Privacy Policy

Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Blockchain & Crypto Resource Center - Southeast Asia (BCRC-SEA) collects, uses, and protects information when you visit our website at bcrc-sea.org. We do not collect personal information through registration or databases. Our practices are designed to be transparent and compliant with U.S. privacy laws, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA).

• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Pages visited and time spent on site

We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any other information that directly identifies you unless you voluntarily provide it through contact forms — and even then, it is not stored in a database.

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

• To understand how visitors interact with our content and improve user experience

We do not sell your personal information. We do not use your data for any purpose beyond those listed above.

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.

Types of cookies we use:

• Essential cookies: Enable core website functionality (e.g., session management)
• Analytics cookies: Used by third-party services like Google Analytics to track anonymous usage patterns
• Advertising cookies: Used by advertising networks to display relevant ads based on browsing behavior

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect some site features.

We use third-party services to support our website operations. These services may collect data independently under their own privacy policies:

• Google Analytics: Collects anonymous traffic data to help us understand user behavior. Google’s privacy policy is available here.
• Advertising networks (e.g., Google AdSense): May place cookies to serve personalized ads. These networks collect data about your browsing activity across sites to deliver targeted advertisements.

We do not control these third parties’ practices. We encourage you to review their privacy policies.

Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. We implement industry-standard safeguards, including secure servers and encrypted connections (HTTPS), but we cannot guarantee absolute security.
