Privacy Policy

Last Updated: 30 September, 2025

1. Introduction and Foundational Principles

This exhaustive Privacy Policy document serves to articulate the unequivocal and uncompromising commitment to user privacy and data integrity that forms the bedrock of the SALVAnft platform ("we," "our," or "us"). In an digital era increasingly defined by extensive data harvesting and surveillance capitalism, our philosophy is architected upon a principle of radical data minimization and user-centric control. We have meticulously designed our ecosystem to function without necessitating the collection of sensitive personal information, thereby ensuring that your engagement with the blockchain and NFT space remains both powerful and private. This policy is intended to provide you with complete transparency regarding the extremely limited scope of data we interact with, the stringent purposes for which it is utilized, the formidable security protocols we have instituted to safeguard it, and the absolute rights you retain over your information. Your utilization of the SALVAnft marketplace constitutes your explicit acknowledgment that you have thoroughly read, comprehended, and consented to the data practices described herein in their entirety.

2. A Covenant of Minimal Data: What We categorically Do Not Collect

Our operational ethos is predicated on the belief that the safest data is the data never collected. We consciously and systematically refrain from gathering any personal information that is not critically indispensable for the core, technical functionality of our marketplace and for compliance with relevant legal frameworks. To eliminate any potential for ambiguity, we hereby explicitly state that we do not collect, store, or process the following categories of personal data: your legal name, your residential or physical address, your personal telephone number, any government-issued identification numbers including social security numbers, passport details, or driver's license numbers, your specific date of birth, your facial image or any other biometric identifiers, or your IP address for tracking purposes. Furthermore, we categorically do not engage in cross-site tracking, we do not employ cookies or pixels for building advertising profiles, and we absolutely and permanently forbid the sale, rental, or trading of any user data to third-party advertisers, data brokers, or marketing firms. Our platform is a sanctuary for digital interaction, free from the exploitation of personal information.

3. The Limited Data We Access and Its Precise, Legitimate Purpose

The information we interact with is constrained to that which is generated by your blockchain wallet and the data you voluntarily provide to enhance your user experience. This approach ensures that your identity remains pseudonymous, tied to your wallet address rather than your personal identity.

Blockchain Wallet Public Address (Exclusively via MetaMask): The SALVAnft platform is currently designed to interact solely with the MetaMask wallet software. When you connect your MetaMask wallet to our platform, we access your public Ethereum wallet address. This alphanumeric string is a pseudonymous identifier on the public blockchain and is not considered personally identifiable information in a traditional sense. We utilize this public address exclusively to facilitate your transactions on the platform; this includes the listing, bidding, purchasing, and selling of NFTs by enabling our smart contracts to interact with your wallet and to accurately display the NFTs you own within your personal profile. We must emphasize that under no circumstances do we have access to your private keys, seed phrases, or any other credentials that grant control over your wallet assets.

Immutable On-Chain Transaction Data: All transactions, including those involving NFTs, POL, and in the future, SALVAcoin (SALC), are executed directly and immutably on the Polygon blockchain. The details of these transactions—including transaction hashes, the public wallet addresses of the transacting parties, the NFT token IDs, and the amounts transferred—are inherent, public information stored on the distributed ledger. We access and display this data solely to provide you with a verified transaction history, to confirm ownership authenticity, and to maintain the overall integrity and transparency of the marketplace.

Voluntarily Provided Public Profile Information: You may elect to enhance your pseudonymous profile by adding a username, an avatar image, a biography, or links to your social media profiles. This information is provided by you voluntarily and is stored by us to personalize your experience on the platform and to foster a sense of community. You maintain full control to edit or delete this information at any time through your account settings.

Direct Communication Data: If you initiate contact with our support team via our dedicated email address, info@salvanft.com, we will inherently receive your email address and the content of our communication. We retain this information strictly for the purpose of providing you with effective customer support, addressing your inquiries comprehensively, and maintaining a historical record of our interaction to improve service quality.

4. Our Unwavering Data Usage and Third-Party Disclosure Policy

The minimal data outlined in the previous section is used for a narrowly defined and essential set of purposes that are fundamental to the operation of a secure and functional NFT marketplace. Your public wallet address is used as your primary user identifier to power all platform functionalities. On-chain data is read and displayed to provide you with a clear and accurate record of your activity. We operate under a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding the sharing of user data. We do not monetize, sell, rent, or trade any user information. The only conceivable circumstances under which we might be compelled to disclose information would be in response to a valid and legally binding subpoena, court order, or other governmental request, and even then, we would disclose only the minimum amount of information legally required after careful legal review.

5. An Architecture of Security: Protecting Your Digital Presence

SALVAnft employs a sophisticated, multi-layered security architecture designed to protect the integrity of our platform and the minimal data within it. Our security measures are engineered to meet industry best practices and include, but are not limited to, advanced firewall protection, continuous security monitoring for anomalous activity, and robust encryption protocols (including TLS for all data in transit) for any data we store. Access to our internal systems is restricted to a very small number of authorized personnel who require such access to maintain and support the platform, and all such individuals are bound by strict contractual confidentiality obligations. We treat the security of our infrastructure with the same utmost seriousness as the most secure financial institutions, ensuring that your foray into the world of NFTs is built upon a foundation of trust and impenetrability.

6. The Sovereignty of Your Data: Your Rights and Controls

As a user of SALVAnft, you are the sovereign ruler of your data. You possess the right to access, correct, or update the voluntary profile information you have provided at any moment through your intuitive profile settings. It is important to recognize that data inherent to the blockchain—your public wallet address and your on-chain transaction history—is immutable and cannot be altered or deleted due to the distributed and permanent nature of blockchain technology. Your control in this regard is exercised through your choice of wallet and your on-chain actions. You can disconnect your MetaMask wallet from our platform at any time, which will sever our active connection to your wallet address. For all other requests pertaining to your data, or if you wish to permanently delete your voluntary profile information from our databases, you may contact us directly at info@salvanft.com. We are committed to addressing all legitimate requests promptly and in accordance with applicable laws.

7. Policy Evolution and Notification of Changes

The technological and regulatory landscape governing blockchain and digital assets is in a constant state of evolution. As such, we reserve the right to amend or update this Privacy Policy periodically to reflect changes in our operational procedures, the services we offer, or to remain compliant with evolving legal obligations. We will communicate any material modifications to this policy by updating the "Last Updated" date at the commencement of this document. For changes that significantly affect your rights or data practices, we will endeavor to provide a more prominent notice, which may include a message displayed directly on our platform homepage or a direct communication to the email address you have used to contact us. Your continued use of the SALVAnft platform subsequent to the posting of any revised Privacy Policy will signify your acceptance of such changes and your agreement to be bound by the updated terms.

8. Invitation to Join Our Secure Vision

We extend our hand to you, not just as a user, but as a fellow pioneer in building a more secure, equitable, and authentic digital future. By choosing SALVAnft, you are opting for a platform that values your privacy as much as you do, a place where your financial creativity is not stifled by unnecessary data collection or surveillance.
