pump.news takes your privacy seriously. Please read the following to learn more about our Privacy Policy. Any and all use or access of the Application is subject to the collection, use, and sharing of your information as described in this Privacy Policy.

What does this Privacy Policy cover?

This Privacy Policy covers our treatment of personally identifiable information (“Personal Information”) that we gather when you are accessing or using our Application. It does not apply to the practices of companies we don’t own or control, or people that we don’t manage, even if they are accessed from or through the Application. We may gather various types of Personal Information from our users, as explained in more detail below, and we use this Personal Information internally in connection with our Application, including to personalize, provide, and improve our services, to fulfill your requests for certain products and services, and to analyze how you use the Application. In certain circumstances, we may also share some Personal Information with third parties and in some circumstances, Personal Information may be made publicly available, but only as described below.

If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence, you may use the Application only with the consent of or under the supervision of your parent or legal guardian. We do not intentionally gather Personal Information from users who are under the age of 13. Consistent with the requirements of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA), if we learn that we have received any information directly from a child under age 13 without first receiving his or her parent's verified consent, we will use that information only to respond directly to that child (or his or her parent or legal guardian) to inform the child that he or she cannot use our Application and subsequently we will delete that information.

Will pump.news change this Privacy Policy?

We're constantly trying to improve our Application, including how we approach privacy matters, so we may need to change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updates to this Privacy Policy will be posted on this page no later than the effective date of the updates. We may, but may not always, provide advanced notice or otherwise affirmatively notify of changes to this Privacy Policy. If you use the Application after any changes to the Privacy Policy have been posted, that use or access is subject to the updated terms of this Privacy Policy. Collection and use of Personal Information is subject to the Privacy Policy in effect at the time the information is collected or used.

What Information does pump.news Collect?

Information You Provide to Us: We receive and store any information you knowingly or voluntarily provide to us. For example, this includes information you provide when you connect a Wallet such as

information regarding your transaction history on a Network, information you provide each time you wish to make a transfer of Virtual Assets through the Application, or usage information, such as information about how you use the Site and interact with us. Additionally, we may collect:

• Browser Plugin: Browser Fingerprint: Collected when you open the app for user identification and product data analysis. This collection is mandatory and the information cannot be cleared. Wallet Address and Transactions: Collected during transaction risk interception, mandatory for analysis, and cannot be cleared. However, transaction data can be turned off in the settings and cleared. Dapp Domain Visits: Collected when transaction risk interception detects danger, mandatory for marking risky websites and cannot be cleared.
• Mobile App: Device ID: Collected upon app launch for user identification and product data analysis, mandatory and cannot be cleared. Wallet Address: Collected when you connect your wallet within the app, mandatory for product data analysis and cannot be cleared. Transactions and Dapp Domain Visits: Collected during transaction risk interception, not mandatory and can be turned off and cleared.
• Dashboard Website: Wallet Address: Collected when you connect your wallet to record user subscription entitlements, mandatory and cannot be cleared. User Email: Collected when you add a subscription email for wallet address updates, not mandatory and can be cleared.

This information is necessary for the operation of our services, to personalize your experience, and to ensure the security of your transactions. By connecting your Wallet and using our Sites, you acknowledge that your transaction history and other associated information will be accessible to us and may also be publicly available as required by the nature of the Networks.

Information Collected Automatically: Whenever you interact with certain parts of our Application such as our Site or Site, we automatically receive and record information on our server logs from your browser or device, which may include your IP address, geolocation data, device identification, “cookie” information, the type of browser and/or device you’re using to access our Sites, and the page or feature you requested.

We typically collect this information through a variety of tracking technologies, including cookies, embedded scripts, web beacons, file information, device IDs or fingerprints, and similar technology (collectively, “tracking technologies”). “Cookies” are identifiers we transfer to your browser or device that allow us to recognize your browser or device and tell us how and when pages and features in our Site are visited and by how many people. You may be able to change the preferences on your browser or device to prevent or limit your device’s acceptance of cookies, but this may prevent you from taking advantage of some of our features. If you click on a link to a third-party website or service, such third party may also transmit tracking technologies to you. Again, this Privacy Policy does not cover the use of tracking technologies by any third parties, and we aren’t responsible for their privacy policies and practices. Please be aware that tracking technologies placed by third parties may continue to track your activities online even after you have left our Sites.

We may use this data to customize content for you that we think you might like, based on your usage patterns. We may also use it to improve the Application - for example, this data can tell us how often users use a particular feature of the Sites, and we can use that knowledge to make the Application interesting to as many users as possible.

Do Not Track Policy: Your browser may offer you a “Do Not Track” option, which allows you to signal to operators of websites and web applications and services (including behavioral advertising services) that you do not wish such operators to track certain of your online activities over time and across different websites. Do Not Track signals are set on a browser-by-browser basis, so you must set them on every browser you use if you do not wish to be tracked.

We do not track our users over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore we do not respond to Do Not Track requests. Remember that this is just our Do Not Track policy, and we can’t and don’t make any promises about how third parties react when you set this signal on your browser, including any third-party sites we may link to for your convenience or information. You should always review the Privacy Policy and specifically, the Do Not Track policy, of a third-party site to understand how they will respond to Do Not Track requests.

Information we will never collect: We will never ask you to share your private keys to your Wallet or other security information that could be used to access your Wallet without your explicit consent and action. Never trust anyone or any site that asks you to enter your private keys or similar security information.
