Privacy Policy
Effective date: August 20, 2026
This Privacy Policy (this "Policy") applies to the Intuition web application and related services (the "Service") operated by Intuition Systems, Inc. ("we," "our," "us," "Intuition," or the "Company"). It describes how we handle and protect information you provide when using our platform. If you do not agree to the terms of this Policy, please do not use the Service.
Your privacy is important to us. This Policy outlines the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the measures we take to protect it. Because Intuition is a blockchain-based knowledge graph protocol, some of your activity results in data recorded permanently on a public blockchain. Please read this Policy carefully, especially the section on on-chain and off-chain data.
Table of Contents
1. Information We Collect
We collect information you provide directly to us and information generated through your use of the Service:
Account Information
- Email address and hashed password when you register with email
- Wallet address when you authenticate via Sign-In With Ethereum (SIWE) — wallet addresses are public blockchain identifiers
- Profile data from Google (and other sign-in providers if we add them) if you choose to connect them, including display name and avatar
Profile & Content Information
- Display name, bio, and avatar you provide
- Media uploads including files, file names, types, and sizes
- User preferences and application settings
Usage & Analytics Data
- Pages visited, features used, and interactions with the Service
- Device information, browser type, and IP address
- Diagnostic and performance data
Communications
- Messages and inquiries you send to us
- Feedback and support requests
2. On-Chain vs. Off-Chain Data
Intuition is a decentralized knowledge graph protocol built on the Intuition blockchain, a public network whose records anyone can read. Your activity on the Service creates two distinct categories of data with very different privacy properties. Understanding this distinction is critical.
On-Chain Data — Permanently Public and Immutable
The following actions are recorded directly on the Intuition blockchain. Once written, this data cannot be modified, hidden, or deleted — by us or anyone else. It is permanently and publicly visible to anyone:
- Cards you create — the records that represent people, concepts, organizations, and links in the knowledge graph
- Claims you create — the relationships you assert between cards, each a subject, a predicate, and an object (for example, "Alice is-a Developer")
- Vault deposits and withdrawals — TRUST staked to signal trust in a card or a claim through bonding curves
- Wallet addresses — inherently public on-chain identifiers associated with your transactions
By using the on-chain features of the Service, you acknowledge and accept that this data is irrevocably public and that we have no ability to remove it from the blockchain.
Off-Chain Data — Stored on Our Servers
The following data is stored on our servers and is subject to standard data protection practices. It can be modified, corrected, or deleted upon your request subject to applicable law:
- Email address and account credentials
- Session data and authentication tokens
- Uploaded media files and their metadata
- Profile information (display name, avatar, preferences)
- Usage analytics and application logs
We are not responsible for on-chain content that violates applicable law or these terms. While we may hide on-chain content from the Service's user interface, the underlying blockchain data remains permanently accessible through other means.
3. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, maintain, and improve the Service
- Process transactions and send related confirmations and receipts
- Authenticate your identity and manage your account and sessions
- Send technical notices, security alerts, updates, and support messages
- Respond to your comments, questions, and requests
- Monitor and analyze trends, usage patterns, and activities on the Service
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent or unauthorized activity
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
- Personalize your experience based on your preferences and settings
4. Information Sharing
We do not sell or share your personal information for money or other valuable consideration, and we do not use it for targeted advertising. We may share your information only in the following circumstances:
- Service providers: We share information with vendors, contractors, and other service providers who perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting, analytics, email delivery, payment processing). These parties are bound by confidentiality obligations.
- Legal compliance: We may disclose information if required by law, court order, or governmental authority, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of Intuition, our users, or the public.
- Business transfers: If Intuition is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
- Blockchain (inherently public): On-chain actions are broadcast to and recorded on the Intuition blockchain by design. This is not a disclosure by us — it is an inherent property of public blockchains.
- With your consent: We may share information in other ways with your explicit consent.
