If you do not agree with our policies and practices, your choice is not to use our Website. By accessing or using the Website, you agree to this Policy. This Policy may change from time to time. Your continued use of the Website after we make changes is deemed to be acceptance of those changes, so please check the Policy periodically for updates.

1. Scope of Policy

This Policy applies to information collected through our Website located at [flops.gg]. This Policy does not apply to information collected offline, through other means or via third-party websites or services that may be linked to or accessible from our Website.

2. FLOPs

As described in our Terms of Use, FLOPs are internal, off-chain units issued by FLOps Inc. to reflect a contributor's proportional access to compute capacity available through the platform. FLOPs are not financial instruments and are not tied to ownership or profit rights.

This Privacy Policy applies only to how we collect and handle information associated with contributions and the issuance or allocation of FLOPs, such as blockchain wallet addresses or technical access data.

3. Information We Collect

Our Website is designed to operate on a pseudonymous basis and to collect minimal information to function. Specifically, we collect:

1. Public Blockchain Wallet Address: Collected when you connect your wallet to contribute USDC to the Website's treasury;
2. Technical Metadata: Items such as your IP address, time of access, and device/browser type, may be logged solely to ensure platform security and prevent abuse (this information is not used to track or identify users and is discarded on a rolling basis); and
3. [.........]

We do not collect the following: names, email addresses, phone numbers, physical addresses, Government-issued identification and payment card details.

We do not engage in behavioral tracking, or interest-based advertising or profiling of users. No sensitive personal information (such as biometric or health data) is collected.

4. Children Under the Age of 18

Our Website is not intended for children under 18 years of age. No one under age 18 may provide any information to the Website. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If you are under 18, do not use or provide any information on the Website or through any of its features, register on the Website, make any purchases through the Website, or provide any information about yourself to us, including your name, address, telephone number, email address, or any screen name or username you may use.

If we learn we have collected or received personal information from a child under 18 without verification of parental consent, we will delete that information. If you believe we might have any information from or about a child under 18, please contact us at [support@flops.gg].

5. Future Changes in Data Collection (Future-Proofing)

As the Website evolves, we reserve the right to implement additional data collection requirements to comply with applicable legal, regulatory or operational needs, including Know Your Customer (KYC) or Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. If such data collection becomes necessary:

1. We will notify users of the nature and scope of additional data collection;
2. We will update this Policy to reflect any new practices; and
3. Any additional personal data collected will be used strictly for compliance, fraud prevention, security, or lawful operational purposes.

Currently, participation on the Website remains pseudonymous, requiring only a blockchain wallet address.

6. Use of Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

1. Associate wallet addresses with contributions and corresponding FLOPs credits;
2. Maintain accurate contribution and allocation records;
3. Ensure Website functionality, security, and integrity; and
4. Comply with legal, regulatory, or contractual obligations.

Some technical services (such as database or infrastructure providers) may have access to operational metadata solely for platform functionality, under strict data processing agreements.

7. Information Sharing and Disclosure

As you navigate through and interact with our Website, we may share information as necessary:

1. With trusted service providers who assist us in operating, maintaining, or securing the Website (subject to contractual confidentiality obligations);
2. As required by law, regulation, legal process, or governmental requests;
3. In connection with business transfers, mergers, or acquisitions; and
4. To enforce our Terms of Use, defend legal claims, or protect the rights, property, or safety of the Company, its users, or others.

We reserve the right to disclose information to prevent, detect, or investigate fraud, security breaches, or technical issues.

8. Cookies, Web Beacons and Tracking Technologies

A cookie is a small file placed on the hard drive of your computer. You may refuse to accept browser cookies by activating the appropriate setting on your browser. However, if you select this setting you may be unable to access certain parts of our Website. Unless you have adjusted your browser setting so that it will refuse cookies, our system will issue cookies when you direct your browser to our Website.

The Website uses only limited cookies and similar technologies necessary for basic functionality, security, or fraud prevention. We do not utilize third-party behavioral advertising cookies, analytics platforms, or marketing trackers.

Pages of our Website may contain small electronic files known as web beacons (also referred to as clear gifs, pixel tags, and single-pixel gifs) that permit the Company, for example, to count users who have visited those pages and for other related Website statistics (for example, recording the popularity of certain Website content and verifying system and server integrity).

9. Data Security

We strive to implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, technical and physical safeguards to protect the limited information we collect. These safeguards include:

1. Secure server infrastructure;
2. Encryption of data in transit and at rest (where applicable); and
3. Strict access controls and authentication protocols.

Despite these safeguards, no method of electronic transmission or storage can be guaranteed as fully secure. You acknowledge that use of the Website is at your own risk, and we cannot guarantee that your data will never be subject to unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction.

10. Data Retention

We retain wallet address information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Policy, including regulatory or contractual obligations, after which data may be anonymized, aggregated, or securely deleted.

11. Disclaimer of Third-Party Sites

The Website may contain links to third-party websites or services beyond our control. This Policy does not apply to any third-party websites. The Company disclaims all responsibility for the privacy practices or content of any external sites.

12. No Expectation of Absolute Privacy

You acknowledge and agree that while we take reasonable measures to safeguard information, you have no expectation of absolute confidentiality regarding the public blockchain wallet address you use on our Website. Blockchain data may be inherently public and observable by third parties. The Company cannot prevent third parties from associating your blockchain activity with your wallet address.

13. State-Specific Rights

Because we do not collect personally identifiable information as defined by most U.S. state laws, many U.S. state privacy laws (e.g., California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), Colorado Privacy Act (CPA), Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA)) have limited applicability. However, if you believe applicable law provides you rights to access, correct or delete any information we maintain, you may contact us at [hello@flops.gg]. We reserve the right to verify your identity prior to processing any such request.

14. International Data Transfers

The Company is based in the United States. If you access the Website from outside the U.S., you consent to the transfer, processing and storage of your information in jurisdictions that may not provide equivalent data protection safeguards as your home jurisdiction.

15. Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We may update our Policy from time to time, including (without limitation) if we make material changes to how we treat our users' personal information. Your continued use of the Website following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy. The date the Policy was last revised is identified at the top of the page.
