Privacy Policy for Wasteland DEX
At Wasteland DEX, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring the security of your information. This Privacy Policy outlines our practices regarding the collection, use, and protection of information in connection with our decentralized exchange operations, liquidity provision, yield farming, token swaps, blockchain security audits, smart contract development, DeFi consulting, and financial asset tokenization services. As a decentralized platform, our interaction with personal data is fundamentally different from traditional centralized services.
1. Principles of Data Handling in a Decentralized Environment
Wasteland DEX operates on blockchain technology, which is inherently designed to be transparent, immutable, and pseudo-anonymous. Our services primarily involve direct interaction with blockchain protocols and smart contracts. This means:
- Decentralized Control: Transactions on our platform are processed directly on the blockchain by smart contracts, not by Wasteland DEX servers. This means we do not hold custody of user funds or directly execute trades.
- Pseudonymity: Your interactions with our services are linked to your public blockchain address, which is not directly tied to your real-world identity unless you choose to disclose it elsewhere.
- Transparency: All transactions and smart contract code are verifiable on the public blockchain.
2. Information We Do Not Collect Directly
Given the nature of our decentralized services, Wasteland DEX does not directly collect, store, or process personal identifying information (PII) such as:
- Names, email addresses, or phone numbers.
- Physical addresses or dates of birth.
- Government-issued identification numbers.
- Financial account information beyond your public blockchain address.
3. Information We May Interact With (Non-PII)
In order to provide our services and improve user experience, we may interact with the following types of non-personally identifiable information:
- Blockchain Transaction Data: This includes public wallet addresses, transaction hashes, timestamps, token amounts, and other data available on the public blockchain. This information is publicly accessible and not considered personal data by Wasteland DEX as it does not directly identify an individual.
- Technical Data: When you connect to our site, we may automatically collect certain information about your device, including your IP address (which is typically anonymized or not logged in conjunction with other identifying data), browser type, operating system, and referral sources. This data is used for network security, debugging, and service optimization.
- Usage Data: We may gather aggregated, anonymized statistics about how users interact with our platform, such as features used, pages visited, and time spent on the site. This helps us understand user behavior and improve our services.
- Cookies and Similar Technologies: Our site may use cookies to enhance user experience, such as remembering preferences or facilitating connection to your web3 wallet. These cookies do not store personal data. You can configure your browser to refuse all or some browser cookies, or to alert you when websites set or access cookies. If you disable or refuse cookies, please note that some parts of our site may become inaccessible or not function properly.
4. How We Use Non-PII
The non-personally identifiable information we interact with is used solely for the purpose of:
- Operating, maintaining, and improving our decentralized exchange and DeFi services.
- Ensuring the security and integrity of our platform.
- Analyzing trends and usage patterns to enhance user experience and develop new features.
- Complying with legal obligations where applicable to aggregated or anonymized data.
5. Data Sharing and Disclosure
Wasteland DEX does not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer any personal data. As we do not collect personal data directly, there is no personal data to share. Public blockchain transaction data is, by its nature, publicly available and shared across the blockchain network.
In limited circumstances, and without involving personal identity, we may share aggregated or anonymized usage data with third parties for analytics, research, or service improvement, ensuring that no individual user can be identified from this data.
6. Data Security
We implement robust security measures to protect our centralized infrastructure and the information we interact with, mainly non-PII. These measures include:
- Using secure communication protocols (HTTPS).
- Regular security audits of our smart contracts and platform code.
- Adopting best practices in software development and infrastructure management.
It is important to remember that the security of your crypto assets and private keys is ultimately your responsibility. Wasteland DEX does not have access to your private keys and cannot recover them.
7. Third-Party Links
Our site may contain links to third-party websites or services that are not operated by us. We have no control over and assume no responsibility for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party sites or services. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
8. Children's Privacy
Our services are not intended for use by anyone under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any personal information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have inadvertently received personal data from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such information.
9. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on our site. You are advised to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
