Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 10, 2026

Your privacy matters. Here's how we handle your data.

1. Introduction

doba ("we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your data.

Because doba is built on blockchain technology, some information is inherently public and cannot be deleted. We'll explain what's public and what's private below.

4.2 When We Share Information

Service Providers

We may share data with trusted third-party services that help us operate doba:

  • Cloud storage providers (for music files and images)
  • Analytics services (to understand usage patterns)
  • Email service providers (if you opt-in to notifications)
  • Blockchain infrastructure providers (RPC nodes, indexers, cross-chain bridges)

These providers are bound by confidentiality agreements and can only use data as instructed.

Public Blockchain

Transaction data is publicly visible across all blockchain networks. Anyone can see wallet addresses, NFT sales, and metadata.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or government request.

Business Transfers

If doba is acquired or merged, your information may be transferred to the new owner (you'll be notified).

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your data:

  • Encrypted data transmission (HTTPS/TLS)
  • Secure cloud storage with encryption at rest
  • Regular security audits and monitoring
  • Access controls and authentication

⚠️ Your Responsibility

We do not store your private keys or seed phrases. You are solely responsible for securing your wallet. If you lose your seed phrase, we cannot recover your funds or NFTs.

No system is 100% secure. While we do our best to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

  • Backup copies (deleted within 180 days)
