Privacy Notice
AI-drafted · not legal advice · independent legal review recommendedLast updated: 2026-07-05
This notice explains what data the Dank Frens service (dankfrens.com, the "Service") handles, and how. Our design goal is to handle as little personal data as possible.
1. No Accounts, No KYC
1.1. The Service has no user accounts, usernames, passwords, email registration, or identity verification (KYC). We do not ask for your name, email address, phone number, or government ID, and we have no mechanism to collect them.
1.2. You interact with the Service through a self-custodied wallet. We do not know, and cannot determine on our own, who controls any given wallet.
2. On-Chain Data Is Public by Nature
2.1. Wallet addresses, mints, trades, transfers, repaints, fee payments, collection metadata, and any optional prompt recorded at collection creation are written to the public Solana blockchain. This data is public, permanent, replicated worldwide, and outside our control. We cannot edit or delete it for you or for anyone.
2.2. If a wallet address is ever linked to your real identity (by you or by third parties), your on-chain history may become attributable to you. Consider this before transacting.
3. What We Process
3.1. IP addresses and request metadata. Our servers and infrastructure providers log IP addresses, user agent strings, and request timestamps for rate limiting, abuse prevention, and security. These logs are not used to build identity profiles.
3.2. Uploaded images. Images you upload for collections and repaints are stored on our infrastructure (and/or content delivery and storage providers) so they can be served to visitors. Uploaded content is treated as public: the purpose of uploading is display.
3.3. Session storage. The Service may use browser local storage or session storage for interface preferences and wallet connection state. We do not use it to track you across other websites.
3.4. Analytics. We use a privacy-preserving, cookieless analytics service (Vercel Web Analytics) that counts aggregate page views and visits so we can see overall traffic. It sets no cookies, builds no profile of you, and does not track you across other websites. We do not run any analytics that identifies individuals.
4. What We Do Not Do
4.1. We do not sell personal data. We do not rent, trade, or sell any data we process to anyone.
4.2. We do not run advertising networks or third-party ad trackers on the Service.
4.3. We do not send marketing emails, because we do not collect email addresses.
5. Third Parties That Touch Data
Operating the Service involves infrastructure providers that may process request data (such as IP addresses) as a technical necessity:
(a) RPC providers, which relay your transactions and reads to the Solana network;
(b) Hosting and content delivery providers, which serve the website and uploaded images;
(c) Storage providers, which hold uploaded images.
The cookieless analytics service in 3.4 processes aggregate technical data only. Each provider above processes data under its own terms. We select providers on the basis that they act as processors of technical data, not buyers of it.
Note that when your wallet communicates directly with a wallet extension, RPC endpoint, or the Solana network, that communication may not pass through us at all and is governed by those parties' practices.
6. Retention
6.1. Security and rate-limit logs (including IP addresses) are retained for a short operational window of up to ninety (90) days and are then deleted or aggregated.
6.2. Uploaded images are retained for as long as they are being served by the Service, plus a reasonable period for backups and caches. Images removed under our moderation or takedown processes are deleted from active serving, though cached or archived copies may persist briefly, and copies already saved by third parties or referenced on-chain are outside our control.
6.3. On-chain data is retained forever, by the nature of blockchains, and is not within our power to delete.
7. Your Choices and Rights
7.1. You can use the Service without providing any directly identifying information. The main data-minimizing choice is yours: which wallet you connect and what you upload.
7.2. Requests concerning content you uploaded (for example, removal of an image from our servers) can be sent to the X account @dank_frens (https://x.com/dank_frens) by direct message.
7.3. Regional privacy laws. The Service is not offered to persons located in, resident in, or incorporated in the Restricted Jurisdictions listed in the Terms of Service, Section 2.2, which include the Republic of Korea, the United Kingdom, and comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. Because we operate without accounts and process only the limited technical data described in this notice, we do not maintain the region-specific data-subject request procedures created by the EU General Data Protection Regulation, the UK General Data Protection Regulation, or United States state privacy laws such as the CCPA and CPRA. If you nonetheless have a request about the limited technical data we hold, wherever you are located, you may contact us at the X account @dank_frens (https://x.com/dank_frens) by direct message and we will consider it in good faith. This notice was drafted with AI assistance and has not been reviewed by a licensed attorney; independent legal review is recommended.
8. Security
We apply reasonable technical measures to protect the limited data we hold. No system is perfectly secure, and given that we hold no accounts, passwords, or private keys, the highest-value target (your wallet) is in your hands, not ours.
9. Children
The Service is not directed at anyone under 18, and we do not knowingly process data of minors. Since we collect no identity data, we rely on the eligibility representation in the Terms of Service.
10. Changes
We may update this notice by posting a revised version with a new "Last updated" date. Continued use after posting constitutes acceptance.
11. Contact
Privacy questions: the X account @dank_frens (https://x.com/dank_frens) by direct message (the same contact as in the Terms of Service, Section 17).
