Privacy Policy for Pwnch

Last Updated: 2025

At Pwnch, your privacy isn’t an afterthought—it’s the core of who we are. Built as a fully decentralized and encryption-driven social platform, Pwnch ensures that you stay anonymous, your data stays yours, and your digital identity stays protected. This Privacy Policy explains what we don’t collect, what limited data we do process, and how your information moves securely through our decentralized ecosystem.

1. What We Do Not Collect

Pwnch is designed to limit data collection to the absolute minimum required for the platform to function. We do not collect, store, or require:

• No real names

• No location tracking

• No facial recognition or biometric data

• No behavioral tracking or advertising analytics
  
  

2. Data You Control

Pwnch is decentralized, meaning data does not live on a single server or belong to a single company. Instead, your information is encrypted and distributed securely across the network. You maintain full ownership and control over:

• Your posts

• Your messages

• Your groups or community participation

• Your marketplace activities

• Your encryption keys

You can delete or export your data at any time.

3. Messaging & Encryption

All messaging on Pwnch—private chats, group chats, and community interactions—is protected with end-to-end encryption.

This means:

• Messages cannot be read by Pwnch, third parties, or server operators.

• Only sender and recipient(s) can decrypt content.

• Metadata is minimized and never used for tracking.

Your private conversations stay private.

4. Public Content & Communities

When you post in a public community or group:

• Your identity remains anonymous (no personal data is tied to your account).

• Content is public by your choice only.

• Communities are decentralized and censorship-resistant unless moderated by their creators.

Even public activity does not reveal any personal information about you.

5. Marketplace Privacy

The Pwnch Marketplace allows anonymous buying, selling, and trading.

We do not:

• Track purchases

• Create user profiles

• Store transaction histories centrally

Transactions occur securely via privacy-preserving protocols and decentralized infrastructure. Any payment information is handled by third-party privacy-focused payment layers you choose, not by Pwnch.

6. Cookies & Tracking

Pwnch does not use:

• Tracking cookies

• Third-party analytics tools

• Behavioral advertising

• Device fingerprinting

Any minimal local storage used is strictly functional (e.g., keeping you logged in).

7. Decentralized Data Storage

Because Pwnch is decentralized:

• Data is distributed—there is no central database to breach.

• Independent nodes do not have access to decrypted data.

• Your encryption keys never leave your device.

Security relies on cryptography, not trust.

8. Child Privacy

Pwnch is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors, and the platform discourages sharing personal data of any kind.

9. Third-Party Services

If you choose to use optional integrations or privacy-preserving payment layers, their policies govern your use of those services. Pwnch does not share any personal data with third parties because we do not collect it.

10. Your Rights

Even with minimal data collection, you maintain the right to:

• Delete your account

• Export your data

• Revoke keys or regenerate identities

• Use the platform anonymously

• Opt out of any optional features involving data processing

You are in complete control.

11. Policy Updates

As Pwnch evolves, we may update this policy to reflect improvements in privacy practices or new decentralized technologies. Significant changes will be communicated directly within the platform.
