Privacy Policy

Gryps is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in accordance with applicable law, decentralized best practices, and privacy‑by‑design principles. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and disclose information when you use our Services.

1. Introduction​

Gryps is committed to protecting your privacy and handling your data in accordance with applicable law, decentralized best practices, and privacy‑by‑design principles. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, process, and disclose information when you use our Services.

2. Data Collection​

2.1 Information You Provide Directly​

  • User Communications: When you contact Gryps (e.g., for technical support, bug reports, or feedback), we may collect your email address and the content of your message.
  • Wallet Address: To access and use the Services, you may be required to connect a blockchain wallet. Your public wallet address is collected and used to facilitate decentralized transactions and analytics.

2.2 Information Collected Automatically​

  • Device & Usage Information: We may collect information about the device (such as browser type, device OS, referring URLs, and system configuration) and how you interact with the platform for analytics, troubleshooting, and improvement purposes.
  • Interaction Data: Pages viewed, features used (e.g., cross‑chain swaps, analytics dashboards), and other events related to your use may be logged for usage analytics.

2.3 Information from Third Parties​

  • Third‑Party Protocols: If you interact with third‑party DeFi services (e.g., liquidity pools, bridges, analytics tools), those third parties may collect additional data in accordance with their own privacy policies.

2.4 Data Minimization​

We strive to minimize the collection and retention of personal data wherever feasible and default to pseudonymity wherever possible, consistent with privacy‑by‑design and regulatory best practices.

3. Use of Information​

3.1 Service Delivery​

We use data to:

  • Enable the operation of decentralized, non‑custodial trading functions
  • Provide analytics and performance feedback to users
  • Respond to user support inquiries

3.2 Security & Compliance​

We may use data to:

  • Monitor for, detect, and mitigate fraud, market abuse, or security vulnerabilities
  • Investigate suspicious activity or resolve disputes in accordance with applicable law or upon request from a regulator or competent authority
  • Comply with legal obligations (including anti‑money laundering laws where applicable)

3.3 Analytics and Improvement​

  • Aggregate, analyze, and anonymize usage data for platform development, monitoring, and service enhancement
  • Run statistical or performance analysis (e.g., measuring cross‑chain swap completion rates, liquidity utilization)

If you are located in the European Economic Area, processing of your personal data is based on the legal grounds of (a) contract necessity; (b) legitimate interests (fraud prevention, platform operation, service improvement); and (c) compliance with legal obligations.

4. Third‑Party Services and Integrations​

Your interactions with third‑party DeFi protocols, DEXs, analytics providers, or cross‑chain bridges are subject to their individual privacy policies. Gryps does not control these third parties and is not responsible for their privacy or security practices.

We may share aggregated, non‑identifiable usage information with partners or analytics services to inform technical improvements or compliance efforts.

5. Cookies and Similar Technologies​

Gryps does not use tracking cookies, fingerprinting, or behavioral analytics by default. However, some third‑party integrations (e.g., aggregated analytics providers, bug monitoring tools) may use cookies or similar technologies. Please consult the third party’s privacy disclosures for further details.

Users may opt out or block cookies through browser settings, noting that this could impair certain features.

6. Security Measures​

All communications between your device and Gryps utilize encryption‑in‑transit via TLS/SSL.

We implement security best practices such as role‑based access controls, regular security audits, separation of duties for infrastructure management, and bug bounty programs where feasible.

Gryps employs a privacy‑by‑design and privacy‑by‑default engineering philosophy to limit exposure and access to sensitive data and ensure compliance with international security standards.

7. Cross‑Chain Data Handling​

When you execute cross‑chain trades, limited transaction metadata may be relayed across integrated blockchain networks or partners for technical fulfillment. Transaction privacy is protected using cryptographic tools, and personally identifying information is not shared outside the original blockchain context when possible.

8. Data Retention​

Personal data is retained only as long as necessary to deliver functionality, meet legal requirements, or pursue legitimate interests. Non‑identifiable analytics data may be stored for service analysis or compliance auditability.

9. User Rights​

Depending on your jurisdiction (e.g., European Union under GDPR), you may have the following rights:

  • Access: The right to access the personal data Gryps holds about you
  • Rectification: The right to correct inaccurate information
  • Erasure: The right to request deletion of personal data, to the extent such data is not immutably recorded on blockchain. Due to the transparent and immutable nature of blockchain transactions, certain information (e.g., wallet addresses, transaction histories) may not be deletable, but Gryps can remove or redact associated off‑chain records or communications
  • Objection & Restriction: The right to object to or restrict certain types of processing, particularly for direct marketing
  • Portability: The right to receive a copy of your data in a commonly used format, to the extent technically feasible

Users may exercise these rights by contacting privacy@gryps.trade. Gryps will respond to requests in compliance with applicable law and decentralization limitations.

10. International Data Transfers​

Data processed through Gryps may originate from, be transmitted to, or be stored in jurisdictions with differing privacy and data protection laws, including outside the European Economic Area. By using the Services, you acknowledge and agree to any such transfers.

11. Children's Privacy​

The Services are not directed to individuals under the age of 18 or who lack the capacity to enter into contracts. Gryps does not knowingly collect information from children. If a parent or guardian becomes aware that a minor has used the Services or submitted personal identifying information, please contact Gryps to arrange for prompt deletion of that data to the extent possible.

12. Changes to the Privacy Policy​

Gryps reserves the right to modify this Privacy Policy at any time. Updated versions will be posted on the platform, with the "Last Updated" date revised. Continuing to use the Services after changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised terms.

13. Privacy Contact​

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or Gryps’ data practices, please contact privacy@gryps.trade.
