AI Trading Ranked ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website located at https://ai-trading-ranked.com (the "Site"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and protect your personal information when you visit our Site.
Optional Google Analytics is controlled by the site's Accept/Reject choice. Reading this policy or browsing an article is not treated by that loader as acceptance. See the Cookie Policy for the implemented controls and their limits.
Information We Collect
Information You Provide Directly
- Email Address: When you subscribe to our newsletter or download a lead magnet (such as our Crypto Trading Bot Comparison Cheat Sheet), we collect your email address through our email marketing platform.
- Contact Information: If you contact us via email, we collect the information you include in your message.
Information Collected Automatically
- Analytics Data: We use Google Analytics to collect information about how you interact with our Site, including pages visited, time spent on pages, referring URLs, browser type, device type, operating system, and approximate geographic location (based on IP address).
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to collect data about your browsing activity. See our Cookie Policy for full details.
- Affiliate Tracking Data: When you click on affiliate links on our Site, our affiliate partners may place cookies on your device to track referrals and attribute commissions. This data is processed by the respective affiliate networks.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- Newsletter and Communications: To send you our email newsletter with crypto trading platform reviews, guides, comparisons, and occasional promotional content.
- Site Improvement: To analyze how visitors use our Site through Google Analytics so we can improve content, user experience, and site performance.
- Affiliate Tracking: To track referrals through our affiliate partnerships so we can earn commissions when you sign up for platforms or purchase products through our links, at no additional cost to you.
- Content Personalization: To understand which content is most relevant to our audience and create better resources.
- Legal Compliance: To comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.
Third-Party Services
We share information with or collect information through the following third-party services:
Email Marketing
- Email Service Provider -- We use an email marketing platform to manage our newsletter and lead magnet delivery. When you subscribe, your email address is stored and processed by our email service provider in accordance with their privacy policy.
Analytics
- Google Analytics -- We use Google Analytics to understand Site traffic and user behavior. Google Analytics collects data through cookies and processes it in accordance with Google's privacy practices. Google Privacy Policy
Affiliate Networks and Programs
Marked referral links can lead to third-party services that process referral identifiers and set their own cookies. The destinations and commercial disclosures are shown with those links. A directory of platform names is not evidence of an active partnership or a common retention period. Refer to the destination service’s current privacy notice before using it; this site’s analytics choice does not control a separate site.
Cookies and local storage
The source uses the browser local-storage key cookie-consent to remember Accept or Reject; it is not a consent cookie and has no application-defined expiry. Optional Google Analytics is loaded only after Accept in the repaired loader. Reject disables that loader; changing a previous choice does not itself erase cookies or data already held by Google. If browser storage is unavailable, a choice may not persist after reloading.
Use Cookie settings to change the choice. See the Cookie Policy for the implemented behavior. The previous generic cookie inventory, theme-cookie claim and blanket 30-day affiliate periods were not verified against implementation and have been removed. Third-party retention depends on actual account settings and provider policies.
Your Rights Under the GDPR

- Right of Access: You have the right to request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.

- Right to Restrict Processing: You have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.

Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR): We process your personal data on the following legal bases:

Your Rights Under the CCPA
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) provides you with the following rights:
- Right to Know: You have the right to request that we disclose the categories and specific pieces of personal information we have collected about you, the categories of sources from which that information was collected, the business purpose for collecting the information, and the categories of third parties with whom we share it.
- Right to Delete: You have the right to request that we delete the personal information we have collected from you, subject to certain exceptions.
- Right to Opt-Out of Sale: You have the right to opt out of the "sale" of your personal information. We do not sell your personal information in the traditional sense.

To opt out, you can disable cookies in your browser settings or use our cookie consent mechanism.

Data Retention
We retain your personal information only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected:
- Email Subscriber Data: Retained for as long as you remain subscribed to our newsletter. You may unsubscribe at any time by clicking the "unsubscribe" link in any email or by contacting us at contact@ghost-empire.com.
- Analytics Data: A fixed analytics retention period has not been verified against the current account configuration; contact us for confirmation before relying on a retention period.
- Cookie Data: Retained for the duration specified in our Cookie Policy. The consent preference is local storage with no application-defined expiry; external-service retention and cookie settings are separate.
- Affiliate Tracking Data: Retained by our affiliate partners in accordance with their own privacy policies; no common retention period has been verified.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our Site is not directed to children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. Crypto trading platforms typically require users to be at least 18 years old. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete that information promptly. If you believe a child under 18 has provided us with personal information, please contact us at contact@ghost-empire.com.
International Data Transfers
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your own, including the United States and countries within the European Economic Area. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from the laws of your country. Browsing this page is not a blanket consent to international transfers. The applicable service arrangements and safeguards must be confirmed for the actual processing; this source review does not verify those account-level arrangements.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or other factors. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we are protecting your information.
