Privacy
coinsrose is a feed of crypto and blockchain news. You can read all of it without an account, and we don’t run ads or analytics. We don’t sell your data. This page explains the little we do keep.
Reading the site
Anyone can browse, search and filter without signing in. We don’t use advertising trackers or analytics tools. Like any website, our host (Vercel) receives your IP address and browser details when you load a page, and may keep standard server logs.
Signing in
Signing in is optional and has no password. You enter your email address, we email you a 6-digit code, and you type it back. We use your email only to send that code and to recognise your account. We don’t send newsletters or marketing.
You can also choose “Continue with Google”. Google then tells us your email address and profile picture so we can recognise your account and show your picture. The picture is kept only in your sign-in cookie, not in our database. We don’t get your password or access to anything in your Google account.
- The code expires after 10 minutes and works once. We keep only a scrambled version of it, never the code itself.
- After you sign in, a cookie keeps you signed in for 30 days. It’s the only cookie we use, and signing out removes it.
- To stop abuse, sign-in requests are counted by IP address for a few minutes.
What an account stores
- Your email address.
- Your saved stories, so they follow you between devices.
- The sources you chose to hide.
That’s everything. We don’t keep a history of what you read, click or search for.
What stays in your browser
Your theme (light or dark), your grid or list layout, and your saved and hidden lists are kept in your browser’s local storage. This works without an account. When you sign out, your saved and hidden lists are removed from that browser, so the next person on a shared device doesn’t see them. They stay in your account.
If you install coinsrose as an app, your browser also keeps a copy of the pages you open and the app’s files on your device, so coinsrose can show you an offline message and open faster. Nothing from your account is kept in that copy, and removing the app or clearing site data deletes it.
Desktop notifications
Desktop alerts are optional and off until you turn them on with the switch in the bell panel in the header. The bell itself only counts new stories on the page. Your browser asks for permission first. When they’re on, coinsrose shows a notification when new stories arrive while a coinsrose tab is open in the background. This happens in your browser: nothing about it is sent to us, and nothing arrives once every coinsrose tab is closed. Your choice is kept in your browser.
Who else handles data
We use a few services to run the site. They process data only to provide that service.
- Vercel hosts the site.
- Supabase stores the story archive and, for signed-in people, the account data above.
- Upstash keeps short-lived data: temporary sign-in codes, rate-limit counters and cached stories.
- Resend delivers the sign-in emails, so it sees your email address.
- Pollinations receives story headlines and short descriptions to choose topic labels and to draw illustrations when an article has no picture. No personal data is sent.
- Google supplies the small site icons (favicons). Your browser requests them directly, so Google can see your IP address. If you choose “Continue with Google”, Google also handles that sign-in and sees that you signed in to coinsrose.
Story pictures load directly from the publishers’ own servers, which can therefore see your IP address. We ask your browser not to send them the page you came from. Links on the site open the original articles on their publishers’ websites, which have their own privacy policies.
The story archive
coinsrose saves headlines, short descriptions, links and pictures from public feeds so older stories stay searchable. This is public content about the news, not information about you.
How long we keep things
- Sign-in codes: 10 minutes.
- Sign-in session: 30 days, or until you sign out.
- Account data: until you ask us to delete it.
- Rate-limit counters: a few minutes.
Your choices
- Use the site without an account. Nothing about you is stored on our servers.
- Sign out at any time, or clear this site’s data in your browser settings.
- Ask us to delete your account and everything stored with it.
Children
coinsrose isn’t aimed at children under 13, and we don’t knowingly collect their information.
Changes
If this page changes in a meaningful way, we’ll update the date at the top.
