Your privacy matters to us. We're committed to protecting your personal information and being transparent about how we collect, use, and safeguard your data when you interact with Searchseekaroo's mining and consensus algorithm platform.

Last Updated: March 15, 2025

Information We Collect

At Searchseekaroo, we collect different types of information to provide you with our mining and consensus algorithm services. Understanding what we collect helps you make informed decisions about sharing your data with us.

Personal Information: When you create an account or contact us, we collect basic details like your name, email address, and contact information. For users in Slovakia and other regions, we may also collect billing addresses and phone numbers for verification purposes.

Technical Data: Our platform automatically collects technical information about your device and browsing patterns. This includes your IP address, browser type, operating system, and how you navigate through our site. We use this data to improve our platform's performance and troubleshoot technical issues.

We never collect sensitive financial information like full credit card numbers or bank account details on our servers. All payment processing is handled by certified third-party processors.

Usage Analytics: We track how you use our mining algorithm tools and educational resources. This helps us understand which features are most valuable and where we can make improvements. However, we don't monitor the actual content of your mining activities or algorithms you develop.

Communication Records: When you reach out to our support team or participate in our learning programs, we keep records of these interactions to provide better service and follow up on your requests effectively.

How We Use Your Information

Your information serves specific purposes that directly benefit your experience with our platform. We believe in using data purposefully rather than collecting everything we possibly can.

Service Delivery: We use your personal information to provide access to our mining and consensus algorithm tools, process your requests, and maintain your account security. This includes sending important updates about platform changes or security issues.

Educational Enhancement: Your usage patterns help us improve our learning programs and develop new educational content. If you're enrolled in our Slovakia-focused training modules, we use this data to customize content for regional requirements and regulations.

  • Personalizing your dashboard and tool recommendations
  • Sending relevant educational content and platform updates
  • Analyzing platform performance to identify areas for improvement
  • Providing technical support and troubleshooting assistance
  • Conducting research to develop new features and services

Security and Fraud Prevention: We analyze usage patterns to detect unusual activity that might indicate security threats or unauthorized access attempts. This protects both your account and our entire user community.

Legal Compliance: Sometimes we use your information to comply with legal requirements or respond to valid legal requests from authorities, particularly regarding cryptocurrency and mining activities in various jurisdictions.

Information Sharing and Third Parties

We're selective about who we share your information with. We don't sell your personal data to marketers or data brokers, and we only share information when it directly supports your use of our services.

Service Providers: We work with trusted third-party companies that help us operate our platform. This includes cloud hosting providers, email services, and payment processors. All these partners are required to maintain the same privacy standards we follow.

Educational Partners: For users participating in our learning programs, we may share progress and completion data with educational institutions or certification bodies, but only with your explicit consent and only the minimum information necessary.

We never share your mining algorithms, technical configurations, or proprietary development work with any third parties. Your intellectual property remains completely private.

Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law, court order, or government regulation. This is particularly relevant for cryptocurrency and mining activities, which are subject to various regulations in different countries including Slovakia.

Business Transfers: If Searchseekaroo is acquired or merges with another company, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We would notify you in advance and ensure the new entity maintains the same privacy protections.

Your Privacy Rights and Controls

You have significant control over your personal information. We've built our platform to make it easy for you to access, modify, or delete your data as needed.

Access and Correction: You can view and update most of your personal information directly through your account dashboard. If you need help accessing information that's not readily available, contact our support team and we'll provide it within 30 days.

Data Deletion: You can request complete deletion of your account and associated data at any time. We'll permanently remove your information within 60 days, except for data we're legally required to retain for compliance purposes.

  • Download all your personal data in a portable format
  • Correct any inaccurate information in your profile
  • Opt out of non-essential communications and marketing
  • Request detailed reports about how your data is being used
  • Object to certain types of data processing activities

Communication Preferences: You control what types of emails and notifications you receive from us. Educational updates and critical security alerts are essential communications, but you can opt out of promotional content and feature announcements.

Regional Rights: Users in Slovakia and other European Union countries have additional rights under GDPR, including the right to data portability and the right to object to automated decision-making processes.

Data Security and Protection

Protecting your information is a top priority, especially given the technical nature of our mining and consensus algorithm platform. We implement multiple layers of security to safeguard your data.

Encryption: All data transmission between your device and our servers uses industry-standard TLS encryption. Sensitive information stored in our databases is encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption standards.

Access Controls: Our team members only have access to the minimum information necessary for their specific roles. We regularly review and update access permissions, and all access is logged and monitored for unusual activity.

We conduct regular security audits and penetration testing to identify and address potential vulnerabilities before they can be exploited by malicious actors.

Infrastructure Security: Our platform runs on secure cloud infrastructure with built-in redundancy and backup systems. We maintain geographically distributed backups to ensure your data remains safe and accessible even in case of hardware failures.

Incident Response: We have established procedures for responding to potential security incidents. If a breach occurs that affects your personal information, we'll notify you within 72 hours and provide clear information about what happened and what steps we're taking.

Data Retention and Storage

We don't keep your information longer than necessary. Our retention policies are designed to balance your privacy rights with legitimate business needs and legal requirements.

Account Data: While your account is active, we maintain your profile information and usage history to provide personalized service. When you close your account, we delete most personal information within 60 days.

Educational Records: If you complete courses or earn certifications through our platform, we retain these records for seven years to verify credentials and provide transcripts when requested. This is standard practice in the education industry.

Technical Logs: Server logs and technical data are typically retained for 12 months for troubleshooting and security purposes, then automatically purged unless there's a specific legal requirement to retain them longer.

Legal Compliance: Some information must be retained longer to comply with financial regulations, tax requirements, or other legal obligations. This particularly applies to payment records and business communications in jurisdictions like Slovakia.

International Data Transfers

As a global platform serving users in Slovakia and many other countries, we sometimes transfer your information across international borders. We ensure these transfers meet strict privacy and security standards.

Transfer Safeguards: When we transfer data outside your home country, we use approved mechanisms like Standard Contractual Clauses or work with providers that have adequacy decisions from relevant privacy authorities.

EU-US Transfers: For users in Slovakia and other EU countries, we ensure any transfers to the United States or other third countries comply with GDPR requirements and provide equivalent protection to EU privacy standards.

You can request information about where your data is stored and processed at any time. We'll provide clear details about which countries your information may be transferred to and why.

Data Localization: Where possible and practical, we store data from European users on servers located within the European Economic Area to minimize the need for international transfers.

Children's Privacy

Our platform is designed for adults and professionals working with mining and consensus algorithms. We don't knowingly collect personal information from children under 18 years of age.

Age Verification: During account registration, we require users to confirm they are at least 18 years old or have reached the age of majority in their jurisdiction. This is particularly important given the technical and potentially financial nature of mining activities.

Parental Controls: If we discover we have collected information from someone under 18 without proper parental consent, we will delete that information immediately. Parents or guardians can contact us to request removal of any information collected from minors.

Educational Use: For educational institutions that want to use our platform for teaching blockchain and mining concepts to students, we provide special arrangements that comply with student privacy laws and require appropriate consent from parents or educational institutions.

Policy Changes and Updates

Privacy laws and our platform capabilities evolve over time, so we may need to update this policy periodically. We're committed to keeping you informed about any significant changes.

Notification Process: When we make meaningful changes to this privacy policy, we'll notify you via email and display a prominent notice on our platform. For minor updates like clarifications or formatting changes, we'll simply update the "Last Modified" date.
