Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how PointOneEight.SOL (the "Service") collects, uses, and protects information when you use our Service. By using the Service, you consent to the practices described in this policy.

2. Blockchain Transparency

2.1 Public Blockchain Data

The Solana blockchain is a public, decentralized ledger. All transactions are permanently recorded and visible to anyone. When you use the Service:

• Your wallet address is publicly visible
• All transaction amounts and timestamps are public
• Your position in the queue is public
• All deposits and payouts are permanently recorded
• This information can NEVER be deleted or made private

2.2 No Anonymity

While wallet addresses are pseudonymous, they are NOT anonymous. Blockchain analysis can potentially link your wallet address to your real identity, especially if you use centralized exchanges or services that require KYC (Know Your Customer) verification.

3. Information We Collect

3.1 Wallet Information

• Solana wallet address (when you connect your wallet)
• Transaction signatures
• Deposit and payout amounts
• Queue position and status

3.2 Usage Data

We may collect:

• Browser type and version
• Device information
• IP address
• Pages visited and time spent
• Referral source

3.3 Local Storage

The Service uses browser localStorage to remember:

• Your acceptance of risk disclaimers
• UI preferences and settings
• Session data for improved user experience

You can clear localStorage at any time through your browser settings.

3.4 No Accounts or Passwords

The Service does NOT require account creation, emails, passwords, or personal identifying information. Authentication is done solely through your self-custodial Solana wallet.

4. How We Use Information

We use collected information to:

• Operate and maintain the Service
• Process deposits and payouts
• Display queue statistics and leaderboards
• Prevent fraud and abuse
• Analyze usage patterns and improve the Service
• Comply with legal obligations

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

5.1 Public Display

The following information is displayed publicly on the Service:

• Aggregate statistics (total deposited, payouts, etc.)

5.2 Third-Party Services

The Service may use third-party providers for:

• RPC Providers: Helius or other Solana RPC endpoints to interact with the blockchain
• Wallet Providers: Phantom, Solflare, or other wallet extensions you choose to connect
• Analytics: Usage analytics to improve the Service (if implemented)

These providers have their own privacy policies governing their use of information.

5.3 Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of the Service, its users, or the public.

6. Data Security

While we implement reasonable security measures, NO system is completely secure. Risks include:

• Smart contract vulnerabilities

You are responsible for the security of your own wallet and private keys.

7. Your Responsibilities

7.1 Wallet Security

• Never share your private key or seed phrase
• Use hardware wallets for large amounts
• Verify transaction details before signing
• Disconnect your wallet when not in use

7.2 Privacy Considerations

If you want privacy, consider:

• Using a dedicated wallet for this Service (not connected to your identity)
• Not mixing funds between identifiable and private wallets
• Understanding that blockchain analysis can trace transactions

8. Cookies and Tracking

The Service may use cookies or similar tracking technologies for:

• Essential site functionality
• Remembering your preferences
• Analytics and performance monitoring

You can disable cookies in your browser, but this may affect site functionality.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service is NOT intended for individuals under 18 years old. We do not knowingly collect information from minors. If we learn we have collected data from someone under 18, we will delete it promptly.

10. International Users

The Service operates on a decentralized blockchain accessible worldwide. If you access the Service from outside [JURISDICTION], you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with local laws.

Data may be transferred to and processed in countries with different data protection laws than your own.

11. Data Retention

• Blockchain Data: Permanent and cannot be deleted
• Server Logs: Retained for operational purposes, typically 30-90 days
• Database Records: Retained while Service is operational
• localStorage: Stored locally in your browser until you clear it

12. Your Rights

Due to the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, we have LIMITED ability to:

• Delete or modify blockchain transaction records (impossible)
• Remove your wallet address from public ledgers (impossible)
• Provide "right to be forgotten" for blockchain data (impossible)

However, you can:

• Request deletion of off-chain data we control (server logs, etc.)
• Stop using the Service at any time
• Clear localStorage in your browser

13. Changes to This Policy

This Privacy Policy may be updated at any time without notice. Continued use of the Service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy. Check this page periodically for updates.
