Information we may collect

ProtectCrystal may receive basic technical information when you visit the site, such as browser type, device information, referring pages, general location inferred from network data, pages viewed, and approximate visit timing. If you choose to send a message through a reader contact route, we may receive the details you provide in that message.

We do not need sensitive personal information to explain visible mineral cues, marketplace wording, care routines, or handling boundaries. Please avoid sending private medical, financial, or highly sensitive details when asking a crystal guide question.

How information is used

• • To operate, maintain, and improve the website experience.
• • To understand which guide topics, policy pages, and comparison notes readers use.
• • To respond to reader messages when a reply is appropriate.
• • To reduce spam, abuse, technical errors, and security issues.
• • To review whether older pages need clearer wording, safer handling notes, or better claim boundaries.

Cookies and similar tools

The site may use cookies or similar technologies for basic functionality, analytics, performance review, spam prevention, or remembering limited preferences. These tools can help show whether readers are reaching practical pages such as buying notes, handling cautions, or policy explanations.

You can usually adjust cookie handling in your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect site features, analytics accuracy, or embedded services.

Third-party links and services

ProtectCrystal may link to external websites, marketplaces, reference pages, tools, or services. Those third parties may handle data under their own policies. A link from ProtectCrystal does not mean we control that site’s privacy practices, seller claims, product descriptions, testing methods, or safety statements.

Some pages may also use third-party services for analytics, hosting, security, embedded content, or affiliate tracking. These services may receive technical data needed to provide their functions.

Reader messages

If you contact the site, your message may be used to answer your question, correct a page issue, or identify a common reader concern. We may keep messages when they help track support history, improve wording, or prevent misuse.

For help with privacy questions, use the Reader Contact Desk.

Information sharing

ProtectCrystal does not treat reader data as a product catalog. Information may be shared only when needed for site operation, service providers, legal obligations, security review, spam prevention, business continuity, or with your direction.

Updates to this policy

This policy may be revised when the site changes its tools, services, reader contact process, or privacy handling language. Significant updates will be reflected on this page so readers can understand the current approach.
