Introduction

This Privacy Policy is designed to help you understand how Anim4rt, LLC (collectively with all of its affiliates, referred to as “Anim4rt”, “we” and “our”) collects, uses, and shares your personal information, and to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.

When you visit our website, various types of information are collected – including the IP address from which you are accessing the site, the version and type of browser used to access the site, the operating system used, domains, and request time. This information does not allow us to identify the identity of the user, and this is not our objective.

We use the information collected for statistical purposes only, which mainly allows us to improve the content and presentation of our website. Please note that we may collect additional data – such as name, postal and e-mail addresses, telephone number – which you voluntarily provide to us while browsing our site. You can also pay to use our services using a pseudonym or anonymized data, without providing us with the aforementioned personal data.

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information that we process – through our websites, mobile applications, associations that we operate, and any other service or interface owned or controlled by Anim4rt linked to this Privacy Policy (each being a “Service” and collectively, the “Services”). For the avoidance of doubt, Anim4rt does not control the blockchain protocol (“Protocol”) over which Non-Fungible Tokens (“NFTs”) are negotiable or usable and cannot monitor activity and data on the protocol, validation of transactions on the protocol, or use of the protocol. Please also note that any transaction via the protocol is public. As well as any wallet address with activity (whatever it is) on the protocol.

1. CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

We may revise this Privacy Policy from time to time at our sole discretion. If there is a material change to this Privacy Policy, a notification will be posted on this page. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Statement to learn how Anim4rt is protecting your information. You understand and agree that you will be deemed to have accepted the updated Privacy Policy if you continue to use our Services after the new Privacy Policy becomes effective.

Any collection of biometric information or identifiers is managed by our vendors, and we do not collect, access, or store any biometric information or identifiers through our Services.
