Privacy Policy

About this policy

This explains what Recurve collects when you use recurve.fi, why, and what happens to it. Recurve has no accounts and no sign-up, so there is far less of this than you might expect. Where the answer is "we don't", it says so.

What we collect

Three things, none of which identify you by name:

• Content you submit when launching. A coin's name, ticker, description, links and images. You type these in deliberately and they are meant to be public.
• Public blockchain data. Wallet addresses, transactions, balances and trades, which we read from the chain and index so pages load quickly. This is already public and we don't create it.
• Basic traffic analytics. Aggregate page views and performance timings via Vercel Analytics, Speed Insights, and Google Analytics, so we can see which pages are popular, slow, or broken. This is measurement in aggregate — we don't use it to identify you.
• Community Take-Over requests. Only if you submit one. The form asks for an email and Telegram handle so we can reach you, plus the coin, your payout wallet, your links and your reasoning. You provide these deliberately so the team can review the request and contact you; they are stored on our own database and are not shown publicly.

What we don't collect

No accounts, no passwords, no name, no phone number, no KYC. We don't ask for an email to browse, launch or trade — the one exception is if you choose to submit a Community Take-Over request, which asks for an email and Telegram handle so we can reach you about it (see above). We never ask for or receive your private key or seed phrase — your wallet signs transactions in its own software and hands us only the result. We don't sell your data or run ad-targeting on you. We do use Google Analytics for aggregate traffic stats, which sets a cookie and shares usage data with Google — see Browser storage and Who processes data below.

Your wallet address

Connecting a wallet shows us its public address so the interface can display your balances and let you sign. An address is pseudonymous, not anonymous: if it is publicly linked to you elsewhere, activity here can be linked to you too. That is a property of public blockchains, not something we do.

The blockchain is permanent

Anything written on-chain — your transactions, and the coin metadata you submit at launch — is public, permanent, and outside our control. We cannot edit or delete it, and neither can you. Please don't put anything in a coin's name, description or image that you wouldn't want attached to your address forever.

Browser storage

Two things. Your light/dark theme choice lives in localStorage so the site doesn't flash the wrong colours on load. And Google Analytics sets a first-party cookie (the standard "_ga" identifier) to tell returning visits apart for aggregate counts. Clearing your browser data removes both, and an analytics blocker or a cookie-blocking browser stops the Google one — the site works exactly the same either way. Your wallet extension keeps its own state, which we can't see.

Who processes data for us

We use a small number of services to run the site:

• Vercel — hosting, and the Vercel Analytics above
• Google Analytics — aggregate traffic measurement (sets the cookie described above)
• Neon — the Postgres database holding indexed chain data and submitted coin metadata
• Railway — the indexer that reads the chain
• Blockscout and the public Robinhood Chain RPC — reading public chain data

Your IP address is necessarily visible to these providers to serve you a page, as it is to any website. Each has its own privacy policy.

Retention

Indexed chain data and coin metadata are kept for as long as the site runs — they mirror public data that is permanent anyway. Analytics are retained by Vercel and Google under their respective policies. We delete nothing from the blockchain because we cannot.

Security

Traffic is served over HTTPS and the database is not publicly reachable. That said, no system is perfectly secure. The strongest protection here is structural: we hold no funds and no keys, so there is nothing on our side worth stealing from you.

Your choices

You can use the site without connecting a wallet, and disconnect at any time. You can clear your browser storage to reset the theme. Because we hold no account for you, there is no profile to export or delete — and on-chain data is beyond our reach regardless of what anyone requests. If you have a question about data we hold on our own servers, email us.

Children

Recurve isn't for anyone under 18 and isn't directed at children. We don't knowingly collect data from them.

Changes

We may update this policy. The effective date above shows when it last changed. Material changes will be reflected here rather than announced individually, since we have no email address to announce them to.
