Privacy policy

Dernière mise à jour 18 October 2026.

Ce que nous collectons

Digital Asset Database does not require an account and does not ask for personal information to read anything. We collect personal data in exactly two situations, both initiated by you:

• Mises à jour par e-mail — if you submit an email address to be told when new research ships, we store that address and the date you submitted it. It is used for that purpose only. It is never sold, rented or shared, and you can ask us to delete it at any time through the contact page.
• Messages — if you send us a message, we store what you typed, together with any name and email address you supplied, so that we can respond and so that reported corrections can be tracked.

Ce qui reste dans votre navigateur

Your starred assets, your choice of light or dark presentation, and your choice between the guided and expert reading modes are stored in your own browser's local storage. They never reach our servers, they are not visible to us, and clearing your browser data removes them. Your language choice is stored in a cookie so that pages render in the same language on your next visit.

Journaux serveur

Our web server keeps ordinary request logs — the page requested, the time, the response status, the browser's user-agent string and the requesting IP address — for operational and security purposes. The Ask the data feature applies a short-term per-IP rate limit held in memory, which is discarded when the process restarts.

Publicité et cookies

Digital Asset Database may display advertising served by Google, including through Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve advertisements based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve advertisements to users based on their visit to this site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info. Users in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland are shown a consent notice by the advertising provider where required, and personalised advertising is not served without consent.

Where advertising is not enabled on a deployment of this site, no advertising cookies are set at all.

Analytique

Digital Asset Database uses Google Analytics 4 to understand aggregate traffic: which pages are read, roughly where readers arrive from, and whether the site is working. Google sets cookies in your browser to do this, and the data is processed on Google's systems under their terms.

We do not use it to build an advertising profile of you. Advertising storage, ad-user-data and ad-personalisation signals are switched off by default in our configuration, and we never upload or join names, email addresses or other personal identifiers to it.

You can opt out across every site that uses it by installing Google's Analytics opt-out browser add-on. The server logs described above are kept regardless.

Liens externes

Pages here link out to publishers, projects, block explorers and data providers. Those sites have their own privacy practices, which we neither control nor endorse. Following a link takes you outside this policy.

Conservation des données et vos droits

Email addresses are kept until you ask for removal. Messages are kept while they remain relevant to an open correction or enquiry. Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export or delete personal data we hold about you; ask through the contact page and we will act on it.

Enfants

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 16.

Variations

If this policy changes, the date at the top of the page changes with it.
