Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Virtual Coin Directory (ViCoDi), operating at vicodi.org, collects, uses, and protects your information when you visit our website. We do not collect personal information through registration, forms, or databases. Our goal is to provide transparent, lawful, and responsible data practices in compliance with U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

When you visit vicodi.org, we automatically collect certain non-personally identifiable information through standard web technologies. This includes:

• IP address (used only for geographic approximation and security)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on site
• Referring URLs
• Standard server log data

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be used to identify you personally without additional information, which we do not obtain or store.

How We Use Information

The information we collect is used solely for the following purposes:

• To analyze website traffic and improve user experience
• To understand which content is most valuable to our visitors
• To maintain website security and functionality
• To comply with legal obligations

We do not use your data for targeted advertising based on personal profiles, nor do we sell your information to third parties.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience. Cookies are small text files stored on your device that help us remember your preferences and analyze site usage. We use both session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which remain until deleted).

These cookies do not store personal data such as names, emails, or financial details. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, though doing so may affect site functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to support our website operations. These include:

• Google Analytics: To measure traffic patterns and user behavior. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous data. Google’s privacy practices are governed by its own Privacy Policy.
• Advertising networks: We may display ads through networks such as Google AdSense. These services may use cookies and web beacons to serve relevant advertisements. They collect anonymous data about your browsing behavior across sites, but we do not share personally identifiable information with them.

We do not control the data practices of these third parties. We recommend reviewing their respective privacy policies for more information.

Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we strive to use industry-standard practices to safeguard your information.
