Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how ECW3 Protocol ("ECW3", "we", or "our") collects, uses, and protects your information in connection with our decentralized e-commerce protocol and associated services.

1. Scope

This policy applies to users accessing ECW3 through our web interfaces (e.g., ecweb3.com), smart contracts, and related tools. As a Web3 protocol, we minimize data collection and do not operate custodial services.

2. Information We Collect

• On-Chain Data: Wallet addresses, transactions, voting records, and smart contract interactions are public and stored immutably on blockchain networks.
• Off-Chain Data (if applicable): If you interact with off-chain components (e.g., submitting proposals via web interfaces), we may collect limited metadata such as IP addresses, browser type, or referral source, subject to consent.
• Cookies: We may use basic cookies for session management and user experience, but avoid tracking or behavioral profiling.

3. How We Use Information

• To operate and improve the ECW3 platform and governance interfaces
• To prevent fraud and maintain protocol integrity
• To support governance features like voting verification or reputation scores

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell your personal data. On-chain data is publicly visible by design. Any off-chain data collected may be shared only:

• With your explicit consent
• To comply with legal obligations or regulatory requirements
• To defend the integrity of the protocol in the case of abuse or fraud

5. Data Security

While ECW3 is decentralized and non-custodial, we take reasonable technical and organizational measures to safeguard any off-chain data from unauthorized access or misuse.

6. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete off-chain data we hold. Please contact us via our community channels to request such actions.

7. Third-Party Links and Tools

Our interfaces may link to third-party tools (e.g., wallet providers or analytics). These are governed by their own privacy policies. We encourage you to review them independently.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy as the protocol evolves. Significant changes will be shared via the DAO governance forum and updated on our interfaces. Continued use constitutes agreement.

9. Contact

For questions or requests, please reach out via our community Discord or governance channels.
