We share personal information with third-party service providers that assist us in operating the Services, including providers of hosting, cloud infrastructure, analytics, Digital Wallet screening and compliance, customer support, email communications, and security services.

The 0G ecosystem operates on blockchain networks, including 0G Chain. You acknowledge and agree that:

(a) Blockchain transactions are inherently public. When you stake, delegate, bridge, transfer tokens, or interact with smart contracts on 0G Chain, your Digital Wallet address and transaction details are recorded on the applicable public blockchain and are visible to anyone.

(b) On-chain data associated with governance participation, including votes and proposals, is publicly visible on the blockchain.

(c) Even after you cease using the Services, on-chain data associated with your wallet address, including transaction history, staking records, and governance activity, will remain on the blockchain permanently.

(e) Interactions with decentralized protocol components (including 0G Storage, 0G Compute, and 0G Data Availability) may result in on-chain data that persists indefinitely and is outside the Company's control.

We use the following technologies to collect information and improve the Services:

Please note that cookie-based opt-outs must be applied separately in each browser and on each device you use.

Do Not Track ("DNT") is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. Please note that we do not respond to or honor DNT signals or similar mechanisms transmitted by web browsers. We will reassess this practice as industry standards develop.

We will process your request in accordance with applicable law and may require you to verify your identity before fulfilling your request. If your personal information is subject to the data protection laws of the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Please note that certain personal information may be exempt from these rights under applicable law, and the Company cannot modify or delete information recorded on a public blockchain.

Even if you opt out, we may still send you non-promotional communications related to your use of the Services, such as transaction confirmations, security alerts, governance notifications, and administrative notices.

Zero Gravity Labs, Inc. is incorporated in Delaware and operates globally. Personal information processed by us may be transferred, processed, and stored anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, the United States or other jurisdictions, which may have data protection laws that are different from the laws where you live.

Where personal information is transferred from the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, or Switzerland to a jurisdiction that does not provide an adequate level of protection under applicable data protection laws, we implement appropriate safeguards, including the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (June 2021 version), the UK International Data Transfer Addendum where applicable, and other appropriate safeguards recognized under applicable data protection law.

For more information about the safeguards we use for international transfers of your personal information, please contact us at privacy@0g.ai.

We retain your personal information for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, including to provide the Services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, enforce our agreements, and pursue our legitimate business interests.

When determining the appropriate retention period, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information; the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure; the purposes for which we process the information; whether we can achieve those purposes through other means; and applicable legal requirements.

When personal information is no longer necessary for any of these purposes, we will delete or anonymize it, or, if deletion or anonymization is not possible (for example, because the information is stored on a blockchain), we will securely store it and isolate it from further processing until deletion is possible.

We implement appropriate administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, alteration, and destruction. These measures include access controls, encryption of data in transit and at rest, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures.

However, no method of transmission over the Internet or electronic storage is completely secure. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your personal information, and you use the Services at your own risk. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your Digital Wallet, including your private keys and seed phrases.

In the event of a security breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you and any applicable regulatory authorities as required by applicable law.

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of eighteen (18), or such higher age as required by applicable law. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided personal information through the Services without your consent, please contact us at privacy@0g.ai. If we become aware that we have collected personal information from a minor in violation of applicable law, we will take steps to delete such information promptly.

This section applies only to individuals located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland whose personal information is subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("EU GDPR") or the UK General Data Protection Regulation ("UK GDPR").

Where processing is necessary for our legitimate interests, provided those interests are not overridden by your privacy rights and freedoms, for example, to improve the Services, conduct analytics, ensure security, prevent fraud, advance decentralized AI research, and enforce our policies.

(c) Compliance with Legal Obligations. Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, for example, to conduct sanctions screening, respond to legal processes, or fulfill regulatory reporting requirements.

(d) Consent. Where you have given your explicit consent to the processing, for example, to receive marketing communications or to participate in AI-related programs involving data processing. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

In addition to the rights described in Section 6, if you are located in the EU or UK, you have the right to:

(a) lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority in the EU member state or UK country where you reside or where you believe a violation has occurred;

(b) request information about the appropriate safeguards used for international data transfers; and

(c) object to processing based on legitimate interests, in which case we will cease processing unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
