This Privacy Policy explains how Akuno ("Akuno", "we", "us") collects, uses, and protects your personal data when you use our platform. By creating an account or using the platform, you agree to this policy.
1. Information we collect
- Account: email and password when registering.
- Transactions: blockchain TXIDs for USDT transfers and related metadata (for example amounts and timestamps).
- Usage data: IP address, device/browser information, approximate location (via IP), and pages visited.
- Support: messages or attachments you send to us.
2. How we use your information
We use your data to:
- Create and secure your account.
- Enforce eligibility requirements and protect the platform from abuse.
- Enable contributions, Circle tracking, and winner notifications.
- Provide customer support and important service updates.
- Detect fraud and improve performance, reliability, and user experience.
We do not sell your personal data.
3. Blockchain transparency
Akuno uses blockchain transaction identifiers (TXIDs) to verify participation and outcomes. Blockchain data is public by design. TXIDs do not directly display your name, email, or password, but a wallet address can be linked to an identity if you share it publicly elsewhere. We recommend good privacy hygiene when using self-custody wallets.
6. Data security
We use appropriate security measures such as encryption, access controls, and monitoring. No system is 100% secure. You are responsible for protecting your password, email access, and devices.
7. Data retention
We retain your data while your account is active and as needed for legitimate business purposes and legal obligations. You can request deletion of your account data where applicable, but blockchain data (TXIDs and public wallet activity) cannot be altered or removed.
8. Your rights
You may request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data. You may also object to certain processing where permitted by law. Contact us to exercise your rights.
9. International users
Data may be stored or processed in locations outside your country. By using Akuno, you understand that international transfers may occur where necessary to provide the service.
10. Children's privacy
Akuno is not intended for anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect children's personal data. If you believe we have, contact us and we will take appropriate steps.
11. Updates to this policy
We may revise this policy. If material changes occur, we may notify you by email or in-app. Continued use of the platform indicates acceptance of the updated policy.
