Katbot Privacy Policy

Last Updated: Oct 8, 2025

1. Overview

Katbot (“we,” “us,” or “our”) provides trusted, time-series data on the global economy, science, and society through MCP tools, EVM-based oracles, and REST APIs. Our services enable developers to build AI agents and DeFi applications that respond intelligently to real-world conditions.

This Privacy Policy describes how Katbot handles information collected from users (“you”) who access our website, APIs, and related services (collectively, the “Services”).

We are committed to privacy by design, data minimization, and user autonomy—our platform is built to function without requiring personally identifying information (PII).

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Non-Personal Data

When you access the Katbot website or APIs, we may collect limited technical data automatically, including:

  • Browser type, operating system, and device metadata.
  • Aggregated usage statistics such as request frequency, API endpoint access patterns, and latency metrics.
  • Blockchain wallet addresses (e.g., Ethereum address) used for authentication or access control.
  • IP address (temporarily, for security and rate-limiting purposes).

Note: Wallet addresses are considered pseudonymous identifiers, not personally identifiable information under most privacy regulations.

2.2 No Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Katbot does not collect, process, or store any PII such as:

  • Name, email address, or physical address
  • Government identification numbers
  • Biometric or geolocation data
  • Contact information of any kind

We have no way to contact users directly unless they voluntarily reach out through public channels (e.g., Discord, GitHub, or social media).

3. How We Use Data

We use non-personal and pseudonymous data for the following purposes:

  • Authentication: Verify ownership of a blockchain wallet (via MetaMask or equivalent Web3 providers).
  • Usage Analytics: Measure API request volume, performance metrics, and aggregate system usage to maintain and improve service reliability.
  • Security: Detect abusive or unauthorized access, enforce rate limits, and mitigate fraud.
  • Research & Development: Improve data services and design new features that enhance transparency and verifiability of our oracles and APIs.

All analytics are performed in aggregate form, never linked to any identifiable individual.

4. Data Retention

  • Wallet addresses and API usage logs may be retained for operational and auditing purposes.
  • Logs are typically stored for up to 90 days, unless required for security, compliance, or debugging.
  • Aggregated, non-identifiable statistics may be retained indefinitely for analytical purposes.

5. Data Sharing

Katbot does not sell, rent, or trade user information to third parties.

We may share aggregate, non-personal data (e.g., total API usage metrics) with:

  • Research partners studying decentralized systems
  • Ecosystem collaborators building on our public APIs

Any data shared externally is anonymized and stripped of any wallet or network identifiers.

6. Security

We take data security seriously and employ the following measures:

  • Encrypted transport (HTTPS / WSS) for all connections
  • Separation of metric data and authentication data in distinct storage systems
  • Regular key rotation and limited internal access
  • No storage of private keys or MetaMask credentials

Blockchain interactions are handled client-side, ensuring users retain control of their private keys.

7. User Rights

Because Katbot does not store PII, most traditional privacy rights (e.g., data correction or deletion) do not apply. However, users maintain full control over their wallet and on-chain identity.

Users may:

  • Disconnect their MetaMask or Web3 wallet at any time
  • Request deletion of any stored usage logs associated with their wallet address (subject to verification)

Requests can be sent via [Insert Contact Method or Public Issue Tracker].

8. Cookies and Tracking

Katbot uses no tracking cookies, no advertising pixels, and no cross-site tracking tools.

A minimal session cookie may be used to maintain a temporary authentication state during an active browser session. This cookie expires when the session ends and is never used for analytics or marketing.

9. Third-Party Services

Our platform may rely on third-party infrastructure or hosting providers (e.g., AWS, Cloudflare) to deliver our Services. These providers may process technical data solely for operational purposes under strict contractual privacy terms.

We do not use third-party analytics services that collect PII (such as Google Analytics).

10. Blockchain Transparency

Because Katbot interacts with public blockchains:

  • Some interactions are publicly visible and permanently recorded on-chain.
  • Users should understand that transactions sent via Ethereum or other networks cannot be deleted or altered by Katbot.

We encourage users to maintain separate wallet addresses for testing or production use as appropriate.

11. Policy Updates

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or applicable laws. Updates will be posted to this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.

If significant changes are made, we will announce them via our website or documentation.
