Privacy Policy
Last updated: April 2025 — ZIRA Protocol1. Overview
This Privacy Policy explains how ZIRA Protocol (“ZIRA”, “we”, “our”) collects, uses, stores, and protects information you provide when using our website (zira.network) and participating in the ZIRA Foundation Round. We take your privacy seriously and handle your data with care.
2. What we collect
When you submit a Foundation position request, we collect:
- Name: As provided in the registration form
- Email address: Used to send your securing code, payment address, and position confirmation
- Position size: The USDT amount you chose to commit
- Securing code: A unique identifier generated at submission, linked to your registration
- Submission timestamp: When your registration was received
We do not collect your wallet address, government ID, phone number, or payment method details. You send USDT directly to a protocol-controlled address — we receive no banking or card information.
3. Website data
Like most websites, our servers may record standard access logs including IP addresses, browser type, referring pages, and access timestamps. This data is used solely for security monitoring and aggregate analytics. We use no tracking pixels, no behavioural analytics platforms, and no advertising trackers on zira.network.
We use localStorage in your browser to save the Foundation countdown timer state across page reloads. This data stays in your browser and is never transmitted to us.
4. How we use your data
We use your personal data exclusively for:
- Sending you your securing code and TRC-20 USDT payment address
- Confirming your payment and locking your Foundation position
- Communicating about ZIRA activation and your ZIR distribution
- Sending infrequent protocol updates directly relevant to Foundation participants
- Processing any refund requests if the activation threshold is not reached
We do not use your data for advertising, profiling, or any purpose unrelated to your Foundation participation.
5. Who we share data with
We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal data. We may share it only with:
- Transactional email providers: Necessary to send your securing code and confirmation emails. These providers are contractually bound to confidentiality and may not use your data for any other purpose.
- Legal authorities: If required by law, court order, or to prevent fraud, we may disclose data to relevant authorities. We will notify you if legally permitted to do so.
6. The positions monitor
The Foundation positions monitor on our website displays anonymized participation data. Your name and email are never shown publicly. The monitor shows:
- A generated Position ID (e.g., ZF-00041) — not linked to your name
- Initials (e.g., “A.M.”) — these are randomly generated, not your actual initials
- Position size (USDT amount)
- Relative timestamp (e.g., “3h ago”)
This data is manually curated by the ZIRA team and contains no information that could identify you.
7. Data retention
We retain your registration data for as long as necessary to:
- Complete your Foundation participation and ZIR distribution
- Process any refund claims (up to 12 months after activation or non-activation announcement)
- Comply with applicable legal obligations
After this period, your personal data is deleted from our systems. Anonymized aggregate statistics (total participants, total committed, etc.) may be retained indefinitely for protocol history.
8. Your rights
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:
- Access: Request a copy of the personal data we hold about you
- Correction: Request correction of inaccurate data (e.g., email address)
- Deletion: Request deletion of your data, subject to legal retention requirements. Note: if you request deletion before activation, your position may be cancelled without refund.
- Portability: Request your data in a machine-readable format
- Objection: Object to certain uses of your data
To exercise any of these rights, contact us at privacy@zira.network with your securing code as identification. We will respond within 30 days.
9. Data security
We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect your personal data against unauthorised access, loss, or destruction. These include:
- Encrypted storage of registration data
- Access controls limiting data access to authorised team members only
- Secure (TLS) transmission of all data between your browser and our servers
No security measure is perfect. In the event of a data breach affecting your personal information, we will notify you within 72 hours of becoming aware of it, in accordance with applicable law.
10. Children
ZIRA services are not directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If you believe a minor has submitted a Foundation registration, please contact us and we will delete the associated data immediately.
11. Third-party links
Our website may link to third-party sites (e.g., documentation platforms, community channels). This Privacy Policy applies only to zira.network. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party sites.
12. Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated “Last updated” date. If changes are material, we will notify Foundation participants by email.
13. Contact
