Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2025

This privacy policy explains what personal information Polygon Price Prediction collects when you visit polygonpriceprediction.com (the site), why we collect it, what we do with it, and what rights you have over it. We’ve tried to write it in plain English rather than the kind of legalese that nobody reads. If anything in here isn’t clear, email us at mail@polygonpriceprediction.com
and we’ll do our best to explain.

By using the site you’re confirming that you’ve read and understood this policy. If you don’t agree with how we handle data, the simplest fix is to not use the site.

1. Who we are and who’s responsible for your data

Polygon Price Prediction is an independent online publication covering Polygon (MATIC/POL) and the wider cryptocurrency market. The company behind the site is based in the United Arab Emirates.

For the purposes of the UAE’s Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 on the Protection of Personal Data (the “UAE PDPL”) — and, where it applies to visitors from those regions, the UK and EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) — we’re the “data controller” for the personal information described in this policy. That means we’re the ones who decide what data is collected and what it’s used for.

You can reach us at mail@polygonpriceprediction.com
for anything related to your privacy or the data we hold about you.

2. The short version

If you don’t want to read the whole document:

We don’t sell your personal data. Full stop.
We collect the minimum we need to run the site, send our newsletter (if you’ve signed up), and understand how people use our content.
We use cookies and similar technologies for analytics and advertising. You can refuse non-essential cookies and the site will still work.
Some data goes to third-party services we rely on — analytics providers, our email platform, our ad network, our hosting provider — and they have their own privacy policies.
You have rights under UAE law (and, where applicable, UK/EU GDPR), including the right to see, correct, and delete the data we hold about you.

The rest of this document is the detail behind that summary.

3. What information we collect

The kinds of data we may collect about you fall into a few buckets.

Information you give us directly

This is the stuff you actively hand over. For example:

Newsletter signups: your email address, and optionally your first name, if you subscribe to our newsletter.
Comments: if we have commenting enabled, the name, email address, and any other details you provide when leaving a comment.
Contact emails: your name, email address, and whatever you put in your message when you write to us.
Tips, pitches, or guest posts: contact details and content you send in if you submit something for editorial consideration.

Information we collect automatically

This is the stuff that gets gathered in the background just because you’ve visited a website:

IP address (often partly anonymised by our analytics tools)
Approximate location based on IP (usually country or city level)
Browser type and version
Operating system and device type
Pages you visited, time spent on each page, where you came from (referrer)
Date and time of your visit
Interactions with the site, like clicks on links or affiliate buttons

Information from third parties

Occasionally we may receive information about you from third parties — for example, social media platforms if you share our content, or our ad network if it serves you targeted ads through us. We’ll only use that data if we have a lawful basis to.

4. Why we use your data, and the legal basis for using it

Under the UAE PDPL (and GDPR, where it applies to you), we have to have a “lawful basis” for everything we do with your personal data. Here’s the breakdown.

What we do	Why	Lawful basis
Send the newsletter	To deliver the emails you’ve asked for	Consent
Reply to your emails	To answer your questions or handle your request	Consent / legitimate interest
Analytics on site usage	To understand what content works, fix problems, and improve the site	Consent (where required) / legitimate interest
Show ads and measure their performance	To fund the site through advertising	Consent
Display and moderate comments	To run discussion on articles	Consent / legitimate interest
Security, abuse prevention, server logs	To stop attacks, spam, and misuse	Legitimate interest
Meet legal obligations	For tax, accounting, regulatory record-keeping, or responding to lawful requests from UAE or other authorities	Legal obligation

If we ever want to use your data for something materially different from what’s listed here, we’ll tell you about it first and, where the law requires it, ask for your consent.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

Like most websites, we use cookies — small text files that get stored on your device — and similar technologies (pixels, local storage, tags). They fall into roughly four categories.

Strictly necessary cookies: these make the site actually work — things like remembering your cookie preferences. They don’t need your consent because the site can’t function without them.
Analytics cookies: these tell us how visitors use the site so we can improve it. We typically use Google Analytics or a similar tool.
Advertising cookies: if we run ads, our advertising partners may set cookies to show you ads that are more relevant to you, to limit how often you see the same ad, and to measure ad performance.
Functional cookies: these remember preferences like language or dark mode.

The first time you visit, you’ll see a cookie banner asking you to accept or reject non-essential cookies. You can change your mind at any time using the cookie settings link in the footer of the site, or by clearing cookies in your browser. Rejecting non-essential cookies doesn’t break the site — you might just see less relevant ads, and we’ll have less data on how to improve things.

For full details on which specific cookies we use, their providers, and their lifespans, please see our Cookie Policy (or check your cookie consent banner, which lists them).

6. Third-party services we use

We don’t build everything in-house. To run the site we rely on a number of third-party tools and services, and some of them will process your data on our behalf. The main ones are usually:

Hosting: our web host stores the site’s files and logs server requests, which include IP addresses.
Analytics: we use a web analytics service (typically Google Analytics, or a privacy-focused alternative) to understand how the site is used.
Email/newsletter platform: we use a service like Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite, or similar to send our newsletter and manage subscribers.
Advertising network: if we run programmatic ads, networks like Google AdSense, Ezoic, or Mediavine may serve them and use cookies as described above.
Comment system: WordPress or a service like Disqus may handle comments and store the data attached to them.
Embedded content: when we embed tweets, YouTube videos, TradingView charts, or similar, those platforms may set their own cookies and collect data from visitors who interact with the embed.
Affiliate tracking: when you click an affiliate link, the destination service may set cookies so we get credited for the referral.

