Privacy policy

Tenge Today is the tenge.today website and the Tenge Today apps for iPhone and Android: National Bank rates, exchangers and banks, a converter, deposits, crypto and financial news for Kazakhstan. In this policy, "we" means Tenge Today. For any question about your data, write to admin@tenge.today.

There is nothing to sign up for: we never ask for your name, phone number, email address or payment details. Below is everything that is collected automatically, and why.

• Google Analytics: which pages you open, how long you stay on them, what you tap (such as the App Store link), your device type, browser and language, your approximate location from your IP address, and where you came from, including which ad.
• The Meta pixel (Facebook, Instagram): page views and taps on the buttons that download the app or add the site to your home screen. It tells us whether our Instagram and Facebook ads bring people who find the site useful.
• Google Maps on exchanger pages: Google loads the map and sees your IP address and browser details.

Google Analytics and the Meta pixel keep their own cookies in your browser to recognize repeat visits.

The site itself keeps only settings in your browser: the city you picked (cookie tt_city), the language (cookie NEXT_LOCALE), the color theme, the fact that you closed the offer to install the app (for a month), and, until you close the tab, your location if you shared it and the ad campaign that brought you. Staff who publish reviews get a sign-in cookie for the editor.

The site asks for your location only when you tap "Use my location". The coordinates go to our server to sort exchangers and branches by distance, and are not stored anywhere except the server's technical logs.

• Firebase Analytics (Google): which screens you open and what you do in the app, such as converting currency, opening an exchanger or adding a rate to favorites; your device model, system and app version, language and approximate location from your IP address. On iPhone the app does not ask for permission to track you and does not receive the device's advertising identifier.
• Firebase Crashlytics and Performance Monitoring: crash and speed reports, so we can find and fix problems.
• Firebase Remote Config and In-App Messaging: settings and in-app messages we can change without an update.
• Firebase Cloud Messaging: if you allow notifications, a device token we use to send you rate and news notifications. You can turn notifications off in your phone's settings.
• Location: only if you allow it, and only while the app is open, to show the nearest exchangers and branches. You can withdraw access in your phone's settings.
• Google AdMob ads: the app shows Google ads. To show and measure them, Google receives your IP address and device details.

Your favorites, chosen city and converter state stay on your device.

Like any website, our server records technical details of each request: the IP address, the full page address with its parameters, the time, and browser or app details. The logs keep the service running and secure, and are kept for 30 days.

• to show rates, exchangers and branches near you;
• to learn which sections are useful and improve the site and the apps;
• to see whether our advertising works, and spend less on it;
• to find and fix bugs;
• to send the notifications you signed up for;
• to show the ads that keep the app free.

We do not sell data, and we share it with no one but the services listed below, except where the law requires it.

• Google (Google Analytics, Firebase, Google Maps, AdMob, and Google Cloud, which runs our server): https://policies.google.com/privacy
• Meta Platforms (the Meta pixel): https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy

These companies' servers and ours are outside Kazakhstan: our server is in Belgium, and Google and Meta may process data in various countries, including the United States. By using the site and the apps, you agree to this cross-border transfer.

Our server logs: 30 days. Google Analytics, Firebase and Meta pixel data is kept under those services' own rules; we look at it in aggregate and never tie it to your name.

• You can turn off Google Analytics in your browser with Google's add-on: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
• You can block cookies, including third-party ones, in your browser settings; the site keeps working but will not remember your city.
• Meta ad settings are under "Ad preferences" in your Facebook or Instagram account.
• The app's location access and notifications are switched off in your phone's settings.

Under the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Personal Data and Their Protection", you can ask which of your data we process, have it corrected or deleted, and withdraw your consent. Write to admin@tenge.today. Since there are no accounts, include something that helps us find your data, such as the date of your visit or an identifier shown by the app.

The site and the apps are not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect their data.

When we start collecting something new or change services, we update this page and the date at the top.
