At Parallax Network, we respect and value your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your personal data when you interact with the Parallax Network App, our website, and related services.
We are committed to complying with all legal obligations and ensuring the safety of your personal data. By using our services, you agree to the terms outlined in this policy.
1. Information We Collect
We collect the following types of data to ensure the consensus mechanism works fairly and to display relevant advertising:
1.1 Personal Data & Account Information
- Email Address (Required for account authentication and recovery);
- Username/Handle;
- Country (Used for network distribution analytics).
1.2 Fuzzy Biometric Data (Optional)
We are gradually rolling out the Fuzzy Biometric Hash, an optional feature to prevent bot farms and prove account uniqueness. Your face is scanned and converted into an irreversible cryptographic hash entirely on your device. Important: no photo, video, or image of your face is ever stored or transmitted, neither to our servers nor to the blockchain.
When you choose to use it, we receive only the irreversible hash and anonymous technical measurements (such as lighting quality and how steady the scan was) used to improve reliability. The hash cannot be reversed back into your face. This feature is optional and is never required to log in or to mine; it is required only to migrate your tokens to the mainnet. Liveness and anti-spoofing safeguards are planned for the migration phase. You can remove this data at any time by deleting your account.
1.3 Automatically Collected Data & Identifiers
- Device Information: Device model, OS version, and unique identifiers to prevent multi-accounting.
- Advertising ID (AD_ID): Used by Google AdMob to deliver personalized advertisements and analytics.
- App Interaction Data: Logs of consensus sessions (time started/ended) and app performance logs (Crashlytics).
- IP Address: For security, fraud detection, and approximate location (Country level).
2. How We Use Your Information
- Provide Core Services: Create and maintain your account and enable consensus participation.
- Improve Services: Analyze network load and fix bugs.
- Advertising: To display Rewarded Ads via Google AdMob (Advertising ID is used here).
- Communicate with You: Send security alerts or major updates.
- Security & Compliance: Detect and ban bot networks or scripted attacks using device fingerprints.
3. Sharing Your Information
We do not sell or rent your personal information to third parties. We may share data only in specific circumstances:
- Service Providers: Trusted partners including Google Firebase (Authentication, Notifications) and Google AdMob (Advertising) bound by strict confidentiality.
- Legal Requirements: If required by court order or government regulation.
- Business Transfers: In the event of a merger or acquisition.
4. Data Retention
We retain your data only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. If you delete your account, your personal identifiers (Email) are removed immediately from our active databases.
5. Security of Your Data
We implement robust measures to protect your information:
- Encryption: Sensitive data is encrypted in transit (HTTPS/SSL) and at rest.
- Access Control: Only authorized personnel can access server data.
However, please note that no system is completely secure. While we strive to protect your data, we cannot guarantee absolute security against sophisticated cyber attacks.
6. Your Data Rights

- Access the personal data we hold about you;
- Correction of inaccurate information;
- Deletion of your personal data (Account Termination).
To exercise any of these rights, please contact our Data Protection Officer at support@parallaxnetwork.xyz.
