3. Privacy Principles

CoinLark is committed to handling data in a responsible and transparent manner. The following principles guide how we collect, use, and manage information across the Platform:

3.1. Transparency

We aim to clearly explain what data we collect, how it is used, and the role it plays in the operation of the Platform. This Privacy Policy is designed to help users understand CoinLark's data practices without requiring technical or legal expertise.

3.2. Purpose Limitation

We collect and use data only for specific, legitimate purposes related to providing, operating, improving, and securing the Platform. Data is not used in ways that are incompatible with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

3.3. Data Minimization

CoinLark seeks to collect only the data that is reasonably necessary to deliver Platform features, maintain functionality, and ensure integrity and security. We do not collect personal data solely for speculative, unrelated, or undisclosed purposes.

3.4. Security and Integrity

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. While we strive to safeguard data, no system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

3.5. User Control and Responsibility

Where applicable, users have control over their profiles, content visibility, and certain data settings. Users are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and for the information they choose to make public through the Platform.

3.6. No Sale of Personal Data

CoinLark does not sell personal data to third parties. Any sharing of data, where necessary, is limited to the purposes described in this Privacy Policy and is conducted in accordance with applicable laws and contractual obligations.

4. Data Collection and Use Overview

This section describes the categories of data collected and used by CoinLark, the sources of such data, the purposes for which the data is processed, and how the data is handled or displayed on the Platform.

Depending on context, the data categories described in this Section may include definitions stated in the above section.

4.1 Data Collection and Usage Table

4.2 Public and Non-Public Data Distinction

Certain data is intentionally made public on the Platform, including User-Generated Content, public profile information, and Public Blockchain Data. Other data, such as internal analytics, technical logs, quest verification signals, and support communications, is treated as non-public and used solely for internal operational, security, and compliance purposes.

Users may control the visibility of certain profile information through available settings. CoinLark does not make non-public or restricted data publicly available unless required by law or explicitly authorized by the user.

4.3 Public Blockchain Data Notice

Public Blockchain Data is not created, owned, or controlled by CoinLark. Such data exists independently on distributed ledger networks and may remain permanently accessible. CoinLark cannot modify, delete, restrict, or prevent access to Public Blockchain Data, even where such data is referenced, indexed, or displayed on the Platform.

4.4 Data Accuracy and Limitations

Data processed or displayed on the Platform may originate from user input, automated systems, third-party services, or public blockchain sources. As a result, such data may be incomplete, delayed, inaccurate, or subject to change. CoinLark does not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any data and processes data strictly in accordance with the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

5. Visibility, Heating & Quest-Specific Disclosures

The Platform may offer features that allow certain content, projects, or digital assets to receive increased visibility or exposure, including through quests, campaigns, or other engagement-based mechanisms (collectively, "Visibility Features" or "Heating").

5.1 Purpose of Visibility Features

Visibility Features are designed to enhance user interaction, discovery, and participation on the Platform. These features may influence how content, projects, or digital assets are displayed, ordered, or highlighted within specific sections of the Platform.

Visibility Features are not designed to evaluate, rate, verify, or recommend any cryptocurrency, digital asset, project, or content.

5.2 Separation from Market Data and Scoring

Visibility Features operate independently from:

• Market data
• Analytical indicators
• Radar scoring or other scoring frameworks
• Rankings based on objective metrics

Participation in quests, campaigns, or Heating does not alter underlying market data, analytical outputs, or scoring methodologies displayed on the Platform.

5.3 Quest Participation and Data Use

Participation in quests or campaigns may require the collection and processing of certain Personal Data and usage data, such as participation status, completion signals, timestamps, and engagement records.

Such data is used solely for:

• Verifying quest participation or completion
• Determining eligibility for quest outcomes or visibility effects
• Preventing abuse, manipulation, or fraudulent activity

Quest-related data is not used to provide investment advice, recommendations, or assessments of asset quality.

5.4 No Endorsement or Guarantee

Visibility Features, including Heating, do not constitute:

• An endorsement or approval by CoinLark
• A representation of quality, legitimacy, or regulatory compliance
• An indication of investment value, performance, or future outcomes

Increased visibility does not guarantee user engagement, project success, market performance, or any particular result.

