Privacy Policy
Understand the information Currency Information may receive through website use and email, how confirmed advertising and technical services relate to privacy, and which choices are described.
This Privacy Policy explains how Currency Information handles information received through CurrencyInformation.org, email, website analytics and measurement, advertising services, and the technical providers used to operate the site.
Information You Provide
Currency Information may receive information you send by email, including your name, email address, organization, message, attachments, and any other information you choose to provide. The content and sensitivity of an email depend on what the sender chooses to include, so readers should avoid providing information that is not necessary for the inquiry.
The website does not currently offer user accounts, public comments, paid subscriptions, a newsletter, or a public contact form.
Technical and Usage Information
Hosting, security, analytics, advertising, and content-delivery services may process technical and usage information such as IP address, browser or device type, request time, pages requested or viewed, referring page, approximate location derived from technical data, cookie identifiers, content interactions, security events, and server logs.
This information may be used for ordinary website delivery, analytics and measurement, security, advertising, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, and performance monitoring. The exact data processed depends on the relevant service, configuration, consent choices and technical context.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
Currency Information uses cookies and similar technologies for website operation, consent preferences, security, website analytics and measurement, advertising, fraud prevention, and performance. See the Cookie Policy.
Cookies or similar identifiers used for analytics and advertising may operate according to available consent choices, provider settings, browser or device settings and applicable regional requirements.
Advertising
Currency Information uses display and programmatic advertising, including Google AdSense and related Google advertising technologies. Advertising providers may use cookies or identifiers for ad delivery, frequency management, measurement, fraud prevention, and interest-based advertising where permitted. The provider’s own settings and policies may affect what is processed and whether advertising is contextual or personalized.
Currency Information does not control every processing activity performed directly by third-party advertising providers.
Analytics and Measurement
Currency Information uses website analytics and measurement technologies to understand visits, page usage, audience activity, referral information, content performance and technical performance.
Analytics technologies may process information such as page views, browser and device information, IP address, timestamps, approximate location derived from technical data, referring pages or websites, and interactions with website content.
Cookies or similar identifiers may be used for analytics and measurement where applicable and in accordance with available consent choices, provider settings and regional requirements.
How Information May Be Used
- Operate, secure, maintain, and improve the website
- Measure website traffic, page usage, audience activity, referral information and technical performance
- Respond to messages, corrections, and editorial inquiries
- Review advertising or partnership proposals
- Detect abuse, fraud, malware, invalid traffic, and technical problems
- Deliver and measure advertising
- Maintain editorial, analytics, security and business records for the purposes described in this policy.
Third-Party Services
Third-party services may include website analytics and measurement providers, Google AdSense and related advertising technologies, website hosting, domain and DNS services, content-delivery or security services, consent-management services, and email services.
Analytics and measurement providers may process technical and usage information to help Currency Information measure website traffic, page usage, audience activity and performance.
Third-party services process data under their own privacy, cookie and technical policies and settings.
Information Sharing
Information may be processed or shared with service providers when necessary to operate the website, provide analytics and measurement, deliver advertising, maintain security, process email, comply with valid obligations, or protect the publication and its users.
Analytics providers may receive technical and usage information needed to measure website activity and performance. Advertising providers may receive or process technical identifiers and interaction information for ad delivery, measurement, fraud prevention and, where permitted, personalized advertising.
Whether particular advertising-related disclosures are treated as a sale or sharing of personal information depends on applicable privacy law and the specific advertising configuration.
Retention
Information may be retained for as long as reasonably needed for the purpose collected or processed, including editorial review, corrections, analytics and measurement, advertising, security, recordkeeping, dispute handling, and technical operation.
Retention periods vary according to the purpose of processing, applicable legal, security and recordkeeping requirements, and the retention practices of relevant third-party services.
Your Choices
You may manage cookies through browser settings and available consent controls. Available browser, device, advertising or provider controls may also allow you to manage certain analytics or advertising technologies.
You may also contact Currency Information about information submitted by email, subject to legitimate editorial, security, legal, or recordkeeping needs.
Security
Reasonable measures may be used to protect information, but no website, email service, analytics system, advertising service, or storage system can guarantee absolute security.
Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated when website functionality, analytics or measurement technologies, advertising services, consent systems, technical services, or publishing practices materially change. The current version will be posted on this page.

Email and Editorial Correspondence
Messages sent to Currency Information may be reviewed by the people responsible for support, editorial work, corrections, advertising, partnerships, security, or recordkeeping. Correspondence may be retained when needed to evaluate a correction, verify a source, document consent, prevent abuse, or maintain business records.
Do not send unnecessary account numbers, identity documents, medical records, passwords, or other sensitive information.
Advertising Data
Google and other participating advertising services may receive technical identifiers and interaction information directly from a visitor’s browser or device. Depending on location and consent, this may support contextual or personalized advertising, frequency management, fraud prevention, reporting, and attribution.
International Visitors
Currency Information serves United States and international readers. Third-party analytics, advertising and technical providers may process information in countries different from the visitor’s location. Their own policies explain their processing and transfer practices.
Children’s Information
The website is a general-interest publication and is not designed as a service for collecting personal information from children. Readers should avoid sending sensitive personal information about minors unless it is necessary and appropriate for a legitimate editorial concern.
External Links and Embedded Material
External websites and embedded services may collect information independently. Currency Information is not responsible for the privacy practices of a third-party page reached through a link.
Data Requests and Verification
A person asking about information submitted by email should provide enough detail to identify the correspondence. Currency Information may need to verify identity and may retain information where necessary for editorial integrity, security, dispute handling, or other legitimate purposes.
