How we collect, use, and share information in connection with the Altana Network website, the Explorer, our documentation, and our SDKs — and the rights and choices you have over it.
In short
Altana Network is an open, permissionless protocol. Although we may collect and process information about visitors to our website and users of our interfaces as described below, we do not have information about protocol users beyond what is already publicly recorded on the blockchain.
This Privacy Policy explains how Serendipity Global Inc., a Delaware corporation, doing business as Altana Network (“Altana,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), collects, uses, and shares information in connection with the Altana Network website at altana.network, the Altana Explorer, our documentation, our software development kits and packages, and any other interface or service that links to this Privacy Policy (collectively, the “Services”). It also describes your rights and choices regarding that information.
By using the Services, you agree to the collection, use, and sharing of information as described in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you should not use the Services.
If you are an entity providing us with personal data about individuals connected to you, this Privacy Policy is relevant to those individuals, and you should transmit it to them or otherwise make them aware of its contents.
You may choose to provide other information we have not requested. Where you do, you are solely responsible for that information.
Transactions on public blockchains — including session key registrations, permission grants, and transactions executed by agents under those permissions — are recorded publicly and permanently by the relevant network. This information is not collected by us; it is inherently public and accessible to anyone. We cannot modify or delete information recorded on a blockchain.
We do not make decisions producing legal effects concerning you, or that otherwise significantly affect you, based solely on automated processing of your personal data.
We use information for legitimate business purposes, including where necessary for the performance of a contract, for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations, on the basis of your consent, or in pursuit of our legitimate interests or those of a third party. Our purposes include:
We may use information that does not identify you, including aggregated or de-identified information, for any purpose not prohibited by applicable law.
The Services may link to or integrate technologies operated by other parties, including third-party websites, wallet providers, blockchain networks, block explorers, and code repositories.
When you interact with these parties — including when you leave our website — they may independently collect information about you and solicit information from you. Information collected by them is governed by their own privacy policies and practices, not by this Privacy Policy. We encourage you to review those policies.
In particular, by using a third-party self-custodial wallet to interact with public blockchains, your relationship with that wallet provider is governed by that provider's terms of service and privacy policy.
We implement and maintain reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards designed to protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee the security of information about you.
You remain solely responsible for the security of your private keys, session keys, wallet, and any credentials or infrastructure used to operate agents. We do not have access to your private keys and cannot recover them.
We retain information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, as described in this Privacy Policy, and as permitted or required by applicable law. Where you request deletion of your information, we may continue to retain and use it as permitted or required under applicable law, for legal, tax, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes.
We expect to delete personal data once there is no longer a legal or regulatory requirement or legitimate business purpose for retaining it.
We cannot delete or modify information recorded on a public blockchain.
We are incorporated in the United States and our service providers, including our analytics and hosting providers, are located in the United States and other jurisdictions. Information collected through the Services may therefore be transferred to, processed, stored, and used in the United States, the European Economic Area, and other jurisdictions.
Data protection laws in these jurisdictions may differ from those in your country of residence. Where we transfer personal data from the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a jurisdiction that has not been determined to provide an adequate level of protection, we rely on appropriate safeguards, such as the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, or on another lawful transfer mechanism.
By using the Services or providing information to us, you acknowledge these transfers.
The General Data Protection Regulation distinguishes between organizations that process personal data for their own purposes (“controllers”) and those that process it on behalf of others (“processors”). We act as a controller with respect to personal data collected through your interaction with the Services.
