Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how MSB Labs collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website, msblabs.org. We are committed to transparency and do not collect personal information through registration or databases. This policy applies solely to information gathered automatically through standard web technologies.

Information We Collect

When you visit msblabs.org, we automatically collect certain non-personal 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 website or search engine
• Standard server log data

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other personally identifiable information unless you voluntarily provide it through a contact form (which is not used for storage or marketing).

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 readers
• To ensure the security and stability of our website
• To comply with legal obligations and detect fraudulent activity

We do not use this data to identify individuals, create profiles, or send targeted marketing messages.

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 information. You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may limit some website functionality.

Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to help us understand website traffic and deliver relevant content. These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics: Used to track anonymous traffic patterns and user behavior. Google’s privacy policy applies.
• Advertising networks: We may use ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense) to display non-personalized ads based on general content categories, not individual behavior.
• Cloudflare: Provides security and performance services; collects server logs for threat detection.

We do not share your data with advertisers for targeting purposes. Third parties may collect data directly from your browser, and we encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the integrity and confidentiality of the data we collect. This includes secure servers, SSL encryption, and regular system updates. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security, but we take reasonable steps to safeguard your information.

Your Rights

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), California residents have the right to:

• Know what personal information is collected about them
• Request deletion of their personal information
• Opt out of the sale of their personal information
• Not be discriminated against for exercising these rights

Since we do not sell personal data and collect only non-identifiable information, these rights are largely applicable to data collected by third parties. You may contact us to request a copy of the data collected via our analytics services or to request deletion of your IP address from our logs (if stored).

Children's Privacy

MSB Labs does not knowingly collect or solicit personal information from children under the age of 13. Our content is intended for adult audiences interested in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. If we become aware that a child under 13 has provided information, we will take steps to delete it promptly.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Any updates will be posted on this page with a revised Last Updated date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the website after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
