Privacy Policy

Last updated: February 12, 2026

Chain Sentinel ("we", "us", "our") provides an AI-powered scam token detection service for the Solana blockchain. We take your privacy seriously and want to be upfront about what we collect and why.

1. What we collect

Account information

When you create an account, we store your email address, username, and a hashed version of your password. If you sign in with Google or Phantom Wallet, we receive your public profile info (name, email, wallet address) from those providers. We never see or store your private keys.

Usage data

We log API requests (which endpoints you call, when, and how long they take) to enforce rate limits and improve the service. We also collect basic browser and device info through standard HTTP headers.

Blockchain data

We analyze publicly available data from the Solana blockchain — token metadata, transaction histories, holder distributions, and wallet activity. This is all public information that anyone can access.

2. How we use it

  • To provide and improve our scam detection service
  • To manage your account and authenticate API requests
  • To send you alerts about suspicious tokens (only if you opt in)
  • To train and improve our machine learning models
  • To detect abuse and protect the platform

3. What we don't do

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not use third-party advertising or tracking cookies. We do not share your data with marketers.

4. Who we share data with

We only share data in limited circumstances:

  • Infrastructure providers — our servers are hosted in the Netherlands (EU). We use standard cloud infrastructure to run the service.
  • Authentication providers — Google (for OAuth sign-in) and Phantom (for wallet authentication) receive data necessary for the login flow.
  • Legal obligations — if required by law, court order, or to protect the safety of our users.

5. Security

All connections use HTTPS/TLS encryption. Passwords are hashed with bcrypt. API keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes. We follow standard security practices, but no system is 100% secure — please use strong, unique passwords.

6. Cookies

We use essential cookies only — for keeping you logged in and remembering your preferences (like language). No tracking cookies, no analytics cookies, no ad cookies.

7. Data retention

  • Account data — kept while your account is active. Deleted within 30 days of account deletion.
  • API logs — kept for 90 days, then automatically purged.
  • Blockchain data — public data is retained indefinitely as part of our detection database.

8. Your rights

You can access, correct, export, or delete your personal data at any time through your account settings, or by contacting us. If you're in the EU, you have additional rights under GDPR — just reach out and we'll help.

9. Age requirement

Chain Sentinel is not intended for anyone under 18. We don't knowingly collect data from minors.

10. Changes

If we make significant changes to this policy, we'll notify you via email or a notice on the dashboard. Minor updates (like clarifications) may happen without notice.