6. Data Security
We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your off-chain personal information against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, and regular security reviews.
However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure and reliable. We cannot guarantee the absolute security of your information. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your wallet private keys and credentials — we will never ask for your private keys.
7. Data Retention
Off-Chain Data
We retain your off-chain personal information for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide the Service. When you ask us to close your account, we will delete or anonymize your personal information, except where we are required to retain it to comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, or enforce our agreements.
On-Chain Data — Cannot Be Deleted
Data recorded on the Intuition blockchain (cards, claims, vault transactions, wallet addresses) is permanent and immutable. We have no technical ability to delete or modify this data. Closing your Intuition account does not remove your on-chain activity from the blockchain.
How long we keep off-chain data
We keep off-chain personal information only for as long as we need it for the purpose we collected it for, and then delete it or make it permanently anonymous. To decide how long that is, we weigh the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the information, the risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, whether the purpose can be achieved another way, and the legal, accounting, or reporting obligations that apply to us — including establishing or defending legal claims and preventing fraud.
In practice:
- Account records (email, display name, avatar, preferences, wallet links) are kept for as long as your account exists, and for 30 days after you ask us to close it.
- Sign-in sessions expire automatically. Cached session state is kept for no more than 7 days.
- Your record of accepting these policies (the policy version, the date, and the IP address and browser you accepted from) is kept for 6 years so we can show which terms applied to your account. Unused sign-up records expire after 10 minutes and are purged automatically.
- Uploaded media is kept for as long as it is referenced by your account or by content you have published.
- Analytics and diagnostic records are kept for up to 7 years under our analytics provider's retention settings (see Section 10), after which they are deleted automatically.
- Support and other messages you send us are kept for 24 months.
- Your marketing opt-out record (your email address, how you opted out, and when — plus the IP address and browser only when you confirmed from an email footer link) is kept for as long as we need it to honour your opt-out, including after you ask us to erase everything else, so we never email you again by mistake.
- Administrative audit records are written when one of our team members — or, for invite redemptions, you yourself — acts on your account or your data, for example issuing or redeeming an invite or taking an email address off our marketing opt-out list. Each record names who acted, the action, when it happened, and the details needed to account for it, which can include your email address, your name, an invite code, the reason given, and any notes our team recorded. These records are kept for 6 years so we can show who did what, and they are kept even if the underlying record (such as an opt-out) has since been removed.
Where we cannot delete information immediately — for example because it sits in a backup archive — we isolate it from any further processing and delete it when the backup cycle allows.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your location, you may have certain rights regarding your personal information. These rights apply only to off-chain data we hold — they cannot extend to data recorded on a public blockchain.
- Access: Request a copy of the personal information we hold about you.
- Correction: Request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal information.
- Deletion: Ask us to erase your off-chain personal information — email address, sessions, marketing preferences, analytics identifiers, and support correspondence — by emailing the address below, since there is no self-service delete control today, subject to legal retention obligations. We keep a minimal marketing opt-out record and any administrative audit records (see Section 7) so we can keep honouring your opt-out and account for our own actions. On-chain records cannot be deleted.
- Data portability: Request your personal information in a structured, machine-readable format.
- Objection / opt-out: Object to certain types of data processing, including direct marketing.
How to exercise your rights
Email [email protected] with the subject “Privacy request” and tell us which right you want to exercise. We may ask you to confirm that the account is yours before we act — normally by replying from the email address on the account, or by signing a message with the wallet linked to it. If you use an authorized agent, we may ask for a copy of a valid power of attorney or equivalent written authorization.
