DEXETERA PRIVACY POLICY
Last Updated: January 30, 2026
1. PRIVACY PRINCIPLES & ZERO-TRACKING COMMITMENT
Dexetera is designed and operated on a zero-tracking, zero-surveillance foundation. This Privacy Policy explains our minimal data practices and your rights.
Core Principles
- Your trading is your business: We do not monitor, profile, or track your trading activity
- No personal identification required: We do not collect names, emails, or ID documents
- No cookies, no logs: We do not use tracking technologies or retain connection logs
- Blockchain-only data: Only data necessary for blockchain settlement is processed
- No selling of data: We never sell, license, or share your data with third parties for profit
- No profiling: We do not build user profiles or use data for targeted marketing
2. WHAT DATA WE COLLECT
2.1 Blockchain-Derived Data (Necessary for Trading)
To enable trading on Dexetera, we necessarily access:
- Your wallet address: Required to settle trades on the blockchain
- Transaction data: Trade amounts, prices, timestamps from your blockchain transactions
- Smart contract interactions: Data necessary for executing your orders on-chain
Scope: This data is the minimum required for blockchain settlement and is not retained separately from the blockchain itself.
2.2 What We DO NOT Collect
We explicitly do not collect:
- Personal identification information (name, email, phone number, address)
- Identity verification documents (government ID, passport, biometric data)
- Trading history (for purposes other than immediate settlement)
- Browsing behavior (pages visited, time spent, clicks)
- Device information (device type, OS, browser type)
- Connection data (IP addresses as persistent identifiers; see Section 4.2 for temporary infrastructure logs)
- Cookies or persistent identifiers
- Behavioral profiles or financial history
- Communication records (messages, support tickets beyond what is necessary to respond)
3. DATA PROCESSING & LEGAL BASIS
3.1 Legal Basis
To the extent Dexetera processes any personal data subject to GDPR:
- Performance of contract: Blockchain-derived wallet addresses and transaction data are processed to perform the trading contract with you
- Compliance with legal obligation: If legally required to disclose data to authorities (e.g., financial crime investigations), we will disclose only what is legally mandated
- No consent-based processing: We do not use your data for purposes requiring consent (marketing, profiling, etc.)
3.2 Legitimate Interest (Where Applicable)
- Platform security: We may process minimal data to prevent fraud, abuse, or unauthorized access
- Legal defense: We retain records necessary to defend against legal claims
4. DATA RETENTION
4.1 Blockchain Data
- Immutable: Transaction data recorded on the blockchain is permanent and beyond our control
- Non-proprietary: Blockchain data exists independently of our systems
4.2 Server Logs (If Any)
- Infrastructure logs: If server logs contain IP addresses or connection data, these are deleted after 24 hours
- No long-term retention: We do not retain historical logs for surveillance or profiling
4.3 Support & Communication
- Support records: If you contact us for support, we retain your message only to respond and resolve your issue
- Retention period: Support records are deleted 90 days after issue resolution, unless required by law
4.4 Legal Holds
If involved in legal proceedings, we may retain data as required by law or court order. Upon resolution, such data is deleted unless legally mandated otherwise.
5. DATA SHARING
5.1 No Sharing with Third Parties
We do not share, sell, license, or disclose your data to:
- Marketing firms, data brokers, or analytics companies
- Advertising networks or social media platforms
- Financial institutions for profiling or lending decisions
- Affiliate programs or partner networks
- Business partners for commercial purposes
5.2 Exceptions: Required Disclosures
We may disclose data only when legally required:
- Law enforcement requests: If compelled by valid legal process (court order, subpoena, warrant)
- Regulatory compliance: If required by FINMA, SEC, or similar authorities investigating financial crime
- Preventing harm: If necessary to prevent imminent harm, fraud, or illegal activity
Such disclosures are made only to the extent legally mandated, with notice to you if legally permissible.
5.3 Blockchain Data
Blockchain data is public by nature. Your wallet address and transactions are visible to all blockchain users and cannot be made private by us.
6. YOUR RIGHTS (GDPR & Similar Laws)
If you are subject to GDPR, Swiss DPA, or similar privacy laws, you have the following rights:
6.1 Right to Access

6.2 Right to Correction
You may request correction of inaccurate data we hold about you.
Limitation: We do not retain trading history or personal records to correct.
6.3 Right to Erasure ("Right to be Forgotten")
You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to limitations.
Limitations:

6.4 Right to Restrict Processing
You may request that we restrict our processing of your data.
Practical scope: Given our minimal data practices, this right has limited applicability.
