Privacy Policy and Data Protection
Effective Date: 31/10/2025
Entity: CULTD ("CULTD", "we", "our", "us")
Contact: team@getcultd.com
Platform: https://dapp.getcultd.com
1. Who We Are
CULTD is a Web3 attention protocol and growth platform that allows users (“grinders”) to participate in community campaigns rewarding authentic social engagement.
We comply with UK/EU GDPR, UAE VARA/DIFC/ADGM, and US CCPA/CPRA principles for all users.
2. Scope
This Privacy Policy applies to users of the CULTD dApp, including:
- Grinders / community participants who connect wallets or social accounts.
- KOLs / influencers verified through the platform.
- Campaign hosts / clients who view leaderboard or scoring data.
This Policy includes data collected via the CULTD dApp (https://dapp.getcultd.com) and related GrindFi participation tools.
3. Data We Collect
We only collect the minimum data required for campaign participation and reward processing:
- Wallet data: address, transaction hashes (no private keys).
- Social data: X/Twitter handle, public post metrics (likes, RTs, comments, views).
- Engagement data: scores, campaign participation, leaderboard rank.
- Device data: IP address, browser type, and approximate region for security.
- contact data: email address.
- Optional contact data: Telegram handle if you choose to link it.
We never collect passwords or private keys.
4. How We Use Data
We process your data to:
- Operate the CULTD dApp and calculate scores.
- Allocate rewards from third-party projects.
- Detect fake/botted accounts and prevent abuse.
- Display leaderboards and analytics.
- Comply with applicable regulations (anti-fraud, data protection).
5. Legal Basis
Depending on your region:
- Contractual necessity: to operate the dApp and reward participation.
- Legitimate interest: to prevent fraud and maintain fair scoring.
- Consent: when linking your wallet or social account.
6. Automated Decisions
Our scoring system uses AI models to calculate:
- Authenticity, relevance, engagement, reach and influence scores. These determine campaign rewards and leaderboard rank. You can request human review or appeal at team@getcultd.com.
7. Data Sharing
We share limited data only with:
- Campaign hosts (for verifying participation).
- Technical partners (e.g. AWS, analytics, or blockchain APIs).
- Regulators or law enforcement if legally required.
We do not sell personal data or use it for advertising.
8. Blockchain Data
Wallet addresses and token transactions are public on-chain and cannot be deleted.
If you request data deletion, we will remove or anonymize off-chain records while keeping blockchain records immutable.
9. Cookies & Tracking
We use cookies for login sessions and analytics.
You can disable cookies in your browser.
10. Children
The dApp is for users 18+ only. We actively monitor and block underage use.
11. Security
We use encryption, limited access, and regular audits to protect data.
You remain responsible for your wallet and private keys.
12. Your Rights
You may:
- Access and Export Most of your participation data, including wallet address, X handle, campaign scores, and leaderboard rank, is publicly visible through your CULTD profile and campaign leaderboards.
- If you wish to obtain a complete export of your off-chain data (e.g., participation history, scores, or linked accounts), you may request it by emailing team@getcultd.com. We will provide this information in a common format (CSV or JSON) within 30 days.
- On-chain wallet activity is public and immutable; while it cannot be erased or altered, we can restrict its use in CULTD systems upon request.
Processing of wallet and social-media data in connection with GrindFi campaigns is governed by the CULTD dApp Privacy Policy.
13. Reward & Token Disclaimer
- Rewards are issued by third-party projects, not CULTD.
- CULTD only provides scoring and analytics; we do not hold or guarantee tokens.
- All token values are volatile and participation is at your own risk.
14. Data Retention
- Campaign data: 24–36 months.
- Wallet/social data: lifetime of account + 24 months.
- Blockchain data: permanent (beyond CULTD control).
15. International Transfers
Data may be processed in the UAE, UK, or EU under appropriate safeguards (e.g. SCCs, UK IDTA).
16. Beta Notice
The dApp is in Beta; features and scoring logic may evolve. Bugs or interruptions may occur.
17. Updates
We may update this Policy periodically. Continued use of the dApp constitutes acceptance of the latest version.
