Privacy Policy
Last Updated: October 25, 2025
At BlockForge, your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, store, and protect your personal information when you access or use our website, platform, and related services (collectively, the "Services").
By using BlockForge, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of our Services.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of information to provide and improve our Services:
1.1. Information You Provide
- Account Information: When you create an account, we may collect your name, email address, username, and password.
- Contact Information: If you contact us or subscribe to updates, we collect your email address and any other details you provide.
- Transaction Data: When you use our blockchain tools or interact with smart contracts, we may collect wallet addresses and transaction metadata (but not private keys).
1.2. Automatically Collected Information
- Usage Data: We collect information about your interactions with our Services, such as IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, and time spent.
- Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We use cookies and similar technologies to personalize content, analyze usage, and improve performance. You can control cookies through your browser settings.
1.3. Blockchain Data
Due to the public and immutable nature of blockchains, any transactions or interactions you make on-chain may be permanently recorded and publicly accessible. BlockForge does not control or delete data stored on decentralized networks.
2. How We Use Your Information
We use your information to:
- Operate, maintain, and improve our Services
- Facilitate blockchain transactions and account functionality
- Communicate updates, announcements, and support responses
- Analyze usage patterns to enhance security and user experience
- Comply with legal obligations and prevent fraudulent activity
3. How We Share Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal data. We may share information in the following cases:
- With Service Providers: Trusted third parties who assist us in operations (hosting, analytics, email delivery, etc.), bound by confidentiality agreements.
- For Legal Compliance: When required by law, regulation, or valid legal process.
- For Business Transfers: In case of a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, your data may be transferred as part of the transaction.
- Public Blockchain Networks: Any transaction you perform on-chain is visible to the public and cannot be altered or deleted.
4. Data Security
We use appropriate administrative, technical, and physical measures to protect your data from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or disclosure.
However, please note that no system is completely secure, and blockchain transactions are inherently public and irreversible.
5. Your Rights and Choices
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:
- Access, correct, or delete your personal information
- Withdraw consent for data processing
- Opt out of marketing communications
- Manage cookie preferences through your browser settings
To exercise these rights, please contact us at privacy@blockforge.io.
6. International Data Transfers
Your information may be stored and processed on servers located in different countries. By using our Services, you consent to such transfers, which may have different data protection standards.
7. Data Retention
We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required by law.
Blockchain-related data recorded on public ledgers cannot be deleted or modified, as it is beyond BlockForge's control.
8. Third-Party Links
Our Services may contain links to third-party websites or decentralized applications. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those entities. Please review their privacy policies separately.
9. Children's Privacy
BlockForge is not directed toward individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If we learn that we have inadvertently collected such data, we will take steps to delete it.
10. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. The "Last Updated" date at the top reflects the latest revision. Continued use of our Services constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
