Last Updated: April 5, 2025

1. Introduction

At Immutable Ratings ("we," "our," or "the Service"), we are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collected through our blockchain-based rating platform.

Immutable Ratings is designed with privacy as a core principle. We minimize data collection and leverage blockchain technology to provide a decentralized rating service.

2. Information We Do Not Collect

Unlike traditional web services, Immutable Ratings does not:

  • Require user registration with Personal Identifiable Information (PII)
  • Collect personal information (such as name, email address, phone number)
  • Collect device information or IP addresses
  • Track user behavior on our platform
  • Sell or share user data with third parties
  • Use personal data for advertising
  • Maintain a centralized database of PII user information

3. Information Visible on the Blockchain

By using our Service, you should be aware of the following public information:

3.1 Wallet Address: Your Ethereum wallet address is visible on the blockchain when you interact with our smart contracts.

3.2 Transaction Data: All transactions, including ratings submissions, are recorded on the Ethereum blockchain. This includes:

  • The URL you rated
  • Your rating choice (Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down)
  • The amount of ETH spent
  • Transaction timestamp

3.3 Public Nature of Blockchain: All blockchain data is public, immutable, and visible to anyone with access to the Ethereum blockchain. This information cannot be deleted or modified once submitted.

4. How We Use Information

We use blockchain transaction data solely to:

4.1 Display ratings on the platform interface

4.2 Calculate statistics and aggregate rating information

4.3 Identify potentially abusive behavior (such as spamming or rating illegal content)

5. Information Security

5.1 Blockchain Security: Information stored on the Ethereum blockchain is secured through cryptographic methods inherent to blockchain technology.

5.2 Platform Security: We implement reasonable security measures to protect the platform interface against unauthorized access or attacks.

5.3 Wallet Connection: When connecting your cryptocurrency wallet to our platform, the connection is made directly between your wallet provider and our smart contracts. We do not store or have access to your private keys or wallet credentials.

6. User Control

You have control over your interactions with our Service:

6.1 Voluntary Use: All interactions with the Service are voluntary.

6.2 Wallet Disconnection: You can disconnect your wallet from our platform at any time.

6.3 Transaction Control: You control which URLs you rate and when you submit transactions.

7. Legal Bases for Processing (If Applicable)

If you are in a jurisdiction where specific legal bases are required for data processing (such as the European Economic Area under GDPR), our legal bases are:

7.1 Performance of Contract: Processing necessary to provide you with the Service as requested.

7.2 Legitimate Interests: Processing blockchain transaction data for the legitimate interests of maintaining platform integrity and detecting abuse.

7.3 Consent: Your consent is implied through your voluntary use of the Service and connection of your wallet.

8. Children's Privacy

The Service is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly interact with or collect information from children.

9. International Data Transfers

Due to the decentralized nature of blockchain technology, transaction data exists globally across the distributed Ethereum network. By using our Service, you consent to this global distribution of your blockchain transaction data.
