Privacy Policy

Who we are and what this covers

This site is operated by Datamine Network Inc. ("we", "us"), a corporation registered in Ontario, Canada. This policy covers the pages at https://datamine.network and the one data request those pages make. It does not cover other Datamine Network sites or apps, which have their own policies, or the third-party services that this site links to.

We follow the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), the federal private-sector privacy law of Canada, and its ten fair information principles. "Personal information" has the meaning that PIPEDA gives it: information about an identifiable individual. An IP address can be personal information. Your IP address and the other details that every web request carries are the only personal information that gets to a server when you use this site. Where this policy and the law are different, the law applies.

The short version

This site shows information about our open-source research. It has no accounts, no forms and no sign-in. It sets no cookies, keeps nothing in your browser and runs no analytics or advertising trackers. It does not connect to a crypto wallet. The only data that any server gets is the ordinary web requests that load the pages and one request for a public figure. Both go to Cloudflare, the company that hosts the site for us.

Consent

When you use the site, you consent to the handling that this policy describes. That handling is only what is necessary to deliver the site and keep it in operation. To withdraw your consent, stop using the site. We keep nothing about you on a server, so there is nothing more to withdraw.

What the site keeps in your browser

Nothing. The site keeps no data between visits: no cookies, no local storage, no database and no identifier for you or your device. It loads no fonts, scripts or images from other companies. Your browser can keep a copy of the site files in its usual cache. These files are the same for each visitor and contain nothing about you.

Hosting on Cloudflare

Cloudflare Pages, a hosting and content delivery service of Cloudflare, Inc., serves the site. To deliver the pages, Cloudflare gets what each web request carries: your IP address, the address you asked for, the user agent of your browser, the referring page if there is one, and the time. Cloudflare uses this data to send the files, to protect the site against abuse, and to show us total request counts. Cloudflare keeps such request logs for a limited time under its own policy. It can serve you from a data centre outside Canada, so this data can be processed outside Canada and be subject to the laws there.

We do not turn on the analytics beacon of Cloudflare on this site. Cloudflare is our service provider for hosting only, and we get no records of individual visitors from it. Cloudflare must follow its own privacy policy and our agreement with it, and can use the data only to supply the service.

The one data request

The site shows the available liquidity of the Datamine Network pools. To get this figure, the page asks the host of the site for one public figure. The host relays that request to analytics.datamine.network, a site that Datamine Network Inc. owns and operates, so the figure does not come from a third party. The relay sends nothing from your request: not your IP address, not the details of your browser. The page sends the request with no cookies and no referrer. The figure is the same for each visitor. The host keeps a copy for one minute, and your browser keeps a copy for 30 seconds.

Cookies and tracking signals

We set no cookies. Cloudflare can set its own cookie when its protection against automated traffic checks a request. That cookie is used only for that check, and the policy of Cloudflare describes it. The site reads no cookies and does not need them.

The site tracks nothing, so it obeys browser signals such as Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control automatically: there is nothing to turn off.

Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, trade or disclose personal information to anyone. We hold none to disclose. If a court order or other lawful demand tells us to supply information about a visitor, we can supply only what this policy describes. That is nothing more than what Cloudflare holds in its own logs. We disclose only what the law requires.

Open source

All of our work is open source. The source of this site is released under the GNU Affero General Public License, version 3. ILM is released under the Apache License 2.0. The Datamine Network dashboard is released under the MIT License. The smart contracts are public on Ethereum and Arbitrum, and anyone can read them.

Open source does not change your privacy on this site. If you download source code or models from GitHub or Hugging Face, the privacy policy of that service applies. Anyone can run a copy of our software under its licence. This policy covers only the site that we operate at this address. A copy that another person operates is the responsibility of that person.

Crypto wallets and public chains

The site does not connect to a crypto wallet, and it never sees your wallet address. Some links open apps for public chains, such as the Datamine Network dashboard, Uniswap, DefiLlama, Etherscan and Arbiscan. What you do with those apps occurs on a public chain. Transactions, balances and wallet addresses on a public chain are public and permanent, and we cannot control or remove them.

Links to other services

The site links to GitHub (source code, the token audits and the Datamine Network dashboard, which GitHub hosts), Hugging Face, Discord, X, LinkedIn, arXiv, Etherscan, Arbiscan, Uniswap, DefiLlama and the sources of the ILM benchmarks. Each link opens in a new tab. The site tells the other site nothing about where you came from. When you follow a link, you leave this site, and the privacy policy of the other service applies. We share nothing with those services.

Security and breaches

The site is served only over HTTPS. HTTPS protects the files you load and the one figure the page gets, so nobody can read or change them while they move. The site is also served with a Content Security Policy that stops the browser from loading a script, a style, an image or a connection from another origin, and stops other sites from showing it in a frame. We hold no visitor data on a server, so there is no store of your data on our side to breach.

If a breach of security safeguards ever involves personal information under our control and causes a real risk of significant harm, we will tell the people affected and report to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, as PIPEDA requires. We will keep the record of it that the law requires.

Children

The site is not for children. We ask nobody for personal information, children included. The only information that gets to a server is the hosting data of each visit. A parent or guardian with a concern can contact us at the address below.

Your rights

Under PIPEDA, you can ask what personal information we hold about you, ask us to correct it, withdraw consent, and challenge our compliance with this policy. We answer such requests in 30 days, at no cost. We keep no information about you, so the answer to the first question is: nothing more than the request logs described above. Cloudflare holds those logs under its own policy, and we do not connect them to a person.

If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can make a complaint to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.

Visitors outside Canada

If you use the site from another country, the same facts apply: no account, no tracking, and no collection beyond the hosting data described above.

• European Union, European Economic Area and United Kingdom: Datamine Network Inc. is the controller of the hosting data, and Cloudflare processes it for us. Our legal basis is our legitimate interest in delivering the site and keeping it secure. You can ask for access, correction, erasure, restriction or portability, object to the processing, and make a complaint to your data protection authority. Cloudflare can process the data outside your country under the transfer safeguards that its policy describes.
• California and other US states: we do not sell or share personal information as those laws define the terms. We do not use it for targeted advertising or profiling.
• Other countries: where your local law gives you rights over your information, contact us and we will answer under that law as far as it applies to us. In almost all cases, the answer is that we hold nothing.

Changes to this policy

If the site starts to collect, keep or send more than this policy describes, we will update this policy before that change starts, and the effective date at the top will change. The date at the top always shows the version in force. You can ask us for earlier versions.

Governing law

This policy is governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. It does not remove a protection that the law where you live gives you.

Accountability and contact

Datamine Network Inc. has a Privacy Officer who is accountable for this policy and who answers questions, requests and complaints about it. Write to the address below. For a faster answer, you can also contact the team on Discord. Discord is a third-party service with its own privacy policy, so Discord also sees a message that you send there.