If you are in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom. Intuition Systems, Inc. is the controller of the personal information described in this Policy. Under the GDPR and UK GDPR you may ask us to give you access to your personal information, correct it, delete it, transfer a machine-readable copy of it, restrict how we process it, or object to processing we carry out on the basis of our legitimate interests — including profiling for direct marketing. Where we rely on your consent, you can withdraw it at any time without affecting anything we did before you withdrew it. We will answer within one month of receiving your request, and will tell you if we need up to two further months because the request is complex. If you are not satisfied with our answer, you can complain to the data protection authority where you live or work. For the United Kingdom that is the Information Commissioner's Office, Water Lane, Wycliffe House, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF, +44 303 123 1113. This right to complain is not affected by anything in our Terms of Service.
If you are a resident of California or another U.S. state with a privacy law that applies to us. You may ask us what categories of personal information we have collected about you, where we got it, why we collected it, and which categories of third parties we disclosed it to; ask for a copy of it; ask us to correct or delete it; and appeal a decision if we refuse. We will confirm receipt within 10 business days and respond within 45 days, extending by a further 45 days where permitted if we tell you why. You will never be treated differently for exercising these rights.
We do not sell or share your personal information for money or other valuable consideration, and we do not use it for targeted advertising, including cross-context behavioral advertising. When your browser sends a Global Privacy Control signal, we treat it as an opt-out and we do not load optional analytics, even if you granted analytics earlier. We do not treat Do Not Track as a Global Privacy Control signal.
Automated screening. Before you can use the Service the wallet address you connect is checked against the Chainalysis sanctions oracle, a public on-chain registry, through our blockchain node provider, which receives the wallet address being checked, and we block accounts that match. This check runs automatically. If you believe a block is wrong, contact [email protected] and a person will review it.
Deletion and the blockchain
Data protection law gives you a right to have personal information erased. We can honour that right for everything we hold on our own servers. We cannot honour it for anything already written to the Intuition blockchain, because no one — including us — can alter or remove a confirmed blockchain record. That is a property of the technology, not a choice we make.
Put plainly, your data falls into two buckets. On-chain records — the cards and claims you create, your vault activity, and the wallet addresses written to the Intuition blockchain — are public and permanent, and cannot be deleted by us or by anyone else. Off-chain personal information — your email address, sessions, marketing preferences, analytics identifiers, and support correspondence — can be erased on request, except the minimal marketing opt-out record and the administrative audit records described in Section 7, which we keep so we can keep honouring your opt-out and account for our own actions. There is no self-service delete control today: email [email protected] with the subject “Privacy request” and we will act within the timeframes stated above, subject to the legal retention obligations described in Section 7.
When you ask us to erase your data, we will:
- delete or anonymize your account record, profile, preferences, uploaded media, and support correspondence;
- remove the link in our systems between your wallet address and your account identity, so that our off-chain records no longer identify you as the person behind those transactions;
- stop any further off-chain processing of your personal information, other than the minimum record we must keep to prove we handled your request and to meet our own legal obligations; and
- hide, where you ask and where it is technically possible, content associated with your wallet address from the Intuition interface.
We will not be able to:
- remove cards, claims, vault positions, or transactions from the blockchain; or
- prevent anyone else from reading that data through a block explorer, a node, or a copy of the chain that we do not control.
Treat every on-chain action as a publication you cannot retract. Do not put information into a card, claim, or profile you would not be willing to publish permanently.
Where the GDPR applies, we rely on Article 17(3) to decline erasure of on-chain records: deleting them is technically impossible for us, the blockchain is operated by independent nodes whose copies we do not control, and those records are needed to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims and to keep the shared ledger accurate. We will still erase every off-chain copy we hold, as described above.
Governing law and disputes
This Policy is governed by the law stated in Section 16 of our Terms of Service, and any dispute about it is resolved the way Section 14 of those Terms describes, including the arbitration agreement and the class action waiver.
Two things are unaffected by that. First, if you live in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, you keep the right to complain to your national data protection authority and to the protection of the mandatory consumer law of the country you live in — nothing here removes those. Second, if you live in a U.S. state whose privacy law gives you a right that cannot be waived by contract, that right still applies.
