Privacy Policy

Bitnium operates as a decentralized ERC-20 utility token project built on the Ethereum blockchain. We are committed to protecting the privacy of all users, visitors, and participants who interact with our platform, smart contracts, decentralized exchange (DEX), and related services.

Because Bitnium is a decentralized protocol, we collect significantly less personal data than traditional financial platforms. However, certain interactions — such as contacting our support team or visiting our website — may involve the collection of limited personal or technical information. This policy describes exactly what we collect and why.

We only collect information that is necessary to operate, improve, and secure our platform. The categories of data we may collect include:

Any information collected by Bitnium is used strictly for the following purposes:

• Platform Operation: To facilitate the functionality of the Bitnium DEX, $BTNM smart contracts, and the TradeON application.
• Customer Support: To respond to enquiries, troubleshoot issues, and communicate important platform updates or security notices.
• Security & Fraud Prevention: To detect, investigate, and prevent suspicious activity, abuse, or unauthorized access to the platform.
• Analytics & Improvement: To understand how users interact with our website and platform, enabling us to improve the user experience and fix issues.
• Legal Compliance: To meet any legal obligations that may apply to our operations under applicable international laws and regulations.
• Community Communication: If you have opted in, to send you platform news, token updates, and relevant announcements.

We do not use your data for profiling, targeted advertising, or sell it to any third party for marketing purposes under any circumstance.

Bitnium is built on the Ethereum blockchain, which is a public, permissionless, and immutable ledger. Any transaction you perform — including purchasing, transferring, or swapping $BTNM tokens — is permanently recorded on-chain and is publicly visible to anyone with access to the Ethereum network.

This includes your wallet address, transaction amounts, timestamps, and smart contract interactions. Bitnium has no ability to alter, delete, or conceal this on-chain data. By interacting with the Bitnium smart contracts, you acknowledge and accept this inherent transparency of blockchain technology.

Our website (bitnium.org) may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to enhance your browsing experience and gather anonymised analytical data. The types of cookies we may use include:

• Essential Cookies: Required for the basic functionality of the website, such as session management and security features. These cannot be disabled.
• Analytics Cookies: Used to collect anonymised information about how visitors use our site (pages visited, time spent, referral sources). This helps us improve the platform.
• Preference Cookies: Used to remember your settings and preferences for a more personalised experience on return visits.

You may control or disable cookies through your browser settings at any time. Please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Bitnium website. We do not use cookies for targeted advertising or share cookie data with advertising networks.

To operate the Bitnium platform effectively, we may integrate with or link to certain trusted third-party services. These may include:

• Ethereum Blockchain Infrastructure: Services such as Infura, Alchemy, or similar providers that facilitate blockchain connectivity. These services may log your IP address when you initiate RPC calls.
• Web Analytics: Anonymised analytics tools to understand site traffic patterns. No personally identifiable information is shared.
• Etherscan: Public blockchain explorer used to display token and transaction data. Etherscan has its own privacy policy governing its services.
• DEX Aggregators: When using the Bitnium DEX or TradeON application, interactions may involve third-party liquidity providers or protocols governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

Bitnium is not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies before use.

Bitnium retains personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected, or as required by applicable law. Specifically:

• Support Emails: Correspondence retained for up to 24 months to assist with follow-up queries, after which it is securely deleted.
• Analytics Data: Aggregated, anonymised analytics data may be retained indefinitely as it cannot be linked to any individual.
• On-Chain Data: Blockchain transaction data is permanent and cannot be deleted by Bitnium or any party. This is a fundamental property of the Ethereum network.
• Subscription Lists: Retained until you unsubscribe. You may opt out at any time by contacting us at support@bitnium.org.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the following rights with respect to any personal data Bitnium holds about you:

• Right of Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you.
• Right to Rectification: Request correction of any inaccurate or incomplete personal data.
• Right to Erasure: Request deletion of your personal data where we no longer have a lawful basis to retain it (subject to legal obligations).
• Right to Restrict Processing: Request that we limit how we use your personal data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Data Portability: Request your personal data in a structured, machine-readable format where applicable.
• Right to Object: Object to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing or other purposes based on legitimate interests.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw it at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

Please note that these rights do not apply to on-chain blockchain data, which is immutable by design. To exercise any of the above rights, contact us at support@bitnium.org.

The Bitnium platform and all associated services are strictly intended for users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect, store, or process personal data from individuals under the age of 18.

If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at support@bitnium.org. We will take prompt steps to delete such data from our records upon verification.

Bitnium implements a range of technical and organisational measures to protect any personal information we hold against unauthorised access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include:

• Encrypted communications via HTTPS/TLS across all Bitnium web properties.
• Smart contracts developed and audited with security best practices to minimise on-chain vulnerabilities.
• Restricted internal access to any personal data collected, limited to authorised team members only.
• Regular security reviews and monitoring of our infrastructure for threats or anomalous activity.

No system is completely immune to risk. Bitnium cannot guarantee absolute security of data transmitted over the internet or stored digitally. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your own wallet, private keys, and seed phrases.

Bitnium reserves the right to update or modify this Privacy Policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices, platform features, or applicable laws. When we make changes, we will update the "Effective Date" at the top of this page and, where appropriate, notify users via our official communication channels.

Your continued use of the Bitnium platform after any changes to this Privacy Policy constitutes your acceptance of the updated terms. We encourage you to review this page periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
