Privacy Policy

Core Principle: Minimal Data Collection

Drughub.co.uk operates on the principle of minimal data collection. We do not collect personal information, track user behavior, or employ analytics tools. Our philosophy is simple: if we don't collect it, it can't be compromised.

Non-Personal Information Only

Cryptocurrency Price Data

We retrieve cryptocurrency prices (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Monero) from the CoinGecko API to display on our crypto ticker. This data is:

• Stored in a local cache file (cache.json) for 30 minutes
• Used exclusively for display purposes
• Not associated with any individual user
• Automatically refreshed after the cache expires

HTTP Request Data

Like all websites, our server receives standard HTTP request headers including:

• IP address (transmitted by your browser)
• Browser type and version
• Referring page (if any)
• Requested page URL

We do not log, store, or analyze this data beyond what is required for the basic operation of the website.

No User Tracking

Drughub.co.uk does NOT collect:

• Personal Identifiable Information (PII): No names, email addresses, phone numbers, or addresses
• User Accounts: No registration, login, or account system
• Analytics Data: No Google Analytics, no tracking pixels, no heatmaps
• Behavioral Tracking: No tracking of user browsing patterns or interactions
• Cookies: No persistent cookies or tracking cookies
• Session Data: No session IDs or user session tracking
• Location Data: No geolocation tracking or IP geolocation
• Device Fingerprinting: No device fingerprinting or browser fingerprinting
• Third-Party Tracking: No integration with third-party trackers or data brokers

Our Stance on Cookies

Drughub.co.uk does not use cookies for tracking purposes. We may use minimal, temporary session cookies only for:

• Essential functionality if required by PHP sessions
• Security features (if implemented in the future)

Any cookies used are:

• Temporary (deleted when browser closes)
• Not used for tracking or profiling
• Not shared with third parties
• Not used for advertising purposes

You can disable cookies in your browser settings without affecting your ability to access our content.

Minimal Retention

Given our minimal data collection approach, our retention policy is straightforward:

• Cryptocurrency Price Data: Cached for 30 minutes, then automatically overwritten
• HTTP Request Headers: Not logged or retained
• No User Data: Since no personal information is collected, there is nothing to retain

External API Usage

CoinGecko API

We use the CoinGecko API to retrieve cryptocurrency prices. CoinGecko may log API requests. However:

• We do not transmit any user information to CoinGecko
• Requests are made from our server, not your browser
• CoinGecko only receives our server IP address
• Refer to CoinGecko's privacy policy for their data practices

Font Awesome

We use Font Awesome for icons. Font Awesome CDN may log requests for font files. However:

• No user information is transmitted to Font Awesome
• Requests are made from your browser to the CDN
• Refer to Font Awesome's privacy policy for their data practices

Your Rights Regarding Your Data

Since Drughub.co.uk does not collect personal information, there is no user data to exercise rights over. However, if you believe your personal information has been collected in error, you have the right to:

• Access: Request confirmation of whether we have any data about you
• Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate data
• Erasure: Request deletion of any personal data
• Portability: Request transfer of your data
• Objection: Object to processing of your data

Security Measures

We employ reasonable security measures to protect any data we do collect:

• HTTPS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our server is encrypted
• Secure Hosting: Our server is hosted with reputable providers
• Regular Updates: Software and dependencies are kept up to date
• Access Control: Server access is restricted to authorized personnel
• No User Data Storage: The best security is not storing data at all

Age Considerations

Drughub.co.uk is not directed at children under 18 years of age. Since we do not collect personal information from any users, we do not knowingly collect information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided information to us, please contact us immediately.

Global Accessibility

Drughub.co.uk is accessible globally. Since we do not collect personal information, we do not transfer personal data across international borders. Any non-personal data (such as cryptocurrency prices) is retrieved from external APIs and cached on our server.

Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of Drughub.co.uk after changes indicates your acceptance of the updated policy.