9. Children's Privacy
The Service involves interaction with cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and financial instruments. It is not intended for, and should not be used by, individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] and we will take steps to investigate and remove such information from our off-chain systems.
10. Third-Party Services
The Service relies on the providers below. Except where noted, they are third parties, and Intuition is not responsible for their data handling practices. We encourage you to review their respective privacy policies:
Intuition Blockchain
On-chain activity is recorded on the Intuition blockchain, a public network. Every transaction is visible to anyone through a block explorer at explorer.intuition.systems. The TRUST token also exists on Base, a public Ethereum Layer 2 network operated by Coinbase, which has its own terms and policies.
Wallet Providers
When connecting a wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect), you interact with those providers' software under their terms. We receive only your wallet's public address.
Sign-in Providers (Google, and others if we add them)
If you choose to sign in with Google — or with another provider we may add later — that provider shares limited profile data (name, email, avatar) with us under its OAuth flow. You can revoke this access through that provider's account settings at any time.
Stripe (Payment Processing)
We create a Stripe customer record when you sign up, which sends your email address and display name to Stripe. If you make a payment, your card details are collected and processed directly by Stripe; we never store card numbers. Please review Stripe's Privacy Policy.
PostHog (Product Analytics)
During closed testing, optional analytics is enabled automatically unless you have opted out or your browser sends Global Privacy Control. You can turn it off in Settings. Where enabled in the Dev environment, PostHog receives usage events, sanitized error reports, and masked session replays to help us diagnose failures. Text and inputs are masked, and media is blocked from replays. Error reports exclude request payloads and identity properties. Events use an account identifier while signed in or a temporary random identifier otherwise; approximate-location lookup is disabled. Events are sent to PostHog in the United States. Turning analytics off stops capture and recording. We can change the testing policy to require explicit opt-in without overriding a stored opt-out.
Sentry (Error Diagnostics)
We send application errors and a sample of performance traces to Sentry so we can diagnose faults. These reports run whether or not you accept analytics storage, because they are necessary to keep the Service working, and they can include your browser and the page you were on.
Resend (Email Delivery)
Transactional email — sign-in and verification messages, security notices, and support replies — is delivered by Resend, which receives your email address and display name. Resend also delivers our alpha invitation emails, which are marketing mail: every one carries an unsubscribe link and a one-click unsubscribe header, and once you opt out we stop sending them.
Brevo (Newsletter and Waitlist Email)
When you join the waitlist or create an account through our onboarding site, your email address and name are added to our newsletter list in Brevo, which sends product updates and announcements on our behalf. Every message Brevo sends includes an unsubscribe link, and you can also ask us to remove you at any time via [email protected].
Chainalysis (Sanctions Screening)
Before you can use the Service, the wallet address you connect is checked automatically against the Chainalysis sanctions oracle, a public on-chain registry, through our blockchain node provider, which receives the wallet address being checked. A match blocks access to the Service. If you believe a block is wrong, contact [email protected] and a person will review it.
Geo Targetly (Geolocation)
A geolocation script from Geo Targetly runs on most pages so that we can tailor region-specific content and comply with regional requirements. It receives your IP address and the address of the page you are viewing.
Media Storage
Files you upload are held by a cloud object-storage provider (Google Cloud Storage or an S3-compatible service) that stores them on our behalf under contract.
Recommendations (Operated by Intuition)
When you interact with your feed, we record those interactions against your account on our own recommendation service so that we can rank what you see. This is a first-party service rather than a third party, and it is not governed by your analytics storage choice.
Links to Other Websites
The Service may contain links to external websites. These sites are not operated by us, and we have no control over their content or privacy practices. We strongly advise reviewing the privacy policy of any third-party site you visit.
11. Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, or legal requirements. When we make material changes, we will notify you by updating the effective date at the top of this Policy and, where appropriate, by sending an email notification or displaying a notice within the Service. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information.
Your continued use of the Service after any changes become effective constitutes your acceptance of the revised Policy.
