Our Platform was built with your privacy in mind. This Privacy Policy ("Policy") describes how we at Mint Gøld Dust collect, use, share, and secure your Personal Information when you visit the Mint Gøld Dust Platform (https://www.mintgolddust.com) (the "Platform") or create, buy, transfer, or trade unique Mint Gøld Dust items in our Market (the "Market").

Personal Information We Collect

We may collect information reasonably capable of identifying you as an individual ("Personal Information"). Personal Information does not include anonymous or aggregate information that does not identify you as an individual.

• Creating a User Account : If you sign up to use Platform, we collect your Ethereum wallet address and username. You may elect to provide your email address, biographical information, and a website url or social links.
  • In particular, MetaMask and other wallets provide us with your Ethereum address and certain other information you choose to share with MetaMask and other wallets. These third party companies may supply us with Personal Information. We may add this to the information we have already collected from you via our Platform in order to improve it. We do not collect Personal Information automatically, but we may tie the information that we collect automatically to Personal Information about you that we collect from other sources or that you provide to us.
• Applying as an Artist : If you want to join the world's top digital artists in our Market, we collect your first and last name, email address, a short application video, Ethereum wallet address, and information about your art in a separate Artist application on the Platform.
  • We hold the right to assess all Artist applications and approve applications at our sole discretion. Once your Artist application is approved, we will create your Artist account with an Artist description based on information from your application.
  • As part of your Artist account, we may display widgets that direct to your third party social media accounts that you provide as part of your application.
• Visiting the Platform or Market : We collect analytics data when you access or use the Platform. We may use third party consent management services (such as Segment, Data Privacy Manager, and CookiePro) to collect and record your customized tracking preferences, such as entirely opting out of non-essential tracking or selectively opting out of categories of information processing tools.
  • We continuously monitor user activity on the Platform to ensure adherence to laws, regulations, and our Terms of Use. As such, we may collect information from you, including your Internet Protocol (&quout;IP") address. We may also collect your browser type, operating system, domain name, and interactions on the Platform.
  • We use third party service providers (such as Sentry, Segment, Google Analytics, and Heap) to manage and analyze user activity on the Platform so that we can better tailor the Platform to your needs. Such service providers may collect IP addresses, browser type, Internet service provider ("ISP"), referring/exit pages, operating system, date/time stamp, clickstream data, and user profile information (if you are logged in). The service providers may store and use this data to make graphs to help us understand user behavior on the Platform.
  • Like many online services, we use Cookies to collect information. See our Cookies Policy below for more information about the Cookies we use and what data they may collect.
  • We also may use tracking pixels (also referred to as clear GIFs, web beacons, or web bugs). Tracking pixels are tiny graphic images with a unique identifier, similar in function to Cookies, that are used to track online movements of web users. In contrast to Cookies, which are stored on a user's computer hard drive, tracking pixels are embedded invisibly in webpages.
• Corresponding with Us : We may collect records copies of your correspondence if you contact us, as well as your responses to surveys that we might ask you to complete for research purposes.
• Live Chatting : We use the third party live chat provider Intercom to connect with you in real time. We may collect records and copies of any live chats in which you engage with us.
