Privacy Policy

Last updated: September 12, 2026 — placeholder text, pending legal review

1. Information we collect

When you contact ApeTrust through our website or email, we may collect information you provide directly, such as your name, email address, company, and the contents of your message. We do not knowingly collect sensitive personal data through our website.

2. Automatically collected data

Like most websites and hosted infrastructure, our servers and hosting providers automatically log certain technical information when you visit our site or interact with services we host, such as IP address, browser type, device information, and timestamps. We use this data for security, debugging, and operating our infrastructure reliably.

3. How we use information

We use the information you provide to respond to inquiries, scope potential engagements, and communicate about our services. We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Cookies and analytics

Our website may use minimal, privacy-respecting analytics to understand aggregate traffic patterns. Any such tooling will be disclosed here along with instructions for opting out where applicable.

5. Blockchain data

Some of our services involve building or hosting infrastructure for on-chain programs. Transactions, wallet addresses, and other data recorded on a public blockchain are inherently public, permanent, and outside of ApeTrust's control — they cannot be altered or deleted by us once confirmed on-chain. This Privacy Policy governs information ApeTrust itself collects and controls (such as contact details and hosting logs); it does not extend to data recorded on-chain by you, your users, or the protocols we build or host.

6. Third-party services

We may rely on third-party infrastructure providers (for example, hosting, email, or communication tools) to operate our website and business. These providers process data on our behalf and are expected to maintain appropriate safeguards.

7. Data retention

We retain contact and engagement-related information for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, or as required by law or an active client agreement.

8. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or request deletion of your personal information. To exercise these rights, contact us using the details below. Note that these rights apply to information ApeTrust holds about you directly, and cannot be used to alter or remove data already recorded on a public blockchain.

9. Children's privacy

Our website and services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can remove it.

10. International data transfers

ApeTrust and the third-party providers we rely on may process and store information in countries other than your own. Where required, we take reasonable steps to ensure such transfers are subject to appropriate safeguards consistent with applicable law.

11. Data security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information from unauthorized access, alteration, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify affected individuals and relevant authorities as required by applicable law.

12. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the date at the top of this page.
