SUMMARY

NIRO RESPECTS
YOUR PRIVACY.

This Privacy Policy explains how the NIRO Chrome Extension (“NIRO”, “the Extension”, “we”, “our”, or “us”) handles information when you use the Extension.

NIRO is a digital olfactory system for public market and onchain activity. The Extension allows users to intentionally inspect supported webpages, tokens, markets, or other public market context and generate a NIRO synthetic scent interpretation.

01

SINGLE PURPOSE

The single purpose of the NIRO Chrome Extension is to help users analyze market and onchain information from webpages they choose to inspect and convert relevant public signals into NIRO's synthetic scent representation.

NIRO does not use browser access for unrelated purposes.

02

This may include:

  • Publicly visible page content relevant to the requested analysis
  • Token symbols
  • Token names

12

DATA RETENTION

Operational and security logs may be retained for a limited period when reasonably necessary for reliability, security, fraud prevention, or legal compliance.

Local Extension preferences remain in the user's browser until they are removed by the user, cleared by Chrome, or removed when the Extension is uninstalled.

13

DATA SECURITY

NIRO uses reasonable technical and organizational safeguards designed to protect information processed by the Extension.

Where information is transmitted between the Extension and NIRO infrastructure, NIRO uses secure encrypted connections such as HTTPS.

No internet-based system can guarantee absolute security, but NIRO seeks to minimize both the collection and exposure of user information.

14

CHROME PERMISSIONS

NIRO requests only the Chrome permissions reasonably necessary to provide its disclosed functionality.

Permissions are not used for unrelated functionality.

The permissions requested by the Extension may change as NIRO develops. Any material change to how user information is accessed or used will be reflected in this Privacy Policy and, where required, disclosed to users.
