DATA SECURITY We have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect the security of your information. However, please be aware that no security system is impenetrable, and we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. ### 7. YOUR RIGHTS AND CHOICES Due to the nature of blockchain technology and our minimal data collection approach, your interactions with MyDuckly differ from traditional online services: #### 7.1 Blockchain Transparency All your transactions on the blockchain are publicly visible and immutable. You can access your transaction history using blockchain explorers, which provide full transparency into all of your on-chain activities related to our Game. #### 7.2 Wallet Disconnection You can disconnect your wallet from our Game at any time. Once disconnected, we no longer have the ability to associate new actions with your wallet address. #### 7.3 Communications If you have contacted us for support, you may request that we delete any communication records we maintain. #### 7.4 Inherent Limitations Please understand that due to the immutable nature of blockchain technology: * We cannot delete or modify any data that has been recorded on the blockchain * Your transaction history and NFT ownership will remain publicly visible on the blockchain even if you stop using our Game * Smart contract interactions cannot be reversed once confirmed These limitations are fundamental to blockchain technology and apply to all blockchain-based applications, not just MyDuckly. ### 8. CHILDREN'S PRIVACY The Game is not intended for children under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 18. If we learn that we have collected personal information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such information as soon as possible. ### 9. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than the country in which you are resident. These countries may have data protection laws that are different from those in your country. By using the Game, you consent to the transfer of your information to countries outside your country of residence, including the United States, where different data protection standards may apply. ### 10. CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you by email or through the Game prior to the changes becoming effective. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about our information practices. ### 11. CONTACT US If you have any questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or our privacy practices, please contact us at: **Email**: ### 12. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE While our Game primarily processes blockchain wallet addresses rather than traditional personal information, we remain committed to respecting privacy regulations worldwide. #### 12.1 European Users As we operate from Sweden, we comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) where applicable. However, due to the public and immutable nature of blockchain technology, certain rights typically provided under the GDPR (such as the right to erasure) cannot be fully implemented for on-chain data. #### 12.2 California Users For California residents, please note that our minimal data collection practices may limit the applicability of the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) to our operations. We do not sell personal information as defined by the CCPA. For any questions regarding how these regulations may apply to your use of our Game, please contact us using the information provided in Section 11. ### 14. NFT AND BLOCKCHAIN SPECIFIC CONSIDERATIONS #### 14.1 Public Nature of Blockchain Blockchain technology inherently involves the public display of certain transaction data. When you interact with our NFTs and smart contracts, information such as your wallet address and transaction details are publicly available on the blockchain. This is a fundamental feature of blockchain technology, not a specific data collection practice of MyDuckly. #### 14.2 Pseudonymity Our Game is designed to preserve pseudonymity. Your wallet address functions as your identifier, and we do not require you to connect it to your off-chain identity. However, please be aware that techniques exist that might correlate blockchain activity across platforms, potentially affecting your pseudonymity. #### 14.3 NFT Metadata The metadata associated with NFTs (which may include images, descriptions, attributes, etc.) may be stored either on-chain or off-chain. If stored off-chain, we use decentralized storage solutions where possible to ensure the persistence of this data. #### 14.4 Smart Contract Interactions When you interact with our smart contracts, such as minting, buying, selling, or transferring NFTs, these interactions are recorded on the blockchain and are publicly visible. #### 14.5 Wallet Connections When you connect your digital wallet to our Game, we collect your wallet address to verify ownership of NFTs and provide you with access to related features. No traditional account creation or personal information is required beyond your wallet address. ### 15. EFFECTIVE DATE This Privacy Policy is effective as of the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. By using the Game, you acknowledge that you have read this Privacy Policy and understand its contents.
