Privacy Policy
Last updated: December 18, 2023
This Privacy Notice explains how Berachain Corporation (the “Company”, “we”, “our” or “us”) collects, uses, and discloses personal information in connection with our websites, forums, blogs, web applications and other online products and services (collectively the “services”).
This Privacy Notice does not address our privacy practices relating to job applicants, employees and other personnel. This Privacy Notice is also not a contract and does not create any legal rights or obligations.
OUR COLLECTION OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
The Company is the controller of the personal information we collect or otherwise maintain in connection with our services. This means that we determine and are responsible for how personal information is used.
The categories of personal information we collect depend on how you interact with us and our services. The Company collects information that individuals provide directly to us, information we collect automatically when individuals interact with us, and information we collect from third-party sources and other organizations.
Personal Information Individuals Provide Directly to Us
We may collect the following personal information individuals provide directly to us in connection with our services:
Contact Information, including name, email address, social media handles, and communication preferences;
Account Information, including username, profile pictures, profile description, general location, trust level, join date, and the products and services developed, used, or interacted with and any requests for feedback you provide in connection with your account, including requests for feedback on code you have developed;
Community information, including number of days visited, topics and posts created, topics viewed, posts read, time spent reading, likes given and received, badges, certifications, and community preferences;
Event, contest, promotion, and survey information, including contact information, preferences, feedback, and other relevant content provided when signing up for an event, entering a contest or promotion, or completing a survey; and
Inquiry information, including information provided in custom messages sent through our services or provided directly to a member of our team.
When an individual chooses to contact us, we may need additional information to fulfill the request or respond to inquiries. We may provide additional privacy-related information where the scope of the inquiry/request and/or personal information we require fall outside the scope of this Privacy Notice. In that case, the additional privacy notice will govern how we may process the information provided at that time.
Personal Information Automatically Collected
As is true of many digital platforms, we and our third-party providers may also collect certain personal information from an individual’s device, browsing actions, and site usage patterns automatically when visiting or interacting with our services, which may include:
Log data, such as cookie identifiers, internet protocol (IP) address, mobile carrier, MAC address, user settings, mobile ad identifiers, Internet service provider, browser or device information, the URL entered and the referring page/campaign, date/time of visit, the time spent on our services, and any errors that may occur during the visit to our services;
Analytics data, such as the electronic path taken to our services, through our services, and when exiting our services, as well as information pertaining to usage and activity on our services (including pages visited, links clicked, content interacted with, and duration and frequency of the activities); and
Location data, such as general geographic location based on the log data we or our third-party providers collect.
For information about our and our third-party providers’ use of cookies and related technologies to collect information automatically, and any choices individuals may have in relation to its collection, please review the Cookies and Related Technologies section below.
Personal Information from Third Parties and Other Sources
We also obtain personal information from third-party sources, which we often combine with personal information we collect either automatically or directly from an individual.
We may receive the same categories of personal information as described above from the following third parties:
Affiliates: We may receive personal information from other companies owned or controlled by the Company, and other companies owning or under common ownership with the Company, particularly when we collaborate in providing services.
Single Sign-On: Some parts of our services may allow community members to login through a third-party social network or authentication service such as Discord, Google, or Github. These services will authenticate the community member’s identity and provide them the option to share certain personal information with us, which could include name, email address, address book and contacts, or other information. The data we receive is dependent on that third party’s policies and the community member’s privacy settings on that third-party site. However, we do not receive the community member’s login credentials for the relevant third-party service. Instead, we receive tokens from the single sign-on service to help identify the community member in our system (such as by their username) and confirm the community member successfully authenticated with the single sign-on services. This information allows us to more easily provide community members access to our platform.
Social Media: If an individual chooses to interact with us on social media, we may collect personal information about them from their social media account that they make public. We use personal information collected in connection with their social media account to communicate with them, better understand their interests and preferences, and better understand our user base in the aggregate.
Identity Verification Providers: In rare circumstances, we may engage third-party identity verification providers to help us verify the identity of a specific individual with whom we are interacting. This information is used primarily for purposes of preventing fraud.
Event, Promotion and Other Business Partners: We may from time to time offer opportunities for individuals to take part in events or promotions, or obtain services provided in connection with a third-party business partner. Our event, promotion, and other business partners may collect or share personal information with us in connection with the relevant event, promotion or service. For example, we may receive personal information from third-party business partners that help foster the community in order to identify community members eligible for benefits in relation to a promotion.
Data Analytics Providers: We rely on third-party providers to help us collect analytics relating to our services and user base. These data analytics providers often collect personal information directly from individuals and share some or all of this information with us in connection with their analytics services.
Other Service Providers: Other service providers that perform services solely on our behalf, such as website hosting and marketing providers, collect personal information and often share some or all of this information with us in connection with their services.
Information Providers: We may from time to time obtain information from third-party information providers to correct or supplement personal information we collect. For example, we may obtain updated contact information from third-party information providers to connect with an individual who may be interested in our services.
Publicly Available Sources: We may collect personal information about individuals that we do not otherwise have, such as contact information or an individual’s interest in our services, from publicly available sources. We may combine this information with the information we collect from an individual directly.
Inferences: We may generate inferences or predictions about individuals and their interests and preferences based on the other personal information we collect and the interactions we have with the individuals.

In connection with our services, we may collect the following blockchain information directly from individuals, from the third parties identified above, or from the public blockchain itself (including the Berachain blockchain):
