Sweepbase is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains what information we collect when you visit sweepbase.net ("the Site"), how we use it, how third-party affiliate networks and tracking services process data, and your rights. If you have any questions, contact us at support@sweepbase.net.
Sweepbase ("we", "us", or "our") operates the website sweepbase.net, an independent comparison platform for cryptocurrency debit and credit cards. Sweepbase is operated from the Republic of Moldova.
The natural person behind that operation, and therefore the data controller for the purposes of GDPR Article 4(7) and equivalent laws, is Mihail B., an individual based in the Republic of Moldova. No incorporated company sits between the site and the operator at this time. If that changes, this page will be updated with the new controller's details.
We do not issue cards, process payments, hold digital assets, or provide financial advice. We are not a financial institution, broker, or investment adviser.
When you visit the Site, certain non-personal data is collected automatically through server logs, analytics services, and cookies:
Sweepbase does not require account creation or registration. We do not collect or store payment card numbers, cryptocurrency wallet addresses, bank account information, Social Security numbers, government ID data, or other sensitive financial information.

We do not sell, rent, lease, or trade your personal data to third parties for marketing purposes.

Required for the Site to function correctly (e.g., Content Security Policy headers, session management). These cookies cannot be disabled without breaking core site functionality.

Important: Sweepbase does not control the cookies set by Impact.com, card issuers, or other third-party networks. Once you leave Sweepbase by clicking an affiliate link, you are subject to the destination site's and the affiliate network's privacy policies and cookie practices.
You can control and delete cookies through your browser settings. Most browsers allow you to:
Disabling analytics and affiliate cookies will not affect your ability to browse Sweepbase, but affiliate links may not function correctly if tracking cookies are blocked.
We use the following categories of third-party services:
Each third-party provider is governed by its own privacy policy and terms of service. We select providers that offer data processing agreements (DPAs) compatible with applicable data protection laws.
If you are located in the EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the following rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent local laws:
Our lawful bases for processing are: (a) legitimate interest for analytics and site improvement; (b) consent for newsletter subscriptions; (c) legal obligation for responding to lawful requests.
If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA) provide you with the following rights:
In the preceding 12 months, we have collected the following categories of personal information: (1) Internet or other electronic network activity (page views, clicks, IP address for log files and rate limiting); (2) email addresses (from voluntary newsletter signups only).
Send an email to support@sweepbase.net with the request type in the subject line: Right to Know, Right to Delete, Right to Correct, or Right to Opt-Out. Because we do not require accounts, the only personal data we can typically link to a specific person is a newsletter subscription — include the email address you used to sign up so we can locate your record.
We do not sell personal information and we do not share it for cross-context behavioural advertising, so an opt-out request mainly serves to confirm that status in writing. If our practices ever change, this section will be updated and existing newsletter subscribers will be notified.
An authorised agent may submit a request on your behalf. We will ask for written proof of authorisation and may verify your identity directly before acting on the request, as permitted under CCPA §1798.130 and the implementing regulations.
We respond to verifiable consumer requests within 45 days of receipt. If more time is needed, we will notify you in writing and may extend the response period by an additional 45 days, in line with CCPA §1798.130(a)(2).
Exercising your CCPA rights will not result in denial of service, different prices, or reduced quality of service. This is the right to non-discrimination under CCPA §1798.125.
To exercise any of the rights described above, please contact us at support@sweepbase.net with a description of your request. We will respond within 30 days (or the period required by applicable law).
Because we collect minimal personal data and do not require accounts, in many cases we may not be able to link collected data to a specific individual. For newsletter subscribers, please include the email address used to subscribe so we can identify your record.
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your data, including:
No method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Sweepbase is operated from the Republic of Moldova. Some of our third-party service providers (Vercel, Google, Resend, Sentry, Upstash, Impact.com) may process data in countries outside the European Economic Area, including the United States.
Where data is transferred outside the EEA, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs), adequacy decisions by the European Commission, or equivalent mechanisms to ensure your data is protected to EU standards.
Sweepbase is not directed at children under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us at support@sweepbase.net and we will delete it promptly.
The Site contains links to external websites operated by card issuers, affiliate networks, and other third parties. Once you leave Sweepbase by clicking an external link, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. You will be subject to the privacy policy and cookie practices of the destination website.
We strongly recommend reviewing the privacy policy of any external site before providing personal information, completing applications, or conducting transactions. Sweepbase is not responsible for the privacy practices, data security, or content of third-party websites.
Some browsers transmit a "Do Not Track" (DNT) signal. There is currently no industry-wide standard for DNT compliance. Sweepbase does not currently respond to DNT signals, but we do not engage in cross-site behavioural tracking.
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, legal requirements, or third-party services. When we make material changes, we will update the "Effective date" at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Moldova. For dispute resolution procedures, see our Terms of Use, Section 14.
If you have any questions, concerns, or requests regarding this Privacy Policy, our data practices, or your privacy rights, please contact us at:
We aim to respond to all privacy-related inquiries within 30 days.
