1. Introduction

DarkSight ("we", "us", or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website at darksight.fun, use our software development kit (SDK), interact with our smart contracts, access our documentation, or otherwise use our services (collectively, the "Services").

Please read this Privacy Policy carefully. By using the Services, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy. If you do not agree with our policies and practices, do not use the Services.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide to us, including:

• Contact information, such as email addresses, if you contact us or subscribe to updates
• Communications and correspondence you send to us
• Feedback, comments, or other information you provide through our Services
• Information you provide when participating in community discussions, forums, or social media channels

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you access our website or use our Services, we may automatically collect certain information, including:

• Log Data: Information such as your IP address, browser type, browser version, pages visited, time and date of visit, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data
• Device Information: Information about your device, including device type, operating system, unique device identifiers, and mobile network information
• Usage Data: Information about how you interact with our Services, including features used, actions taken, and preferences
• Cookies and Tracking Technologies: We may use cookies, web beacons, and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information

2.3 Blockchain Information

Important: When you interact with the DarkSight Protocol on the Solana blockchain, certain information becomes publicly available on the blockchain, including:

• Public wallet addresses
• Transaction hashes and timestamps
• Smart contract interactions
• Zero-knowledge proof verification results (which do not reveal private information)

The Protocol is designed to preserve privacy of your trading positions and strategies through cryptographic techniques. However, blockchain data is inherently public and permanent. We cannot control or remove information once it has been recorded on the blockchain.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for various purposes, including:

• To provide, maintain, and improve our Services
• To respond to your inquiries, comments, or questions
• To send you technical notices, updates, security alerts, and support messages
• To monitor and analyze usage patterns and trends to improve user experience
• To detect, prevent, and address technical issues, security threats, or fraudulent activity
• To comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
• To communicate with you about our Services, including marketing communications (you may opt out at any time)
• To conduct research and analysis to improve our Protocol and Services

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

4.1 Service Providers

We may share information with third-party service providers who perform services on our behalf, such as:

• Hosting and cloud computing services
• Analytics and data processing services
• Email and communication services
• Payment processing services (if applicable)

These service providers are contractually obligated to protect your information and use it only for the purposes for which it was disclosed.

4.2 Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities, including:

• To comply with legal processes, such as subpoenas, court orders, or warrants
• To respond to government or regulatory requests
• To protect our rights, privacy, safety, or property, or that of our users or others
• To enforce our Terms of Service or other agreements
• To investigate potential violations or fraud

4.3 Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, reorganization, bankruptcy, or other sale of all or a portion of our assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will notify you of any such change in ownership or control of your information.

4.4 With Your Consent

We may share your information with third parties when you explicitly consent to such sharing.

5. Privacy of Protocol Transactions

The DarkSight Protocol is designed to preserve privacy of your trading positions and strategies. The Protocol uses zero-knowledge proofs and cryptographic techniques to enable private trading while maintaining public price discovery.

However, it is important to understand that:

• Blockchain transactions are inherently public and permanent
• While your positions and trading strategies are protected by cryptography, your wallet address and transaction metadata may be visible on the blockchain
• Sophisticated analysis techniques may potentially be used to infer information about transactions
• The Protocol is in pre-alpha development and privacy guarantees have not been formally verified or audited
• You should not assume complete anonymity when using the Protocol

We recommend that you take additional precautions to protect your privacy, such as using multiple wallets, avoiding linking your identity to wallet addresses, and understanding the privacy implications of blockchain technology.

6. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to track activity on our website and store certain information. Cookies are small data files stored on your device.

Types of cookies we may use:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the website to function properly
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how visitors interact with our website
• Functional Cookies: Remember your preferences and settings

You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Services.

7. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is 100% secure.

We cannot guarantee absolute security. You are responsible for:

• Maintaining the security of your wallet private keys and credentials
• Using secure networks and devices when accessing our Services
• Keeping your software and devices updated with the latest security patches
• Not sharing your private keys or credentials with anyone

8. Data Retention

We retain your information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law.

When we no longer need your information, we will delete or anonymize it, except where we are required to retain it for legal, regulatory, or legitimate business purposes.

Note: Information stored on the blockchain cannot be deleted or modified due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology.

• Deletion: Request deletion of your personal information

Our Services are not intended for individuals under the age of 18 (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a child without verification of parental consent, we will take steps to delete that information.

We will take appropriate safeguards to ensure that your information receives an adequate level of protection in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
