5. Blockchain and Public Data

Transactions processed via Grudge Bot (e.g., cross-chain transfers, NFT minting) are recorded on public blockchains. This data (e.g., wallet addresses, transaction details) is inherently public and not controlled by Grudge Studio. We are not responsible for how others use this public information.

6. Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (e.g., encryption, access controls) to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, loss, or alteration.

However, no system is completely secure. You acknowledge the risks of cryptocurrency transactions and online data storage, including potential blockchain vulnerabilities or Discord breaches beyond our control.

11. International Data Transfers

Your data may be processed in [insert jurisdiction, e.g., the United States], where Grudge Studio operates. We comply with applicable data protection laws for cross-border transfers, but blockchain data is inherently global and subject to network-specific rules.

12. Third-Party Links and Services

The Bot links to third-party services (e.g., Discord, blockchain networks, Grudge Platform at https://www.grudgeplatform.com/nexus). Their privacy practices are governed by their own policies, and we are not responsible for their actions.
