Privacy Policy - MindPool, Inc.

Effective Date: May 1, 2024

1. Introduction

MindPool, Inc. ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to explaining how information is handled when you use our platforms and interfaces. This Privacy Policy describes our practices regarding information, particularly distinguishing between data processed by our interfaces and data recorded on public blockchains.

2. Scope

This Policy applies to the information processed by MindPool, Inc. through our websites and interfaces. It does not govern the data permanently recorded on public blockchains through your interaction with various DeFi protocols.

3. Information Recorded on the Blockchain

Interacting with blockchain protocols involves sending transactions to the blockchain. This data is public, permanent, and immutable. This typically includes:

  • Your public wallet address.
  • Transaction details (amounts, timestamps, interactions with smart contracts).
  • Gas fees paid.

MindPool, Inc. does not control the blockchain or the data recorded on it. Anyone can access and view this information using blockchain explorers. Do not transact on the blockchain if you are not comfortable with this public transparency.

4. Information We May Collect (Via the Interface)

When you use our Platform interfaces, we may collect limited information necessary for the website's operation and improvement. This could potentially include:

  • Public Wallet Address: When you connect your wallet to our interface, we receive your public address to display information relevant to you fetched from the blockchain. We do not receive your private keys.
  • Usage Data: We may collect standard web log information, such as your browser type, operating system, IP address (which may be anonymized or pseudonymized), pages visited, time spent, and referring URLs. This is used for analytics, security monitoring, and improving the user experience.
  • Cookies: We may use cookies or similar technologies to enhance your experience, remember preferences, and for analytics.
  • Contact Information: If you contact us directly (e.g., via email for support), we will collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and the content of your message.

5. How We Use Information Collected by the Interface

We use the limited information collected via the interface for purposes such as:

  • Providing and operating our Platform interfaces.
  • Displaying relevant blockchain data associated with your connected wallet address.
  • Personalizing your experience (e.g., remembering settings).
  • Analyzing usage patterns to improve our Platforms.
  • Monitoring for security threats and preventing fraud.
  • Responding to your support requests or inquiries.
  • Complying with legal obligations (though blockchain data itself is largely outside our control).

6. Information Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information collected via the interface in limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: With third-party vendors who help us operate the Platform (e.g., hosting providers, analytics services). These providers are contractually obligated to protect the information and use it only for the services they provide to us.
  • Legal Requirements: If required by law, regulation, subpoena, or other legal process, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of MindPool, Inc., our users, or others.
  • Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of the transaction.

Remember: Blockchain data is inherently public and not subject to this sharing policy as we do not control it.

7. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we collect via the interface from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure.

8. Third-Party Links & Services

Our Platforms may contain links to third-party websites or services (e.g., blockchain explorers, wallet providers). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these third parties. Please review their privacy policies.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Platform is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18 (or the relevant age of majority). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

10. Your Choices

  • Wallet Connection: You choose whether to connect your wallet to the interface.
  • Cookies: You can typically manage cookie preferences through your browser settings.
  • Blockchain Data: You cannot control the public nature of data once it is recorded on the blockchain.

11. Changes to this Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of significant changes by updating the "Effective Date" and potentially through other means.
