Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how Alula Protocol ("we," "our," or "us") handles information when you use our decentralized lending protocol interface (the "Interface"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and being transparent about our data practices.

3. Blockchain Data

When you interact with the protocol, the following information is recorded on the public Stellar blockchain:

• Your wallet address
• Transaction details (amounts, timestamps, asset types)
• Smart contract interactions
• Gas fees and transaction hashes

Important: This information is publicly accessible on the blockchain and cannot be deleted or modified. It is not collected by us but is inherent to blockchain technology.

4. Technical Information

We may automatically collect limited technical information to ensure the Interface functions properly:

• Usage Analytics: Anonymous data about Interface usage patterns
• Error Logs: Technical errors to improve the Interface
• Performance Metrics: Loading times and response rates
• Browser Information: Browser type and version for compatibility

This data is collected anonymously and cannot be linked to your identity or wallet address.

5. Third-Party Services

The Interface may integrate with third-party services that have their own privacy policies:

• Wallet Providers: Freighter, Albedo, and other Stellar wallets
• Price Oracles: External price feed providers
• Analytics Services: Anonymous usage analytics (if used)
• CDN Services: Content delivery networks for Interface hosting

Please review the privacy policies of these services as they are independent of our control.

6. Cookies and Local Storage

The Interface may use browser storage mechanisms:

• Local Storage: To save your Interface preferences and settings
• Session Storage: For temporary Interface state during your session
• Essential Cookies: Only if necessary for Interface functionality

We do not use tracking cookies or advertising cookies. You can clear this data through your browser settings.

7. Data Retention

Since we do not collect personal information:

• Anonymous technical data may be retained for operational purposes
• Blockchain data is permanent and outside our control
• Browser storage data remains until you clear it
• No personal information retention periods apply

8. Security Measures

While we don't collect personal information, we implement security measures to protect the Interface:

• HTTPS encryption for all Interface communications
• Regular security audits of the Interface code
• Protection against common web vulnerabilities
• Secure hosting infrastructure

Your Responsibility: Protect your wallet private keys and use reputable wallet providers.

9. International Users

The Interface is accessible globally. Since we don't collect personal information, data protection regulations like GDPR, CCPA, and others generally don't apply. However, blockchain data is international by nature.

10. Children's Privacy

The Interface is not intended for use by children under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used the Interface, please contact us.

11. Privacy Rights

Since we don't collect personal information, traditional privacy rights don't apply. However:

• You can clear browser data at any time
• You control your wallet and blockchain interactions
• You can stop using the Interface at any time
• Blockchain data cannot be deleted due to its immutable nature

12. Updates to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Updates will be posted on the Interface with a new "Last updated" date.
