Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you use the Polymarket websites, applications, and services, how we use it, and the choices available to you. It applies to information collected through the Services and does not apply to third-party sites we do not control.
1. Information we collect
We collect the following categories of information:
- Wallet information. Public blockchain addresses you connect to the Services, together with the transaction history associated with those addresses that is publicly available on the relevant blockchain.
- Device and usage data. IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages viewed, and timestamps.
- Support communications. The content of messages you send to our support team, including any attachments.
- Account information. Where you create an account using a third-party identity provider, the identifier and email address returned by that provider.
We do not collect your recovery phrase or private key, and we do not ask for them. Do not send them to us through any channel.
2. How we use information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, operate, and maintain the Services;
- Process transactions and display your positions and balances;
- Respond to support requests and communicate service notices;
- Detect, investigate, and prevent fraud, abuse, and security incidents;
- Comply with legal, regulatory, and sanctions obligations;
- Analyse usage in order to improve the Services.
5. Retention
We retain information for as long as necessary to provide the Services and to satisfy legal, accounting, and reporting obligations. On-chain data is permanent and outside our control. Support communications are retained for up to twenty-four (24) months from the date of last contact.
6. Security
We maintain administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect information against unauthorised access, use, or disclosure. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.
7. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal information, and to object to certain processing. To exercise any of these rights, contact us through the support pages.
Requests are subject to verification. Rights relating to information recorded on a public blockchain cannot be fulfilled, as that information is immutable.
8. International transfers
Information may be processed in countries other than the one in which you reside. Where we transfer personal information across borders, we rely on appropriate safeguards, including standard contractual clauses.
9. Children
The Services are not directed to persons under eighteen (18) years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If we learn that we have, we will delete it.
10. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Material changes will be notified through the Services at least fourteen (14) days before they take effect.
11. Contact
Questions about this Privacy Policy may be directed to our support team through the support pages.
