Our legitimate interests include fraud prevention, security, marketplace operations, dispute handling, transaction monitoring, and service improvement.

5. How We Share Information

We may share information:

6. Public and On-Chain Data

Some information connected to Platform use is inherently public or may become public, including wallet addresses, transaction hashes, blockchain events, public Farcaster / registry state, and usernames or fnames associated with public registries.

Because blockchains are public, some activity related to your use of the Platform may be permanently visible to others. Do not submit information to the Platform if you do not want it associated with public blockchain activity where such association is unavoidable.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, session tokens, analytics technologies, and similar mechanisms to keep you signed in, remember preferences, maintain session security, understand usage and performance, detect abuse, and protect the Platform.

You may be able to control some cookies through your browser settings, but disabling them may affect Platform functionality.

8. Data Retention

We retain information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Policy, including to operate the Platform, maintain records of transactions, audit events, disputes, comply with legal, tax, accounting, and security obligations, enforce agreements, and resolve claims.

Some records may be retained longer where legally required or operationally necessary. Public blockchain data cannot be deleted by us.

9. Security

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to protect personal data. However, no method of transmission, storage, or blockchain interaction is completely secure.

You are responsible for securing your own wallet, devices, credentials, sessions, Telegram account, and connected accounts.

10. International Transfers

Your information may be processed or stored in countries other than your own. By using the Platform, you acknowledge that your information may be transferred internationally, subject to applicable legal protections where required.

11. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access personal data we hold about you, request correction of inaccurate data, request deletion of certain personal data, object to certain processing, request restriction of processing, request portability of certain data, withdraw consent where processing is based on consent, or lodge a complaint with a regulator.

These rights are subject to legal and technical limitations. For example, we cannot delete public blockchain records.

The Platform is not intended for children, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from individuals under 18.

13. Telegram and Third-Party Messaging

If you link Telegram or another messaging channel, we may process your Telegram user ID, chat ID, Telegram username, message delivery state, linking tokens, and related metadata.

Third-party messaging platforms operate under their own privacy terms and security practices. We are not responsible for the privacy or security practices of those third parties.

14. Compliance and Fraud Prevention

We may use personal data, transaction data, blockchain analytics, and device or session data to detect and prevent fraud, account compromise, sanctions risk, suspicious activity, and misuse of the Platform.

We may preserve and disclose information where necessary to investigate or respond to security incidents or unlawful conduct.

15. No Sale of Personal Data to Advertisers

We do not sell your personal data to advertisers.

16. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on the Platform and update the “Last Updated” date. Continued use of the Platform after changes become effective means the updated Policy applies to your continued use.
