Privacy Policy

Who we are

yfarmx.com is published by YFARMX LTD (trading as YFarmX), a company registered in England and Wales, company number 15605223, registered office 86–90 Paul Street, London, England, EC2A 4NE. For anything in this policy, contact us via the contact page.

What we collect

Very little. YFarmX is a static news site: there are no user accounts, no comment system and no advertising trackers, and we do not build analytics profiles of readers. The only personal detail you can actively give us is an email address, either through the contact form or the Frontier Brief waitlist, and both are covered below.

We do not set tracking cookies. The site stores a small amount of data in your own browser (localStorage), which never reaches our servers:

• Your light/dark theme preference.
• Arcade high scores, quiz badges and best times.
• Your chosen audio playback speed.
• Gas Console history (sparklines and the heat map are built locally from your own visits).

You can clear all of it at any time by clearing your browser's site data for yfarmx.com.

Traffic measurement (no cookies)

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to understand how many people visit and which pages they read. It is deliberately privacy-first: it sets no cookies, stores nothing on your device, does not fingerprint your browser, and does not track you across other sites. We see aggregate numbers (page views, referrers, countries, device types), never a profile of you. Because nothing is stored on your device and no personal profile is built, no consent banner is required. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

The contact form

If you write to us via the contact page, the name, email address and message you type are delivered to our inbox by Web3Forms, which acts as a delivery service and states that it does not store form submissions after delivery. We use what you send solely to deal with your message and reply to you, and we keep the email only as long as we need it to handle your enquiry.

The Frontier Brief waitlist

If you add your email address to the Frontier Brief waitlist, we store that address for one purpose: to tell you when the newsletter launches and to send it to you once it does. Sign-ups reach our inbox through Web3Forms, the same delivery service as the contact form. We ask for nothing beyond the email address, we never sell or pass it to advertisers, and your lawful basis is your consent, given when you submit the form.

You can withdraw that consent and ask us to remove your address at any time via thecontact page. We keep waitlist addresses until the newsletter launches and you either unsubscribe or ask to be removed; if the newsletter is shelved, we delete the list.

Hosting

The site is served by Cloudflare's global network. Like any web host, Cloudflare processes connection data (such as your IP address) transiently to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse. See Cloudflare's privacy policy.

Live data tools

Some tools fetch live figures directly from your browser to public data providers, for example CoinGecko, Coinbase and Binance (prices), public blockchain RPC endpoints (gas fees) and Koios (Cardano parameters). When a tool does this, those providers see a normal web request from your device, as if you had visited them yourself. We send them nothing about you, and the requests contain no identifiers from us.

External links

Articles, the events calendars and the knowledge hubs link out to other websites (organisers, protocols, research firms, sources). Their privacy practices are their own; this policy stops at our door.

Your rights

Under UK data protection law (UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018) you have rights of access, rectification, erasure and objection over personal data an organisation holds about you. Since we hold essentially none, there is usually nothing to request, but if you believe we do hold something of yours, contact us and we will deal with it promptly. You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner's Office (ico.org.uk).

Changes

If the site gains features that change what data exists, this policy is updated first and the "last updated" date above is changed. The Frontier Brief is one such step: today we hold only waitlist email addresses, and when the newsletter itself launches this policy will describe the mailing before the first issue goes out.
