We collect data:

  • Automatically via cookies or analytics tools
  • From your blockchain wallet when you connect to the protocol
We do not knowingly collect special categories of personal data unless you voluntarily provide them.

Blockchain-Specific Considerations

Mention Network is a decentralized protocol that interacts with public blockchains.
  • Wallet addresses and transaction data may be public and immutable, recorded permanently on a blockchain.
  • Right to Erasure and Rectification: These rights cannot be fulfilled for on-chain data due to the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain technology.
  • We encourage users to understand that by using decentralized applications, certain rights under GDPR may be technically limited.

International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed outside of the EEA/UK, including in jurisdictions without equivalent data protection laws (e.g., Hong Kong or the United States). When transferring data internationally, we use:
  • Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission
  • Transfers to countries with adequacy decisions
  • Where applicable, supplementary safeguards such as encryption and access controls

6. Third-Party Disclosures

We may share your personal data with the following categories of recipients:
  • Hosting providers and cloud infrastructure (e.g., Vercel, AWS)
  • Email service providers (e.g., MailerLite, Mailchimp)
