1. Introduction and Scope
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) explains how Cysic Foundation (“Cysic,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), as the data controller, collects, uses, stores, discloses, and protects information when you participate in the Cysic Airdrop (the “Airdrop”).
We are committed to safeguarding your privacy and handling your information transparently. Participation in the Airdrop is subject to this Policy as well as the Cysic Airdrop Terms of Service (“Terms”). By participating in the Airdrop, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agreed to this Policy.
This Policy applies solely to information collected for the Airdrop and does not govern data processing activities in other Cysic products, services, or websites, which may be governed by separate privacy policies.
2. Information We Collect
In connection with your participation in the Airdrop, we may collect and process the following categories of information:
a. Blockchain Information (Pseudonymous Data)
Public blockchain wallet address(es) you provide or connect to participate.
Public on-chain data and transaction history associated with such addresses, including interactions relevant to eligibility criteria (e.g., protocol usage, token holdings, computing-related actions, provers, or other ecosystem interactions).
This information is publicly visible on the blockchain but is specifically processed by us for Airdrop purposes.
b. Voluntarily Provided Information (Potentially Personal Data)
Collected only if you choose to provide it:
Social media identifiers (e.g., X/Twitter handle, Discord ID) for verification, community tasks, or referral programs.
Centralized exchange (CEX) identifiers or proof-of-transaction screenshots if voluntarily submitted to meet specific verification requirements.
Any additional information you submit as part of claim verification steps or dispute resolution processes.
c. Automatically Collected Information (Technical Data)
Collected when you interact with Airdrop-related interfaces:
IP address(es)
Browser type, device type, operating system
Interaction metadata necessary for fraud detection, duplicate prevention, and Airdrop integrity
These are primarily used for security and anti-abuse measures.
3. How We Use Your Information (Purpose of Processing)
We process your data exclusively for legitimate, clearly defined purposes:
a. Airdrop Administration
Verifying eligibility based on objective criteria defined in the Terms
Calculating allocation amounts
Distributing or enabling the claiming of Airdrop tokens to eligible wallet addresses
b. Security and Fraud Prevention
Detecting, preventing, and investigating Sybil attacks, bot activity, multi-wallet abuse, or attempts to manipulate the Airdrop
Ensuring security and integrity of the Airdrop infrastructure
c. Improvement and Analytics
Analyzing participation data to evaluate campaign effectiveness
Improving future community programs, reward mechanisms, or ecosystem offerings (Generally using aggregated or anonymized data)
d. Legal and Regulatory Compliance
Complying with applicable laws and regulations
Responding to lawful requests from regulatory or governmental authorities
Conducting sanctions or risk screening when required
We use your data solely for the purposes described above unless another legally permissible, compatible purpose arises.
4. Data Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell your personal data. We may disclose your information only under the following limited circumstances:
a. Service Providers
We may share data with vetted third-party providers assisting with:
Data analytics
Security, fraud detection, and bot prevention
Cloud hosting and infrastructure
Verification services (including KYC/AML, if required and subject to notice/consent)
These providers are contractually bound to protect your information and use it exclusively for our specified purposes.
b. Legal Requirements
We may disclose information if required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request, or if such disclosure is necessary to:
Comply with legal obligations

Prevent fraud or investigate violations
Protect safety of users or the public
c. Aggregated or Anonymized Information
We may share non-identifiable aggregated data for research, reporting, or ecosystem development.
d. Public Blockchain Data
Information stored on the blockchain (e.g., wallet addresses, transaction history) is inherently public and cannot be modified or removed by us.
5. Data Security
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including:
Encryption of sensitive data in transit and at rest
Strict access controls and authentication requirements
Continuous monitoring and scheduled security reviews
Secure development and infrastructure practices
However, no method of data transmission or storage is completely secure. You remain responsible for safeguarding your wallet private keys and credentials.
6. Data Retention
We retain your information only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, including:
The duration of the Airdrop
Allocation and distribution phases
Any vesting or claim-related periods
Legal, regulatory, and accounting obligations
After data is no longer needed, we delete or anonymize it unless further retention is legally required. Blockchain data remains permanently visible on the public ledger.
7. International Data Transfers
Cysic operates globally. Your information may be processed in jurisdictions outside your country of residence, including Singapore, the United States, or others where our service providers operate.
Where legally required, we implement safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses or equivalent protective mechanisms to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Correction — request corrections to inaccurate or incomplete data
Withdrawal of Consent — withdraw optional data submissions
Deletion — request deletion of personal data (subject to legal exceptions)
