1. Introduction and Overview

Welcome to ClaimWSOL's Privacy Policy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you visit and use our decentralized application platform (the "Platform"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about our data practices.

ClaimWSOL operates as a decentralized platform on the Solana blockchain. Unlike traditional web applications, we prioritize user privacy and data minimization. This means we collect and process only the minimal amount of information necessary to provide our services.

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your information and how we will treat it. If you do not agree with the terms of this Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Platform.

By accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Privacy Policy, as well as our Terms of Service. This Privacy Policy is incorporated into and forms part of our Terms of Service.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information We DO NOT Collect

As a decentralized application, ClaimWSOL is fundamentally different from traditional platforms. We want to be clear about what we DO NOT collect:

• Personal identification information (name, email address, phone number, physical address)
• Private keys, seed phrases, or wallet credentials
• Passwords or authentication tokens
• Financial information or banking details
• Social security numbers or government-issued identification
• Biometric data or facial recognition information
• Your actual token balances or transaction amounts (beyond what's publicly visible on the blockchain)

2.2 Blockchain Information (Public Data)

When you interact with the Platform, certain information is recorded on the Solana blockchain:

• Your public wallet address (this is publicly visible on the blockchain)
• Transaction hashes and timestamps of your claims and transfers
• Token amounts involved in transactions
• Smart contract interactions and their outcomes

This information is not collected by us - it is inherently public and permanently recorded on the Solana blockchain. Anyone can view this information using blockchain explorers like Solscan. We have no control over this data and cannot delete or modify it.

2.3 Browser and Device Information

When you access the Platform, your browser automatically provides certain technical information:

• IP address (which may be anonymized or masked)
• Browser type and version
• Operating system
• Device type (mobile, tablet, desktop)
• Screen resolution and display settings
• Referring website or source
• Pages visited and time spent on the Platform
• General geographic location (country or region level, not precise location)

This information is collected through standard web server logs and is used solely for technical purposes such as maintaining platform security, optimizing performance, and understanding general usage patterns.

2.4 Local Storage Data

To provide a seamless user experience, we store certain information locally in your browser:

• Your public wallet address (to maintain your session and remember your connection)
• User preferences (theme, language, display settings)
• Recently viewed transactions or claims
• Cooldown timers for claim eligibility
• Mining session data and accumulated points

This data is stored exclusively in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device. We cannot access this information remotely. You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings or by disconnecting your wallet.

2.5 Cookies and Similar Technologies

We use minimal cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality:

• Essential Cookies: Required for basic platform functionality, such as maintaining your wallet connection session
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how the Platform is used (anonymized data only)

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies. You can control cookie settings through your browser preferences, though disabling essential cookies may affect platform functionality.

3. How We Use Your Information

The limited information we collect or have access to is used exclusively for the following purposes:

3.1 Platform Operation and Functionality

• Facilitating wallet connections and blockchain interactions
• Processing token claims and distributing rewards
• Calculating mining points and tier status
• Enforcing cooldown periods and anti-abuse measures
• Displaying your transaction history and account status

3.2 Platform Improvement and Optimization

• Analyzing general usage patterns to improve user experience
• Identifying and fixing bugs or technical issues
• Optimizing platform performance and load times
• Understanding which features are most valuable to users

3.3 Security and Fraud Prevention

• Protecting our rights and property

We will never sell, rent, or share your information with third parties for their marketing purposes. We do not use your information for targeted advertising.

4. Wallet Connection and Interactions

4.1 Wallet Provider Responsibility: When you connect your wallet to the Platform, you are using a third-party wallet provider (such as Phantom, Solflare, or others). These wallet providers have their own privacy policies and data practices that are independent of ClaimWSOL.

4.2 Our Access and Control: We want to be absolutely clear about what we can and cannot access:

• We CAN see your public wallet address when you connect
• We CAN see transactions you make through our Platform on the blockchain
• We CANNOT access your private keys or seed phrase
• We CANNOT move or control your tokens without your explicit approval
• We CANNOT see your wallet password or credentials
• We CANNOT recover your wallet if you lose access

4.3 Transaction Authorization: Every transaction requires your explicit approval through your wallet provider. We never initiate transactions on your behalf. You maintain full control of your assets at all times.

4.4 Session Management: Your wallet connection session is maintained locally in your browser. When you disconnect your wallet or close your browser, this session ends. We do not maintain persistent server-side sessions.

4.5 Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for the security of your wallet credentials. Never share your private keys, seed phrases, or passwords with anyone, including ClaimWSOL team members. We will never ask for this information.

5. Blockchain Transparency and Public Data

Understanding the public nature of blockchain is crucial to understanding our privacy practices:

5.1 Immutable Public Record: The Solana blockchain is a public, immutable ledger. All transactions are permanently recorded and publicly visible to anyone. This includes:

• Your wallet address
• Token amounts sent and received
• Transaction timestamps
• Smart contract interactions
• Gas fees paid

5.2 Pseudonymity vs. Anonymity: While blockchain provides pseudonymity (your real identity is not directly tied to your wallet address), it does not provide complete anonymity. With sufficient effort, it may be possible to link wallet addresses to real-world identities through:

• Exchange KYC records if you purchased tokens through a centralized exchange
• Transaction pattern analysis
• Public disclosure of your wallet address on social media or forums
• Blockchain forensics and analysis tools

5.3 Blockchain Explorers: Anyone can view blockchain data using public explorers like Solscan. These services are independent of ClaimWSOL and operate their own data collection and privacy practices.

