1. Introduction

Welcome to EmelVerse. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle user data when you interact with our dApp.
By using EmelVerse, you agree to the terms outlined here.

2. Data We Collect

We do not collect personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, emails, or passwords. However, we process the following data to enable the functionality of our platform:

a. Wallet Information

When you connect your wallet (e.g., MetaMask), we access your public wallet address to facilitate transactions.
We do not have access to your private keys.

b. NFT Data & IPFS Storage

When you create an NFT, your selected image is uploaded to IPFS, a decentralized file storage system.
The generated IPFS hash (CID) is stored in our database.

c. Blockchain Transactions

All transactions, including NFT minting and payments, are recorded on-chain. These records are public and immutable.
Users can claim ETH from NFT sales with a single click, and such transactions are executed via smart contracts.

d. Database Storage (MongoDB)

We store NFT metadata, including the IPFS hash and smart contract address, in MongoDB for indexing and display purposes.
We do not store user private keys, personal identifiers, or off-chain financial data.

3. How We Use Your Data

The limited data we collect is used to:

a. Facilitate NFT creation, minting, and payments.
b. Store NFT metadata for seamless retrieval and display.
c. Allow collection owners to claim ETH from minted NFTs.

4. Third-Party Services

Our platform integrates with decentralized and third-party services, including:

a. IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) – Used for decentralized file storage.
b. Wallet Providers (MetaMask, WalletConnect, etc.) – Wallet interactions are handled directly by the provider.
c. MongoDB – Used to store NFT metadata, but not sensitive personal data.

5. Security & Data Protection

a. Decentralization: We do not store private keys, passwords, or personal financial data.
b. Smart Contracts: Transactions are executed via immutable smart contracts, reducing central points of failure.
c. MongoDB Storage: While we store NFT metadata, it does not include sensitive user information.
d. User Responsibility: Users are responsible for securing their wallets and private keys.

6. User Rights & Control

a. Full Control: Users can create, mint, and claim ETH without requiring personal registration.
b.Immutable Data: Since transactions and NFT metadata are stored on IPFS and the blockchain, we cannot alter or delete this information.
c. Wallet Disconnection: Users can disconnect their wallets at any time.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy periodically. Continued use of EmelVerse after changes means you accept the updated terms.
