This policy applies to blink.network and related BLINK services, including the BLINK blockchain network, developer tools, dashboards, and tokenization interfaces.
By using our services, you agree to the practices described in this policy. If you do not agree, please do not use our services.
2. Information we collect
We collect different types of information depending on how you interact with BLINK:
- Website visitors: IP address, browser type, device information, pages visited, referral URLs, and cookies or similar tracking technologies.

3. How we use information
We use the information we collect to operate, secure, and improve BLINK services. Specific purposes include:
- Service provision: providing access to the network, dashboards, APIs, and tokenization tools.
- Compliance: verifying identity status, screening transactions, generating audit trails, and meeting regulatory obligations.

4. Data sharing
We do not sell personal information. We may share data in the following circumstances:
- Regulators and supervisors: when required by law or to fulfill BLINK's compliance mission, we may share compliance-relevant data with competent authorities.
- Auditors: third-party auditors may review data to verify reserves, identity attestations, or audit trails.
- Service providers: trusted partners who help us operate infrastructure, analytics, customer support, and security services.
- Partners: with your consent or when necessary to complete a tokenization or partnership process you initiated.
- Legal requirements: when necessary to comply with applicable law, enforce our terms, or protect rights and safety.
5. Data security
We implement technical and organizational measures to protect your information:
- Encryption in transit and at rest for sensitive data.
- Access controls limiting who can view or process personal information.
- Audit trails logging access and changes to compliance-critical data.
- Regular security reviews, monitoring, and incident response procedures.
6. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights regarding your personal information:
- Access: request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.

8. Blockchain data
BLINK is a blockchain network. Transactions, smart contract interactions, and wallet addresses are recorded on-chain. This data is public, immutable, and generally cannot be deleted.
While we may associate off-chain identity attestations with on-chain addresses for compliance purposes, the underlying blockchain data remains publicly visible. Users should be aware that on-chain activity is permanent and transparent by design.
9. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services, legal requirements, or operational practices. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date and may notify users through the website or other channels.
Continued use of BLINK services after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
