1.4 Wallet and Blockchain Information

TheBenefactor.net provides blockchain-enabled functionality involving the native Pay It Forward ("PIF") utility token and supported blockchain networks.

Depending on the feature or wallet method you use, we may collect or process:

  • Public blockchain wallet addresses

  • Connected wallet addresses

  • Wallet verification information

  • Transaction amounts

  • Token transfer information

  • Blockchain network information

  • Information necessary to associate supported wallet functionality with your TheBenefactor.net account

Public blockchain networks operate independently of TheBenefactor.net. Information recorded on a public blockchain may be permanently and publicly accessible.

1.5 Platform-Managed Wallets

TheBenefactor.net provides platform-managed wallet functionality for certain Services.

When a platform-managed wallet is used, TheBenefactor.net's systems may securely process and store encrypted cryptographic key material necessary to operate the wallet on the user's behalf.

Cryptographic key material associated with platform-managed wallets is stored in encrypted form within our systems and infrastructure. We use technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect this information from unauthorized access, use, alteration, or disclosure.

Platform-managed wallets are different from external self-custody wallets.

1.6 Self-Custody Wallets

Where supported, users may choose to use an external self-custody wallet.

With a self-custody wallet, the user controls the wallet's private keys and recovery credentials.

TheBenefactor.net does not request or store the private key or seed/recovery phrase associated with a user's external self-custody wallet.

Never provide your private key or seed/recovery phrase to TheBenefactor.net or to anyone claiming to represent TheBenefactor.net.

You are responsible for protecting the credentials and devices associated with your self-custody wallet.

1.7 Public Blockchain Information

Blockchain networks are generally public.

When a blockchain transaction occurs, information such as the following may become permanently publicly accessible:

  • Wallet addresses

  • Transaction hashes

  • Token amounts

  • Transaction timestamps

  • Smart-contract interactions

  • Network transaction information

Although blockchain addresses are generally pseudonymous, they may potentially be associated with an individual through other information.

Information permanently recorded on a public blockchain generally cannot be modified or deleted by TheBenefactor.net.

1.8 Payment and Paid-Service Information

If you purchase or use paid Services, subscriptions, advertising, promotions, creator features, or other paid functionality, we may collect or process information such as:

  • Payment status

  • Billing-related information

  • Transaction identifiers

  • Subscription information

  • Advertising purchase information

  • Refund or cancellation information

Payments may be facilitated through third-party payment processors, blockchain networks, wallet providers, or other service providers.

When a third party processes a payment, that provider may collect information directly from you under its own terms and privacy policy. TheBenefactor.net does not necessarily receive or store all financial credentials provided to third-party payment providers.

1.9 Identity Verification and Compliance Information

Certain features may require identity verification or additional compliance review.

Where applicable, we or a service provider acting on our behalf may collect or process information such as:

  • Legal name

  • Date of birth

  • Address

  • Government-issued identification information

  • Verification results

  • Information necessary to verify identity

  • Information related to fraud prevention

  • Information necessary for sanctions screening, anti-money-laundering requirements, or other applicable legal or compliance obligations

We may limit, suspend, or deny access to certain functionality where required verification cannot be completed or where required by applicable law.

Direct messages are not ordinarily managed or reviewed through the platform's standard administrative user-management interface.

Users should not use direct messages to transmit highly sensitive information such as:

  • Passwords

  • Private keys

  • Seed or recovery phrases

  • Financial account credentials

  • Government identification documents

  • Other information that could create significant privacy or security risks if disclosed

TheBenefactor.net provides reporting functionality that allows users to report suspected misuse, abuse, harassment, prohibited content, or violations of our Terms and policies.

When a report is submitted, we may process information included with the report or information reasonably necessary and technically available to investigate the matter.

We may preserve, access, review, or disclose communications where reasonably necessary and technically available to investigate reported abuse, protect users or the Services, enforce our Terms and policies, comply with applicable law or valid legal process, or protect the rights, property, or safety of TheBenefactor.net or others.

Third-party providers may also process information under their own terms and privacy policies where applicable.

The inclusion of a provider in this section does not mean that provider receives every category of personal information described in this Privacy Policy.

Providers receive or process information based on the services they provide and the technical requirements of those services.

We may add, remove, or replace service providers as our infrastructure and Services evolve.

6. Public Information and Blockchain Transparency

TheBenefactor.net combines social-platform functionality with blockchain-enabled functionality.

Users should understand the distinction between information maintained within TheBenefactor.net's systems and information recorded on a public blockchain.

Information maintained by TheBenefactor.net may potentially be corrected, restricted, or deleted subject to applicable law, legitimate business needs, security requirements, and retention obligations.

Information permanently recorded on a public blockchain generally cannot be changed or deleted by TheBenefactor.net.

Blockchain transactions may publicly reveal information including:

  • Wallet addresses

  • Token amounts

  • Transaction timestamps

  • Transaction hashes

  • Smart-contract interactions

Blockchain information may remain publicly accessible indefinitely.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

Available cookie choices may be managed through our cookie controls and through supported browser settings.

Please review our Cookie Policy for additional information.

Cryptographic key material associated with platform-managed wallets is stored in encrypted form.

However, no website, server, network, database, wallet, blockchain, or electronic system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.

Users are responsible for protecting their account credentials, devices, and external self-custody wallets.

We encourage users to enable available security features, including two-factor authentication where available.

TheBenefactor.net will never ask you to provide the private key or seed/recovery phrase for your external self-custody wallet.

10. Account Deletion

  • Transaction records

  • Reward records

  • Tax and accounting requirements

  • Regulatory compliance

16. Third-Party Services and Links

The Services may contain links to or integrations with third-party websites, blockchain networks, wallets, payment services, videos, social networks, applications, or other services.

Third-party services operate under their own terms, privacy policies, and security practices.

We encourage users to review the privacy policies and terms of third-party services before providing information or using those services.
