Data We Collect
Privacy is a core principle of Parinum. We aim to minimize data collection wherever necessary.
1. Public Blockchain Data
When you interact with the Services using a non-custodial blockchain wallet, we may collect and process publicly available blockchain information, including:
- Wallet addresses
- Transaction hashes
- Smart-contract interactions
This data is publicly available by design and is not personally identifying on its own.
We may screen wallet addresses using third-party blockchain analytics providers to help detect and prevent fraudulent or illicit activity, comply with legal obligations, and protect the integrity of the protocol.
2. Technical and Usage Data
We and our service providers may collect limited, non-identifying technical information, including:
- Browser type and version
- Device type and operating system
- General usage metrics and interaction data
This information is used in aggregate to:
- Maintain functionality of the Services
- Improve usability and performance
- Diagnose bugs and technical issues
We do not attempt to identify individual users through this data.
3. Information You Voluntarily Provide
You may choose to provide information directly to us, including:
- Email address (e.g., for updates or announcements)
- Communications sent via email, social platforms, or support channels
- Survey or feedback responses
We will not attempt to link this information to your wallet address, transaction history, or blockchain identity.
4. Employment and Business Inquiries
If you apply for a role or engage with Parinum in a professional capacity, we may collect information you submit, such as:
- Name

How We Share Data
We may share limited data only in the following circumstances:

The Services may contain links to third-party websites or services not operated by Parinum. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of those third parties. Please review their policies independently.
Security
We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards to protect data. However, no system is completely secure.
You are responsible for safeguarding your wallet, private keys, and blockchain credentials. Parinum cannot recover lost keys or reverse blockchain transactions.
