Privacy Policy

Polaris is a U.S.-based platform that enables users to swap cryptocurrency between wallets on different networks. We serve users worldwide and comply with relevant privacy and data protection laws, including GDPR and CCPA.

Data We Collect

When you visit or use Polaris, we collect data you provide directly—such as your email address and support requests—as well as public blockchain information like wallet addresses, transaction IDs, and timestamps relating to your swaps. We also automatically collect device and log data including IP address, browser type, and usage patterns to monitor and maintain the service.

Use of Analytics and Monitoring Tools

We employ Amplitude Analytics to understand user flows and feature usage, and Datadog to detect errors and track performance. In both cases, data is collected only to improve product functionality and stability. Amplitude sets cookies tied to anonymized user IDs for session tracking. Datadog’s RUM tool relies on first-party cookies to collect session data with user consent and enables GDPR/CCPA‑compliant performance monitoring

How We Use Your Data

Data is used to process your swap transactions, enhance product features, resolve operational issues, deliver customer support, and prevent fraud. We never sell your data. When necessary, we share data under contractual privacy terms with service providers such as Amplitude, Datadog, and host providers. We may also disclose information to legal authorities when compelled by law or to protect the rights and safety of our users or the public.

International Data Transfers

Since we operate out of the U.S., your data may be transferred internationally. We use contractual safeguards like Standard Contractual Clauses to protect your personal information when moved across borders.

Data Retention

We retain analytics and usage data for up to two years to support product development and stability. Blockchain-related data and logs are kept as required for operational or legal reasons. You can request deletion of your personal data at any time, though we may retain certain data if required by law.

Security Measures

We employ industry-standard security protocols, including TLS encryption in transit and encryption at rest. Access to data is restricted to authorized personnel, and we conduct regular audits to ensure data integrity.

Children’s Privacy

Polaris is not designed for minors under 18. If you are under 18, please do not use our services. We do not intentionally collect data from children.

Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your data, and to withdraw consent. To exercise any rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We aim to respond promptly, within legally required timelines.

Updates to This Policy

As Polaris is in beta, this policy may change. We will update the “Last updated” date, notify users of material changes, and seek consent where required.
