Privacy Policy

Your privacy matters to us. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use Qubic Verified.

Last updated: December 6, 2025

Section 1

Information We Collect

Account Information

When you create an account, we collect your email address, username, and authentication credentials. This information is necessary to provide you with access to our services and to communicate with you about your account.

Digital Assets

When you upload digital assets for protection, we generate perceptual hashes (visual fingerprints) of your content. We store these hashes and associated metadata, but the original files are processed securely and not retained longer than necessary for hash generation.

Blockchain Data

Registration transactions on the Qubic blockchain are public by design. This includes timestamps and hash references, but not your personal information or original files.

Usage Data

We automatically collect information about how you interact with our services, including IP addresses, browser type, pages visited, and features used. This helps us improve our platform and detect potential security issues.

Section 2

How We Use Your Information

Service Provision

We use your information to operate, maintain, and improve Qubic Verified, including registering your digital assets on the blockchain, generating verification certificates, and detecting potential infringements.

Communication

We may send you service-related announcements, security alerts, and updates about your registered assets. You can opt out of non-essential communications at any time.

Security & Fraud Prevention

We analyze usage patterns to detect and prevent unauthorized access, abuse, and fraudulent activity on our platform.

Legal Compliance

We may use your information to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal processes.

Section 3

Information Sharing

Third-Party Service Providers

We work with trusted partners who assist in operating our services, including cloud hosting (infrastructure), authentication services, and analytics providers. These partners are contractually obligated to protect your information.

Blockchain Network

When you register an asset, a hash reference is recorded on the Qubic blockchain. This is a public, immutable record and cannot be deleted. No personal information is stored on-chain.

Legal Requirements

We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Qubic Verified, our users, or the public.

Business Transfers

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred to the acquiring entity.

Section 4

Data Security

Encryption

All data transmitted to and from Qubic Verified is encrypted using industry-standard TLS/SSL protocols. Sensitive data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.

Access Controls

We implement strict access controls and authentication mechanisms to ensure only authorized personnel can access user data, and only when necessary for service operation.

Regular Audits

We conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities.

Incident Response

We maintain incident response procedures to quickly address any security breaches and notify affected users as required by law.

Section 5

Your Rights & Choices

You can access, download, or request a copy of your personal data at any time through your account settings or by contacting us.

Correction

You can update or correct your account information at any time through your account settings.

Deletion

You can request deletion of your account and associated personal data. Note that blockchain records are immutable and cannot be deleted, but they contain only hash references, not personal information.
