Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 2026

This Privacy Policy (this "Policy") applies to the Intuition web application and related services (the "Service") operated by Intuition Systems, Inc. ("we," "our," "us," "Intuition," or the "Company"). It describes how we handle and protect information you provide when using our platform. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Service.

Your privacy is important to us. This Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect it. Because Intuition is a blockchain-based knowledge graph protocol, some of your activity results in data recorded permanently on a public blockchain. Please read this Policy carefully, especially the section on on-chain and off-chain data.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information you provide directly to us and information generated through your use of the Service:

Account Information

  • Email address and hashed password when you register with email
  • Wallet address when you authenticate via Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) — wallet addresses are public blockchain identifiers
  • Profile data from OAuth providers (Google, GitHub) if you choose to connect them, including display name and avatar

Profile & Content Information

  • Display name, bio, and avatar you provide
  • Media uploads including files, file names, types, and sizes
  • User preferences and application settings

Usage & Analytics Data

  • Pages visited, features used, and interactions with the Service
  • Device information, browser type, and IP address
  • Diagnostic and performance data

Communications

  • Messages and inquiries you send to us
  • Feedback and support requests

2. On-Chain vs. Off-Chain Data

Intuition is a decentralized knowledge graph protocol built on Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain. Your activity on the Service creates two distinct categories of data with very different privacy properties. Understanding this distinction is critical.

On-Chain Data — Permanently Public and Immutable

The following actions are recorded directly on the Base blockchain. Once written, this data cannot be modified, hidden, or deleted — by us or anyone else. It is permanently and publicly visible to anyone:

  • Atoms you create — entity records in the knowledge graph
  • Triples you create — semantic relationships (subject-predicate-object assertions) between atoms
  • Vault deposits and withdrawals — ETH staked to signal trust in atoms or triples via bonding curves
  • Wallet addresses — inherently public on-chain identifiers associated with your transactions

By using the on-chain features of the Service, you acknowledge and accept that this data is irrevocably public and that we have no ability to remove it from the blockchain.

Off-Chain Data — Stored on Our Servers

The following data is stored on our servers and is subject to standard data protection practices. It can be modified, corrected, or deleted upon your request subject to applicable law:

  • Email address and account credentials
  • Session data and authentication tokens
  • Uploaded media files and their metadata
  • Profile information (display name, avatar, preferences)
  • Usage analytics and application logs

We are not responsible for on-chain content that violates applicable law or these terms. While we may hide on-chain content from the Service's user interface, the underlying blockchain data remains permanently accessible through other means.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service
  • Process transactions and send related confirmations and receipts
  • Authenticate your identity and manage your account and sessions
  • Send technical notices, security alerts, updates, and support messages
  • Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
  • Monitor and analyze trends, usage patterns, and activities on the Service
  • Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity
  • Comply with applicable legal obligations
  • Personalize your experience based on your preferences and settings

4. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

  • Service providers: We share information with vendors, contractors, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing). These parties are bound by confidentiality obligations.
  • Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Intuition, our users, or the public.
  • Business transfers: If Intuition is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
  • Blockchain (inherently public): On-chain actions are broadcast to and recorded on the Base blockchain by design. This is not a disclosure by us — it is an inherent property of public blockchains.
  • With your consent: We may share information in other ways with your explicit consent.

5. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies to operate the Service and improve your experience. You can adjust cookie settings in your browser, but disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of the Service.

Login Cookies

We use cookies to manage authentication sessions. This prevents you from having to log in every time you visit the Service and keeps your session secure.

Essential Cookies

Essential cookies are required for the Service to function correctly. They enable core features such as navigation, transaction notifications, and security mechanisms. These cannot be disabled without impairing Service functionality.

Personalization Cookies

These cookies remember your preferences — such as theme selection, language, and display settings — to provide a more personalized experience on return visits.

6. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your off-chain personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews.

However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet private keys and credentials — we will never ask for your private keys.

7. Data Retention

Off-Chain Data

We retain your off-chain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you delete your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information, except where we are required to retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.

On-Chain Data — Cannot Be Deleted

Data recorded on the Base blockchain (atoms, triples, vault transactions, wallet addresses) is permanent and immutable. We have no technical ability to delete or modify this data. Deleting your Intuition account does not remove your on-chain activity from the blockchain.

[TBD — Pending Legal Review]

Specific off-chain data retention periods (e.g., 90 days, 3 years) are pending legal counsel review and will be updated in a future revision of this Policy.

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights apply only to off-chain data we hold — they cannot extend to data recorded on a public blockchain.

  • Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
  • Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
  • Deletion: Request deletion of your off-chain personal information, subject to legal retention obligations. Note that on-chain data cannot be deleted.
  • Data portability: Request your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format.
  • Objection / opt-out: Object to certain types of data processing, including direct marketing.

[TBD — Pending Legal Review]

Specific GDPR (EEA/UK users) and CCPA (California users) rights, including formal request procedures, response timelines, and appointed data protection contacts, are pending legal counsel review.

[TBD — Pending Legal Review]

The right to erasure (GDPR Article 17) conflicts with the immutability of on-chain data. The scope of this conflict and any available mitigations are pending legal counsel review.

[TBD — Pending Legal Review]

Governing law and jurisdiction for privacy-related disputes are pending legal counsel review and will be specified in a future revision of this Policy.

To exercise any of the rights listed above, please contact us at privacy@intuition.systems. We will respond to your request within a reasonable timeframe consistent with applicable law.

9. Children's Privacy

The Service involves interaction with cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and financial instruments. It is not intended for, and should not be used by, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us at privacy@intuition.systems and we will take steps to investigate and remove such information from our off-chain systems.

10. Third-Party Services

The Service integrates with or relies on several third-party services. Intuition is not responsible for the data handling practices of these providers. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies:

Base (L2 Blockchain)

On-chain activity is recorded on Base, a public Ethereum Layer 2 network. All on-chain transactions are visible to anyone via blockchain explorers. Base is operated by Coinbase and has its own terms and policies.

Wallet Providers

When connecting a wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect), you interact with those providers' software under their terms. We receive only your wallet's public address.

OAuth Providers (Google, GitHub)

If you choose to connect a Google or GitHub account, those providers share limited profile data (name, email, avatar) with us under their OAuth flows. You can revoke this access through those providers' account settings at any time.

Stripe (Payment Processing — Planned)

Payment processing is handled by Stripe. When payment features are enabled, payment card information is collected and processed directly by Stripe. We do not store payment card details. Please review Stripe's Privacy Policy.

Links to Other Websites

The Service may contain links to external websites. These sites are not operated by us, and we have no control over their content or privacy practices. We strongly advise reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the "Last updated" date at the top of this Policy and, where appropriate, by sending an email notification or displaying a notice within the Service. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.

Your continued use of the Service after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
