In short

  • Your wallet address and everything you do on-chain are public and permanent: anyone can read them on Arbitrum, and no one can delete them.
  • Connecting a wallet shares only its public address. We never ask for your seed phrase, private keys or a password, and we do not collect your name or email address.
  • The site measures visits through the named services below, and sets only the cookies listed below.

Introduction

Cosmic Signature is a procedural on-chain art protocol built on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2 network. As a decentralized application (dApp), it works differently from traditional web applications when it comes to data and privacy.

This Privacy Policy describes how we handle information in connection with your use of Cosmic Signature. By using our platform, you agree to the collection and use of information in accordance with this policy.

Information we collect

Wallet information

When you connect your Web3 wallet to use Cosmic Signature, we receive your public wallet address. It is needed to process transactions, display your NFTs, track your gestures and distribute allocations.

Transaction data

We read your interactions with the smart contracts, including gestures made, NFTs received, anchoring activity and allocation retrievals. All of this data is publicly available on the blockchain.

Usage data

We measure how the site is used: the pages viewed, how quickly they load, the referring site, and the country, browser and device type of a visit. The analytics services that do this are listed under Services we use.

How we use your information

Service delivery

Your wallet address and transaction data are used to provide the protocol services: processing gestures, showing your NFTs, distributing allocations and displaying your protocol statistics.

Platform improvement

We use aggregated usage data to fix problems and improve the site.

Communication

We do not collect email addresses or other contact details, so we do not contact you directly. Announcements, including security notices and changes to the protocol, are posted on X (opens in a new tab) and Discord (opens in a new tab).

Data security

Blockchain security

Protocol settlement occurs on Arbitrum, an Ethereum Layer 2 network. Connecting a wallet by itself is non-custodial and does not transfer assets. When you explicitly approve and sign a smart-contract action, however, that transaction can transfer assets to a protocol contract or lock them there until the applicable release or retrieval conditions are met.

Infrastructure security

The site is served only over HTTPS, from Vercel’s hosting platform. The smart contracts were independently audited; see Audits.

No passwords

We never ask for or store passwords. Authentication is handled entirely through your Web3 wallet.

Data sharing and disclosure

Public blockchain data

All blockchain transactions are public by nature. Your wallet address, gestures, NFT ownership and allocations are visible on the blockchain and through our platform.

Third-party services

The services listed under Services we use receive the data described there and process it under their own privacy policies, linked in the table.

Your rights and choices

Wallet control

You keep full control over your wallet and can disconnect it from the site at any time.

Blockchain permanence

Blockchain transactions are permanent and cannot be deleted. Once a gesture is made or an NFT is transferred, the record stays on the blockchain.

Cookie preferences

The site sets only the cookies listed under Cookies and browser storage. You can delete or block them in your browser settings; the site keeps working but forgets your palette and language.
