Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 3, 2026

This Privacy Policy explains what personal data BitKong handles in connection with bitkong.com — a small marketing site with a one-shot waitlist form. BitKong's data-handling duties under this notice extend only to that site.

References to "BitKong", "we", "us", or "our" refer to the project and brand at bitkong.com. References to "you" or "your" mean the individual visiting the site. BitKong does not currently operate any product or service; see our Terms of Service for what bitkong.com is and is not.

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy covers only the limited data BitKong handles in connection with:

• The bitkong.com website and its informational pages.
• The waitlist form on bitkong.com.
• Inbound email correspondence to hello@bitkong.com and related addresses.

BitKong is a data controller only for this limited set of bitkong.com data.

If BitKong launches a product in the future, that product will have its own privacy policy. This notice does not cover that product.

2. What BitKong handles

BitKong tries to handle as little personal data as possible. The categories below are the complete list BitKong intends to process on bitkong.com.

2.1 Waitlist data

If you submit the waitlist form, BitKong stores:

• Your email address (normalized to lowercase; stored keyed by a SHA-256 hash so the same address cannot be registered twice).
• The timestamp of submission.
• The User-Agent, Referer, and originating IP of the request, and any coarse country / region / city headers the edge provider attaches (for abuse prevention and audit).

BitKong intends to use this data to:

• Send one notification when BitKong is ready to share more, or reply to a direct question from you.
• Maintain waitlist integrity (for example, preventing duplicate signups).

BitKong does not intentionally sell, rent, or disclose waitlist data to advertisers or unrelated third parties, except as needed to host, secure, or transmit the data (see Sub-processors below), to comply with valid legal process, to protect rights and safety, or where non-excludable law otherwise requires.

2.2 Email correspondence

When you email BitKong (for example at hello@bitkong.com), BitKong receives the email content, your email address, and routing metadata that the mail transport provides. BitKong handles this for ordinary business, administrative, security, and legal purposes, including replying and keeping a record of the conversation.

2.3 Server logs

BitKong's hosting and edge providers log request metadata — IP address, request path, response code, user agent, timestamp — for standard security, abuse-prevention, and operational purposes. These logs are subject to the providers' retention settings and BitKong's security needs, and are not used to build user profiles.

2.4 Cookies and similar storage

As of the Last updated date above, bitkong.com uses only essential storage required to render the site and remember session-scoped preferences (such as theme). BitKong does not intend to add advertising cookies, cross-site tracking cookies, or third-party behavioral analytics. If that posture changes, this section will be updated.

2.5 What BitKong does not collect on bitkong.com

To be explicit: on bitkong.com BitKong does not collect your real name, physical address, government-issued ID, date of birth, wallet address, payment information, financial account data, biometric data, or precise geolocation.

3. Why BitKong handles this data

Depending on your jurisdiction, the legal bases BitKong relies on for handling bitkong.com data are:

• Consent — when you voluntarily submit your email to the waitlist or send BitKong a message.
• Legitimate interest — running and securing the site, preventing abuse, and maintaining a waitlist that a user voluntarily joined.
• Legal obligation — where BitKong must retain specific data to comply with law.

Where consent is the basis, you can withdraw it by emailing hello@bitkong.com. Requests will be honored in relation to data BitKong actually holds on bitkong.com, subject to technical feasibility, backup rotation, and any legal-retention requirement.

4. How long data is kept

• Waitlist email and submission metadata: retained until the launch notification has been sent and for a reasonable audit period afterwards, then deleted. Earlier deletion is available on request, subject to technical feasibility, backups, and any legal-retention requirement.
• Email correspondence: retained for as long as reasonably necessary to handle the conversation, plus a modest archival period for business, administrative, security, and legal purposes.
• Server logs: subject to the hosting provider's default retention, then rotated out.

5. Where data is stored

Data collected from bitkong.com is stored with infrastructure providers BitKong uses to host the site and its supporting services. Those providers may process data in the United States, the European Union, and other jurisdictions, depending on where their infrastructure is located. Where any applicable law requires cross-border transfer safeguards, transfers are addressed under the applicable provider terms and the legal mechanisms available at the time.

6. Sub-processors

To run bitkong.com BitKong uses a small number of independent service providers, including, by category:

• Hosting and deployment (e.g., Vercel) for serving the site.
• Object storage (e.g., Vercel Blob) for the waitlist store.
• Domain and DNS providers.
• Email delivery and inbox providers for hello@bitkong.com correspondence.

These providers process bitkong.com data under their own commercial terms, privacy notices, and applicable legal obligations.

7. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have some or all of the following rights over the limited personal data BitKong holds about you in connection with bitkong.com:

• Access — ask what BitKong holds.
• Rectification — ask BitKong to correct inaccurate data.
• Erasure — ask BitKong to delete your data, subject to narrow exceptions.
• Restriction — ask BitKong to pause processing while a question is resolved.
• Objection — object to processing that relies on legitimate interest.
• Portability — receive a copy of data you provided, in a structured format.
• Withdraw consent at any time for anything you consented to.

To make a request, email hello@bitkong.com from the address the data is associated with. BitKong will review and respond within a reasonable period, and in any event within any period required by applicable law.

You also have the right to complain to your local data-protection regulator if you believe BitKong has mishandled bitkong.com data.

8. Children

bitkong.com is not directed at children. BitKong does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under the age of majority in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has submitted personal data, email hello@bitkong.com and BitKong will review and take appropriate action, including deletion where appropriate.

9. Security

BitKong seeks to use commercially reasonable technical and organisational safeguards for bitkong.com data, including encryption in transit (TLS), restricted storage access, deterministic blob naming so the raw email is not stored as the file name, and minimisation — BitKong simply does not collect most categories of data in the first place.

No system is perfectly secure, and this section is not a warranty of any particular level of security. If BitKong becomes aware of a personal-data breach affecting bitkong.com data and notification to you is required by applicable law, BitKong will do so as required.

10. Updates to this notice

BitKong may update this Policy at any time by posting a revised version at this URL and updating the Last updated date. Please review this page periodically.
