Privacy Policy
Last updated: September 3, 2025
We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting it. This Privacy Policy explains how artifaucet.com (“Artifaucet”, “we”, “us”, “our”) collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you use our website and services (“Site” or “Services”).
By using this Site, you consent to this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use.
Scope & Controller
This Policy applies to information processed by Artifaucet as a controller in connection with the Site. Some third-party services we integrate act as independent controllers with their own policies.
Information We Collect
- Account & Contact Data: email address, username, password (hashed), wallet address/network for payouts, support communications.
- Basic Technical Data: IP address, approximate location (derived from IP), browser/OS type and version, device identifiers, language, time zone, screen resolution, referrer/UTM, pages viewed, session timestamps, and diagnostic logs.
- Cookies & Similar Technologies: cookies, local storage, pixel tags, and SDKs used to improve user experience, measure performance, deliver and cap ads, and prevent abuse.
- Anti-Fraud Signals: rate-limit/captcha status, traffic patterns, interaction events, proxy/VPN indicators (where available), and device/network attributes used to detect and prevent fraud and abuse.
- Third-Party Sources: limited data provided by ad/offer networks and analytics partners (e.g., campaign identifiers, conversion events, VAST/Popunder ad interactions) as permitted by their policies.
How We Use Information
- Operate & Improve the Site: provide core functionality, maintain security, fix bugs, and analyze performance.
- Ads & Offers: display relevant ads and offers, measure their effectiveness, enforce frequency caps, and reduce invalid traffic.
- Rewards & Payouts: calculate balances, process withdrawals in supported cryptocurrencies, and provide support.
- Fraud Prevention: detect, investigate, and mitigate spam, abuse, and unauthorized automation.
- Compliance: comply with legal obligations, enforce our Terms, and respond to lawful requests.
- Communications: send service notices (e.g., security, payout status) and, with consent where required, optional updates.
Legal Bases (EEA/UK)
- Performance of a Contract: to provide the Services and payouts you request.
- Legitimate Interests: Site security, fraud prevention, analytics, and showing non-intrusive ads.
- Consent: for non-essential cookies/SDKs and personalized advertising where required.

Cookies & Similar Technologies
We use the following categories of cookies/technologies:

- Advertising: to deliver, measure, and cap ads, including retargeting where permitted.

You can manage preferences via our cookie banner/settings (Cookie Preferences) and through your browser controls. Disabling certain cookies may impact functionality.
Third-Party Services
We may use third-party services such as ad networks (including VAST and Popunder formats), analytics, and cryptocurrency partners. These parties may use cookies and similar technologies, act as independent controllers, and collect information directly from your device. Your interactions with them are governed by their privacy policies.
Information Sharing
- Service Providers: vendors who process data on our behalf (hosting, analytics, security, support, payout processing) under confidentiality and data protection obligations.
- Advertising/Offer Partners: to deliver and measure ads/offers and prevent invalid activity.
- Legal & Safety: to comply with law, enforce our Terms, or protect rights, property, or safety.
- Business Transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets.
- Aggregated/De-Identified Data: insights that do not identify you.
Data Retention
We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described, including legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. Retention periods vary by data type (e.g., security logs vs. account records). When no longer needed, we delete or de-identify data.
Security
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect information (encryption in transit, access controls, logging). No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
International Transfers
Your information may be processed in countries outside your own. Where required, we use appropriate safeguards (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses) to protect data transferred from the EEA/UK.
Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to:
- access, correct, or delete your personal data;
- object to or restrict certain processing;
- port your data to another service;
- withdraw consent at any time (where processing is based on consent);
- lodge a complaint with your supervisory authority (EEA/UK).
To exercise rights, contact us at support@artifaucet.com. We may request information to verify your identity.
California Privacy Notice (CCPA/CPRA)
California residents have the right to know, access, correct, delete, and opt-out of “sale”/“sharing” of personal information, and to limit use of sensitive personal information. We do not knowingly “sell” personal information in exchange for money; however, some ad practices may be considered “sharing” under California law. You can exercise rights or opt-out by contacting us at support@artifaucet.com and by adjusting cookie/ad preferences.
Children’s Privacy
Our Services are not directed to children. We do not knowingly collect personal data from children under the age required by applicable law (e.g., 13 in the U.S., 16 in parts of the EEA). If you believe a child has provided us data, contact us to request deletion.
Do Not Track
Some browsers transmit “Do Not Track” signals. Because there is no common industry standard, we currently do not respond to such signals. You can use our cookie controls and ad preferences to manage tracking.
Your Choices
- Cookie Preferences: adjust settings via the banner or Cookie Preferences.
- Browser & Device Controls: clear/disable cookies, limit ad tracking (OS settings), or use private browsing.
- Communications: you can opt-out of non-essential emails by following unsubscribe links. Service/transactional emails will still be sent.
- Ads: you may opt-out of interest-based advertising via your device settings and recognized industry opt-out pages (e.g., NAI/DAA/EDAA), where available.
Third-Party Links
The Site may link to third-party websites or services. We are not responsible for their content or privacy practices.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date indicates the latest changes. Your continued use of the Site after an update means you accept the revised Policy.
