Privacy Policy

0. Scope & Controller

This policy explains how PolySputnik Labs ("PolySputnik", "we", "our") handles information across polysputnik.com, the live dashboard, and related APIs. PolySputnik Labs acts as the data controller for privacy inquiries and adheres to GDPR, UK GDPR, and CCPA principles even though we minimize collection of personal information.

If we ever expand processing to include identifiable data (for example optional accounts), this document will be updated before changes go live.

1. Information We Collect

PolySputnik is designed to provide free, unrestricted access to prediction market intelligence. We do not require registration or collect personal information to use our platform.

Anonymous Usage Data: We collect anonymous analytics data such as page views, feature usage, and interaction patterns to improve our platform. This data cannot be used to identify individual users.

2. How We Use Your Information

The anonymous data we collect is used exclusively to:

• Improve platform performance and user experience
• Analyze feature usage and optimize our algorithms
• Monitor system health and detect technical issues
• Generate aggregated statistics for platform improvements

3. Third-Party Services

Our platform integrates with external services to provide market data and intelligence. These services have their own privacy policies:

• Market Data Providers: We fetch publicly available prediction market data from external APIs. No personal information is shared with these providers.
• Social Media Platforms: We analyze publicly available social media posts for sentiment analysis. No user credentials or private data is accessed.
• AI Services: We use third-party AI services to generate predictions. Only market data (no personal information) is processed.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of these third-party services independently.

4. Cookies and Tracking

We use minimal cookies to ensure platform functionality:

• Essential Cookies: Required for core functionality such as session management and preferences.
• Analytics Cookies: Anonymous usage data to understand how users interact with our platform.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or third-party marketing pixels.

5. Data Retention

Anonymous usage data is retained for up to 90 days for analytical purposes. After this period, data is automatically deleted or aggregated into non-identifiable statistics.

6. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect our platform and data:

• HTTPS encryption for all connections
• Secure server infrastructure with regular security updates
• No storage of sensitive personal information
• Regular security audits and monitoring

7. Your Privacy Rights

Since we do not collect personal information, traditional data access and deletion requests do not apply. However, you have the right to:

• Use the platform anonymously without registration
• Block cookies through your browser settings (may affect functionality)
• Contact us with privacy concerns or questions
• Escalate a complaint to a regulator if you believe your rights were infringed

8. International Users & GDPR

PolySputnik is accessible globally. We comply with GDPR principles by:

• Minimizing data collection (no personal data required)
• Providing transparency about data usage
• Implementing appropriate security measures
• Respecting user privacy by default

9. Children's Privacy

PolySputnik is not intended for users under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Prediction markets involve financial risk and are not suitable for minors.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last updated" date. Continued use of the platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Supervisory Authorities & Complaints

Residents of the European Economic Area or United Kingdom may lodge a complaint with their local data protection authority or with the Estonian Data Protection Inspectorate (info@aki.ee), our lead supervisory authority. California residents may contact us with "CCPA Request" in the subject line to exercise disclosure or deletion rights as defined by the California Consumer Privacy Act.

We will acknowledge privacy complaints within five business days and aim to provide a final response within thirty days.
