1. Scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy applies to personal information processed through the official Lenin Coin website, email communications, contact forms and any project-operated community, governance or contribution features that link to this Policy.

It does not govern independent websites, wallets, exchanges, blockchain networks, social platforms or other third-party services.

2. Who Is Responsible for Your Information

The operators of the official Lenin Coin website determine how personal information collected through the website is used. References in this Policy to “Lenin Coin,” “we,” “us” or “our” refer to those website operators.

Privacy questions and requests may be sent to [email protected].

3. Information We May Collect

Information you provide directly

We may receive information when you:

• send an email or submit a contact form;
• request information or support;
• report fraud, impersonation or a security issue;
• submit research, documentation, translations, proposals or other contributions;
• participate in a future community, governance or contributor process.

This information may include your name, email address, organization, wallet address, message content, attachments and any other details you choose to provide.

Technical and usage information

When you visit the website, servers and security systems may automatically process technical information such as:

• Internet Protocol address;
• browser type and operating system;
• device type and approximate region derived from network information;
• requested pages, referral source and visit timestamps;
• error logs, security events and diagnostic information;
• cookie identifiers and consent preferences where cookies are used.

Information from public sources

We may review information available through public blockchain explorers, public governance systems, open repositories, public social channels or other openly accessible sources when necessary for security, governance, contribution review or fraud prevention.

4. How Information Is Collected

Information may be collected:

• directly from you;
• automatically through website servers, logs and security tools;
• through cookies or similar technologies where enabled;
• from service providers supporting hosting, email, security or website operation;
• from public blockchain records and other public sources.

We do not ask you to provide a seed phrase, private key or wallet recovery credential. Do not send this information through email, forms or community channels.

5. How We Use Personal Information

We may process personal information to:

• operate, maintain and secure the website;
• respond to questions, requests and reports;
• provide project, governance or contribution information;
• review submitted proposals, research or community contributions;
• detect fraud, abuse, impersonation, attacks and unauthorized activity;
• diagnose errors and improve website performance;
• maintain records of communications and project decisions;
• comply with legal obligations and protect legal rights;
• enforce the Terms and Conditions and community rules.

Personal information will not be used for materially incompatible purposes without an appropriate legal basis or additional notice where required.

6. Legal Bases for Processing

Where data-protection law requires a legal basis, we may rely on:

• consent, including optional cookie consent or requested communications;
• contractual necessity, where processing is required to provide a requested feature or administer agreed participation terms;
• legitimate interests, including website security, fraud prevention, communications, documentation and service improvement;
• legal obligations, including compliance, recordkeeping and lawful requests;
• protection of rights and safety, where processing is necessary to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or address serious misuse.

Where processing is based on consent, you may withdraw that consent. Withdrawal does not make earlier lawful processing invalid.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

The website may use cookies, local storage or similar technologies for essential operation, security, preference storage and, where enabled, audience measurement.

Non-essential cookies should be used according to the consent choices available on the website where required by applicable law.

More information about categories, purposes, duration and controls is provided in the Cookie Policy.

8. Public Blockchain Data

Public blockchain networks record transaction information that may include wallet addresses, token balances, transaction values, timestamps, contract interactions and governance activity.

Although a wallet address may not display a person’s name, it may become connected to an individual through public activity, exchange records, voluntary disclosure or blockchain analysis.

Public blockchain data may be permanent and replicated across independent systems. We may be unable to correct, restrict or delete information recorded on a decentralized network.

Do not publish a wallet address together with personal information unless you understand the privacy consequences.

9. How Information May Be Shared

Personal information may be shared with:

• hosting, infrastructure, security, email and technical service providers;
• professional advisers where legal, tax, security or compliance assistance is required;
• authorized contributors who need information to respond to a request or review a submission;
• public authorities where disclosure is legally required;
• parties involved in investigating fraud, security incidents or misuse;
• a successor operator as part of a lawful restructuring or transfer of website operations.

Service providers should receive only information reasonably necessary for their function and may be subject to contractual confidentiality or data-protection requirements where appropriate.

Sale and targeted advertising

Lenin Coin does not intend to sell personal information for monetary consideration. The website is not intended to operate as a data brokerage service. If these practices change, this Policy and any required user controls will be updated.

10. International Data Transfers

Website infrastructure, service providers and contributors may operate in different countries. Personal information may therefore be processed outside the country where you live.

Where required, reasonable transfer safeguards may be used, including contractual protections or reliance on legally recognized transfer mechanisms.

No internet-based or international data-transfer method can be guaranteed completely secure.

11. Data Retention

Personal information is retained only for as long as reasonably necessary for the purpose for which it was collected, including security, correspondence, contribution records, dispute resolution and legal compliance.

Retention periods may depend on:

• the nature and sensitivity of the information;
• whether a communication or submission remains active;
• security and fraud-prevention needs;
• legal limitation and recordkeeping periods;
• whether deletion is technically possible.

Server logs may be retained for limited operational and security periods. Important legal, governance or contribution records may be retained longer where necessary to preserve accountability.

Public blockchain information is not controlled by ordinary website retention procedures.

12. Data Security

Reasonable technical and organizational measures may be used to protect personal information against unauthorized access, loss, alteration, misuse and disclosure.

These measures may include access restrictions, software updates, secure connections, backups, monitoring, anti-spam controls and incident-response procedures.

No website, email system, wallet, database or transmission method is completely secure. You provide information at your own risk and should avoid sending unnecessary sensitive information.

13. Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to:

• request access to personal information held about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of eligible information;
• request restriction of certain processing;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• withdraw consent where processing relies on consent;
• request a portable copy of eligible information;
• complain to an applicable data-protection authority.

To make a request, email [email protected]. We may request reasonable information to verify your identity and protect other individuals.

Rights may be limited where information must be retained for legal obligations, security, fraud prevention, freedom of expression, legal claims or other lawful reasons.

We may be unable to delete or modify information recorded on a public blockchain or controlled by an independent third party.

14. California Privacy Notice

Where California privacy law applies, eligible residents may have rights to request information about collected personal information, access, correction, deletion and information about disclosure practices.

Lenin Coin does not intend to discriminate against a user for exercising an applicable privacy right.

Requests may be sent to [email protected]. An authorized agent may submit a request where permitted, subject to identity and authority verification.

15. Children’s Privacy

The website is intended for a general adult audience and is not designed to collect personal information from children knowingly.

Do not submit personal information through the website if you are below the minimum age required to consent to data processing in your jurisdiction.

A parent or guardian who believes that a child has provided personal information may contact [email protected].

16. Third-Party Websites and Services

The website may link to independent blockchain explorers, wallets, repositories, social networks, exchanges, analytics services or other third-party resources.

Third parties control their own information practices. Review their privacy policies and security terms before providing information or connecting a wallet.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to information processed independently by third parties.

17. Automated Decision-Making

The website is not intended to make decisions producing legal or similarly significant effects based solely on automated processing.

Automated security, spam or fraud-prevention systems may filter traffic or communications. Affected users may contact us where they believe a legitimate request was blocked incorrectly.

Future governance, eligibility or anti-sybil systems may involve automated analysis. Material processes should receive separate notice and safeguards before activation.

18. Changes to this Privacy Policy

This Policy may be updated to reflect changes in website functionality, data practices, service providers, project structure or applicable law.

The effective date at the top of the page identifies the latest published version. Material changes may also be communicated through the website where appropriate.

19. Contact and Privacy Requests

You may also have the right to contact the data-protection or privacy authority responsible for your location.
