			<h1>Privacy Notice</h1>
			<p class="legal-page__meta">Last updated · July 24, 2026</p>

			<h2>1. About this notice</h2>
			<p><a href="https://digibyte.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">digibyte.org</a> (the "Website") is a static, MIT-licensed informational website for the DigiByte open-source protocol. It is maintained by volunteer contributors in the public <a href="https://github.com/DigiByte-Core" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DigiByte-Core</a> GitHub organization. The Website is not operated by any company, foundation, or other legal entity, and no single party owns or controls it.</p>

			<h2>2. What the Website collects</h2>
			<p>The Website does not host user accounts, sign-in flows, comment systems, newsletter subscriptions, or payment flows. The only feature that accepts personal information is the optional <a href="/#collaborate">collaborations &amp; integrations form</a> on the homepage. Submitting that form transmits the name, email, organization, interest category, and message you enter to a third-party form processor (Web3Forms, see section 4) which forwards it by email to a volunteer community member. If you do not submit the form, the Website itself does not collect, store, or transmit personally identifiable information about you.</p>

			<h2>3. Cookies and local storage</h2>
			<p>The Website does not set tracking cookies. A limited amount of data (such as your preferred language selection and Progressive Web App / offline cache) may be stored locally in your browser using standard browser storage APIs and a service worker. This data stays on your device and is not transmitted back to the Website.</p>

			<h2>4. Third-party services the Website talks to</h2>
			<p>To render live chain telemetry and related public information, your browser may make requests from your device to third-party APIs, including but not limited to:</p>
			<ul>
				<li>DigiExplorer / Esplora — block height, hashrate, and related on-chain data.</li>
				<li>GitHub — release metadata for the DigiByte Core downloads section.</li>
				<li>Web3Forms (api.web3forms.com) — receives the collaborations &amp; integrations form submission and forwards it by email to a community maintainer. Only invoked when you actively submit that form. See the <a href="https://web3forms.com/privacy-policy" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Web3Forms privacy policy</a>.</li>
			</ul>
			<p>These requests are governed by the privacy policies of the respective services. The Website does not proxy, log, or aggregate the responses.</p>

			<h2>5. Hosting and server logs</h2>
			<p>The Website is a static site served by a third-party hosting provider. That provider may automatically log standard request metadata (such as IP address, user-agent, and requested URL) for the operational and security purposes described in its own privacy policy. The Website's contributors do not access, aggregate, or analyze these logs.</p>

			<h2>6. Links to other sites</h2>
			<p>The Website links to external resources (for example, GitHub, the DigiByte Wiki, block explorers, and independent documentation). Once you follow an outbound link you leave the Website, and the destination is governed by its own privacy practices. The Website's contributors have no control over and assume no responsibility for those third-party sites.</p>

			<h2>7. Children's privacy</h2>
			<p>The Website is not directed at children. Because the Website does not collect personal information, it does not knowingly collect information from children.</p>

			<h2>8. Changes to this notice</h2>
			<p>This notice may be updated from time to time. Changes are published to the same public repository as the rest of the Website's source. You are advised to review this page periodically for any changes.</p>

			<h2>9. Questions</h2>
			<p>Questions about this notice should be raised as an issue or a discussion in the public <a href="https://github.com/DigiByte-Core" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DigiByte-Core</a> GitHub organization. There is no dedicated staff, mailbox, or support address for this Website.</p>
