Privacy Policy
Short version: we collect as little as possible. We don't sell anything. We don't run ads. The platform is built on a public blockchain — bet transactions are visible to anyone by design.
What we collect
When you use Tibotics we may collect:
- Wallet address — when you connect a wallet to place a bet. This is a public blockchain address, not personal information in the traditional sense.
- Email or phone number — only if you voluntarily sign up for the Lurker updates (daily decisions or results). We store this to send you the updates you asked for, nothing else.
- Standard web logs — IP address, browser type, pages visited. Retained for up to 30 days for security and debugging. Not sold or shared.
What we don't collect
- No name, address, or government ID
- No payment card information — all transactions go through your own wallet
- No tracking pixels, ad networks, or third-party analytics
- No cookies beyond what's strictly necessary to run the site
Blockchain transactions
All bets and competitor deposits are processed by a smart contract on the Base blockchain. These transactions are permanent and publicly visible to anyone. This is by design — it's what makes the competition transparent and trustless. We have no ability to delete or modify on-chain records.
Lurker updates
If you signed up for daily decisions or game results, we store your contact information (email or phone) to send those updates. You can unsubscribe at any time by replying STOP to any message or emailing us. We delete your contact information within 7 days of unsubscribing.
Engine submissions
If you submit a trading engine to compete, your variables.json or uploaded code is stored only for the duration of the competition. At game end, submitted codebases are deleted from our servers. The allocation decisions your engine makes during the competition are logged for scoring purposes and retained for the season record.
Third-party services
We use the following third-party services:
- Alpaca Markets — paper trading execution. Subject to Alpaca's privacy policy.
- Base blockchain / Coinbase — smart contract infrastructure. Transactions are public.
- Vultr — server hosting. Subject to Vultr's privacy policy.
- Anthropic Claude — powers the engine builder wizard. Prompts submitted through the wizard are processed by Anthropic's API. Subject to Anthropic's privacy policy.
Your rights
You can ask us to delete any personal data we hold about you (email, phone for lurker updates) at any time. We cannot delete on-chain transaction records — those are permanent by the nature of blockchain. To request deletion, contact us at the address below.
