1. Introduction

RobotTrader is a decentralised, open-source software protocol for publishing and executing algorithmic trading strategies ("robots"). The protocol itself does not collect, process, or control personal data. Users interact directly with smart contracts deployed on public blockchains and retain custody of their own funds and private keys.

This Privacy Policy explains how RobotTrader, as an open-source project, approaches privacy and data protection.

2. Scope

This policy applies only to interactions with the RobotTrader protocol (smart contracts, code repositories, governance mechanisms).

It does not apply to independent third-party websites, applications, or services that provide interfaces to the protocol. Such services may collect personal data under their own privacy policies.

3. Data Collected by the Protocol

The RobotTrader protocol itself:

Does not require user accounts, registrations, or logins.
Does not collect names, email addresses, identification documents, or contact details.
Does not store personal data.
Records only public blockchain data inherent to smart contract interactions (e.g., wallet addresses, transaction hashes, on-chain activity).

This information is transparent, permanent, and publicly visible on the blockchain.

4. Data Collected by Community Front-Ends

Community-maintained websites or applications that provide user interfaces to RobotTrader may:

Store technical data (e.g., browser type, IP address) for performance and security.
Use cookies or similar technologies.
Offer optional services such as newsletters or forums, which may require voluntary data submission.

Such front-ends are operated by independent contributors. They are responsible for their own privacy notices and compliance with applicable law.

5. User Responsibilities

Users are responsible for the privacy and security of their own wallets, keys, and devices.

Users should review the privacy policies of any third-party front-ends, custodial wallets, or exchanges they use in connection with RobotTrader.

As all blockchain transactions are public, users should be aware that interactions with RobotTrader smart contracts are permanently visible and cannot be erased.

6. Governance & Community

The RobotTrader DAO, a decentralised governance community, may manage protocol parameters.

The DAO does not process personal data beyond what is publicly available on the blockchain.

7. International Data Considerations

As RobotTrader is a decentralised protocol with no central operator, there is no transfer of personal data between jurisdictions by the protocol itself.

If you interact with a third-party service provider (for example, a hosted front-end), that provider may process data in accordance with local laws such as the EU GDPR, UK GDPR, or other regional frameworks.

8. Security

RobotTrader smart contracts are open-source and publicly auditable.

The protocol itself cannot protect users from disclosing personal information on-chain.

Users should exercise caution and use privacy-enhancing tools (e.g., VPNs, privacy wallets) if desired.

9. Changes to this Policy

As an open-source project, this Privacy Policy may be updated by community governance. Updates will be published in the official code repository and/or DAO governance proposals.

10. Contact

RobotTrader has no centralised operator or corporate office. Questions or feedback about this Privacy Policy can be raised in the community governance forum or DAO channels.
