When you visit wow.xyz (“Site”) or and use our platform, applications, or developer tools (collectively the “Services”), you trust us with your personal information. We take your privacy very seriously. In this Privacy Policy, we seek to explain to you in the clearest way possible what information we collect, how we use it and what rights you have in relation to it. We hope you take some time to read through it carefully, as it is important. If there are any terms in this privacy policy that you do not agree with, please discontinue your use of our services.

This Privacy Policy applies to all information collected through our and/or any related services, sales, marketing or events (we refer to them collectively in this privacy policy as the "Services").

Please read this privacy policy carefully as it will help you make informed decisions about sharing your personal information with us. By accessing and using our Services, you signify acceptance to the terms of this Privacy Policy.

  1. WHAT INFORMATION DO WE COLLECT?

Personal information you disclose to us:

In Short: We collect personal information that you provide to us.

We collect personal information that you voluntarily provide to us when registering with our Services and expressing an interest in obtaining information about us or our products and services. This includes:

  • Your Account Information - To access the Services, users must either create a Digital Wallet (“Wallet”) or connect an external Wallet, such as MetaMask, to the Services. When you create or connect your Wallet, depending on which product you are using, you may be asked to verify your email address and create an account and profile. You may also voluntarily add additional information in your user profile. If you create an account, sign up to receive blogs or newsletters we offer, or request notifications about certain NFT collections available on our Services, we may also retain your email address. You can also verify your social media accounts (e.g. Twitter) by connecting them to your Wallet, and we may store this verification.
  • Your Transactions - Zora maintains a record of the transactions your Wallet engages in on the Zora platform (including bids, mints, and purchases). These transactions are connected with your connected wallet’s public key address.
  • Customer Support - We may collect additional information you may disclose to our customer support team.
  • User-Generated Content - This includes photos, images, comments, questions, and other content or information that you generate, transmit, or otherwise make available on the Services, as well as associated metadata. Metadata includes information on how, when, where and by whom a piece of content was collected and how that content has been formatted or edited. Metadata also includes information that users can add or can have added to their content, such as keywords, geographical or location information, and other similar data.
    • Onchain Content - A webpage is created when a user creates an ERC-200z token (a “Token”) on our Services ("Token Pages"). You can also comment on other Token Pages. NOTE – Tokens, Token Pages, Profile Pages, and comments are stored onchain. While we may be able to remove some of this content from our Services, we cannot edit or delete any information that is stored on a blockchain. You will be prompted to confirm a transaction in your Wallet for any User-Generated Content that will be stored onchain.

Automatically collected information:

In Short: Some information — such as IP address and/or browser and device characteristics — is collected automatically when you use our Services.

We automatically collect certain information when you visit, use or navigate the Services. This information does not reveal your specific identity (like your name or contact information) but may include device and usage information that is used primarily to maintain the security and operation of our Site, applications, and for our internal analytics and reporting purposes. This includes:

  • Metrics and Performance Data - We may collect service-related, diagnostic, and performance information.
