Privacy Policy

CycleOnChain is an independent informational platform focused on market data, charts, and on-chain metrics.

This Privacy Policy explains what limited information we collect, how it is used, and how we help protect it.

By using the Service, you acknowledge this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect only what we need to operate the Service.

Public research launch. During the public research launch, CycleOnChain does not offer account creation, login, saved dashboards, subscriptions, member-only access, password reset, or personalized account features. Account-related systems may be introduced in a future update, and these policies will be updated before activation.

Browser storage. We may use limited browser storage for basic site functionality, such as remembering your theme preference and cookie consent choice.

Usage information. We may receive basic technical and usage information, such as IP address (which may be anonymized or truncated where possible), browser type, device type, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, and timestamps, through hosting, security, or analytics tools where applicable.

Cookies and similar technologies. See our Cookie Policy for details, including analytics that may be enabled with consent where required.

We do not knowingly collect information from individuals under the age of 16. If you believe a child has provided us with personal data, please contact us and we will delete it.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• operate, monitor, and improve the Service;
• detect, prevent, and respond to fraud, abuse, or technical issues;
• comply with legal obligations.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We do not use it for advertising or profiling beyond what is described in this policy.

3. Legal Basis for Processing (EEA/UK Users)

Where applicable under GDPR or UK GDPR, we process personal data to provide and secure the Service, comply with legal obligations, and improve platform functionality.

4. Service Providers

We may use service providers that help us operate, secure, host, deliver, or understand the Service. Depending on how the Service is configured, these may include:

• website hosting and content delivery providers;
• security, logging, and infrastructure providers;
• Google Analytics - aggregated usage analytics (enabled only with your consent, where required).

These providers process data on our behalf under their own security and privacy commitments.

These providers act as data processors and process data only on our instructions.

5. International Data Processing

Some technical data may be processed by our infrastructure, hosting, analytics, or security providers in different countries as part of operating the Service.

We only use third-party services that are widely used for website infrastructure, security, hosting, content delivery, and analytics where applicable.

6. Data Retention

Theme preferences and cookie consent choices may remain in your browser until you clear them or change your settings.

Analytics data, if enabled, may be retained according to the analytics provider's configuration and applicable consent requirements.

Limited technical logs may be retained temporarily to help maintain the security and stability of the Service.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• access the personal data we hold about you;
• correct inaccurate data;
• delete your data ("right to erasure");
• object to or restrict certain processing;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent;
• request portability of your data;
• lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.

You can contact us at hello@cycleonchain.com to exercise rights that may apply to you.

8. Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to help protect the Service and any data processed through it, including encryption in transit where applicable and access controls for operational systems. No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security and disclaim liability for unauthorized access beyond our reasonable control.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be communicated through the Service or by email. The "Effective Date" at the top of this policy will always reflect the latest version.
