1. About this policy
dApps.tools is a Web3 directory and media service. This Privacy Policy explains what personal information dApps.tools handles, why it is handled, who may receive it, how long it is kept, and the choices and rights available to you.
This policy applies to the dApps.tools website, accounts, profiles, favourites, tool submissions and related administrative features. A third-party website or application has its own privacy practices after you leave dApps.tools.
2. Privacy contact
The person responsible for privacy can be contacted at:

3. Information handled by dApps.tools
Information you provide
Depending on the features you use, dApps.tools may handle:
- your email address and authentication information when you create or use an account;
- optional profile information, such as a display name, first name, avatar, website and biography;
- favourites and other account preferences;
- tool submissions, including descriptions, links, categories, pricing information, logos or images, and your author identifier;
- messages and the information you choose to include when you contact support.
Required fields are identified in the interface. If required account or submission information is not provided, the related feature may not be available.
Information collected automatically
When the site is requested, hosting and security systems may process technical information such as an IP address, date and time, requested route, response status, browser or device information, and security events. This information is used to deliver, protect and troubleshoot the service.
If you affirmatively enable Web Analytics, dApps.tools also sends a limited page-view record to Vercel. It may include a timestamp, a sanitized public URL path, referrer, approximate location, operating system, browser, device type and analytics script version. Query strings and URL fragments are removed, sensitive-looking slugs are blocked, private and account routes are excluded, and no custom analytics events are currently allowed. Vercel states that it creates a request-derived session hash and discards the session identifier after 24 hours. Analytics is off by default and the site remains usable if you decline.
Browser storage
dApps.tools uses browser storage for privacy choices, theme, display currency, interface state and tool-submission drafts. A draft may contain the information entered in a form and remain on that device until it is submitted, cleared in the interface or deleted through browser controls. More details appear in the Cookie Policy.
Public and blockchain information
Published tool pages and attribution chosen for publication are public. Some market and blockchain information comes from public third-party sources. A blockchain address or transaction can still be personal information when it can be linked to a person; dApps.tools does not ask ordinary visitors to connect a wallet or make a transaction.
4. Purposes
dApps.tools handles information only for identified purposes, including to:
- create, authenticate, secure and administer accounts;
- provide profiles, favourites and submission tools requested by users;
- review, publish, correct and maintain directory content;
- provide support and respond to privacy requests;
- operate, secure, prevent abuse of and troubleshoot the service;
- display public market and on-chain information;
- measure aggregate use of eligible public pages, only after analytics consent;
- comply with legal obligations and establish, exercise or defend legal rights.
dApps.tools does not use the verified features to sell personal information or deliver cross-site behavioural advertising.
5. Consent and choices
Where consent is required, it is requested for the specific purpose. Web Analytics is disabled until you select “Enable analytics.” You may decline without losing ordinary access and may later change your choice through “Privacy choices” in the footer. Global Privacy Control or Do Not Track signals cause analytics to remain disabled in the current implementation.
You may omit optional profile fields, remove favourites, clear a local draft, update available account information or request account deletion. Withdrawing consent does not affect processing already lawfully completed. It may prevent an optional feature from operating when that information is necessary for the feature.
6. Service providers and disclosures
dApps.tools limits disclosures to what is reasonably necessary for the service:
- Supabase provides authentication, database and file storage. The verified primary project region is Ohio, United States.
- Vercel provides hosting, delivery, security and, only after consent, Web Analytics. Vercel may use subprocessors and process information outside Canada.
- OpenAI may process public tool content or URLs when an administrator deliberately uses the smart-import feature. That feature is not used to analyze ordinary visitor browsing and should not receive unnecessary personal information.
- Market and infrastructure providers, including Jupiter, DexScreener, Frankfurter/European Central Bank data and Helius, provide public price, foreign exchange or blockchain information through server-side requests. No code was found that deliberately sends an ordinary visitor’s identity to those providers.
Information may also be disclosed when required by law, to address a security incident or abuse, or as part of a properly structured reorganization. dApps.tools does not authorize a provider to use personal information for an unrelated purpose merely because it receives information to perform a service.
7. Processing outside Canada
Personal information may be processed or stored outside Canada, including in the United States, where different laws may apply. Before communicating personal information outside Canada, dApps.tools must assess relevant privacy factors and contractually protect the information as required by applicable law.
8. Retention and deletion
Information is kept only as long as reasonably necessary for the identified purpose, legal requirements, security and the establishment or defence of rights, then securely destroyed or anonymized in accordance with applicable law.
In particular:
- account and private profile information is generally kept while the account is active and is deleted or dissociated following a valid deletion request, subject to limited legal, security and backup periods;
- favourites are kept until removed or the account is deleted;
- submission records are kept while needed for review and directory integrity; a public contribution may be retained without personal attribution when necessary to preserve the public directory;
- a local submission draft remains on the device until submitted, cleared or removed through browser controls;
- the local analytics choice expires after 12 months;
- Vercel states that its Analytics session identifier is discarded after 24 hours; aggregate reporting data is kept for the reporting window associated with the Vercel plan and may be retained longer by Vercel to support an upgrade;
- security, application and backup records are kept according to applicable provider settings and only as long as reasonably necessary for security, operations, legal requirements or the establishment or defence of rights, then deleted or overwritten when applicable.
9. Security
dApps.tools uses administrative and technical safeguards proportionate to the sensitivity, purpose, quantity, distribution and format of the information. These include access controls, database row-level security, encrypted transport, restrictive security headers, separation of public and private routes, and limited administrative privileges. No method of transmission or storage is perfectly secure, and this policy does not promise absolute security.
10. Your rights
Subject to applicable law, you may ask to:
- learn whether dApps.tools holds personal information about you and obtain access to it;
- correct incomplete or inaccurate information;
- obtain computerized personal information collected from you in a structured, commonly used technological format where the portability right applies;
- withdraw consent for future consent-based processing;
- request deletion of information that no longer needs to be retained;
- request that a hyperlink associated with your name be removed or reindexed where applicable legal conditions are met;
- submit a privacy complaint.
Send a written request to support@dapps.tools and identify the right you wish to exercise. dApps.tools will verify identity using only information reasonably necessary for that purpose and will normally respond in writing within 30 days of receiving a valid request. If a request is refused in whole or in part, the response will explain the reasons and available recourse when required by law. You may also contact the privacy authority that has jurisdiction over your request.
11. Children
dApps.tools is not directed to children under 14. Personal information from a child under 14 will not knowingly be collected on consent alone without the consent of the holder of parental authority or tutor, unless otherwise permitted by law. Please contact the Privacy Officer if you believe such information has been provided.
12. External and affiliate links
A listed or affiliate link may lead to an independent third party. dApps.tools may receive a commission without increasing the user’s price, but does not control that third party’s collection, cookies, wallet interactions or policies. Review the third party’s terms and privacy information before using it.
13. Changes
This policy may be updated when practices, providers or legal requirements change. The effective and last-updated dates will be revised. Material changes will be brought to users’ attention by a reasonable notice appropriate to their impact, and fresh consent will be requested where required.
14. Contact or complaint
