Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-11

1. Overview

CrisisBoard is a real-time financial crisis monitoring dashboard. This policy explains what limited information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have. We designed CrisisBoard to be usable without creating an account and without collecting personal information whenever possible.

2. Information We Collect

Usage data. We log standard server request data (IP address, user agent, referrer, timestamp, requested URL) to operate the service, prevent abuse, and apply rate limits. These logs are retained for a short period and used only for operational purposes.

Local storage. The site stores a small number of preferences in your browser (theme, language, notification preferences, dismissed alerts). This data never leaves your device and is not associated with any identifier we hold.

Contact form. If you send us a message via the Contact page, we receive the email address and message you provide. We use it only to respond to your inquiry.

Push notifications. If you enable browser notifications, your browser generates an endpoint we use to deliver alerts. You can disable this at any time in your browser settings.

3. Cookies and Similar Technologies

CrisisBoard uses functional first-party storage (localStorage and, where necessary, a session cookie) that the site needs to work. Our advertising partner also sets cookies, as described below.

Advertising. CrisisBoard shows ads served by Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visits to this site and/or other sites on the Internet.

You can opt out of personalized advertising in Google Ads Settings, and opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalized advertising at www.aboutads.info. To learn more, see how Google uses information from sites that use its services.

Where the law requires it — including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland — we ask for your consent through a Google-certified consent message before cookies are used for personalized ads. If you decline, Google may still show non-personalized ads, which use cookies or local storage only for limited purposes such as frequency capping, aggregate reporting and fraud prevention.

4. Third-Party Data Sources

The dashboard aggregates and interprets market and news data from third-party providers, including Yahoo Finance, GDELT, Polymarket, public central bank releases, and other open financial feeds. We do not receive personal data from these sources; we only consume public market and event data.

5. Analytics

If analytics are enabled, we use privacy-respecting aggregate analytics (page views, country-level geography, device class) to understand usage trends. We do not build profiles of individual visitors and do not sell data to third parties.

6. Data Retention

Server logs are retained for up to 30 days. Contact form messages are retained as long as reasonably necessary to respond to your inquiry. You can request deletion at any time.

7. Your Rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data, and to object to processing or request data portability. To exercise any of these rights, contact us via the Contact page.

8. Security

We use standard security practices (HTTPS, input validation, rate limiting) to protect the service. No system is perfectly secure. You acknowledge that you provide any information to CrisisBoard at your own risk.

9. Children's Privacy

CrisisBoard is not directed at children under 16, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by a new Last updated date at the top of the page. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
