Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to BTR.ro Rate Reference ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency in how we handle your information. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard data when you visit our website, btr.ro.

2. Information We Collect

We do not require user accounts or personal registrations to use our currency conversion tools. However, we may collect certain information automatically:

• Usage Data: Information about how you use our site, such as pages visited and time spent.
• Device Info: IP address, browser type, and operating system for optimized delivery.
• Cookies: We use cookies to remember your currency preferences and for analytics.
• Contact Form Data: If you send a message, we process the name, email address, message, and optional page context you provide so we can reply and investigate the issue.

3. Data we do not collect

BTR does not ask for bank credentials, card numbers, wallet seed phrases, private keys, exchange account passwords, or identity documents. The website does not create visitor accounts, hold balances, execute transfers, process trades, or request payment credentials for conversion tools.

If a reader needs to report a provider quote, bank screen, card statement, wallet transaction, or transfer receipt, they should summarize the visible rate, fee, timestamp, and provider name instead of sending private documents or account screenshots.

4. Contact-form handling

Contact messages are used to reply, reproduce the report, and decide whether a public correction is needed. A message may include the submitted name, email address, page URL, optional context fields, and the report text.

Correction reports may lead to public page updates, but we do not publish the sender's name, email address, private provider details, or sensitive financial information as part of a correction note.

5. Third-Party Services

We use third-party services to enhance our platform and provide monetization:

• Google advertising: BTR keeps the advertising runtime off during review. It can load only after review mode is disabled, advertising is explicitly enabled, and a Google-certified consent platform is active. When enabled, Google and its partners may process technical request data and use permitted identifiers to deliver, measure, and protect advertisements.
• Google Analytics: BTR loads Google Analytics on normal site pages to understand traffic patterns and improve its tools; embeds are excluded. The script can contact Google and process technical request data, while analytics storage starts denied until a visitor makes a privacy choice.
• API Providers: Financial data is sourced from market data providers; no personal data is shared with them.

Learn more about how Google uses data from partner sites at Google's partner-sites disclosure page.

6. Advertising, Cookies, and Choices

Ad technology may use cookies or similar identifiers to deliver, measure, and protect ads. Depending on your location and Google settings, ads may be personalized or non-personalized. You can manage Google ad personalization through your Google account and browser settings.

BTR starts Google ad and analytics storage in a denied state. The first-party privacy choices control can enable only analytics storage on this browser; advertising storage remains denied and is not controlled by that banner. If you change your analytics choice later, use the privacy choices button to reopen the controls.

Visible advertising remains disabled during review. Before ads can be served to visitors in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, BTR must activate a Google-certified TCF consent management platform; the current first-party control is not treated as that advertising-consent mechanism.

BTR.ro Rate Reference does not ask visitors to create accounts and does not intentionally send personally identifiable information to Google ad systems. Do not include sensitive personal or financial details in contact form messages.

7. Google analytics and advertising services

BTR loads Google Analytics on normal site pages, with analytics storage denied until a visitor makes a privacy choice. It does not load Google services or the first-party privacy banner inside embedded converters. The advertising runtime remains absent unless all post-review serving gates are enabled, including a certified consent platform. Essential site functionality remains available if analytics storage is rejected.

Advertising setup, Analytics measurement, or future referral links do not change correction priority, methodology wording, guide conclusions, or whether a reader-reported privacy issue is fixed.

8. Privacy requests

For a consent issue, include the public page URL, browser, accepted or rejected choice, banner state, and expected result. For a contact-message access, correction, or deletion request, include the message date, email address used, topic, and requested action.

BTR can review its public pages, first-party consent behavior, and contact records. It cannot access or change records held by Google, banks, card issuers, wallets, exchanges, transfer providers, or other third parties. Do not attach private financial screens when a redacted description is enough.

9. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect the integrity of our site and any data collected. However, please be aware that no transmission over the internet is 100% secure.

10. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR for EU residents), you may have rights regarding your data, including the right to access, correct, or delete information. Since we do not store personal profiles, these rights typically apply to cookie-based identifiers.
