Privacy Policy

Dot AI ("Dot," "we," "our," or "us") respects your privacy and is committed to protecting it through this Privacy Policy. This policy describes how we collect, use, share, and protect your personal information when you access or use our website (https://traindot.ai), platform, AI services, smart contract features, and related tools and services (collectively, the "Platform").

By using the Platform, you consent to the practices outlined in this Privacy Policy.

1. Information We Collect

We collect two types of information: (1) Information you provide to us directly, and (2) Automatically collected information based on your interaction with our Platform.

A. Information You Provide

• Wallet Address (when connecting a Web3 wallet)
• Contact Information (email, Discord, GitHub, etc. — if voluntarily submitted)
• User Content (e.g., data uploads, AI training prompts, model output, or support inquiries)
• Feedback or Form Responses

B. Automatically Collected Data

• IP address, browser type, device type
• Operating system, language preferences
• Site usage data (clicks, navigation, time spent)
• Interaction with smart contracts (on-chain metadata)
• Referral or affiliate source (if applicable)

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) unless you voluntarily provide it.

2. Use of Information

We use your data to:

• Provide, operate, and improve the Platform and its features
• Process AI model inputs, training, and output personalization
• Enable wallet-based authentication and access
• Prevent abuse, ensure security, and detect anomalies
• Notify you about updates or respond to inquiries
• Enforce our Terms and Conditions
• Conduct analytics and gather usage statistics

We do not sell your personal data.

3. Web3, Wallets & On-Chain Activity

We treat connected wallet addresses as pseudonymous identifiers, not personally identifiable data. However:

• Wallet interactions and smart contract activity are public and immutable on the blockchain.
• Any actions taken on-chain (staking, governance, rewards) are visible via block explorers.
• We do not access your private keys or wallet credentials.
• You are responsible for safeguarding your wallet and understanding the privacy characteristics of blockchain technology.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We may use limited cookies or similar technologies to:

• Understand user behavior
• Remember session data (e.g., wallet connections)
• Facilitate token-based authentication
• Track referral programs and affiliate performance

You can disable cookies via your browser, but some features may become unavailable.

5. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We may share information in the following circumstances:

• With third-party service providers who help us operate (e.g., analytics tools, infrastructure hosting)
• If required by law (e.g., to comply with legal processes or government requests)
• With your explicit consent (e.g., integration with external apps or services)
• For mergers or acquisitions — if Dot AI is involved in a reorganization, your data may transfer with the business

We do not share personal user data with advertisers or data brokers.

6. Data Security

We implement technical and organizational safeguards to protect your data. These may include:

• Encryption of data in transit
• Role-based access controls
• Secure infrastructure partners
• Minimal data retention policy

However, no system is 100% secure. Use blockchain and AI services with appropriate caution.

7. Data Retention

We retain your data:

• For as long as your account or wallet remains connected
• As needed to fulfill legal, contractual, or business obligations
• Until deleted via user request (where applicable)

On-chain data (e.g., smart contract interactions) is permanent and outside our control.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access or receive a copy of your data
• Request correction or deletion
• Object to or restrict processing
• Withdraw previously given consent

For requests, contact: privacy@traindot.ai

We may ask you to verify ownership of a wallet or provide additional identity confirmation where needed.

9. Third-Party Services

Our Platform may link to third-party services (e.g., GitHub, Discord, Arweave, IPFS). We are not responsible for their privacy practices. We recommend reviewing their policies independently.

10. International Users

Dot AI may process your data globally. If you are accessing the Platform from outside the jurisdiction where we operate (e.g., EU, US), your data may be transferred to or stored in a region with different privacy laws.

11. Children's Privacy

Our Platform is not intended for children under 13 (or under 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.

12. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Changes will be posted on this page with a new "Last Updated" date. Significant changes may also be announced via email or the Platform.
