LAST UPDATED: MARCH 31, 2026

1. OVERVIEW

VAGACHAIN RESPECTS YOUR PRIVACY.

THIS PRIVACY POLICY EXPLAINS WHAT PERSONAL DATA MAY BE COLLECTED THROUGH THIS WEBSITE, DOCUMENTATION, FORMS, AND RELATED OFF-CHAIN TOUCHPOINTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE VAGACHAIN PROJECT, HOW THAT DATA MAY BE USED, AND WHAT RIGHTS YOU MAY HAVE UNDER APPLICABLE DATA PROTECTION LAW, INCLUDING THE GDPR WHERE APPLICABLE.

THIS POLICY APPLIES TO WEBSITE AND OTHER OFF-CHAIN INTERACTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS WEBSITE. IT DOES NOT CHANGE THE PUBLIC NATURE OF DATA THAT YOU MAY CHOOSE TO SUBMIT TO A PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK.

2. CONTACT

FOR PRIVACY QUESTIONS OR DATA PROTECTION REQUESTS, YOU MAY CONTACT:
PRIVACY@VAGACHAIN.XYZ

3. ON-CHAIN PRIVACY

VAGACHAIN IS A PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN PROTOCOL AND NETWORK.

DATA SUBMITTED TO A PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN NETWORK MAY BECOME PUBLIC, IMMUTABLE, AND PERSISTENTLY ACCESSIBLE.

FOR THAT REASON, YOU SHOULD AVOID PLACING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION OR OTHER SENSITIVE PERSONAL DATA DIRECTLY ON-CHAIN.

WHERE POSSIBLE, THE VAGACHAIN DESIGN DIRECTION IS TO SUPPORT PRIVACY-PRESERVING APPROACHES SUCH AS HASHES, COMMITMENTS, AND CREDENTIAL REFERENCES RATHER THAN RAW PERSONAL DATA ON-CHAIN.

4. INFORMATION WE COLLECT

DEPENDING ON HOW YOU USE THIS WEBSITE, INFORMATION COLLECTED MAY INCLUDE:

  • TECHNICAL AND USAGE DATA, SUCH AS IP ADDRESS, DEVICE TYPE, BROWSER TYPE, OPERATING SYSTEM, LOG DATA, REFERRING PAGES, PAGES VIEWED, SESSION ACTIVITY, AND WEBSITE INTERACTIONS.

7. LEGAL BASES

WHERE THE GDPR APPLIES, PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED ONLY WHERE THERE IS A VALID LEGAL BASIS.

DEPENDING ON THE CONTEXT, THAT LEGAL BASIS MAY INCLUDE CONSENT, LEGITIMATE INTERESTS, COMPLIANCE WITH LEGAL OBLIGATIONS, OR STEPS TAKEN AT YOUR REQUEST BEFORE PROVIDING REQUESTED MATERIALS, ACCESS, OR SERVICES.

8. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES

THIS WEBSITE USES COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE CORE FUNCTIONALITY, MAINTAIN SECURITY, REMEMBER PREFERENCES, AND, WHERE PERMITTED, MEASURE TRAFFIC AND IMPROVE THE USER EXPERIENCE.

STRICTLY NECESSARY COOKIES ARE USED BECAUSE THEY ARE REQUIRED FOR THE WEBSITE TO FUNCTION PROPERLY.

OPTIONAL COOKIES, INCLUDING ANALYTICS OR FUNCTIONAL COOKIES, ARE ONLY USED WHERE THE RELEVANT CONSENT HAS BEEN PROVIDED, WHERE REQUIRED BY LAW.

WHERE ENABLED, THESE TECHNOLOGIES MAY COLLECT INFORMATION SUCH AS IP ADDRESS, BROWSER AND DEVICE INFORMATION, PAGES VISITED, SESSION ACTIVITY, AND GENERAL USAGE DATA.

YOU CAN ACCEPT, REJECT, OR MANAGE OPTIONAL COOKIES THROUGH THE COOKIE BANNER AND COOKIE SETTINGS. YOU CAN ALSO CHANGE OR WITHDRAW YOUR CONSENT AT ANY TIME THROUGH COOKIE SETTINGS.

9. SHARING INFORMATION

PERSONAL DATA MAY BE SHARED WITH TRUSTED SERVICE PROVIDERS THAT HELP OPERATE THIS WEBSITE OR RELATED DIGITAL SERVICES, SUCH AS HOSTING, ANALYTICS, SECURITY, COMMUNICATION, OR FORM-PROCESSING PROVIDERS.

PERSONAL DATA MAY ALSO BE DISCLOSED WHERE NECESSARY TO COMPLY WITH LAW, ENFORCE TERMS, PROTECT RIGHTS, INVESTIGATE MISUSE, OR RESPOND TO VALID LEGAL REQUESTS.

PERSONAL DATA IS NOT SOLD UNDER THIS WEBSITE PRIVACY POLICY.

10. INTERNATIONAL TRANSFERS

IF PERSONAL DATA IS TRANSFERRED OUTSIDE THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AREA, AN APPROPRIATE LAWFUL TRANSFER MECHANISM WILL BE USED WHERE REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

11. DATA RETENTION

PERSONAL DATA IS KEPT ONLY FOR AS LONG AS NECESSARY FOR THE PURPOSES DESCRIBED IN THIS POLICY, UNLESS A LONGER PERIOD IS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED BY LAW.

PUBLIC BLOCKCHAIN DATA MAY REMAIN AVAILABLE INDEFINITELY DUE TO THE NATURE OF DISTRIBUTED LEDGER SYSTEMS.

12. YOUR RIGHTS

SUBJECT TO APPLICABLE LAW, YOU MAY HAVE THE RIGHT TO REQUEST ACCESS, RECTIFICATION, ERASURE, RESTRICTION, OBJECTION, AND DATA PORTABILITY.