5.5 Sponsored or Special Campaigns

Certain quests or campaigns may be created or sponsored by third parties, including project teams or partners. Where applicable, such sponsorships are intended to support user engagement and platform activity.

CoinLark does not verify, audit, or guarantee the claims, representations, or materials associated with sponsored quests or campaigns and does not assume responsibility for third-party content or outcomes.

5.6 User Responsibility and Risk Acknowledgment

Users acknowledge and agree that:

• Visibility Features may affect exposure, but not accuracy or reliability of information
• Any reliance on content, visibility signals, or quest outcomes is at their own risk
• Participation in quests or interaction with Visibility Features does not reduce the risks associated with cryptocurrencies or digital assets

6. Data Sharing & Disclosure

CoinLark is designed as an information and analytics platform. We do not monetize user data and do not sell Personal Data to third parties. Any data sharing that occurs is limited, purpose-driven, and aligned with the operation and security of the Platform.

6.1 Sharing for Platform Operations

CoinLark may share limited data with carefully selected service providers that support essential Platform operations, such as:

• Cloud hosting and infrastructure
• Security monitoring and abuse prevention
• Performance analytics and system reliability
• Customer support tooling

These service providers process data only on CoinLark's behalf, under contractual obligations, and only for the specific services they provide. They are not permitted to use data for their own purposes.

6.2 Third-Party Integrations and External Services

The Platform may integrate with or reference Third-Party Services, such as blockchain networks, data providers, explorers, or external platforms.

Where such integrations exist:

• CoinLark does not control how third parties process data
• CoinLark does not share Sensitive Data with Third-Party Services
• Any interaction with Third-Party Services is governed by their own terms and privacy policies

CoinLark does not provide Personal Data to third parties for advertising or profiling purposes.

6.3 Legal and Regulatory Disclosure

In limited circumstances, CoinLark may be required to disclose certain data to comply with applicable laws or enforceable legal requests, such as court orders or regulatory inquiries.

When possible and legally permitted, CoinLark will make reasonable efforts to notify affected users before such disclosure.

6.4 Business Transfers

If CoinLark undergoes a merger, acquisition, restructuring, or sale of assets, user data may be transferred as part of that transaction. In such cases, data will remain subject to protections consistent with this Privacy Policy or equivalent safeguards.

6.5 Data Excluded from Disclosure

To be explicit, CoinLark will not share the following data with third parties under any circumstances, except where required by law:

• Private account credentials or authentication information
• Non-public profile data or that with private visibility settings
• Sensitive Data not intentionally made public by the user
• Private communications submitted through support or contact channels
• User data for advertising, resale, or data brokerage purposes

CoinLark does not allow third parties to access or purchase user data for marketing, targeting, or profiling activities.

7. Data Retention, Deletion and Anonymization

CoinLark retains data only for as long as necessary to operate the Platform, fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, and comply with applicable legal and regulatory obligations.

7.1 Data Retention Principles

Data retention at CoinLark is guided by the following principles:

• Data is retained only where there is a legitimate operational, security, or legal purpose
• Retention periods may vary depending on data type and usage context
• Data that is no longer necessary is deleted or anonymized where feasible

CoinLark does not retain Personal Data indefinitely by default.

7.2 Retention by Data Category

Different categories of data are retained for different periods:

• Account & Profile Data (Personal Data) — Retained while the user maintains an active account and for a reasonable period thereafter to support account recovery, security, and compliance.
• Community Content (User-Generated Content) — Retained as long as it remains published on the Platform, unless removed by the user or required to be removed by law.
• Quest & Campaign Data (Personal Data / Usage Data) — Retained for the duration of the quest or campaign and for a limited period thereafter for verification, auditing, and abuse prevention.
• Technical & Usage Data (Personal Data) — Retained for a limited duration necessary for system operation, performance analysis, and security monitoring.
• Public Blockchain Data (Public Blockchain Data) — Retained or referenced as long as such data remains publicly available on the underlying blockchain networks.

7.3 Data Deletion Requests

Users may request deletion of certain Personal Data associated with their account, subject to:

• Legal or regulatory retention requirements
• Ongoing security, fraud prevention, or dispute resolution needs
• Technical limitations related to data backups or logs

Where deletion is not immediately feasible, CoinLark may restrict processing or anonymize the data instead.

