It does not apply to the blockchain protocol, which is used for trading and using ShibaDoge Labs Tokens, fungible tokens, and non-fungible tokens.

We reserve the right to update this Privacy Policy at any time at our discretion. If there are any significant changes to this Privacy Policy, we will notify you in accordance with applicable law.

To engage in certain transactions or purchases, you may need to provide us or our third-party payment processors with payment information and allow us to connect to your digital wallet by providing us with your public wallet address. We will not ask you for or collect your private keys. We do not directly collect or store any payment card information entered through our Services or access your digital wallet, but we may receive information associated with your payment card information from our third-party payment processing providers, such as your billing details.

We may also collect personal information and details related to your activities on our Services.

Your communications with us. We may collect personal information such as your email address, phone number, or mailing address when you contact us for information about our Services, sign up for our newsletter, apply for a job, or communicate with us in any other way. We and other users of our Services may collect personal information that you provide or make available through interactive features such as messaging and chat features, ShibaDoge Labs communities on Telegram, Discord, other messenger applications, and social media pages. Any personal information that you provide on the public sections of these features will be considered "public" and will not be subject to the privacy protections stated in this policy, unless otherwise required by applicable law. Please be cautious when revealing any information that may identify you in the real world to other users.

Surveys. We may invite you to take part in surveys. If you choose to participate, you may be required to provide certain information, which may include personal information.

We may collect personal information automatically when you use our Services such as:

Automatic Data Collection. We collect certain information automatically when you use our Services, including your device's IP address, browser or device information, location information, and metadata about the content you provide.

Cookie Policy for Cookies and Other Technologies. We and third-party providers of content or features on our Services may use Technologies such as cookies and local storage to collect information automatically when you use our Services.

Cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device's browser by websites that you visit. They are designed to store user preferences and to make your browsing experience more efficient and personalized. For example, cookies can remember your login credentials so you don't have to enter them every time you visit a website, or they can remember items you added to your shopping cart on an e-commerce website. Cookies can also be used to track your browsing behavior and provide personalized recommendations based on your interests. Some cookies are only stored for the duration of your session, while others may be stored for longer periods of time. Overall, cookies are a widely used technology that helps to enhance and streamline your online experience. Cookies are not used when connecting your wallet as these are on-chain transactions.

Our uses of these Technologies fall into the following general categories:

Operationally Necessary. This refers to the use of Technologies that are necessary to provide you with access to our Services, applications, and tools. These Technologies may also be used to detect and prevent irregular behavior on our website, to prevent fraudulent activity, to enhance security, or to enable you to utilize our functionality.

Performance-Related. We may use Technologies to evaluate the performance of our Services, which includes using them as part of our analytic practices to gain insight into how people use our Services (as described in more detail under "Analytics" below).

Functionality-Related. We may use Technologies that enable us to provide you with enhanced functionality when you access or use our Services. This may involve recognizing you when you log into our Services or tracking your specified preferences, interests, or previously viewed items.

These tools help us better understand how individuals use our Services and enable us to continually improve and personalize the Services. Our Services may also include social media buttons, widgets, or other interactive programs from platforms such as Telegram, Discord, Tik Tok, Twitter, and Meta (Facebook/Instagram). These features may collect your IP address and the page you are visiting and may set a cookie to function properly. The privacy policy of the relevant company providing the platform (e.g., Alphabet and Google in the case of Google Analytics) will govern your interactions with these features.

C. Information Collected from Other Sources

If you access our Services through a third-party application, such as a social networking site, app store, or a third-party login service, we may obtain information about you from that third-party application that you have allowed us to access via your privacy settings.

We may share your information with third parties for different business purposes. This includes sharing your information to provide our Services, to protect us or others, or in the event of a significant business transaction, such as a merger, sale, or asset transfer, as described below.

A. Disclosures to Provide our Services

The categories of third parties with whom we may share your information are described below.

Use of Blockchain. We would like to inform you about the use of blockchain in transactions involving our NFTs. These transactions will take place on the relevant Protocol, and information about your transfers will be added to the blockchain. Due to the public nature of the blockchain, this information may be accessible to third parties. It is important to note that entries made on the blockchain are public, and someone may potentially identify or re-identify you through your public wallet address, which is pseudonymous. In some cases, external sources of information may be used to identify or re-identify you through the public wallet address. Therefore, any transaction you make on the blockchain has the potential to reveal information about you or identify or re-identify you, even if that information is not in the transaction itself.

Other Users of the Services and Parties You Transact With. Certain personal information you provide may be visible to other users of the Services, such as on a user profile or in generally accessible parts of contracts. Additionally, in order to facilitate transfers using the Services, we may need to share some of your personal information with the other party involved in the transaction.

Third Party Websites and Applications. You have the option to share your personal information or engage with third-party websites and applications, such as third-party electronic wallet extensions. However, please note that once your personal information is shared with a third-party website or application, it will be subject to their privacy policy. It is advisable to carefully read the privacy policy of each third-party website or application before sharing your personal information or interacting with them. Please be aware that we have no control over and are not responsible for how third-party websites or applications process your personal information.

Service Providers. We may disclose your personal information to third-party service providers who assist us in providing our Services. This includes service providers that offer us IT support, hosting, customer service, and related services.

This includes situations where we need to comply with law enforcement or national security requests, legal processes, such as a court order or subpoena, protect your, our, or others' rights, property, or safety, enforce our policies or contracts, collect amounts owed to us, or assist with an investigation or prosecution of suspected or actual illegal activity.

C. Disclosure in the Event of Merger, Sale, or Other Asset Transfers
