This Privacy Policy explains how Coin Fortress LLC ("Coin Fortress," "we," "us," or "our"), the operator of the Satoshi Boards application and website at satoshiboards.com (the "Service"), collects, uses, and shares information. By using the Service, you agree to this Policy. It should be read together with our Terms of Use.
When you create an account we collect a username, your public Bitcoin SV (BSV) wallet address, and — if you enable direct messages — your public key. We do not require or collect your legal name, email address, phone number, or a password to register, and we do not store your extended public key (xpub) or any other key material capable of deriving your addresses.
We collect and store the content you submit — posts, comments, and votes — along with timestamps and the username associated with them. Posts, comments, and vote counts are public and visible to other users. Your content is stored on our servers; it is not recorded on the blockchain.
Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted on your device before they reach us. We store only the encrypted ciphertext and cannot read the contents of your messages.
To operate the pay-per-action model we record activity such as the actions you take, the fees you pay, amounts you receive, and related records used for accounting and reconciliation. Your payments occur on the public BSV blockchain (see Section 3).
Like most online services, we automatically receive certain technical information when you use the Service, including your IP address, browser or device type, and server log data (such as requests, timestamps, and error information) used for security, debugging, and operating the Service.
We never receive or store your private keys or backup key file — they are generated and kept on your device (encrypted in your browser's storage) and are used to sign transactions locally. We also do not currently collect your name, email, or password, and we do not use advertising or third-party analytics trackers.
We use a small number of strictly necessary cookies to operate the Service. We do not use advertising or analytics cookies. Our cookies are:
Your browser may also store your encrypted wallet key locally; that data stays on your device and is not transmitted to us.
Payments and revenue-sharing happen on the public Bitcoin SV blockchain. Wallet addresses, transaction amounts, and transaction history recorded on the blockchain are public, permanent, and outside our control. We cannot change, hide, or delete anything recorded on the blockchain. Only payments are recorded there — not your posts, comments, or messages.
The Service shows each author's payout address alongside their username, so anyone can link that address to the account. Because payments go directly to authors, others watching the blockchain may be able to infer your activity in the Service, such as which content you viewed, voted on, or commented on.
We do not sell your personal information. We share information only as follows:
We retain account, content, and activity data for as long as your account is active and as needed to operate the Service, comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. If you delete your content, we remove it from the Service, though copies may remain in backups for a limited period, or where the law requires us to keep them. Transactions recorded on the public blockchain are permanent and cannot be deleted.
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, including encryption in transit (HTTPS), end-to-end encryption of direct messages, and a non-custodial design in which your keys stay on your device. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and you are responsible for safeguarding your device, credentials, and wallet keys.
Depending on where you live, you may have rights to access, correct, or delete personal information we hold about you, and to object to or restrict certain processing. To make a request, contact us at the address below; we may need to verify your request. Please note that we cannot alter or delete information recorded on the public blockchain, and some content may be retained where required or where it is not tied to your identity.
California residents: we do not sell or "share" personal information as those terms are defined under California law, and we do not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. Users in the EEA/UK: where applicable, our lawful bases for processing are performance of our contract with you, our legitimate interests in operating and securing the Service, and compliance with law.
The Service is not directed to, and is not intended for, anyone under 18. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has provided us information, contact us and we will delete it.
We operate from, and process and store information in, the United States. If you use the Service from outside the United States, you understand that your information will be transferred to and processed in the United States, which may have different data-protection laws than your country.
We may update this Policy from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised Policy here and update the effective date. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Policy.
