🔒 Privacy Policy

Privacy Summary

Bull or Bear is a decentralized application (dApp). We don't collect, store, or control your personal data. However, all your activity is permanently recorded on the public Solana blockchain.

1. Decentralized Platform Notice

What Makes This Different

Bull or Bear operates as autonomous smart contracts on the Solana blockchain. Unlike traditional websites or apps:

  • No central database storing your information
  • No user accounts or registration required
  • No servers under our control collecting data
  • No ability to delete or modify your blockchain activity
  • Multiple interfaces may exist to access the same smart contracts

What This Means for Privacy

  • Your privacy is protected differently than traditional platforms
  • Blockchain transparency means some information is permanently public
  • No central entity can access or misuse your personal data
  • No central entity can protect your privacy either

2. Information Collection

🚫 What We DON'T Collect

  • No personal information: Name, email, phone, address
  • No identity verification: No KYC/AML requirements
  • No account creation: No usernames or passwords
  • No financial information: No bank accounts or credit cards
  • No location data: We don't track your physical location

🔍 What We DO Collect

Game Analytics Server:

We operate a server that aggregates gameplay data from the blockchain:

  • Wallet addresses (your public blockchain identifier)
  • Game history: All your bets, wins, and losses
  • Performance statistics: Win rate, profit/loss, streak data
  • Gameplay patterns: Betting frequency and timing
  • Total volume: Amount wagered over time

📊 What's Automatically Public on Blockchain

Every interaction with our smart contracts creates permanent, public records:

  • Your wallet address (your blockchain identity)
  • All bet amounts and timing
  • All wins and losses
  • All transaction hashes
  • Exact timestamps of all activity

3. How We Use Your Data

📊 Game Analytics Server

We use the aggregated gameplay data to:

  • Display leaderboards and player statistics
  • Calculate achievement rewards (streaks, milestones)
  • Provide game history in the user interface
  • Analyze game balance and adjust mechanics
  • Detect unusual patterns that might indicate bugs or exploitation
  • Generate platform statistics for transparency

🎯 What We DON'T Do With Your Data

  • No identity linking: We don't try to connect wallet addresses to real people
  • No data selling: We don't sell gameplay data to third parties
  • No marketing: We don't use data for targeted advertising
  • No profiling: We don't create personality or behavioral profiles

4. Data Storage and Security

🗄️ Our Game Analytics Server

  • Secure hosting: Industry-standard server security practices
  • Data encryption: All data encrypted at rest and in transit
  • Limited access: Only authorized team members can access aggregated data
  • No personal linking: We don't attempt to connect wallet addresses to real identities
  • Regular backups: Data backed up for service continuity

5. Blockchain Transparency

🌐 Public Blockchain Data

The Solana blockchain is completely transparent:

  • Anyone can view all transactions
  • Blockchain explorers show all activity (Solscan, SolanaFM)
  • Analytics tools can track wallet behavior
  • Data is permanent and cannot be deleted

🎭 Pseudonymous, Not Anonymous

  • You're identified by your wallet address (like "7xK2...9mP1")
  • No direct link to your real identity
  • But sophisticated analysis might connect your wallet to you
  • Multiple transactions can reveal behavioral patterns

6. Third-Party Services

🔗 Oracle Data Providers

  • Pyth Network provides price data (no personal data involved)
  • Oracle providers don't receive information about individual users
  • Price feeds are public data used across many platforms

💳 Wallet Providers

When you connect your wallet (Phantom, Solflare, etc.):

  • Wallet providers have their own privacy policies
  • We don't control what data they collect
  • Review their policies independently
  • We only see your wallet's public address

7. Privacy Protection Recommendations

🛡️ How to Maximize Your Privacy

Wallet Management

Final Privacy Warning

This privacy policy reflects the unique characteristics of decentralized applications. Traditional privacy concepts don't always apply to blockchain-based platforms.
