What Information Do We Collect?
Cryptona collects both Personally Identifiable Information (PII) and Non-Personally Identifiable Information (Non-PII) to meet its business obligations:
- Personally Identifiable Information is any information that can lead to the identification of a living individual, including names, contact data, driving license, financial data, and more. There are two types of personally identifiable information: sensitive and non-sensitive personally identifiable information. Sensitive data may include your full name, driver’s license, medical records, and financial information, while non-sensitive information may include your date of birth and zip code.
- Non-Personally Identifiable Information is any information that may include generic data and logs, including demographic data (age, ethnic origin, gender), IP address, and other technical data. In other words, non-personally identifiable information is anonymous and cannot be used to trace a user’s identity.

There are various means we employ to collect and process personal data. Some of the main ways to collect your data include:
- Information that you consensually provide to us when you sign up for services or promotional materials
- Information exchanged during personal correspondence after you’ve filled out the contact form on the website

What Are Our Legal Grounds as a Data Controller?
