Privacy Policy

AREA523 operates an online community focused on user-generated reports, discussion, community verification, and related AREA reward functionality. This Privacy Policy explains how information may be collected, used, stored, and disclosed when you use AREA523.

We may collect account information such as your email address, username, display name, profile image, biography, authentication provider information, and account identifiers.

When you connect a compatible blockchain wallet, we may store your public wallet address. AREA523 does not require or request your wallet private key or seed phrase.

We may also process content and activity you submit, including posts, comments, votes, follows, reposts, reports, verification activity, and reward or withdrawal records.

AREA523 may provide authentication through email/password and supported third-party authentication providers such as Google. Third-party authentication providers process information according to their own privacy policies.

We and our service providers may process technical information necessary to operate and secure AREA523, such as IP addresses, browser or device information, request logs, timestamps, authentication events, and security-related records.

We may use information to operate accounts, provide community features, maintain login sessions, process verification activity, calculate or distribute rewards, process withdrawals, prevent abuse, investigate reports, enforce our rules, improve the service, and maintain platform security.

Posts, comments, usernames, display names, profile information, community activity, follower relationships, verification activity, and other information you choose to publish may be visible to other users or the public.

Public blockchain wallet addresses and blockchain transactions may also be visible permanently on public blockchain networks.

AREA523 may rely on infrastructure and service providers for hosting, databases, authentication, analytics, blockchain connectivity, security, and other technical operations. These providers may process information as necessary to provide their services.

Blockchain transactions may be public, permanent, and outside AREA523's ability to modify or delete. Once a transaction is submitted to a blockchain network, AREA523 may not be able to reverse or erase that transaction.

We may retain information for as long as reasonably necessary to provide the service, preserve platform integrity, maintain accounting or security records, resolve disputes, prevent fraud, and comply with applicable obligations.

AREA523 uses reasonable technical and organizational measures intended to protect platform information. No internet, authentication, database, wallet, or blockchain system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

You may choose what profile information and content you publish. You may sign out of your account and may contact AREA523 regarding requests concerning your account or personal information where applicable.

AREA523 is not intended for children who are below the minimum age permitted to use online services in their jurisdiction.

We may update this Privacy Policy as AREA523 changes. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised update date.

Privacy-related questions may be submitted through the contact method published by AREA523.
