3. Cookies and Data Analytics

IEPTAR Labs may use cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies for analytics and session tracking. These tools help us understand how users interact with our platform and how to improve usability.

You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, but doing so may limit certain platform functionalities.

4. Data Controller Responsibility

IEPTAR Labs, headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, acts as the data controller for off-chain personal information. For blockchain data, the user is the sole controller, as such data is publicly verifiable and beyond our modification control.

5. Data Anonymization & Aggregation

IEPTAR Labs may aggregate or anonymize non-identifiable data for statistical, analytical, or research purposes. This data cannot be used to identify individual users and may be shared with partners or the public to improve transparency and protocol performance.

6. Third-Party Services & Integrations

IEPTAR may integrate with external SDKs, APIs, and partners for wallet connections, analytics, or blockchain interoperability. Examples include WalletConnect, MetaMask, Google Analytics, and Cloudflare. These services operate independently and may have their own privacy policies.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies of any third-party wallet or service before using them through the IEPTAR Platform.

7. Communication Policy

If you contact IEPTAR Labs or subscribe to communications, we may use your provided contact details to:

• Respond to inquiries or technical support requests.
• Send administrative notices, updates, or policy changes.
• Distribute newsletters or research updates (only with your consent).

You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time by following unsubscribe links or contacting us directly at support@ieptar.com.

8. Security and Breach Notification

IEPTAR Labs employs encryption, access control, and continuous monitoring to protect your information. In the event of a data breach involving personally identifiable information, affected users will be notified within a reasonable timeframe in accordance with applicable laws.

Please note that we cannot alter or delete any data already recorded on public blockchains.

9. Compliance with Global Privacy Regulations

IEPTAR Labs complies with applicable international data protection frameworks, including:

• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation – EU): Users within the European Economic Area have the right to access, rectify, delete, or restrict the processing of their personal data.
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act): California residents can request disclosure or deletion of personal data collected by IEPTAR Labs.
• Data Portability: You may request a copy of your personal data stored by IEPTAR Labs in a structured and machine-readable format.

10. Limitation of Liability for On-Chain Data

Blockchain networks are public and immutable by design. IEPTAR Labs does not control or manage the deletion, modification, or confidentiality of data stored on any blockchain. Users are solely responsible for the information they choose to broadcast through decentralized networks.

11. Data Retention

IEPTAR Labs retains minimal off-chain personal information only as long as required for the purposes outlined in this policy or as mandated by law. Blockchain transactions are permanent and cannot be erased.

12. Community & Governance

Participation in governance or community activities may involve publishing wallet addresses, proposals, or votes on public forums or smart contracts. These activities are inherently transparent and voluntary. IEPTAR Labs is not responsible for information users choose to make public.

13. International Transfers

IEPTAR Labs may process and store information in countries other than your own. By using our platform, you consent to such transfers, which are handled securely and in compliance with applicable data protection regulations.
