We built BankCert to help people make safer choices online, and privacy is part of that promise. This page explains what we collect, what we don’t, and why.
What We Collect
When you browse this site, standard server logs may include things like your IP address, browser type, and requested pages. If you contact us, we may store the details you send so we can reply.
What We Don’t Do
- We don’t sell your personal data.
- We don’t ask for banking credentials, PINs, or full card details.
- We don’t need sensitive financial documents to provide educational content.
Cookies
We may use basic cookies for site functionality and performance. They help the site work properly and help us understand which articles are useful, so we can improve them.
Third-Party Services
Some tools (for hosting, uptime, or analytics) may process technical data on our behalf. We only use services that are relevant to operating the website.
Your Choices
You can disable cookies in your browser, request deletion of direct messages you’ve sent us, and stop using the site at any time.
Contact
If you have a privacy question, contact us via the details on the site. We’ll answer in plain language and as quickly as we can.
How Long We Keep Data
We keep operational data only as long as it’s needed for security, support, and legal obligations. If there’s no good reason to keep it, we remove it. We don’t believe in storing data “just in case.”
Security Practices
We use standard security practices to protect site infrastructure and communications. No system is perfect, and we won’t pretend otherwise, but we apply practical controls designed to reduce risk and limit exposure.
Children’s Privacy
BankCert is intended for a general audience and not directed at children. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
International Visitors
If you access this site from outside the country where our services operate, your data may be processed in other jurisdictions. We handle that data under the same core privacy principles described here.
Updates to This Policy
When this policy changes, we’ll update the date and language here. If the change is significant, we’ll make reasonable efforts to highlight it clearly rather than burying it in fine print.
Short version: we treat your data with restraint, not appetite.
