CryptoHorses - Privacy Policy
Last Updated: January 21, 2018
We at Crypto Horses (“CryptoHorses,” “we,” or “us”) believe that your privacy is a fundamental right.
We have written this privacy policy (this “Policy”) to reflect our values, and to clearly describe what information
we collect from you when you use our specially-developed smart contracts to own, transfer, and breed genetically unique digital horses
(“CryptoHorses”), which can then be visualized on a website (www.cryptohorses.ch) that users can interact with (the“Site”),
as well as how we protect and use that information. The smart contracts and the Site are collectively referred to in this Policy as the “App”.
By using the App, you agree that we can collect, use, disclose, and process your information as described in this Policy.
This Policy only applies to the App, and not to any other websites, products or services you may be able to access or link to via the App.
We encourage you to read the privacy policies of any other websites you visit before providing your information to them.
While our values will not shift, the App will evolve over time, and this Policy will change to reflect that evolution.
If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of this Policy. In some cases, if we make significant changes,
we may give you additional notice by adding a statement to our homepage, or by sending you an email notification.
We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about our practices.
Information Collection
Information We Do Collect
We will ask you to provide us with your email address, and your Ethereum wallet address.
We also collect basic analytics and log-in information when you use the App. This sort of information may be collected from third-party providers like Facebook or Google Analytics, and includes, among other things, the type of device you use, access times, IP address, hardware model, operating system and version, and other unique device identifiers. Some of these third-party providers may place cookies or pixels - small data files stored on your hard drive or in device memory - on your browser or hard drive. Note that this Policy does not cover the use of cookies or pixels by such third parties. Most web browsers are set to accept cookies and pixels by default, but you can usually set your browser to remove or reject browser cookies or pixels. If you do choose to remove or reject cookies or pixels, however, your ability to use the App might be affected.
Information We Don’t Collect
We do not collect any other personally-identifiable information about you, unless you give it to us directly: by filling out a form, creating an account, giving us written feedback, communicating with us via third party social media sites, or otherwise communicating with us via the App or any other means. We do not collect any payment information from you, other than your Ethereum wallet address.
Information Usage
What We Do With Information We Collect
We use the information we collect in the following ways:
- To analyze trends for how the App is being used;
- To improve the App;
- To help personalize your experience of the App; and
- If you gave us your contact information, we will use it to send you data as part of making the App available to you. We may also use that information to contact you to send you technical notices, updates, confirmations, security alerts, to provide support to you, to tell you about other products and services that we think might interest you, or to respond to your comments or questions.
We may share the information we collect with third parties who need to access it in order to do work on our behalf, including doing things like helping us make the App available, or providing analytics services for us. We work hard to ensure that these third parties only access and use your information as necessary to perform their functions.
We will create aggregations and anonymizations that contain your information in a way that does not directly identify you. We may use and/or share those aggregations and anonymizations for a variety of purposes related to the App, or our company and its business.
What We Don’t Do With Information We Collect
We do not share any information that directly identifies you with any third party, except in the following limited cases:
- As required to comply with applicable law or regulation, or to comply with law enforcement;
- To respond to claims and/or legal process;
- To protect our rights or our property, or to enforce our terms of service;
- To help ensure the safety of the public or an individual;
- To prevent behavior that is (or that we think may be) illegal or unethical;
- With your consent, or at your request or direction; or
- As otherwise set forth in this Policy.
Information Processing
Depending on where you are located, your information may need to be transferred to different servers around the world as part of using the App. Since we are based in the European Union, any information we collect is governed by European law. You acknowledge that, as part of making the App available to you, we may transfer your information to or maintain your information on computers located outside of your state, province, country, or other governmental jurisdiction, where the privacy laws may not be as protective as those in your jurisdiction. If you are located outside of Europe and you choose to provide your information to us, you agree that we have the right to transfer your information to Europe and process it there. By using the App, or by otherwise providing any information to us, you consent to the processing and transfer of that information in and to European Union, the U.S., and other countries.
Information Security
We take safeguarding your information seriously. We will take reasonable administrative, physical, and electronic measures to help protect your information from loss, theft, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. All that said, no method of transmitting or storing information over the Internet is completely secure. With that in mind, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information.

The App is not intended for use by children under the age of 14. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the age of 14 and you become aware that your child has provided personally identifiable information to us without your and their consent, contact us at
[email protected]. If we become aware that a child under the age of 14 has provided us with their personally identifiable information, we will remove that information from our files.
