checkpoint.exchange, app.checkpoint.exchange, docs.checkpoint.exchange, or any other Checkpoint interface (collectively, the “Interface”) in accordance with this Privacy Policy, we do not have information about all protocol users beyond what is already publicly available and recorded on the blockchain. Because public blockchain networks are generally immutable, information written on-chain is typically not under Checkpoint’s unilateral control to alter or remove, although protocol smart contracts and oracle mechanisms may reflect updated information over time.
This Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”) explains how Checkpoint (“we,” “our,” or “us”) collects, uses, and shares information in connection with our Services as well as your rights and choices regarding such information. These terms apply to checkpoint.exchange, the Interface, and any other online location that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”).
By using the Services, you also agree to our collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with the Terms of Use, you should not use or access the Interface or the Services.
This Privacy Policy may be modified from time to time. Your use of the Site is at all times subject to the Terms of Use, which incorporates this Privacy Policy.
1. Information Collection
We may collect your name, contact information, and message content when you communicate with us, such as providing feedback or asking for support. If you voluntarily share additional information with us, you are solely responsible for it. We may collect the wallet address you use to connect to the Interface in order to block wallets and for security purposes. Additionally, we may collect details about the device you use to access the Site and Interface to optimize and troubleshoot any technical issues. Moreover, we may collect details on how you interact with the Interface and Services. Analyzing this data helps us improve the user experience. When you create or interact with offers, trades, escrow contracts, collateral deposits, escrow tokens, settlement contracts, oracle claims, or other protocol actions through the Interface, the associated transaction details (including involved addresses, market identifiers, offer identifiers, token or point amounts, collateral amounts, prices, fees, timestamps, settlement status, claim status, and other on-chain parameters) are recorded on public blockchain networks and may be publicly viewable and linkable to your wallet address. We may also collect, generate, index, display, or process related off-chain metadata where needed to operate, secure, troubleshoot, analyze, or improve exchange, escrow, settlement, oracle, and market features. The Services may also allow you to collect, view, accrue, claim, or otherwise interact with Checkpoint-created points, scores, badges, campaign records, or similar non-transferable metrics (“Checkpoint Points”). In connection with Checkpoint Points, we may collect, generate, receive, or display information such as wallet addresses, connected social or account identifiers you choose to provide, campaign participation, referral or invite data, eligibility criteria, point calculations, timestamps, endpoint responses, API requests, device or session information, and related anti-fraud, abuse-prevention, analytics, and support records. Some Checkpoint Points information may be publicly displayed through leaderboards, profiles, campaign pages, APIs, endpoints, or other Service features, and may be linkable to your wallet address or other identifiers you provide. For clarity, Checkpoint Points records are data records only. They do not represent cash, monetary value, property, digital assets, tokens, stored value, rewards currency, or any right to redemption, exchange, conversion, allocation, distribution, payment, or other benefit. Any future treatment, recognition, or use of Checkpoint Points, if any, is subject to the Terms of Use and may be determined, changed, suspended, or declined by Checkpoint, the Protocol, any DAO, any governance process, or any current or future team or contributor. If you choose to connect accounts, submit identifiers, use referral links, participate in campaigns, or interact with public or semi-public features, you understand that related information may be visible to other users or third parties depending on the feature. Please do not submit information that you do not want associated with your wallet address, profile, campaign activity, or public Service activity. If you use enhanced, paid, invite-only, promotional, or limited-access features such as Checkpoint Pro, Checkpoint Premium, or similar plans, we may collect and process information needed to provide and manage those features. This may include subscription or plan status, eligibility, usage limits, tracked wallet addresses, wallet lists, labels, preferences, alerts, historical data queries, exports, support requests, billing-related metadata, payment status, renewal or cancellation status, and fraud-prevention or abuse-prevention records. Payments may be processed by third-party payment providers, and we may receive limited payment or billing metadata from them; unless expressly stated otherwise, we do not collect or store full payment card details ourselves.2.
