Introduction

At ChainDecode, we are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring a transparent, secure experience for all our users. This Privacy Policy explains our approach to data collection, which is designed to be minimal and privacy-focused. We believe in providing powerful blockchain analysis tools without compromising your personal information.

ChainDecode is designed with your privacy in mind. We do not collect, store, or process any personal information about our visitors, including but not limited to:

  • Names
  • Email addresses
  • Phone numbers
  • Physical addresses
  • Payment information
  • Social media profiles
  • Any other personally identifiable information

We do not require user accounts, registration, or login to use our smart contract analysis tools.

Information We Collect

Website Analytics (Google Analytics)

To improve our service and understand how visitors interact with our website, we use Google Analytics. This service collects anonymized data about website usage, including:

  • Pages visited and time spent on each page
  • Browser type and version
  • Device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
  • Geographic region (country/city level only)
  • Referring websites
  • General traffic patterns

Google Analytics processes this data on our behalf and helps us understand overall trends without identifying individual users. For more information about how Google processes this data, please visit Google's Privacy Policy.

If you prefer to opt out of Google Analytics tracking, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Security Monitoring

To protect our service from abuse and ensure stable operation for all users, we implement minimal security monitoring:

  • Rate Limiting: We temporarily log IP addresses to prevent automated abuse and ensure fair access to our smart contract analysis tool. These logs are used solely for rate limiting purposes and are automatically purged after a short period.
  • Error Logging: We may log technical errors that occur during the use of our service to improve functionality. These logs do not contain personal information.

This minimal data collection is essential for maintaining the security and reliability of our service and is not used for tracking or marketing purposes.

Cookies

ChainDecode does not use any first-party cookies for tracking, marketing, or advertising purposes. We do not use third-party advertising cookies or tracking pixels.

The only cookies that may be present on our site are:

  • Google Analytics Cookies: These are set by Google Analytics to measure website usage anonymously. You can learn more about these cookies in Google's cookie usage documentation.
  • Essential Functionality: If implemented in the future, we may use strictly necessary cookies for basic website functionality, such as remembering your preferences for the current session only.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the minimal data we process. This includes:

  • Using HTTPS encryption for all data transmission
  • Regular security reviews of our infrastructure
  • Limiting access to any collected data to authorized personnel only
  • Implementing industry-standard security practices

Third-Party Services

Our smart contract analysis tool interacts with public blockchain data through services like Etherscan and CoinGecko. These interactions:

  • Only query publicly available blockchain data
  • Do not transmit any personal information about you
  • Are subject to the respective privacy policies of these services

Children's Privacy

ChainDecode is not directed at children under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect any information from children under 13 years of age.
