Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 28 August 2026

1. Introduction

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.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

We may collect information that you voluntarily provide, including:

  • Email address (for newsletter subscriptions)
  • Contact information (if you reach out to us)
  • Feedback and survey responses

2.2 Automatically Collected Information

When you visit our platform, we may automatically collect:

  • Browser type and version
  • Device information and operating system
  • IP address (anonymised)
  • Pages visited and time spent on pages
  • Referral source

2.3 Cookies and Tracking Technologies

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.

2.4 Newsletter Subscriptions

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.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information for the following purposes:

  • Educational Services: to provide access to our blockchain education content
  • Communications: to send newsletters and updates (with your consent)
  • Platform Improvement: to analyse usage patterns and enhance user experience
  • Technical Operations: to maintain platform security and functionality
  • Legal Compliance: to comply with applicable laws and regulations

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information to third parties. We may share information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service Providers: with trusted partners who assist in platform operations (under strict confidentiality) — currently Cloudflare (hosting, the newsletter signup service on Workers and D1, and Turnstile bot protection; see Cloudflare's Turnstile Privacy Addendum) and Resend (newsletter delivery)
  • Legal Requirements: when required by law or to protect our rights
  • Business Transfers: in connection with mergers, acquisitions, or asset sales
  • With Your Consent: when you explicitly authorise sharing

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information:

  • SSL/TLS encryption for data transmission
  • Secure server infrastructure with regular security audits
  • Access controls and authentication mechanisms
  • Regular security updates and monitoring

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.

6. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights:

  • Access: request copies of your personal data
  • Correction: request correction of inaccurate or incomplete data
  • Deletion: request deletion of your personal data
  • Objection: object to processing of your personal data
  • Portability: request transfer of your data to another service
  • Withdraw Consent: unsubscribe from communications at any time

To exercise these rights, please contact us using the information provided below.

7. Data Retention

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).

8. International Data Transfers

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.

9. Children's Privacy

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.

10. Third-Party Links

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.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

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.
