Definitions

Plot, Digital Asset, Crypto Asset: A non-fungible token that represents a discrete unit of digital land within a virtual world. Users can upload and manage a "build" (a user generated voxel structure) associated with the Plot as well as other properties (such as a name, description, and link).

Personal Data: Information that identifies or can be linked to an individual. It excludes aggregated or anonymized data that cannot identify a specific person. References to "Personal Data" in this Privacy Policy include its definition under the Data Protection Act 2018.

Cookies: Small text files stored on your device by a website to remember your preferences, enhance functionality, and analyze usage.

Local Storage: A browser-based storage mechanism that retains data on your device to provide a faster and more personalized user experience.

Data We Collect

Trraform collects and stores information willingly provided by users aged 18 and older through data they upload to the Plots they own. This data may include the Plot's build, name, description, and link. Users are strictly advised to avoid uploading any personal, sensitive, or confidential information to their plots.

While Trraform provides a platform for creative expression and user-generated content, we do not monitor or verify the information uploaded to plots. Any personal or sensitive data that users choose to upload is done at their own risk. Trraform explicitly disclaims any liability for harm, loss, or damages arising from the unauthorized sharing, misuse, or exposure of such information. This includes, but is not limited to, financial loss, identity theft, or reputational damage resulting from a user's decision to upload sensitive information.

Trraform may utilize third-party cloud providers, such as Cloudflare, to host its web services. These providers may automatically collect certain data to ensure the functionality, security, and performance of the platform. This data may include, but is not limited to, your IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, date and time of your visit, general geographic location (based on your IP address), and other technical details. By using Trraform, you acknowledge that such data collection is governed by the respective privacy policies of these third-party providers.

Trraform permits users 13 and older to use our services with restrictions to features that require users to connect an Ethereum wallet. Users who submit user generated content to our platform must have a connected Ethereum wallet and therefore must be 18 years or older. We do not knowingly collect or process personal data from minors. Users are strictly advised not to upload content containing personal or sensitive information, including information related to minors.

By using Trraform, users acknowledge their sole responsibility for the content they submit and agree to comply with all applicable guidelines and policies. Trraform reserves the right to take appropriate actions, including removing content or restricting access, if it becomes aware of uploads that violate these terms or present potential risks to users or the platform.

Data Availability and Retention

All data submitted to Trraform is publicly accessible to anyone using our services. Therefore you should never submit sensitive information to our platform. User-uploaded data remains stored on the platform until it is modified or removed by the user or by Trraform. Trraform reserves the right to modify or remove any user-submitted data at its sole discretion, without prior notice or explanation.

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies and local storage to enhance your experience on our website. These cookies improve functionality by remembering your preferences, such as settings or wallet information (including the wallet provider you used in a previous visit), for seamless use across visits. All information is stored locally on your device and is not saved on our servers.

We do not merge or associate data collected through cookies with third-party data for targeted advertising, advertising analytics, or share any user or device-specific data with data brokers.

Cookies can be managed, blocked, or restricted through your web browser settings. Instructions for doing so can be found in your browser’s Help section. Since cookies are browser-specific, you’ll need to adjust your preferences for each browser or device you use.

For mobile devices, refer to your device’s instruction manual or help resources to manage cookie settings. Additional information about cookies and how to disable them can be found at allaboutcookies.org.

Please note that restricting or disabling cookies may impact the functionality of the Site, potentially limiting access to certain services or features. We are not responsible for any issues or degraded performance caused by your cookie preferences.

Crypto Wallet Connections

Accessing certain features of our services may require you to connect a 3rd party Ethereum wallet (such as MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, etc.) to our website. Please note that these wallets may collect and process data in accordance with their own Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. Each wallet provider has a different Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. We strongly encourage you to review their terms and privacy policies carefully before using their services and connecting your wallet to our website.

To ensure your privacy and security, we avoid directly storing any personal information to identify you. Instead, we rely on your crypto wallet to authenticate your interactions with our services. Authentication is conducted using cryptographic signatures generated by your wallet provider. Each time a signature is required, we will explicitly request your approval.

It is important to note that Trraform will NEVER access, request, or store your private key(s) under any circumstances. Your private keys are exclusively managed by your wallet provider, which provides a secure interface for generating cryptographic signatures and conducting blockchain transactions. At no point does Trraform have access to or control over your private keys. Your security is solely in the hands of your wallet provider, ensuring a safe and trusted interaction with our platform.

Blockchain Notice

Trraform utilizes the Ethereum blockchain to manage ownership of digital assets and facilitate transactions. All transactions conducted on the blockchain are publicly available, verifiable, and traceable. Public blockchains are distributed ledgers designed to immutably record transactions across a decentralized network of computers. These blockchains may be subject to forensic analysis, which could potentially re-identify transacting individuals and reveal personal data, particularly when combined with other information.

Since blockchains are decentralized or operated by third-party networks outside of our control, Trraform cannot erase, modify, or alter any data recorded on these networks.

Links to Third Party Websites

While using our services, you may encounter links to third-party websites, mobile applications, or online services. Many of these links are provided by other users of our platform. These links do not imply endorsement or affiliation with any third party. Additionally, our content may appear on web pages, mobile applications, or online services not operated or associated with us.

We do not control these third-party websites, applications, or services, nor are we responsible for their actions or policies. These third parties may have their own rules regarding the collection, use, and sharing of your Personal Data. We strongly encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party websites, applications, or services you access.

Overseas Data Disclosure

To provide our services, we may store, process, or transfer your data (see “Data We Collect” for specifics on what types of data is transferred) to servers located in other countries depending on the third-party providers we use (e.g., hosting and content delivery services) such as Cloudflare.

We ensure that any data transferred overseas is handled securely and in compliance with applicable data protection laws. Where required, we implement safeguards such as encryption, data anonymization, or contractual clauses to protect your information. Please note that blockchain transactions associated with our platform are decentralized and globally accessible, meaning the data recorded on the blockchain is not restricted to any specific jurisdiction.
