Welcome to Blockchains DNA ("we," "our," or "us"). We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring transparency about how we collect, use, and safeguard your information. This Privacy Policy explains our practices regarding data collection and usage on our educational platform.
By accessing or using Blockchains DNA, you agree to the terms outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with our practices, please do not use our platform.
We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:
When you visit our platform, we may automatically collect:
We use cookies and similar technologies to enhance your experience, analyse site traffic, and improve our services. You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings.
When you subscribe to our newsletter we collect your email address, the site you signed up from and, at the moment you request, confirm or withdraw consent, your IP address, browser type and the version of the consent wording you saw. We process this on the basis of your consent (UK GDPR Article 6(1)(a) and PECR Regulation 22): you give it by clicking the confirmation link we email you (double opt-in) and can withdraw it at any time using the unsubscribe link in every newsletter email.
Two processors act on our behalf: Cloudflare, which hosts the signup service (Workers and D1) and runs Cloudflare Turnstile in invisible mode to check that a request comes from a person rather than a bot — its processing is described in Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum; and Resend, which delivers the confirmation, welcome and newsletter emails.
Unconfirmed signups are deleted after 30 days. A confirmed subscription is kept until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it; the record of when you consented and when you withdrew is kept for 24 months so that we can evidence it, and an irreversibly hashed form of your address stays on our do-not-mail list so you are not re-added by mistake. You can ask us to erase your newsletter data at any time using the contact details in section 12.
We use collected information for the following purposes:
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:
We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:
However, no method of transmission over the internet is 100% secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security but strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your data.
Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:
To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.
We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When data is no longer needed, we securely delete or anonymise it.
For the newsletter specifically: unconfirmed signups are deleted after 30 days; a confirmed subscription is kept until you unsubscribe or request deletion; the record of your consent and of your unsubscribe is kept for 24 months; and a hashed, irreversible form of your address remains on our do-not-mail list indefinitely (see section 2.4).
Your information may be transferred to and processed in countries other than your country of residence. We ensure appropriate safeguards are in place to protect your data in accordance with this Privacy Policy and applicable data protection laws.
Our platform is not intended for individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected information from a child, please contact us immediately, and we will take steps to delete such information.
Our platform may contain links to external websites not operated by us. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites. We encourage you to review their privacy policies before providing any personal information.
We may update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. We will notify you of significant changes by posting the updated policy on this page with a revised "Last Updated" date. Continued use of our platform after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
