Privacy policy
What Empect records about you, why, and who can see it. In short: your coldkey, what you set, what you sign, what the chain shows, and the addresses your requests came from.
Last updated November 6, 2026
1. What this covers
This policy explains what information Empect (empect.co) collects, why, how long it is kept and who can see it. It applies to visitors and to the three kinds of account: subnet owners, investors and escrows.
2. What we collect
| Information | When | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Your coldkey address | At sign-up, and for escrows when the collateral coldkey is linked | It is your account. It appears on term sheets, deals and profiles to the people allowed to see them. |
| Signatures over the challenges and term sheets you sign | Each sign-in and each signed deal | Proof that the address agreed; kept with the deal record. |
| Your subnet's netuid and name | Owner sign-up | To check ownership on the chain and to price your sheet. |
| Discord account id and username | When you sign in with Discord or link it | The escrow's account identity; a contact badge for owners and investors. We receive only the id and username; no e-mail, no messages, no token is kept. |
| X and Telegram handles | If you enter them | Shown on your profile to people allowed to see it. |
| Term sheets, wishlist, visibility rules, fee settings | As you set them | To run the Service as you configured it. |
| Deal records: terms, offers, messages, signatures, chain observations, payouts | During a deal | The record both parties and the escrow rely on. |
| Chain data about your coldkey: balance, stake positions, transfers that match a deal | At sign-up (investor balance), for visibility rules, and while a deal is open | Read from the public Bittensor chain to apply the rules and confirm transfers. |
| Network address, country, browser type, time of each action | Each request that signs you in or changes something | Security and abuse prevention; an audit trail of account activity. |
We do not collect names, e-mail addresses, documents, payment details or wallet seeds, and we never ask for a private key.
5. How long we keep it
Account and deal records are kept for as long as the account exists and for as long afterwards as the parties to a deal may reasonably need the record. Security and audit logs are kept for ninety days. Chain snapshots used for charts are kept as aggregate market data without reference to accounts.
6. Your choices and rights
You can change your handles, wishlist, visibility rules and fee settings at any time from your profile, and unlink Discord unless it is your escrow account itself. You can ask us to delete your account; deal records in which other users have an interest may be retained in a form that still identifies the coldkeys involved, because the parties rely on them. Depending on where you live you may have rights to access, correct, export or erase information about you, and to complain to a supervisory authority.
7. Security
Traffic is encrypted in transit. Sessions are signed and expire. Signatures are verified on the server; wallets are never connected to the site. Access to the server and its logs is limited to the operator. No system is perfectly secure, and you remain responsible for your own keys.
8. Changes
We may update this policy; the date above changes when we do, and material changes are announced on the Service.
