Scope** This Privacy Policy applies to anyone who accesses, uses, or interacts with the Autopilot protocol, website, or documentation. *** ### **2. Data Collection** Autopilot does **not collect, track, or store** any personally identifiable information (PII).\ The Protocol is entirely permissionless and non-custodial. Autopilot: * Does **not** require user registration * Does **not** track wallet balances or user behavior * Does **not** store names, emails, or contact details * Does **not** collect IP addresses, device identifiers, or metadata The only information visible through Autopilot is **public blockchain data**. Autopilot is not a “data controller” or “data processor” under GDPR, CCPA, or other data-protection regulations, as it does not collect, process, or store personal information. *** ### **3. On-Chain Transparency** All actions within Autopilot are executed and logged **on-chain**.\ This includes: * veAERO and veVELO deposits * Voting allocations and rewards * Reward claiming and USDC conversion * Withdrawals All activity is recorded on the relevant blockchain (Base or Optimism) and is **publicly accessible**.\ Autopilot does not hide, censor, or control on-chain data.\ Users should assume all blockchain transactions are public and may be analyzed by third parties. *** ### **4. Website Analytics** Autopilot may use **privacy-focused analytics tools** on its public website (not within the on-chain protocol). These tools: * Do **not** collect wallet addresses or blockchain activity * Are limited to anonymized frontend metrics (browser type, session length, page views) * Are used only to improve usability and performance Data collection on the website follows a **data-minimization** approach and remains fully optional.\ Users can disable cookies or use privacy tools to block tracking entirely. *** ### **5. Third-Party Links** The Autopilot website or documentation may include links to third-party sites.\ Autopilot is **not responsible** for the content, practices, or privacy policies of external platforms. *** ### **6. Wallet Connection** Autopilot interacts with user wallets through standard **Web3 connection protocols** (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect).\ All connections occur client-side. Autopilot: * Does **not** access or store private keys or seed phrases * Does **not** initiate transactions without explicit user approval Users are solely responsible for safeguarding their wallet credentials. *** ### **7. Smart Contract Interactions** All user actions occur directly on-chain.\ Autopilot has **no access** to user funds and **no control** over how the blockchain records or transmits data.\ All smart-contract interactions are voluntary and initiated by the user. *** ### **8. Children’s Privacy** Autopilot is not intended for individuals under **18 years of age**.\ No information is knowingly collected from minors. *** ### **9. Changes and Continued Use** This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically.\ Users are encouraged to review it regularly to remain informed.\ Continued use of the Protocol or website constitutes acceptance of the latest version. *** ### 10.
