Cookies and Similar Technologies
We and our partners use cookies, pixels, tags, SDKs, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the Services, remember preferences, conduct analytics, and provide advertising. You can manage cookies through your browser or device settings to disable or delete non-essential cookies. If you block cookies, some features may not function properly. Where required by law, we will obtain your consent for non-essential cookies.
Analytics, Advertising, and Affiliate Tracking
We may work with analytics providers and advertising partners that set cookies or collect identifiers and internet activity information over time and across sites and apps to measure usage and to deliver, tailor, and measure ads. We may also participate in affiliate programs that use tracking links or IDs to attribute referrals. Under certain state laws, these activities may constitute a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising. You can opt out as described in the “Your Privacy Rights” section.
Blockchain and On-Chain Data
Some Services relate to public blockchain activity. Public blockchain transactions (including wallet addresses and transaction hashes) are recorded immutably and may be accessible to anyone. We do not control and cannot delete or alter data stored on public blockchains. If you link or submit a wallet address or transaction information to the Services, you acknowledge that associated on-chain data may be publicly available and beyond our control.

We do not sell personal information for money. We may “share” or “sell” (as those terms are defined in certain state laws) identifiers and internet activity information for targeted advertising and analytics. You may opt out of such “sale” or “sharing” as described below.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, including to meet legal, accounting, or reporting requirements, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. We consider the nature and sensitivity of the information, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes of processing, and applicable legal requirements. Public blockchain data may persist indefinitely on-chain and is outside our control.
Security
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
