Your wallet address, transaction history, and NFT ownership data are permanently recorded on the blockchain and accessible to anyone. We do not control this public data.

   5. Aggregated Data: We may share anonymized, aggregated data that does not identify individual users for research or marketing purposes.

5. Data Security

   1. We implement industry-standard security measures including encryption, firewalls, and secure server infrastructure to protect your information.
   2. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.
