Privacy Policy

Last Updated: December 29, 2024

Privacy by Design

Obelisk DEX is built with privacy as a core principle. As a decentralized, non-custodial platform, we minimize data collection and never have access to your private keys or funds.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Information You Provide

We collect minimal information directly from you:

Wallet Address: Your public blockchain address when you connect your wallet (this is public on the blockchain)
Preferences: UI settings like theme, language, and display preferences (stored locally)

1.2 Information Collected Automatically

Data Type	Purpose	Storage
IP Address	Security & rate limiting	Not stored
Browser Type	Compatibility	Not stored
Transaction Data	Display history	Local storage only
Usage Analytics	Improve service	Anonymized

1.3 What We Do NOT Collect

Private keys or seed phrases
Personal identification documents
Email addresses or phone numbers
Social security numbers or government IDs
Bank account information

2. How We Use Information

The limited information we collect is used to:

Provide and maintain the Platform
Display your transaction history (from blockchain)
Improve user experience and fix bugs
Prevent fraud and abuse
Comply with legal obligations

3. Blockchain Transparency

Please understand that blockchain transactions are:

Public: All transactions are visible on the blockchain
Permanent: Transactions cannot be deleted or modified
Traceable: Wallet addresses can potentially be linked to identities

We do not control or have access to blockchain data beyond what is publicly available.

4. Local Storage

We use your browser's local storage to save:

Theme and language preferences
Recently used tokens
Slippage settings
Connected wallet information (public address only)

You can clear this data at any time through your browser settings.

5. Third-Party Services

Our Platform interacts with third-party services:

DEX Aggregators: 1inch, 0x Protocol (for swap quotes)
Price Oracles: CoinGecko, Chainlink (for price data)
RPC Providers: Public RPC endpoints (for blockchain interaction)
Wallet Providers: MetaMask, WalletConnect (for wallet connection)

These services have their own privacy policies. We recommend reviewing them.

6. Cookies

We use minimal cookies:

Essential Cookies: Required for the Platform to function
Preference Cookies: Remember your settings

We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

7. Data Security

We implement security measures including:

HTTPS encryption for all connections
Content Security Policy (CSP) headers
Regular security audits
No server-side storage of sensitive data

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

Access your data
Delete your local data (via browser settings)
Opt-out of analytics
Data portability

Since we collect minimal data and it's stored locally, you have direct control over most of your information.

9. Children's Privacy

The Platform is not intended for users under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from minors.

10. International Users

The Platform is accessible globally. By using the Platform, you consent to the processing of any data you provide in accordance with this Privacy Policy.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
