Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

This Privacy Policy explains how MiniBlocks ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you visit miniblocks.io. We are committed to transparency and to compliance with privacy regulations including the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), and comparable international standards.

MiniBlocks was a real-time block explorer and analytics service for MegaETH. The project is paused. The explorer, the live data feed and the dashboards have been switched off, so this site is now a single static page. This policy describes that page, and nothing more.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Cloudflare CDN and Security Services

Our website is served through Cloudflare, a content delivery network (CDN) and security service. When you visit the site, Cloudflare may process certain data in order to deliver and protect the request.

• What Cloudflare may processIP addresses, system configuration information, and traffic data
• How it is usedDDoS protection, security filtering, content delivery, abuse prevention
• How longCloudflare retains logs for a limited period, as described in their privacy policy
• Legal basis (GDPR)Legitimate interest in protecting the service and keeping it available
• Data locationCloudflare operates globally, with data centres worldwide

We do not use Cloudflare Analytics or any other Cloudflare tracking feature beyond basic CDN and security services. Learn more in the Cloudflare privacy policy.

2.2 Analytics Data

We use Simple Analytics, a privacy-first analytics service based in the Netherlands (EU). Simple Analytics is fully GDPR compliant, does not use cookies, and collects no personal information.

• What is collectedPage views, referrer, browser and device type, and general location at country level only
• How it is collectedThrough the Simple Analytics script, which honours your browser's Do Not Track setting
• Personal dataNone. No identifiable information is collected
• CookiesSimple Analytics sets none
• Data storageAll data remains within the EU
• Legal basis (GDPR)Legitimate interest in understanding aggregate website usage

Learn more in the Simple Analytics privacy policy.

2.3 Data We Do NOT Collect

We want to be clear about what we do not do:

• We do not use cookies.
• We do not use localStorage, sessionStorage, or fingerprinting techniques.
• We do not collect personal information such as names, emails or phone numbers.
• We do not require user accounts or authentication.
• We do not connect wallets or read wallet addresses. The explorer that once read on-chain data is switched off.
• We do not track individual users across sessions, or build user profiles.
• We do not sell, rent or share any data with advertisers or other third parties.
• Our own web server keeps no visitor access log.

3. How We Use Information

The minimal data described above is used only to:

• Understand usage: aggregate, anonymous visit counts, so we know whether the page is still worth keeping online.
• Keep the site available: delivery and protection of the page itself.

We do not use it for marketing, advertising, profiling, or any other purpose.

4. Data Sharing and Third Parties

We use exactly two third-party services.

4.1 Cloudflare

Cloudflare provides the CDN, TLS and DDoS protection, and may process IP addresses and technical information as described in section 2.1. We do not use its analytics or tracking features.

4.2 Simple Analytics

Simple Analytics, based in the Netherlands (EU):

• collects no personal or identifiable data;
• uses no cookies and no local storage;
• is fully GDPR compliant;
• does not sell or share data with third parties;
• stores all data within the EU;
• provides only aggregated, non-personal statistics.

We share data with no one else. We use no advertising networks, no social media tracking, and no other third-party service that collects personal information. The links on the home page to weatherjourney.com, uvi.today, airindex.today and pollen.today are ordinary links: nothing is sent to those sites unless you click through, and each has its own privacy policy.

5. Data Security

The site is static, so there is very little to attack and nothing personal to lose. We still apply the usual measures:

• the page is served over HTTPS only, with HSTS;
• Content Security Policy headers restrict what the page may load;
• no database and no user data exist on our side;
• the server and its container images are kept up to date.

6. Your Rights

Under the GDPR and comparable regulations you have the rights listed below. Because we store no personal data, most of them have nothing to act on:

• Right of access: you may ask what data we hold about you. We hold none.
• Right to rectification: not applicable, as we store no personal profiles.
• Right to erasure: not applicable, as no persistent personal data exists.
• Right to data portability: not applicable, for the same reason.
• Right to object: enabling Do Not Track in your browser stops the analytics script from recording the visit.
• Right to withdraw consent: not applicable, as we rely on legitimate interest rather than consent.

7. International Data Transfers

• Simple Analytics: based in the EU (Netherlands) and processes all data within the EU. No data is transferred outside the European Economic Area.
• Cloudflare: operates globally, so your request may be handled by a data centre outside the EU. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and uses Standard Contractual Clauses for international transfers.
• Our server: hosted in the EU, and stores nothing about your visit.

8. Children's Privacy

This site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this policy to reflect changes in our practices or in legal requirements. The "last updated" date at the top will change accordingly. Given that the project is paused, changes are unlikely.

10. Contact Us

Questions, concerns or requests about this policy or our data practices: hello [at] miniblocks [dot] io

11. Legal Basis for Processing (GDPR)

For visitors in the EU, our legal basis is legitimate interest (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): we have a legitimate interest in keeping the site available and in understanding aggregate usage patterns. This minimal processing does not override your rights and freedoms.

12. California Privacy Rights (CCPA)

For California residents, you have the right to:

• know what personal information we collect, which is none;
• request deletion of personal information, of which we hold none;
• opt out of the sale of personal information, which we do not do.

We do not discriminate against anyone who exercises their privacy rights.
