Effective Date: 21/12/2025

This Privacy Policy explains how Public Respect (“Public Respect”, “PR”, “PRP”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, processes, and discloses information from and about users (“you” or “user”) in connection with:

• The Public Respect website (https://publicrespect.com)
   
• The Public Respect application (https://publicrespect.app)
   
• The Public Respect Protocol (PRP)
   
• The PR utility token
   
• Related services, smart contracts, and features (collectively, the “Services”)
   

By accessing or using the Services, connecting a wallet, purchasing PR tokens, or interacting with the protocol, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree with this Privacy Policy, you should not use the Services.

Public Respect is a Web3-first, decentralized protocol. As such, much of the data involved is public blockchain data. We only collect information necessary to operate the platform, ensure security, and comply with applicable laws.

When you interact with Public Respect on-chain, the following information is recorded on the Polygon blockchain and is publicly accessible:

• Wallet Address – Your public blockchain address
   
• Transaction Data – Transaction hashes, timestamps, token amounts, gas fees
   
• PR Token Balance – Your PR balance associated with your wallet
   
• Smart Contract Interactions – Calls related to buying, transferring, or withdrawing PR
   

⚠️ Important: Blockchain data is public, immutable, and not controlled by Public Respect.

When you create a profile or use app features, we may collect:

• Profile Information (if provided)
  
  
  • Username
     
  • Display name
     
  • Profile image
     
  • Bio or description
     
• Reputation & Activity Data
  
  
  • Respect points (positive/negative)
     
  • Voting activity
     
  • Governance participation
     
  • Activity logs and timestamps
     

This data is used solely to operate the reputation system and platform features.

If you choose to engage in verification or fiat-related services, we may collect limited personal data through trusted third-party providers, including:

• Contact Information
  
  
  • Email address (for verification or support)
     
• Verification Information (KYC/AML where applicable)
  
  
  • Identification documents (if required by law)
     
  • Proof of ownership of social profiles (manual verification)
     
• Fiat Transaction Records
  
  
  • Payment amount
     
  • Timestamp
     
  • Transaction reference (not full payment credentials)
     

Public Respect does not store sensitive financial data such as card numbers or bank credentials.

We use collected information for the following purposes:

• Enable wallet-based authentication
   
• Maintain user profiles and reputation scores
   
• Facilitate voting, governance, and respect transactions
   
• Process PR purchases and withdrawals
   

• Detect fraudulent or abusive behavior
   
• Enforce platform rules and bans
   
• Protect protocol integrity
   

• Fulfill AML/KYC obligations (where applicable)
   
• Respond to lawful requests from authorities
   
• Comply with applicable regulations
   

• Analyze system usage and health (aggregated, non-invasive)
   
• Improve user experience and protocol performance
   
• Develop future features
   

By using Public Respect, you acknowledge and agree that:

• Your wallet address, PR balance, and on-chain activity may be used internally by the protocol to:
  
  
  • Authenticate participation
     
  • Enable governance, voting, and withdrawals
     
  • Enforce platform rules
     
  • Support reputation-based mechanics
     

This is essential to the functioning of a decentralized reputation protocol.

We may share limited data with trusted third parties strictly for:

• Payment processing (fiat only)
   
• Verification services
   
• Infrastructure hosting
   
• Security and analytics
   

All such providers are required to follow applicable data protection standards.

We may disclose information if required to:

• Comply with laws or regulations
   
• Respond to legal processes
   
• Protect users, the public, or the platform
   

We implement reasonable technical, administrative, and organizational safeguards to protect non-public data.

However, you acknowledge that:

• Blockchain data is inherently public
   
• No system is 100% secure
   
• You are responsible for securing your wallet and private keys
   

Public Respect is not responsible for losses resulting from compromised wallets or user-side security failures.

• On-chain data: Stored permanently on the blockchain
   
• Profile and app data: Retained while your account remains active
   
• Verification data: Retained only as long as required for legal or compliance purposes
   

Users may request deletion of off-chain profile data where legally permissible.

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to:

• Access your data
   
• Request corrections
   
• Request deletion (off-chain data only)
   
• Withdraw consent for optional data usage
   

Requests can be made via the contact details below.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be reflected by updating the “Effective Date”.

Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
