Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025 · Effective as of the date above

This Privacy Policy describes how Lime ENS ("we", "us", "our") collects, uses, stores, and shares information in connection with the lime.dev ENS subname service. By using our website and services, you agree to this policy. We may update this policy at any time; your continued use constitutes acceptance of the current version.

1. Scope and Agreement

This policy applies to all users of lime.dev and our ENS subname services. Use of our services constitutes your acceptance of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use our services. This policy is subject to change at our sole discretion at any time without prior notice; the "Last updated" date above indicates the current version. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

2. Information We Collect

We may collect information necessary to provide, operate, improve, and secure our services, including but not limited to:

  • Wallet addresses and other public blockchain data you provide or that is associated with your use of the service
  • ENS name records, subnames, and any data you choose to set or link (including offchain records)
  • Signatures, signed messages, and other authentication or transaction-related data
  • Technical and usage data: IP address, device and browser information, referring URLs, access times, and similar automatically collected data
  • Logs, analytics data, and other information generated by your use of our website and services
  • Communications with us (e.g. support or contact form submissions)

We may collect additional categories of information as needed for the operation, improvement, or security of our services, or as required by law. We are not obligated to limit collection to the minimum strictly necessary for a single feature.

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, maintain, and operate the ENS subname service
  • Process name claims, record updates, and authentication
  • Improve, develop, and personalize our services and user experience
  • Analyze usage, perform analytics, and conduct research
  • Detect, prevent, and address fraud, abuse, security issues, and legal compliance
  • Communicate with you about the service, updates, or marketing where permitted by law
  • Enforce our terms and policies and protect our rights and the rights of others
  • Comply with applicable laws, regulations, and legal process

We may use information for other purposes consistent with this policy or as disclosed at the time of collection. We retain broad discretion in how we use data to operate and improve our services.

4. Data Storage and Retention

Offchain names and records are stored on our systems and secured with cryptographic signatures. Onchain names and related data may be stored on the Ethereum blockchain and other supported networks. We may use third-party infrastructure and service providers to host and process data.

We retain information for as long as we deem necessary to provide our services, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. We are not obligated to delete or anonymize data upon a specific request unless required by applicable law. Retention periods may vary and can be extended where we have a legitimate interest or legal requirement.

5. Sharing and Disclosure

We may share or disclose information:

  • With service providers, infrastructure providers, and partners who assist in operating our services (subject to contractual obligations where we require it)
  • With affiliates and in connection with a merger, sale, restructuring, or other transfer of assets
  • When required by law, court order, or government request, or to protect our rights, safety, or property
  • With your consent or at your direction
  • In aggregated or de-identified form for analytics, research, or other purposes

We do not sell personal information in the traditional sense; however, we retain the right to share data as described above. We are not responsible for the privacy practices of third-party services or blockchains.

6. Your Rights and Choices

Where required by applicable law (e.g. GDPR, CCPA), you may have rights such as access, correction, deletion, portability, or objection. You can release your ENS subname at any time through your account; offchain data associated with released names may be deleted in accordance with our retention practices, but we do not guarantee immediate or complete deletion in all cases.

Exercise of rights may be subject to verification and applicable legal limitations. We may refuse requests that are manifestly unfounded, excessive, or not required by law. To assert rights under applicable law, contact us at the address below. Your use of our services from certain jurisdictions may be subject to additional terms or restrictions.

7. Cookies and Similar Technologies

We may use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies to operate the service, remember preferences, analyze usage, and improve security. You may adjust browser settings to limit cookies; some features may not function fully without them. By using our site, you consent to our use of these technologies as described in this policy.

8. Security

We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No system is completely secure; we do not guarantee absolute security and are not liable for unauthorized access, breach, or loss of data except where required by applicable law.

9. International Transfers

Data may be processed and stored in jurisdictions outside your residence. By using our services, you consent to the transfer of your information to such jurisdictions, which may have different data protection laws. Where required by law, we will implement appropriate safeguards.

10. Children

Our services are not directed to individuals under the age of 21 (or higher where required). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe we have collected such information, please contact us so we can take appropriate steps.

11. Changes to This Policy

We may modify this Privacy Policy at any time at our sole discretion. We may notify you of material changes by posting the updated policy on this page and updating the "Last updated" date; we are not obligated to provide advance notice or email notification.
