Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Oeconomia DAO ("we," "our," or "the DAO") is committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices. As a decentralized autonomous organization, we minimize data collection and operate with privacy-by-design principles.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you interact with our decentralized application (dApp), participate in governance, or use our DeFi services.

2. Information We Access and Process

2.1 Blockchain Data We Read (Not Stored)

When you use our dApp, we read the following directly from the blockchain:

• Wallet addresses (public keys)
• Transaction history and status
• Token balances and portfolio data
• Staking positions and rewards
• Voting history and governance participation
• Smart contract interactions

2.2 Minimal Data We May Store

We operate on a minimal-storage principle. The only data we may temporarily store includes:

• Governance Voting: Wallet addresses may be cached during active voting periods solely for vote tallying purposes
• Session Data: Temporary connection data while your wallet is connected to the dApp (cleared when you disconnect)

2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

• Personal information (name, email, phone number)
• IP addresses
• Device information
• Cookies or tracking pixels
• Off-chain identity information
• Private keys or seed phrases (NEVER share these with anyone)

3. How We Use Information

We access blockchain data solely to:

• Display your portfolio and transaction history
• Show staking positions and calculate rewards
• Enable participation in DAO governance
• Execute smart contract interactions
• Provide real-time DeFi analytics
• Tally votes during governance proposals

4. Data Storage and Security

4.1 Decentralized Architecture

• All primary data remains on the blockchain
• No centralized databases store user information
• Vote tallying occurs through smart contracts

4.2 Temporary Data

Any temporarily cached data (e.g., during voting) is:

• Stored only for the minimum required duration
• Automatically purged after use
• Never linked to off-chain identity

4.3 Security Measures

• All dApp interactions use secure Web3 protocols
• Smart contracts are audited for security
• We never have access to your private keys

5. Third-Party Services

5.1 Blockchain Networks

Your transactions occur on public blockchain networks (e.g., Ethereum, [other chains]). These networks have their own privacy characteristics outside our control.

5.2 Wallet Providers

You interact with our dApp through wallet providers (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect). Please review their privacy policies for their data practices.

5.3 RPC Providers

We may use decentralized or third-party RPC providers to read blockchain data. We select providers that align with privacy best practices.

6. Your Rights and Choices

6.1 Blockchain Data

• Public Nature: Blockchain transactions are permanent and public
• Pseudonymity: Your wallet address is pseudonymous unless you link it to your identity
• Control: You control what transactions you make

6.2 Disconnect Anytime

You can disconnect your wallet at any time, which immediately stops our dApp from reading your blockchain data.

6.3 No Account Required

We don't require accounts or registration, maintaining your privacy by default.

7. International Users

Oeconomia DAO is a decentralized protocol accessible globally. By using our dApp, you understand that:

• Blockchain data is globally distributed
• Different jurisdictions may have different privacy laws
• You are responsible for compliance with your local regulations

8. Children's Privacy

Our services are not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Participation in DeFi requires legal capacity to enter financial transactions in your jurisdiction.

9. Changes to This Policy

As a DAO, changes to this privacy policy may be proposed and voted on through our governance process. The "Last Updated" date will reflect any changes.

We recommend checking this policy periodically. Continued use of our dApp after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

10. DAO Governance

This privacy policy, like all DAO policies, is subject to our decentralized governance:

• Token holders can propose amendments
• Changes require community voting
• Approved updates are implemented transparently

11. Contact Information

As a DAO, we don't have a traditional corporate structure. For privacy-related matters:

• General Inquiries: [Discord/Forum Link]
• Governance Proposals: Submit through our governance portal
• Technical Issues: [GitHub repository]
• Community Support: [Community channels]

12. Compliance

While we strive to respect user privacy globally, as a decentralized protocol:

• Users are responsible for their own regulatory compliance
• We cannot modify blockchain data for GDPR/CCPA requests
• We provide tools for users to control their interactions

13. Acknowledgment

By using Oeconomia DAO's services, you acknowledge that:

• You understand the public nature of blockchain transactions
• You accept the privacy implications of decentralized systems
• You are responsible for your wallet security
• You will never share private keys or seed phrases
