1. Introduction

AGRIMINE.io ("AGRIMINE", "we", "our", or "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard information when you use our platform, protocol, and related services.

This policy applies to all users of agrimine.io, including visitors, registered users, producers, ambassadors, investors, and hub operators.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Information You Provide

2.3 Blockchain Data

All on-chain transactions — including loan issuances, repayments, ecosystem service disbursements, and governance votes — are permanently recorded on public blockchains. This data is publicly accessible and cannot be deleted. By participating in the protocol, you acknowledge this inherent transparency.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use collected information to:

• Operate and improve the AGRIMINE protocol and platform

4. Information Sharing and Disclosure

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We may share information in the following circumstances:

• Protocol participants: Producer profiles and impact metrics may be visible to investors and community members as part of the protocol's transparency design.
• Service providers: Trusted third-party providers who assist in operating our platform (hosting, analytics, security), bound by confidentiality agreements.

• Safety: To protect the rights, property, or safety of AGRIMINE, our users, or the public.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures including TLS encryption for data in transit, encrypted storage for sensitive data at rest, multi-factor authentication for administrative access, regular security audits, and intrusion detection systems.

However, no system is completely secure. We cannot guarantee absolute security and are not responsible for unauthorized access resulting from factors outside our reasonable control.
