7. Blockchain-Specific Data and Privacy
In connection with our Blockchain functionalities, Puffpaw may collect and process blockchain-related data, including but not limited to:
- Public Wallet Addresses: We may associate your wallet address with your user profile to facilitate blockchain-based interactions and rewards. Wallet addresses are pseudonymous, but may be linked to personal data based on usage patterns.
- On-Chain Activity: We may analyze your on-chain activity (e.g., token holdings, NFT interactions, or smart contract usage) to customize your user experience or enforce platform rules.
- Connected Wallets: When connecting wallets (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect), no private keys are ever collected or stored by us. Wallet signatures are used solely for authentication or transaction verification.
