Data We Collect
The Company does not attempt to track the individual users of its Services. Limited data is collected to provide the Services and improve the Services. We do not maintain user accounts and do not collect and store personal data, such as your name or internet protocol (“IP”) address. When you interact with the Services, we collect only:
- Information from localStorage (a web standard method for storing and retrieving data in your browser across sessions) and other tracking technologies. We and our third-party services providers may access and collect information from localStorage, mobile deviceID, cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to provide and personalize the Services and features of the Services for you across sessions. For example, we may use this information to remember your map view preferences or how you’d like to manage auto token wrapping with transactions. Information we collect from these technologies may include things such as browser type, page load times, referring/exit pages, operating system, device or browser language, and other device information. We group and analyze this data in the aggregate, to improve our product user experience.
- Privacy-focused analytics. We use open-source, cookie-free, fully GDPR, CCPA, & PECR compliant scripts and services to collect and analyze anonymous usage data for statistical purposes. Data collected includes referral sources, top pages, visit duration, information from the devices (device type, operating system, country and browser) used during the visit and more.
- Information from other sources. We may receive information about your wallet address or transactions made through the Applications from our service providers in order to comply with our legal obligations and prevent the use of our Applications in connection with fraudulent or other illicit activities.

If you specifically provide us with information (such as your email address), we may use that information for the purposes described when you provide it to us. We will not attempt to link any information you provide to your wallet address, IP address, or other personal data. You do not need to provide us with any personal data to use the Services.
