This Privacy Policy outlines how Blur Bit (“we,” “our,” or “the Platform”) collects, uses, and protects the information you provide when accessing or using our services. By using the Platform, you consent to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy. Please read carefully before using the Platform.
1. Introduction
At Blur Bit, we respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. As a decentralized platform, we prioritize your control over your digital assets and personal data. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle any data we do collect and clarifies our non-custodial, decentralized model, which limits our involvement in processing or storing your personal information.
We do not collect sensitive personal information unless necessary to facilitate payments.
2. Information We Do NOT Collect
Since Blur Bit is a non-custodial platform, we do not store, manage, or control your cryptocurrencies, nor do we collect sensitive personal information. Specifically:
- Personal Identification Information (PII): We do not request or store your full name, address, government ID, date of birth, or any other personally identifiable data.
- Crypto Wallet Information: We do not store or have access to your private keys or the contents of your wallet. All transactions are processed directly to your decentralized wallet.
- Financial Data: We do not store your credit card information or bank details. Payment information is processed securely via third-party services (e.g., credit card processors, eTransfer services).
3. Data We Collect (If Applicable)
While we do not collect personal identifying information or financial data, Blur Bit may collect limited data related to your use of the platform, which may include:
- Transactional Data: Information related to the amount and type of cryptocurrency purchased, the time of purchase, and the method of payment (credit card or eTransfer).
- Non-Personal Information: Metadata such as IP addresses, browser types, and device information for the purpose of improving the Platform’s functionality, security, and user experience.
- Cookies: We may use cookies to track activity on the site and improve user experience. Cookies do not store personal information and can be disabled by you at any time through your browser settings.
4. Why We Collect Data
We collect the limited data mentioned above to:
- Facilitate Transactions: To ensure smooth, timely processing of crypto purchases, we need to collect certain transaction-related data.
- Enhance Security: Collecting non-personal information (e.g., IP addresses, browser data) helps improve the security of the platform and protect against fraud or malicious activity.
- Improve Services: We analyze non-personal data to enhance the user experience, improve platform performance, and tailor our services to meet your needs.
5. How We Use Your Data
We do not use your data for any purposes other than those described here. Specifically:
- Transaction Processing: We process transactions between you and third-party payment processors, ensuring that your funds are transferred securely to your decentralized wallet.
- Security and Fraud Prevention: We may use certain data (such as IP addresses) to detect and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized transactions.
- Service Improvement: We use non-personal information to analyze trends, diagnose technical issues, and optimize the platform for better user experience.
6. Data Security
While Blur Bit prioritizes privacy and security, please note that cryptocurrency transactions and data processing are subject to risks inherent in any online platform.
We take appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your data, including:
- Encryption: All transactions are encrypted to ensure confidentiality.
- Secure Payment Gateways: Credit card and eTransfer data is processed via trusted third-party services that comply with industry-standard security protocols (e.g., PCI-DSS compliance for payment processing).
- Decentralized Model: As a decentralized platform, Blur Bit does not hold or have access to your cryptocurrency or personal wallet information, which further reduces the risk of data breaches or unauthorized access.
7. Third-Party Services
Blur Bit uses third-party services for payment processing and other operational needs. These third-party services may collect and store your data in accordance with their own privacy policies.
Payment Processors: When using payment methods such as credit card or eTransfer, your data is handled by the third-party service provider responsible for processing the transaction. Blur Bit does not store or process this sensitive financial data.
Wallet Providers: Blur Bit utilizes decentralized wallet protocols, such as Trust Wallet, for transferring purchased crypto to your wallet. These third-party wallet services may have their own privacy policies regarding data handling.
We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party services you interact with to understand their data handling practices.
8. Sharing of Information
Blur Bit will never share your personal data with any third parties, except in the following limited cases:
- Legal Compliance: If required by law, we may disclose your data in response to legal processes, such as a subpoena or court order. However, this will be limited to only the data that is legally required.
- Fraud and Security: We may disclose data to authorities or third parties in cases of fraud detection, cybersecurity threats, or where it is necessary to protect the rights, safety, and security of our users or the Platform.
9. Your Rights and Control Over Data
As a Canadian user, you have specific rights under Canadian privacy laws, including the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA). These rights include:
- Access and Correction: You may request access to any data we have collected (if applicable), and you can ask for corrections to be made to any inaccurate data.
- Withdrawal of Consent: Since we collect minimal data, the withdrawal of consent primarily pertains to how we process non-personal information like cookies. You can choose to disable cookies through your browser settings.
- Request Deletion: You can request that we delete any data we hold about you, subject to applicable legal and operational limitations.
Please contact us via the contact information below to exercise these rights.
10. Limitations of Liability and Hold Harmless
Blur Bit is a decentralized platform that does not collect, store, or control cryptocurrencies. Therefore, we cannot be held responsible for any losses, damages, or legal consequences arising from your use of cryptocurrencies or your failure to ensure legal compliance when purchasing or using crypto assets.
By using Blur Bit, you agree to hold Blur Bit, its officers, directors, employees, contractors, and affiliates harmless from any liability, claims, damages, or expenses arising from:
- Any illegal or unauthorized use of the Platform or cryptocurrencies purchased via the Platform.
- Any dispute or claim resulting from your use of third-party wallet services or payment processors.
- Any loss of funds, security breaches, or unauthorized access to your decentralized wallet or transaction data.
11. Changes to This Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised Privacy Policy on our website. We encourage you to review this document periodically for any updates.
