Privacy Policy

Effective Date: 5 July 2026

1. Introduction

At kgnodes, we respect your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you visit our website or use our validator services, and how we handle it.

2. Information We Collect

  • Technical Data — such as IP address, browser type, and device information, collected automatically for security and service-improvement purposes.
  • On-Chain Data — blockchain addresses and transaction records related to staking or delegation with our validator nodes. This data is publicly available on the relevant blockchain and is not something we collect privately.
  • Contact Information — if you reach out to us directly (e.g. via email or Telegram), we retain that communication to respond to your inquiry.

We do not collect or require any personally identifiable information (such as name, address, or ID documents) to use our validator services.

3. How We Use Information

Any information we collect is used to:

  • Operate, maintain, and improve our website and services
  • Monitor network and service performance
  • Respond to inquiries and support requests
  • Detect and prevent abuse or malicious activity

We do not sell your data to third parties.

4. Cookies and Analytics

Our website may use basic cookies or analytics tools to understand general usage patterns (e.g. page visits). You can disable cookies through your browser settings at any time; this will not affect your ability to use core parts of the website.

5. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to third-party websites (e.g. block explorers, partner projects). We are not responsible for the privacy practices of these external sites, and we encourage you to review their respective policies.

6. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect the technical data we collect. However, no method of electronic storage or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute protection.

7. Your Choices

Since kgnodes does not require personal identification to use its services, there is generally no personal data to request, modify, or delete on our end. If you have contacted us directly and wish for that communication to be removed, you may request this at any time.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our services or practices. Updates will be posted on this page along with a revised "Effective Date."

9. Governing Law

This Privacy Policy is governed by the laws of the Republic of Turkey.
