1. Overview

Chancy is a privacy-first decentralized lottery protocol. We are committed to protecting your privacy and operate with minimal data collection principles.

  • Winner wallet addresses
  • Prize distributions

Note: This information is pseudonymous and publicly visible on the blockchain.

4. World ID Privacy

World ID provides privacy-preserving proof of personhood:

7. Data Sharing

We do NOT share, sell, rent, or trade any user information because we don't collect it.

The only data sharing that occurs:

8. Data Security

  • Right to Portability: Blockchain data is already portable
  • Right to Correction: Blockchain data is immutable

10. Children's Privacy

Chancy is not intended for anyone under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children. Age verification is enforced through our Terms of Service.

11. International Users

Chancy operates on World Chain, a global blockchain. Your interactions are governed by the blockchain's decentralized nature, not any specific country's data localization requirements.

12. Changes to Privacy Policy

We may update this policy. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date. Continued use constitutes acceptance of changes.
