Privacy Policy

Welcome to Ride the Bus (referred to as "we", "our", or "us"). Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your personal information when you interact with our website, game, and related services (collectively, the "Service").

By using our Service, you agree to the terms of this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please discontinue use of the Service.

If you have a disability, you may access this Privacy Policy in an alternative format by contacting @ride_the_bus.

We may collect the following types of information:

Information You Provide to Us

• Wallet Address: When you connect your wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet) to interact with the Service.
• Contact Information: If you provide us with your email or other details for newsletters, support, or promotions.
• Support Requests: Information you provide when you request help from our support team.

Information We Collect Automatically

• Usage Data: Interactions with our Service, such as page views, time spent, and clicks.
• Device Information: Browser type, device type, and operating system.
• Log Data: IP addresses and other network identifiers.

Blockchain Data

Since NFT and gaming interactions occur on public blockchains, any transactions made through smart contracts are publicly available and cannot be deleted. This may include your wallet address, transaction details, and metadata related to the NFT or in-game assets.

We use the information collected for the following purposes:

• To Operate the Service: Enable you to play the game, manage NFTs, process transactions, and track game progress.
• To Improve Our Service: Monitor usage, identify bugs, and enhance user experience.
• To Communicate With You: Send updates, game news, promotional offers, or support responses.
• To Ensure Security: Detect fraud, prevent abuse, and secure our platform.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

We may share your information only in the following circumstances:

• Service Providers: Third-party services that help us operate the game (e.g., analytics, payment processing).
• Legal Requirements: If required to comply with a legal obligation, subpoena, or government request.
• Business Transfers: If we merge, sell, or transfer assets as part of a business change.

We take reasonable security measures to protect your information from unauthorized access, theft, and misuse. However, since blockchain data is public and immutable, certain information (like wallet addresses and NFT transactions) cannot be removed or altered.

We also encourage you to protect your wallet credentials, as we do not have access to your private keys.

We may use cookies or similar tracking technologies to improve the Service. Cookies help us understand user preferences, track site usage, and enhance your experience.

Our Service is not intended for children under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If we discover that we have collected information from a child, we will delete it.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with the "Last Updated" date at the top. Your continued use of the Service after any changes signifies your acceptance of the updated policy.

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy or how we handle your information, please contact us at @ride_the_bus.

This Privacy Policy is designed to provide transparency and ensure your confidence in our commitment to protecting your privacy. Thank you for being part of Ride the Bus!
