Privacy
Policy

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect when you interact with the Kinerix pre-launch website (kinerix.gg), why we collect it, how long we keep it, and what rights you have over it.

We aim to collect the absolute minimum needed to operate this pre-launch waitlist. We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties.

The Founders waitlist is closed. No new sign-ups are accepted and no new waitlist data is collected. This policy describes the data we still hold for existing Founders and how it is handled.

1. Who Operates This Site

Kinerix is a pre-launch project. Operator information required under applicable transparency and consumer-protection laws is available on request. For all inquiries, contact: support@kinerix.gg. We respond to legitimate inquiries within 7 working days.

2. Data We Collect

2.1 Founders waitlist (now closed)

Sign-ups are closed. For Founders who joined while the waitlist was open, we hold the following, retained as described in section 4:

• Solana wallet address — required, used as your unique identifier for launch-day rewards
• X (Twitter) handle — optional, used to notify you on X when your rewards are ready
• Language preference — to send communications in your selected language
• Timestamp — when you signed up

2.2 When you verify as a Founder on Discord

Verifying your Founder status on our Discord server is optional. If you do verify, we store the following so we can link your sign-up to your Discord account and assign the correct Founder role:

• Discord user ID — the numeric ID Discord assigns to your account (not your username, not your email)
• Discord username at time of verification — for audit purposes only
• Verification timestamp — when you were verified
• Founder stage — your current stage in the Founders Path (Stage 1 on verification; further stages may be updated automatically based on in-game activity after launch)

This data is stored alongside your existing waitlist entry in our database. It is never shared with anyone outside the project and is never used for advertising or analytics.

Verification is currently performed manually: you post your wallet address in the Discord verification channel, and we match it against the waitlist database. We never ask for, and you must never share, your seed phrase or private key — see also our Risk Disclosure.

2.3 When you visit the site

We run no analytics and no page-view tracking. The only thing stored when you visit is your language preference, kept locally in your browser (see our Cookie Policy).

What we do NOT store: your raw IP address, real name, email, payment details, third-party tracking cookies, fingerprinting data, or any analytics that profile individual users.

3. Why We Collect It (Legal Basis)

Under the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), we process your data on the following legal bases:

• Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) — when you submitted the Founders waitlist form, you consented to us storing your wallet (and X handle if provided) for launch communications.

4. How Long We Keep It

• Waitlist data — kept until 30 days after Kinerix launches publicly, then deleted unless you become an active user under separate launch terms.
• Discord verification data — kept for the same period as your waitlist entry. Removed if you leave the Discord server or request deletion.
• Cookie consent record — stored locally in your browser, you can clear it any time via browser settings.

5. Where Your Data Lives

Founders waitlist data is stored on EU-based cloud infrastructure. The website is served as static content via an EU-based hosting provider and content delivery network.

For Founder verification, we use Discord:

• Discord — if you choose to verify as a Founder on our Discord server, Discord is the platform on which that interaction happens. Your Discord usage is governed by Discord's own Privacy Policy. We only store the data described in section 2.2 on our own infrastructure.

None of these services receive your other waitlist fields, and we do not allow them to track or profile you across sites.

Fonts: Web fonts (Bowlby One, Fraunces, DM Mono — all open-source under SIL Open Font License) are self-hosted on our own server. We do not load fonts from Google Fonts or any other third-party CDN. Your IP address is never transmitted to font providers.

6. Your Rights (GDPR)

If you are in the EU, EEA, UK, or Switzerland, you have the right to:

• Access — request a copy of the data we hold about you
• Rectification — correct inaccurate data
• Erasure — request deletion of your data ("right to be forgotten")
• Portability — receive your data in a machine-readable format
• Withdraw consent — at any time, with no effect on processing already done
• Lodge a complaint — with your national data protection authority

To exercise any of these rights, send an email from the address you signed up with — or include your wallet address in the request — to: support@kinerix.gg. We will respond within 30 days.

7. Cookies

We use only essential cookies (technically, browser localStorage entries):

• Your selected language
• Your cookie consent acknowledgement

We do not use tracking cookies, analytics cookies, advertising cookies, or any third-party scripts that profile users. Full details, including a complete list of every entry we set, are in our separate Cookie Policy.

8. Children

Kinerix is not directed at people under 18. We do not knowingly collect data from minors. If you believe a minor has provided us with data, contact support@kinerix.gg and we will delete it.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the project evolves toward launch. Material changes will be reflected in the "Last updated" date at the top. By continuing to use the site after changes are posted, you accept the revised version.