Each of these providers has its own privacy policy and processes data according to its own rules. We pick providers that are reputable, but we’re not responsible for what they do beyond what’s reasonable for us to control.

If you want a full list of the specific services we’re using at the moment, email us and we’ll give you the current rundown.

7. International data transfers

Most of the third parties we use — especially analytics, email, and ad providers — are based outside the UAE. That means your data may be transferred to and processed in countries like the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, or elsewhere.

Under the UAE PDPL, personal data can be transferred outside the UAE either to countries with an adequate level of protection (as may be determined by the UAE Data Office), or under appropriate safeguards such as contractual commitments and binding corporate rules. Where the destination doesn’t have a formal adequacy decision, we rely on standard contractual safeguards offered by the provider, on the visitor’s explicit consent, or on other lawful grounds available under UAE law.

For data covered by UK or EU GDPR, we rely on legally recognised transfer mechanisms — typically the EU Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, or equivalent safeguards offered by the destination provider.

8. How long we keep your data

We don’t keep data forever. Roughly speaking:

Newsletter subscribers: until you unsubscribe, or until we close down the list. We may also remove subscribers who haven’t opened any of our emails for a long time.
Comments: for as long as the article they’re attached to is published, unless you ask us to delete yours.
Contact emails: for as long as needed to deal with your enquiry, plus a reasonable period afterwards in case it comes back up.
Analytics data: usually retained for 14 months in our analytics tool, often less. Aggregated, non-identifying data may be kept indefinitely.
Server logs: typically a few weeks, longer if needed for security or troubleshooting.

Where UAE law (for example, tax, accounting, or commercial records legislation) requires us to keep certain information for longer, we’ll do that. When we no longer need your data, we delete or anonymise it.

9. Your rights

You have a set of rights over the personal data we hold about you. Under the UAE PDPL — and, where it applies to you, UK or EU GDPR — you have the right to:

Access the personal data we hold about you and get a copy of it.
Correct data that’s inaccurate or incomplete.
Delete your data, within the limits of what the law allows (sometimes we have to keep things for legal or accounting reasons).
Restrict or object to certain types of processing, particularly direct marketing or processing based on legitimate interest.
Data portability — receive your data in a structured, commonly used format so you can move it elsewhere.
Withdraw consent at any time where we’re relying on consent (for example, unsubscribing from the newsletter).
Complain to a data protection authority. In the UAE, that’s the UAE Data Office. If you’re based in the DIFC or ADGM free zones, separate regimes apply (the DIFC Commissioner of Data Protection or the ADGM Office of Data Protection respectively). If you’re in the UK or the EU, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) or your local supervisory authority.

To exercise any of these rights, email us at mail@polygonpriceprediction.com. We’ll respond within the timeframes required by the applicable law (typically 30 days under the UAE PDPL, and a similar window under GDPR). We may need to verify your identity first to make sure we don’t hand your data to the wrong person.

10. Children

The site isn’t aimed at children, and we don’t knowingly collect data from anyone under 18 (or under 16 if you’re a visitor from a jurisdiction with a lower threshold for children’s data, such as parts of the EU). If you’re a parent or guardian and you believe your child has given us personal data, please contact us and we’ll delete it.

11. Security

We take reasonable technical and organisational steps to protect your data — secure hosting, HTTPS encryption, restricted access to admin tools, regular software updates, and so on. That said, no website on earth is 100% secure, and we can’t guarantee that data transmitted over the internet will never be intercepted. You share information with us at your own risk, with the comfort that we’re doing our best on our end.

If we ever suffer a personal data breach that’s likely to put your rights and interests at risk, we’ll notify the UAE Data Office (or other competent authority, depending on where you’re located) and you, where required, within the timeframes set by law.

12. Marketing and unsubscribing

If you’ve signed up for our newsletter, we’ll email you the content you’ve subscribed to — typically a mix of new articles, market updates, and occasional sponsored mentions, all clearly labelled. We won’t sell your email address to anyone, and we won’t use it to send you junk from third parties.

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link in the footer. One click and you’re out — no questions, no retention emails, no “are you sure?” loops. You can also email us and we’ll remove you manually.

13. Do Not Track and global privacy signals

Some browsers send a “Do Not Track” signal or a Global Privacy Control signal to websites. The legal status of these signals is still being worked out, and we currently respond to them where our cookie consent platform supports it. The most reliable way to control what we collect is to use the cookie banner and the cookie settings link in the footer.

14. Linked websites

Our articles regularly link to other websites — projects, exchanges, news sites, data providers, social media. This privacy policy only covers polygonpriceprediction.com. Once you click through to another site, you’re in their territory, and we have no control over what they do with your data. We’d encourage you to read the privacy policy of any third-party site before handing over personal information.

15. Governing law

This privacy policy is governed by the laws of the United Arab Emirates, including the UAE PDPL and its implementing regulations. Where you are based in another jurisdiction with mandatory data protection rights (such as the UK or the EU), nothing in this policy is intended to limit those rights.

16. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time — to reflect changes in the law, new tools we start using, or just clearer wording. When we do, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top. If a change is significant, we’ll try to flag it more prominently, for example with a notice on the homepage or in the newsletter.

If you keep using the site after a change is posted, that means you accept the new version.

17. Contact

For any questions about this policy, requests to exercise your rights, or anything else privacy-related, email us at mail@polygonpriceprediction.com
and we’ll get back to you as soon as we reasonably can.

Thanks for reading, and thanks for caring enough to check.
