Information about our users is an important part of our business and we are not in the business of selling our user’s Personal Data to others. We may transfer Personal Data to our service providers or third parties in connection with CoinMarketCap’s operation of its business, as certain features on CoinMarketCap rely on various third-party products and services (collectively “Third Party Services”), such as processing of web hosting, cloud storage, analytics, and improvement of website-related services and features, and performance of maintenance services.
Third Party Services providers must only process the Personal Data in accordance with our contractual agreements and only as permitted by applicable data protections laws.
We may also share Personal Data with the following persons or in the following circumstances:
Our Services and websites may contain links that enable you to connect with various third-party websites, applications, and other external platforms (referred to as "Third Party Platforms"). These Third Party Platforms act as independent data controllers and their processing of your Personal Data will be subject to their privacy notices and policies. This Privacy Notice does not cover the privacy practices of these Third Party Platforms. A link to a third-party site does not imply endorsement by us or our Affiliates. Your use of these Third Party Platforms and their handling of your Personal Data will be governed by their respective terms and privacy policies, and not by this Privacy Notice.
We maintain servers hosted by our trusted service providers, and your information may be processed on servers located outside of your country of residence. Additionally, we may transfer your Personal Data to our Affiliates, third-party partners, and service providers located in various countries around the world.
In instances where we process your Personal Data on servers outside your country or transfer it to third countries or international organizations beyond your country of residence, we implement appropriate technical, organizational, and contractual safeguards to ensure that your Personal Data remains protected. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of Standard Contractual Clauses. These measures ensure that any such transfers comply with applicable data protection laws and maintain an adequate level of protection for your Personal Data as outlined in this Notice.
We recognize that information security is a crucial component of data privacy. We are committed to making sure your information is protected in accordance with applicable laws and our data privacy policies. Although no data transmission, including over the Internet or through any website, can be guaranteed to be entirely secure, we employ a range of commercially reasonable physical, technical, and procedural measures to protect Personal Data from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, or destruction.
The information you provide to us is stored on secure servers managed by us or our trusted service providers. Access to and use of this information are governed by our internal security policies and standards, or those agreed upon with our service providers, all in alignment with industry best practices.
To further protect your information, it is important that you safeguard your account password. We recommend using a unique password for your account that is not used for other online accounts and ensuring that you sign off when you have finished using our Services. Please also be cautious of suspicious emails or websites— avoid clicking on unfamiliar links requesting your CMC account information, as they may be phishing attempts trying to access your information. For enhanced security, we strongly recommend enabling Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) in your account settings. This adds an extra layer of protection and helps safeguard your account against unauthorized access.
We keep your Personal Data to enable your continued use of our Services, for as long as it is required in order to fulfill the relevant purposes described in this Privacy Notice as may be required by law such as for tax and accounting purposes, or to resolve disputes and/or legal claims or as otherwise communicated to you.
When we have no ongoing legitimate business or legal requirement to retain your Personal Data, we will either delete or anonymise such information, or, if this is not possible (for example, because your Personal Data has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your Personal Data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Subject to applicable laws, as outlined below, you have a number of rights in relation to your privacy and the protection of your Personal Data. These rights may be limited in some situations - for example, where we can demonstrate we have a legal requirement to process your Personal Data.
Some states in the United States provide their residents with additional privacy rights.
You can easily access, review, and update your information associated within your user account at any time by logging into your account settings. If you wish to terminate your account, you can do so directly through the same settings.
