features may not function properly without them.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
Provide and operate the currency conversion, rate comparison, and rate alert tools.
Send rate alert notifications to the email address you provide, when your target rate is reached.
Understand how visitors use the Site so we can improve it.
Maintain the security and proper functioning of the Site.
We do not sell your personal information to third parties.
3. Third-Party Services
We use third-party services to operate and improve the Site, which may collect information as described in their own privacy policies:
Analytics providers (such as Google Analytics) help us understand Site usage and traffic patterns.
Advertising providers (such as Google AdSense) may be used to display ads on the Site. These providers may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this or other websites. You can learn more about how Google uses data at Google's Partner Sites policy, and manage ad personalization through Google Ads Settings.
Exchange rate data providers supply the live currency rate data displayed on the Site. No personal information is shared with these providers as part of that data feed.
4. Email Communications
If you sign up for a rate alert, we will use your email address solely to send you the notification(s) you requested. We do not use rate alert email addresses for marketing purposes, and we do not share them with third parties for their own marketing use. You can request removal of your email from our rate alert system at any time by contacting us.
5. Data Retention
We retain rate alert information (email address, currency pair, target rate) for as long as needed to fulfill the alert, or until you request its removal. Automatically collected technical/analytics data is retained according to the standard retention periods of the third-party tools we use.
6. Your Choices and Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, correct, or delete the data we hold about you, and the right to opt out of certain data processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us using the details below.
You can also disable cookies through your browser settings at any time, and opt out of personalized advertising through your browser or the Google Ads Settings link above.
7. Children's Privacy
The Site is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.
