Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how RateRocket FX ("we", "our", "us") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our website at https://rate-rocket-fx.netlify.app (the "Site").

1. Information We Collect

We do not ask you to create an account or provide personal information to use the currency converter. However, the following data may be collected automatically:

Usage data: Information such as your browser type, device type, approximate location (country/city level), pages visited, time spent on the Site, and referring URL. This data is collected by analytics tools and does not identify you personally.
Cookies: Small text files stored on your device that help us and third-party services understand how the Site is used, remember preferences, and serve relevant advertisements.
Advertising data: Third-party advertising networks such as Google AdSense may collect and use data to display personalised or non-personalised advertisements based on your browsing activity.

2. How We Use Information

To operate and improve the Site and currency conversion tools
To understand which pages, content, and features are most useful to visitors
To display advertisements that help fund the free operation of this Site
To diagnose technical issues and improve site performance

3. Google AdSense and Advertising

We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on this Site. Google and its partners may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ad Settings. You can also opt out through the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out page.

4. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics to understand how visitors interact with the Site. Google Analytics uses cookies to collect anonymous traffic data. You can opt out of Google Analytics by installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

5. Third-Party Links

Our Site may contain links to external websites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those sites. Please review their privacy policies separately before using those services.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical measures to protect the Site and information processed through it. However, no method of internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Children's Privacy

This Site is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided information to us, please contact us immediately.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the date below. Continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated Policy.

10. How We Handle Exchange Rate Data

The exchange rate data displayed on RateRocket FX is sourced from third-party open exchange rate APIs. This data is fetched in real time directly by your browser when you use the converter tools — we do not store or log the specific rates you look up, the amounts you enter, or the currency pairs you convert. All converter interactions happen client-side in your browser and are not transmitted to our servers.

11. Cookies We Use

We use the following types of cookies on this Site:

Analytics cookies (Google Analytics): These collect anonymous data about how visitors interact with the Site — pages visited, time spent, device type, approximate location at country/city level, and traffic source. This helps us understand which content is most useful. You can opt out using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
Advertising cookies (Google AdSense): These are set by Google AdSense and its partner networks to display relevant advertisements. Google may use your browsing history across other websites to personalise ads shown on this Site. You can control ad personalisation at Google's Ad Settings page (google.com/settings/ads).
Functional cookies: Small cookies that remember basic preferences and ensure the Site works correctly across pages.

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings. Disabling cookies may affect the functionality of some features on this Site. Most browsers allow you to view, delete, and block cookies from specific websites through their privacy or security settings.

12. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information under applicable data protection laws (such as GDPR in Europe or applicable Indian privacy laws). These may include the right to access information we hold about you, the right to request correction of inaccurate data, and the right to request deletion of your data. Since we collect minimal personal data directly, most of these rights apply primarily to data held by third-party services (Google Analytics, Google AdSense) that we use. To exercise rights regarding those services, please contact Google directly through their privacy controls.

If you have a question or request regarding your privacy in relation to this Site specifically, please contact us at raterocketfx@gmail.com.

13. Data Retention

We do not directly store personal data on our own servers. Analytics data collected through Google Analytics is retained according to Google's data retention policies, which you can review at Google's support pages. Google AdSense data is handled according to Google's privacy policy. We do not have direct control over the retention periods of data held by these third-party services.

14. International Users

RateRocket FX is operated from India and is intended primarily for users in India and the global Indian diaspora community. If you are accessing the Site from outside India — including from the European Union, United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, United States, Australia, or Canada — please be aware that your data may be processed in accordance with Indian law and the policies of our third-party service providers (Google), which operate globally. By using the Site, you consent to this processing.