5.4 No Deletion Possible: Due to the immutable nature of blockchain, we cannot delete, modify, or hide your transaction history. This data exists independently of ClaimWSOL and will remain on the blockchain permanently.

6. Third-Party Services and Integrations

The Platform integrates with various third-party services to function. Understanding these relationships is important for your privacy:

6.1 Wallet Providers

Services like Phantom, Solflare, and other Solana wallet providers have their own privacy policies. When you use these wallets, you are subject to their data practices. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies.

6.2 RPC Node Providers

We use Remote Procedure Call (RPC) nodes to interact with the Solana blockchain. These providers may collect:

• IP addresses of connection requests
• Request timestamps and frequency
• Wallet addresses involved in queries

We use reputable RPC providers and encourage you to review their privacy policies. Where possible, you may configure your own RPC endpoint.

6.3 Analytics Services

We may use privacy-focused analytics services to understand platform usage. These services:

• Collect anonymized and aggregated data only
• Do not track individuals across websites
• Do not use data for advertising purposes
• Respect Do Not Track browser settings

6.4 Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

We use CDNs to deliver platform assets quickly and reliably. CDNs may collect standard web log information such as IP addresses and user agents for their own operational purposes.

6.5 No Third-Party Marketing: We do not integrate with advertising networks, social media pixels, or marketing platforms that track users across websites for behavioral advertising purposes.

7. Data Retention and Storage

7.1 Minimal Server-Side Storage: Because ClaimWSOL operates as a decentralized application, we store minimal data on our servers. Most data remains on the blockchain or in your local browser storage.

7.2 Local Storage Retention: Data stored in your browser's local storage remains there until you:

• Clear your browser data or cache
• Disconnect your wallet from the Platform
• Manually delete the data through browser settings

7.3 Server Log Retention: Technical logs (such as access logs for security purposes) are retained for a limited period, typically 30-90 days, after which they are automatically deleted.

7.4 Legal Retention Requirements: In some cases, we may be required to retain certain information to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

7.5 Blockchain Data Permanence: As explained earlier, blockchain data is permanent and immutable. We cannot control or delete this data.

8. Data Security Measures

We take the security of the limited data we handle seriously and implement industry-standard security measures:

8.1 Technical Security

• HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
• Secure hosting infrastructure with regular security updates
• DDoS protection and rate limiting

8.4 Your Security Responsibility

While we implement robust security measures, the most critical security aspect is your wallet security. You are responsible for:

• Keeping your private keys and seed phrases absolutely secret
• Using strong, unique passwords for your wallet
• Enabling two-factor authentication where available
• Being cautious of phishing attempts and fake websites
• Keeping your device and browser updated with security patches
• Never sharing your credentials with anyone

8.5 Security Limitations: No method of electronic storage or transmission is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security. Use the Platform at your own risk.

9. Your Privacy Rights and Choices

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your information:

9.1 Access and Transparency

Since most data is either on the public blockchain or stored locally in your browser, you already have access to it. For any server-side data we may hold, you can request information about what data exists.

9.2 Data Deletion

You can delete local storage data at any time by:

• Disconnecting your wallet from the Platform
• Clearing your browser's local storage and cookies
• Using browser privacy modes

Note: Blockchain data cannot be deleted due to its immutable nature.

9.3 Opt-Out of Analytics

You can opt out of analytics by:

• Using browser privacy extensions or ad blockers
• Enabling your browser's Do Not Track setting
• Adjusting your preferences in the Platform settings (if available)

9.4 Cookie Management

Control cookies through your browser settings. Note that disabling essential cookies may impact platform functionality.

9.5 Portability

Your blockchain transaction history is inherently portable - you can access it through any blockchain explorer or wallet interface.

9.6 Exercising Your Rights: To exercise any of these rights or if you have questions about your data, please contact us through our official channels. We will respond to legitimate requests within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable laws.

10. International Users and Data Transfers

ClaimWSOL is a decentralized platform accessible globally. By using the Platform:

10.1 Global Accessibility: The Platform can be accessed from anywhere with internet access. However, you are responsible for ensuring your use complies with local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

10.2 Data Location: Due to the decentralized nature of blockchain and our infrastructure, data may be processed or stored in various locations. The blockchain is inherently distributed across global nodes.

10.3 Legal Compliance: We aim to comply with applicable data protection laws, including GDPR (Europe), CCPA (California), and other regional privacy regulations, to the extent they apply to our decentralized operations.

10.4 Limited Data Collection: Because we collect minimal personal data, many traditional data transfer concerns are less relevant to our operations.

11. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18 (or the age of legal majority in their jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect information from children under 18.

If you believe we have inadvertently collected information from a child under 18, please contact us immediately, and we will take appropriate steps to investigate and address the situation.

Parents and guardians should monitor their children's online activities and educate them about the risks associated with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology.
