Privacy Policy

Who we are

CryptoRefCodes is an independent affiliate site operated by Artūras Pileckis (LinkedIn). For privacy inquiries, email hello@cryptorefcodes.com.

Data we collect

No accounts, no payments, no forms. CryptoRefCodes does not have user accounts, does not process payments, and does not host contact forms in the MVP. Contact happens via email, which has its own data handling above.

What /go/binance/ does

Every affiliate link on the site routes through our server endpoint at /go/binance/. Before redirecting you to Binance, we may log the request timestamp, IP address, user-agent, referrer, the placement (which CTA you clicked), the intent (new signup or pre-KYC), and the outbound destination.

This logged data is used for: security (abuse detection on the redirect endpoint) and affiliate attribution debugging. We then redirect you (HTTP 302) to the Binance signup URL with whitelisted UTM parameters appended.

Binance may set their own cookies on their domain after you arrive there — that's governed by Binance's privacy policy, not ours.

What we don't receive from Binance

We do not receive: your password, KYC documents, wallet balances, trading history, or full account data. Depending on the Binance affiliate dashboard, we may receive limited referral/conversion metadata such as: signup status (verified/not), commission amount, country/region category, referral ID, and trading-volume tier (aggregated).

Consent Mode v2 implementation

We use Google Consent Mode v2 in basic mode, not advanced. This means:

• GA4 and YouTube embeds do not load until you accept the consent banner
• Default state for all consent categories is denied
• Granular consent: we only request analytics consent (no advertising cookies)
• YouTube embeds use the privacy-enhanced youtube-nocookie.com domain after click-to-load
• Your consent state is stored in browser localStorage
• You can reopen the consent banner anytime via the "Privacy choices" link in the footer

Your rights

Under GDPR, UK GDPR, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA/CPRA), and the Australian Privacy Principles (where applicable), you may have rights to access, correct, or delete the data we hold about you. Note that Binance is a separate data controller; requests about your Binance data must go to Binance directly.

To exercise your rights, email hello@cryptorefcodes.com with the subject "Privacy request." You can also:

• Decline the consent banner (or clear localStorage in your browser) to opt out of analytics anytime
• Use a browser that respects the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal — we honor GPC where implemented
• Lodge a complaint with your data protection authority (e.g., your country's data protection regulator)

CCPA-specific: We do not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Geo source

We use Caddy's MaxMind GeoIP2 module on our server to determine visitor country (for the geographic warning banner shown to US/UK/India/Netherlands visitors). Your IP address is used solely for country lookup; the result is passed to the page render but not stored beyond the access-log retention above.

We do not use Cloudflare, so no CF-IPCountry data is involved.

Children's privacy

CryptoRefCodes is not intended for users under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has accessed the site and shared personal data, contact us and we will delete it.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the site evolves. When we do, we update the "Last updated" date at the top and log the change. Substantive changes will be noted in a brief changelog here:
