3. How We Collect Your Data

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)
• Analytics platforms (e.g., Plausible, Google Analytics – with anonymization where possible)
• Blockchain validators and smart contracts as part of protocol usage

We ensure these providers adhere to data protection obligations under relevant laws.
