Data We Collect

Privacy is central to everything we do at the Company. And we've enshrined transparency as one of our Company values. Accordingly, we aspire to be transparent about what little data we do collect. When you interact with the Services, we collect:

1. User-Provided Information: We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide when using the Service. This includes but is not limited to, profile data such as username, password, referral code, profile picture, and social media links, including “X”, aka “Twitter”, and your publicly available information on these social networks, interests, preferences, and any other information that you add to your account profile.

1. Communications data: based on our exchanges with you, including when you contact us through the Service, communicate with us via email, social media, or otherwise.

1. Publicly-available blockchain data. When you connect your non-custodial blockchain wallet to the Services, we collect and log your publicly available blockchain address. Note that blockchain addresses are publicly available data that are not created or assigned by us or any central party and by themselves are not personally identifying.

1. Transactional data, such as blockchain transaction history and other information associated with your linked cryptocurrency wallet, in order to purchase “dBOOK” on the Service. This also includes your “dBOOK” purchases and trade history.

1. User-generated content data, such as photos, images, music, videos, comments, questions, messages, works of authorship, and other content or information that you generate, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Service, as well as associated metadata. Metadata includes information on how, when, where, and by whom a piece of content was received and how that content has been formatted or edited. Metadata also includes information that users can add or can have added to their content, such as keywords and other similar data.

1. Information from local storage and other tracking technologies. We and our third-party services providers may access and collect information from local storage, mobile deviceID, cookies, web beacons, and other similar technologies to provide and personalize the Services and features of the Services for you across sessions. We may also use this information to learn about your preferences, your use of the Services, and our interactions with you. Information we collect from these technologies may include things such as browser type, referring/exit pages, operating system, device or browser language, and other device information. We group and analyze these user journeys collectively, in the aggregate, to improve our product user experience.

1. Marketing data, such as your preferences for receiving our marketing communications and details about your engagement with them.

Tracking Technologies

Some of the automatic data collection described above is facilitated by the following technologies:

1. Cookies are small text files that websites store on user devices and that allow web servers to record users’ web browsing activities and remember their submissions, preferences, and login status as they navigate a site. Cookies used on our sites include both “session cookies” that are deleted when a session ends, “persistent cookies” that remain longer, “first party” cookies that we place, and “third party” cookies that our third-party business partners and service providers place.

1. Local storage technologies, like HTML5, which provide cookie-equivalent functionality but can store larger amounts of data on your device outside of your browser in connection with specific applications.

1. Google Analytics, we also use Google Analytics to collect information about your use of the Service. Google Analytics collects information such as how often users visit the Service, what pages they visit when they do so, and what other sites they used prior to coming to the Service. We use the information we get from Google Analytics to improve the Service. Google Analytics collects only the IP address assigned to you on the date you visit the Service, rather than your name or other identifying information. We do not combine the information collected through the use of Google Analytics with personally identifiable information. Although Google Analytics plants a permanent cookie on your web browser to identify you as a unique user the next time you visit the Service, the cookie cannot be used by anyone but Google. Google's ability to use and share information collected by Google Analytics about your visits to the Service is restricted by the Google Analytics Terms of Use and the Google Privacy Policy.

1. To comply with our legal obligations: We may share your data in the course of litigation, regulatory proceedings, compliance measures, and when compelled by subpoena, court order, or other legal procedure.
