At SmartCurrencyTools ("we," "our," or "us"), accessible from smartcurrencytools.com, protecting the privacy of our visitors is one of our top priorities. This Privacy Policy document outlines the types of information that is collected and recorded by SmartCurrencyTools and how we utilize it.

3. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us, such as when you submit a query via our contact form, sign up for currency rate alerts, or configure user preferences:

• Rate Alerts: When you subscribe to an exchange rate alert, we collect your email address, base currency, target currency, and target threshold. We use this strictly to deliver the requested notification.
• Contact Submissions: If you contact us directly, we may receive additional information such as your name, email address, message contents, and attachments.
• Log Files: Like most web applications, SmartCurrencyTools follows standard log file procedures. These files log internet protocol (IP) addresses, browser type, Internet Service Provider (ISP), date/time stamp, referring/exit pages, and number of clicks. These are not linked to personally identifiable information.