7.4 Anonymization and Aggregation

CoinLark may anonymize or aggregate data so that it no longer identifies individual users. Anonymized or aggregated data may be retained and used for analytics, research, platform improvement, and reporting purposes.

Once data is anonymized, it is no longer treated as Personal Data under this Privacy Policy.

7.5 Limitations Regarding Public Blockchain Data

CoinLark cannot delete, modify, or restrict access to Public Blockchain Data that exists independently on public blockchain networks. Requests to delete such data cannot be fulfilled, even where CoinLark references or displays that data on the Platform.

7.6 Effect of Account Deletion

Upon account deletion:

• Personal Data associated with the account will be deleted or anonymized within a reasonable period, except where retention is required for legal, security, or compliance purposes
• User-Generated Content may remain visible unless specifically removed, anonymized, or required to be deleted by law
• Public Blockchain Data will remain publicly accessible outside of CoinLark's control

8. User Rights & Choices

CoinLark respects users' ability to understand, access, and manage their data. This section outlines the rights and choices available to users in connection with Personal Data processed on the Platform.

8.1 Access and Review

Users may request access to certain Personal Data associated with their account, including basic profile information and account-related data, subject to reasonable verification.

CoinLark may limit access where necessary to protect the privacy of other users, maintain platform security, or comply with legal obligations.

8.2 Correction and Update

Users may update or correct inaccurate or incomplete Personal Data directly through available account settings. Where direct modification is not available, users may request assistance through official support channels.

8.3 Data Deletion and Account Closure

Users may request deletion of their account and associated Personal Data, subject to the limitations described in the previous section.

Certain data may be retained, anonymized, or restricted rather than deleted where required for legal, security, or operational purposes.

8.4 Consent and Participation Choices

Users may choose whether to:

• Participate in quests or campaigns
• Link external accounts or services
• Engage with community features

Participation in optional features is voluntary. Declining to participate may limit access to certain functionalities but does not prevent general use of the Platform.

8.5 Communication Preferences

Users may manage preferences related to platform communications, such as system notifications or informational messages, where such controls are available.

CoinLark does not send marketing communications based on the sale or profiling of Personal Data.

8.6 Limitations of User Rights

Certain rights may be limited due to:

• Legal or regulatory requirements
• Protection of other users' rights
• Security, fraud prevention, or abuse detection
• Technical constraints

Public Blockchain Data and publicly posted User-Generated Content may not be fully removable due to their nature or external dependencies.

9. Security & Data Protection Measures

CoinLark implements reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration. While no system can guarantee absolute security, CoinLark continuously evaluates and improves its security practices as the Platform evolves.

9.1 Technical Safeguards

CoinLark employs technical measures appropriate to the nature of the data processed, which may include:

• Secure infrastructure and access controls
• Encryption of data in transit where applicable
• Monitoring systems for detecting suspicious activity
• Segmentation of systems to reduce exposure and impact

These measures are designed to support data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

9.2 Organizational Measures

Access to data is limited to authorized personnel who require such access to perform their duties. CoinLark applies internal policies and procedures related to:

• Data access management
• Incident response and escalation
• Internal security awareness

Personnel with access to data are subject to confidentiality obligations.

9.3 Third-Party Security Considerations

Where CoinLark relies on third-party service providers for infrastructure or services, reasonable efforts are made to select providers that maintain appropriate security practices.

CoinLark is not responsible for security practices of Third-Party Services that are not operated or controlled by the Platform.

9.4 User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for maintaining the security of their own accounts, including safeguarding login credentials and linked external accounts.

CoinLark cannot protect data where unauthorized access results from user actions, such as sharing credentials or failing to secure linked accounts.

9.5 Security Limitations

Despite implemented safeguards, risks inherent to online platforms, distributed systems, and blockchain technologies may result in unauthorized access, delays, or data exposure.

CoinLark does not guarantee that security incidents will not occur and disclaims liability for damages arising from events beyond its reasonable control.

10. Policy Updates & Contact Information

CoinLark may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in the Platform's features, data practices, legal requirements, or operational needs.

When updates are made:

• The revised version will be published on the Platform
• The "Last Updated" date will be updated accordingly
• Continued use of the Platform after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy

Where changes are material, CoinLark may provide additional notice through the Platform.
