SquadsLink ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you use our website and services (the "Service").

1. Information We Collect

We may collect information about you in a variety of ways. The information we may collect on the Service includes:

A. Personal Data

When you connect your X (formerly Twitter) account to our Service, we automatically collect information that you have made public and that your privacy settings on X permit us to access, such as:

• Your X display name
• Your X username/handle (@handle)
• Your X profile picture
• Your unique X user ID

B. User-Provided Information

You may voluntarily provide us with additional information, including:

• Your Ethereum wallet address if you choose to add it to your profile.

C. Usage Data

To calculate leaderboard points, we collect information about your tweets that contain our specified keyword or handle. This includes publicly available engagement metrics such as views, likes, replies, and quotes associated with those specific tweets.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Create and manage your user account on our platform.
• Operate the leaderboard and calculate your points.
• Display your public X profile information (name, handle, profile picture) on our leaderboard.
• Manage your eligibility for the whitelist.
• Communicate with you about your account or our services.
• Prevent fraudulent activity and ensure the security of our platform.

3. Disclosure of Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share information we have collected about you in certain situations:

• Publicly on our Leaderboard: Your X display name, handle, and profile picture will be publicly visible on the leaderboard. Your wallet address is never made public.
• With Service Providers: We use third-party services for backend infrastructure, database management, and authentication. These providers only have access to your information to perform their tasks on our behalf.

4. Data Security and Storage

We use administrative, technical, and physical security measures to help protect your personal information. Your data is stored on secure servers. It is important to note that the information we store, such as your public X profile details, is based on data you have already made publicly available on that platform. While we have taken reasonable steps to secure the personal information you provide to us, please be aware that no security measures are perfect or impenetrable.

5. Your Rights and Choices

You have certain rights regarding your personal information:

• Access and Update: You can access and update most of your information through your X account settings. You can manage your wallet address directly on our platform.
• Account Deletion: You may request to delete your account by contacting us.
• Disconnecting Your Account: You can revoke our access to your X account at any time via your X application settings. If you do so, you will no longer be able to log in or participate in the leaderboard.
