Last Updated: [Date - Placeholder]
Information We Collect
We aim to minimize data collection. The information we may collect includes:
- Log Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record information ("Log Data") created by your use of the Site. Log Data may include information such as your IP address, browser type, operating system, the referring web page, pages visited, location (if enabled), device information, and search terms. We use this data for monitoring, security, and improving the Site.
- Cookies: We may use cookies to operate and improve the Site. A cookie is a small data file transferred to your device. We may use session cookies (which expire when you close your browser) and persistent cookies (which stay on your device until deleted). We use cookies to understand how you interact with the Site and to remember your preferences (like accepting the cookie notice). You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of the Site.
- Contact Information: If you contact us directly (e.g., via a contact form or email link if provided), we may receive additional information about you such as your name, email address, the contents of the message, and any other information you may choose to provide.
- Donation Information: If you choose to donate, transaction details (including sending addresses and amounts) are publicly available on the respective blockchains. We do not typically collect personal information directly linked to donations unless you provide it separately.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect for purposes such as:
- Operating, maintaining, and improving the Site.
- Understanding and analyzing how you use the Site.
- Enhancing the security of the Site.
- Communicating with you, if you contact us.
- Complying with legal obligations.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal information. We may share information under the following limited circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may engage third-party companies or individuals as service providers (e.g., hosting providers) to process information and support our Site. These providers have access to your information only to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for other purposes.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or a government agency).
- Protection of Rights: We may disclose information where we believe it necessary to investigate, prevent, or take action regarding illegal activities, suspected fraud, situations involving potential threats to the physical safety of any person, violations of our Terms of Use, or as otherwise required by law.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is completely secure.
Third-Party Links
Our Site may contain links to other websites not operated by us (e.g., GitHub, Reddit). If you click a third-party link, you will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise you to review the Privacy Policy of every site you visit. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services.
Children's Privacy
Our Site is not intended for use by children under the age of 13 (or relevant age in your jurisdiction), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the "Last Updated" date. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
