Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 25th June 2025

This Privacy Policy explains how the Autopilot protocol ("Autopilot" or "the Protocol") handles user data. Autopilot is a non-custodial, decentralized system that operates entirely on-chain without collecting personal data or storing user information.


1. Scope

This Privacy Policy applies to all users who access, use, or interact with the Autopilot protocol, website, or documentation.


2. Data Collection

Autopilot does not collect or store any personally identifiable information (PII). The Protocol is fully non-custodial and permissionless. We:

  • Do not require user registration

  • Do not track wallet balances or user behavior

  • Do not store names, email addresses, or contact information

  • Do not collect IP addresses or device metadata

The only data visible through the Protocol is data publicly available on the blockchain.

Autopilot does not act as a data controller or data processor as defined under GDPR, CCPA, or similar data protection laws. The Protocol does not collect, store, or process any personal information.


3. On-Chain Transparency

All activity on Autopilot is executed and logged on-chain. This includes:

  • veAERO NFT deposits

  • Voting allocations

  • Reward claiming and USDC conversion

  • User withdrawals

All transactions and interactions with the Protocol are permanently recorded on the Base blockchain and are publicly accessible. Autopilot does not control or obscure any on-chain data. Users should assume all actions taken via smart contracts are visible to the public and may be analyzed by third parties.


4. Use of Analytics Tools

Autopilot may use privacy-focused analytics tools on its public-facing website (not within the Protocol) to understand general usage patterns. These tools:

  • Do not collect wallet addresses or blockchain activity

  • Are limited to frontend website traffic only

  • May use anonymized session data (e.g., browser type, visit duration, page views)

  • Are used only to improve site functionality and user experience

We practice data minimization and limit data collection to what is strictly necessary to operate the informational website.

You may disable cookies or use privacy tools to further limit passive data collection.


The Autopilot website or documentation may contain links to third-party sites. We are not responsible for the content, practices, or privacy policies of any third-party services.


6. Wallet Connection

Autopilot interacts with your wallet through standard Web3 connection protocols (e.g., MetaMask, WalletConnect). Wallet connection occurs client-side. Autopilot:

  • Does not access or store your private keys or seed phrases

  • Does not initiate transactions without user approval

Users are responsible for the security of their wallet credentials.


7. Smart Contract Interactions

All user actions occur directly on-chain. Autopilot does not have access to user funds or control over how the blockchain stores and transmits data. All interactions with smart contracts are voluntary and self-directed.


8. Children’s Privacy

The Protocol is not intended for individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from minors.


9. Changes and Continued Use

This Privacy Policy may be updated periodically. Users are responsible for reviewing this policy to stay informed of changes. Continued use of the Protocol or associated site constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
