We use certain third-party services to operate and improve the platform:

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to:

• Valid legal processes (subpoenas, court orders)
• Government requests (where legally required)
• To protect the rights, property, or safety of Altera, our users, or the public

In the event of a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, user information may be transferred as part of the transaction. We will provide notice before any such transfer occurs.

• Every transaction you make is recorded on a public ledger
• Your wallet address and all associated transactions can be viewed by anyone
• Block explorers (like Etherscan, Basescan) display all blockchain activity
• Transactions cannot be deleted or hidden once confirmed
• Your wallet address is pseudonymous, but may be linked to your identity through other means

While blockchain addresses are pseudonymous (not directly linked to your real identity), they are not anonymous. Your address can potentially be linked to your identity through:

• Centralized exchanges where you may have completed KYC
• On-chain analysis and clustering techniques
• Social media or public disclosure of your address
• IP address correlation (if using non-private connections)

If privacy is important to you, consider using privacy-enhancing tools and practices.
