How We Share Your Information
We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information as follows:
- With Service Providers: We share data with trusted third-party providers (e.g., blockchain analytics, cloud hosting, or customer support tools) to operate the Services, subject to strict confidentiality agreements.
- With Creators and Brands: Campaign-related information (e.g., brand details, campaign briefs) may be shared with creators to facilitate content creation. Creator profile data may be shared with brands for campaign selection.
- On the Blockchain: Wallet addresses and transaction details (e.g., funding your Paralax wallet or creator payouts) are recorded on public blockchains, which are not controlled by Paralax.ai and are visible to anyone.

Data Security
We implement robust security measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction. These measures include encryption, access controls, and regular security reviews. However, due to the nature of web3 technologies:
- Wallet Security: You are responsible for securing your cryptocurrency wallet and private keys. Paralax.ai is not liable for losses due to compromised wallets or unauthorized access.
- Blockchain Risks: Data recorded on public blockchains (e.g., wallet addresses, transaction details) is inherently public and cannot be deleted or modified by Paralax.ai.
We encourage you to use strong security practices, such as enabling two-factor authentication on your wallet and keeping your private keys confidential.
Third-Party Links and Services
The Services may integrate with or link to third-party platforms, such as cryptocurrency wallets, blockchain networks, or social media sites. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of these third parties. We recommend reviewing their privacy policies before sharing information.
Cookies and Tracking Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies (e.g., web beacons, pixel tags) to:
- Authenticate users and maintain session security.
- Track platform usage, such as campaign interactions and impressions.
- Analyze trends and improve user experience.
You can manage or disable cookies through your browser settings, but this may affect your ability to use certain features of the Services. For blockchain-based interactions, we may use analytics tools to track public wallet activity (e.g., transaction volume) without collecting additional personal information.
