DeFindex Privacy Policy

Last Updated: September 12, 2025

1. Important Information and Who We Are

Welcome to DeFindex ("DeFindex", "we", "our", or "us"). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal data when you visit our website at https://defindex.io (the "Site") and use our decentralized yield and vault services ("Services").

For any questions about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact our Data Privacy Manager at privacy@paltalabs.io.

2. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version on the Site and update the "Last Updated" date. Your continued use of the Services after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Privacy Policy.

3. What Information Do We Collect?

a) Blockchain Data

DeFindex does not collect or store personal data from your interactions on the Stellar network or any other blockchain. Please note that all blockchain transactions are public, immutable, and outside DeFindex's control.

b) Technical Data

When you visit the Site, we may automatically collect certain technical information such as:

  • IP address
  • Browser type and version
  • Pages visited and interaction data

This information is used to maintain the Site, improve functionality, and enhance security.

c) Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to improve your browsing experience. Some cookies are essential for the Site to function, while others help us analyze usage trends. You can manage your cookie preferences through your browser settings.

d) Aggregate Data

We may collect anonymized, statistical information about how users interact with our Services (e.g., vault usage patterns). This data cannot identify individuals and is used only to improve performance and user experience.

e) Social Networks

If you share DeFindex content on third-party social networks (e.g., Twitter, LinkedIn), your interactions are governed by those platforms' privacy policies.

4. How Do We Use Your Data?

We use the limited data we collect to:

  • Provide and improve our Services
  • Maintain security and prevent fraud
  • Comply with applicable laws and regulations
  • Communicate with you if you contact us

We do not track or store blockchain transaction data.

5. Disclosure of Information

We do not sell or share your personal data. We may disclose technical data to trusted third-party service providers for purposes such as analytics, hosting, or legal compliance.

6. International Transfers

Because DeFindex operates globally through blockchain networks and online infrastructure, data may be processed outside your country of residence. Where personal data is involved, we take appropriate safeguards in accordance with applicable laws (e.g., Standard Contractual Clauses under GDPR).

7. Your Rights

You have rights over your personal data, including:

  • Accessing a copy of your data
  • Correcting or updating your data
  • Requesting deletion of your data
  • Restricting or objecting to certain processing
  • Withdrawing consent where applicable

To exercise your rights, contact us at privacy@paltalabs.io.

8. Security of Information

We implement industry-standard technical, physical, and organizational safeguards to protect your information against unauthorized access, misuse, or loss.

However, no system is completely secure. Because DeFindex is a decentralized platform, we cannot guarantee the security of data shared through third-party services or external networks.

9. Data Retention

We retain personal data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, including legal, regulatory, or reporting obligations. Technical and aggregate data may be retained for analytics and security purposes.

10. Access to Information

You can manage or delete cookies through your browser. You may also contact privacy@paltalabs.io to request access to any personal data we may have collected about you.

11. Children's Privacy

Our Services are not directed to or intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from users under 13 (or the minimum legal age in your jurisdiction). If we become aware that we have collected such data, we will delete it promptly.

12. Your Choices

You may choose not to use our Services if you do not agree with this Privacy Policy. You may also limit certain types of data collection (such as cookies) through your browser settings, understanding this may affect functionality.

13. Legal Rights for EEA Residents

If you are located in the European Economic Area (EEA), you have additional rights under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal data
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Object to or restrict processing
  • Request transfer of your data to another provider
