PRIVACY

What we collect, why, and for how long.

What we collect

  • Photos you send, with the city, country, caption, X handle and wallet you choose to give. We remove all location data (EXIF/GPS) from the file when you upload it and keep the city only.
  • Ideas you propose, with the handle or wallet you choose to give.
  • Votes: your wallet address, your choice and your signature, which are public by design.
  • A hashed version of your IP address, only to stop spam (rate limits). We never store the IP itself.
  • Public blockchain data about $OVNI (balances and transfers), which is public anyway.

We don't use advertising trackers or sell anything about you.

Why

  • To show approved photos on the site and on OVNI's social accounts, run the weekly prizes and votes, pay winners, and keep the site safe.

How long

  • Approved photos stay online until the end of the project and its archive. Rejected photos are deleted within 30 days. Spam-protection data is deleted after 24 hours.
  • If postcards happen, mailing addresses will be encrypted, used only to mail your card and deleted right after.

Your choices

  • You can ask us to remove your photo or your data at any time. Blockchain data and votes can't be erased from the chain.

Who helps us

  • Vercel (hosting and file storage) and Neon (database) in the United States. If we turn on automated photo checks, OpenAI's moderation service analyses the photo; nothing is used to train models.
