Privacy Policy
Effective date: September 1, 2025
Controller: VoidAI (“VoidAI,” “we,” “us,” or “our”)
Summary: This Privacy Policy explains how VoidAI collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information when you use our websites, apps, APIs, smart contracts, validators, bridges, and related services (collectively, the Services). Because parts of our Services run on public blockchains, some information is inherently public and may be immutable.
1) Scope & Who this applies to
Section titled “1) Scope & Who this applies to”This Policy applies to:
- Visitors to our websites and docs, account holders, developers, validators/miners, liquidity providers, and end‑users of apps integrated with our APIs/bridges.
- Services we operate on or off chain (including testnets), and communications we send (support, marketing, status pages).
- It does not cover third‑party services we don’t control (e.g., external wallets, exchanges, dApps, clouds). Review their policies separately.
2) Information we collect
Section titled “2) Information we collect”We collect information in three main ways: you provide it, we collect it automatically, and we obtain it from others or public sources (including blockchains).
A) Information you provide directly
Section titled “A) Information you provide directly”- Account, profile, and developer information (name/alias, email, organization, role, preferences).
- Support and communications (tickets, feedback, call/chat transcripts).
- KYC/Compliance information (if applicable and only where required): identity docs, residency, sanctions/PEP checks.
- Payment and billing details processed by our payment partners (e.g., Stripe); we store only limited metadata (e.g., transaction ID, last4, status) and not full card numbers.
- Content you submit to the Services (e.g., prompts, files, models, datasets, code, parameters) when using AI/compute features.
- Validator/miner onboarding information (hardware specs, attestations, staking addresses, payout preferences).
B) Information collected automatically
Section titled “B) Information collected automatically”- Device & usage (IP address, device/OS/browser, language, time zone, referral/UTM, pages viewed, clickstream).
- Service telemetry and logs (requests, API keys, rate limits, error codes, response times, resource consumption, validator performance).
- Cookies and similar technologies (see Section 7).
- Approximated location from IP for fraud prevention, localization, and compliance.
C) Information from public sources & partners
Section titled “C) Information from public sources & partners”- Blockchain data: wallet/public addresses, smart‑contract interactions, transaction hashes, token balances, events, and states on chains we support (e.g., Bittensor, Solana, Ethereum, Base).
- Partners and service providers (cloud/hosting, wallet providers, analytics, identity verification, AML screening, price oracles, RPC/indexers).
- Social, community, and marketing channels you connect with us on.
Note on on‑chain data: Public blockchain data is generally accessible by anyone and often cannot be altered or deleted. While we can’t edit public ledgers, we can minimize what we write to chain, avoid linking addresses to real‑world identities unless required, and honor your rights for off‑chain data (see Section 12).
3) How we use information
Section titled “3) How we use information”We use information to:
- Operate, provide, and secure the Services (including smart contracts, validators, APIs, and bridges).
- Process transactions, staking, bridging, liquidity provisioning, and rewards distributions.
- Prevent abuse and meet legal obligations (fraud, AML, sanctions screening, chargebacks, audits).
- Improve performance, reliability, and user experience; develop new features and documentation.
- Provide support and communicate about updates, outages, security, and changes.
- Personalize content and documentation; measure and improve marketing (where permitted).
- Comply with contractual and regulatory requirements.
Legal bases (EEA/UK)
Section titled “Legal bases (EEA/UK)”Where GDPR/UK GDPR applies, we rely on: (i) contract performance, (ii) legitimate interests (e.g., securing Services, improving features), (iii) consent (when required, e.g., certain cookies/marketing), and (iv) legal obligations (e.g., KYC/AML if applicable).
AI/model usage of your content
Section titled “AI/model usage of your content”- We do not use your private inputs/outputs to train our models without your permission.
- We may use anonymized/aggregated usage statistics to improve reliability and capacity planning.
- If you explicitly opt in to share data for research/model improvement, we will describe what is included and how to revoke consent.
4) Disclosures of information
Section titled “4) Disclosures of information”We share information with:
- Service providers/processors under contract (cloud hosting, DDoS protection, monitoring, analytics, customer support, KYC/AML, payments like Stripe, price oracles, RPCs/indexers, email/SMS).
- Ecosystem partners to fulfill the Service you request (e.g., wallet integrations, cross‑chain bridges, validators/miners processing jobs).
- Corporate transactions (merger, financing, acquisition, or dissolution), where data is transferred subject to this Policy.
- Legal reasons: to comply with law, respond to valid legal process, or protect rights, safety, and property.
- With your direction: if you link accounts, publish artifacts, or share API keys/addresses with third‑party tools.
We do not sell personal information for money. Where state laws define “sale” or “sharing” to include cross‑context behavioral advertising, we do not engage in such practices without providing required notices and opt‑out controls (see Section 11).
5) Data retention
Section titled “5) Data retention”- We keep personal data only as long as necessary for the purposes described here, including legal/accounting needs, dispute resolution, and security.
- Logs and telemetry are retained for limited periods and then deleted or anonymized.
- On‑chain records may be permanent; we cannot remove data written to public ledgers. Off‑chain references to such data can be minimized or pseudonymized.
6) Security
Section titled “6) Security”We employ administrative, technical, and physical safeguards appropriate to the risk, including encryption in transit, access controls, key management, network segmentation, and routine audits. No system is 100% secure; report issues to security@voidai.com. If we determine that a breach affects you, we will notify you as required by law.
7) Cookies & similar technologies
Section titled “7) Cookies & similar technologies”We use first‑party cookies and similar technologies to enable core functionality (e.g., session management, CSRF protection) and to measure basic usage/performance. Where required, we obtain consent and provide controls to manage preferences. You can adjust browser settings to refuse cookies, but some features may not work properly.
8) Children’s privacy
Section titled “8) Children’s privacy”Our Services are not directed to children under 13 (or the relevant age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us to request deletion.
9) International data transfers
Section titled “9) International data transfers”We may process and store information in countries other than where you live. When transferring personal data from the EEA/UK/Switzerland to countries lacking adequacy decisions, we rely on appropriate safeguards such as the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) and UK Addendum, plus additional protections as needed.
