Privacy Policy

01What we don't collect

We do not collect names, email addresses, passwords, or device fingerprints, and we never link what we do measure to a wallet address. The site is published as static files with no backend of our own, so there is nowhere for a user profile to accumulate even if we wanted one.

02Analytics

Two things measure traffic here, and it is worth being exact about which does what. The first is our own counter: it records an event name, the page path, the host that referred you, and a random session id that lives in your tab's session storage and is destroyed when you close it. It sets no cookie, reads no wallet address, and cannot follow you between visits or across sites.

The second is Google Analytics 4, which we use to understand where visitors arrive from and which pages hold their attention. It is a third-party script from Google and it does set cookies on your device, which distinguish repeat visits from new ones. It receives your IP address, the pages you view, and general details about your browser and region, and Google handles that data under its own privacy policy rather than this one. It is never given your wallet address, and it plays no part in minting, resolving, or owning a name.

HoodFi Sites, the website builder at build.hoodfi.name, points here for its privacy policy and is covered by everything above. It runs its own separate Google Analytics property, which measures that tool alone; the two are not linked, and nothing follows you from one to the other.

All of it is about the sites, not about you. If you would rather not be counted at all, any content blocker or the browser's “do not track” tooling will stop all of them, and nothing on either site behaves differently when they are blocked.

03Wallet connections

If you connect a wallet, your wallet address becomes visible to the site running locally in your browser so it can display your slots and reservations. Your private keys are never shared with, or accessible to, the site. Connection preferences are kept in your browser's local storage on your device; disconnecting your wallet and clearing site data removes them.

04Third-party infrastructure

Using the site necessarily involves third-party infrastructure that we do not operate: public RPC endpoints (to read and broadcast transactions), the Reown/WalletConnect relay (if you connect via WalletConnect), IPFS gateways such as eth.limo (to serve the site), and Google Analytics (to count visits, as described above). These services may see your IP address, wallet address, and request data, and handle them under their own privacy policies. If you prefer, you can use your own RPC endpoint, your own IPFS node, or a VPN.

05Blockchain data is public and permanent

Donations, wallet addresses, reserved names, and all related transactions are recorded on public blockchains. That data is permanently public, replicated worldwide, and outside anyone's control — including ours. It cannot be edited or deleted, and privacy rights such as erasure cannot be applied to it. Do not put information in a name that you may later want removed.

06Children

The site is not directed at children and is intended for users 18 and older.

07Changes and contact

If this policy changes, the revised version will be published at this address with an updated date. Questions can be raised on GitHub or via @hoodfieth.
