Effective Date

Scope and Entity Responsible

This Privacy Policy describes how Buy Fake Money ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards personal information when you access or use buyfakemoney.net, our related services, simulators, and tools (collectively, the "Services") in the United States of America.

Controller/Owner: alma viva, 4801 Main St, Kansas City, MO 64112, USA. Contact: [email protected].

Notice at Collection

We collect the following categories of personal information from or about you for the purposes stated below and retain such information only for as long as reasonably necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, to comply with legal obligations, to resolve disputes, and to enforce our agreements.

• Identifiers: name, username/handle, email address, account IDs, wallet addresses (when you choose to connect), and IP address.
• Internet or Network Activity: device and browser information, pages viewed, time stamps, referring URLs, clickstream data, and interactions with our Services.
• Geolocation Data: imprecise location derived from IP address (we do not collect precise geolocation).
• Professional or Educational Information: if voluntarily provided in profiles or feedback.
• Inferences: preferences or interests derived from your activity on the Services (e.g., assets you track or simulate).

Purposes of collection include: providing and securing the Services; enabling account creation and authentication; running trading simulators, demo portfolios, and testnet/token tools; analytics and Service improvement; customer support; fraud and misuse prevention; compliance with law; and, where permitted, contextual or cross-context behavioral advertising. We do not collect sensitive personal information as defined by certain U.S. state laws, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring additional notice.

We do not sell personal information for monetary consideration. We may "share" limited personal information (such as identifiers and internet activity) with analytics and advertising partners for cross-context behavioral advertising as that term is defined under California law. You may opt out of such sharing as described in the "U.S. State Privacy Rights" and "Your Choices" sections.

Information You Provide

• Account and Profile Data: name or display name, email, password or authentication credentials, preferences, and settings.
• Content You Submit: portfolio names, watchlists, simulated trades, notes, feedback, or survey responses.
• Communications: emails and messages you send to us.
• Wallet and Testnet Details: if you connect a compatible wallet for testnet guidance or simulations, we may process wallet addresses you supply. We do not request your private keys.

Information Collected Automatically

We and our service providers automatically collect certain information when you use the Services:

• Usage Data: activity logs, feature use, timestamps.
• Device/Technical Data: IP address, device identifiers, browser type and version, operating system, language, and error diagnostics.
• Cookies and Similar Technologies: cookies, web beacons, and local storage to remember settings, maintain sessions, analyze usage, and measure performance.

Information from Third Parties

• Service Providers and Vendors: analytics, hosting, security, customer support, email delivery.
• Single Sign-On or Wallet Providers: if you choose to use them, we receive identifiers necessary to enable the connection.
• Public Sources and Blockchain Networks: publicly available data, including on-chain transaction metadata you make public.

How We Use Personal Information

• Provide, operate, and improve the Services, including simulators, demo portfolios, and educational tools.
• Authenticate users, maintain security, prevent fraud and abuse, and enforce our terms.
• Personalize content and experiences, including remembering preferences and watchlists.
• Measure performance and conduct analytics, research, testing, and troubleshooting.
• Communicate with you about the Services, updates, security notices, and administrative messages.
• Comply with applicable law, legal process, and governmental requests.
• Advertising and marketing where permitted by law, including cross-context behavioral advertising as described in this Policy and subject to your choices.

Cookies and Tracking Technologies

We use first- and third-party cookies and similar technologies to enable core functionality (e.g., session management), remember settings, perform analytics, and, where permitted, support advertising. You can manage cookies in your browser settings and, where available, within our in-product settings. Disabling cookies may impair certain features.

Analytics, Advertising, and Do Not Track

We use analytics tools to understand usage and improve the Services. We may work with advertising partners to deliver or measure ads. Where required by law, we obtain consent or provide opt-out mechanisms. We do not respond to browser "Do Not Track" signals. We endeavor to recognize and honor applicable Global Privacy Control signals for opt-outs of certain sharing as required by law.

User Accounts, Portfolios, and Virtual Funds

Portfolios, watchlists, and simulated trades use virtual funds for educational and testing purposes only. No real-money transactions occur within the Services. Content you create may be visible to you and, if you choose, to others according to your settings. You are responsible for safeguarding your account credentials.

Testnet Tokens and Blockchain Interactions

If you connect a compatible wallet or interact with testnets, you understand that blockchain networks are public and immutable by design. Wallet addresses and transaction metadata may be publicly accessible and cannot be removed by us once recorded on-chain. Do not disclose private keys or seed phrases. We do not request or store your private keys.

Disclosure of Personal Information

• Service Providers: hosting, infrastructure, analytics, security, customer support, email delivery, and product tools under contractual confidentiality and use restrictions.
• Legal and Safety: to comply with law, legal processes, or government requests; to protect rights, property, security, users, or the public.
• Business Transfers: in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, subject to continued protection of personal information as required by law.
• With Your Direction: when you ask us to share or make information public.

Retention

We retain personal information only for as long as necessary to provide the Services, fulfill the purposes described in this Policy, comply with legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce agreements. Retention periods vary by category and context. We regularly review our retention practices and securely delete or de-identify data when no longer needed.

Security

We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. Please use strong passwords and protect your account credentials.
