At $BRACKETS, we are committed to protecting your privacy through transparent data practices and advanced security. This policy explains how we handle your information across our Social and Web3 authentication systems.
1. Information Collection & Authentication
We utilize a dual-authentication system to provide a seamless and secure user experience.
A. Social Login (OAuth 2.0)
For general access and Free Leagues, we use OAuth social authentication (e.g., Google, Apple, X).
Passwordless Security: We never see, request, or store your social media passwords.
Data Collected: We only receive your Public Email Address and Username as provided by the social platform to identify your account.
B. Web3 Wallet Integration
To participate in Paid Leagues and process payouts, a Web3 wallet connection is required.
Public Data: We collect and store your Public Wallet Address to associate contest entries with your on-chain rewards.
Non-Custodial: We never have access to your private keys or seed phrases. All transactions are initiated and signed by you.
2. Advanced Fraud Protection & Tracking
To maintain the integrity of our contests and prevent "syndicate" play (multi-accounting fraud), we collect the following technical data:
IP Address Logging: We monitor IP addresses to ensure compliance with our Prohibited Jurisdictions list.
Device Fingerprinting: We store unique device identifiers (fingerprints) in our database. This allows us to detect and block bots and users attempting to bypass entry limits via multiple accounts.
3. KYC (Know Your Customer) & Cold Storage
To remain compliant with US standards and protect user identity, we implement a strict Cold Storage Protocol:
Identity Verification: All winners must provide government-issued ID to claim prizes.
Offline Security: Within 48 to 72 hours of submission, all KYC documentation is moved from our web-facing servers to secure offline servers (Cold Storage).
Air-Gap Protection: This ensures your sensitive personal documents are "air-gapped" and inaccessible via the public internet, providing the highest level of security against data breaches.

A. Third-Party Partners

We operate with a zero-tolerance policy regarding financial crimes.
Anti-Money Laundering (AML): We strictly comply with global AML standards.
Government Requests: If a formal legal request is made by a Relative Government Authority regarding suspected money laundering or illegal financial activity, we will share the necessary account details, IP logs, and wallet history.
Privacy Limitation: We do not share this specific compliance data with any private third parties or advertisers.
6. Your Rights & Data Deletion
