Privacy Policy

Last updated: May 10, 2026

This page explains what MakeAMarket collects, how we use it, and what stays on-chain (and is therefore public forever). By using makeamarket.io, you accept the practices below.

1. What we collect

From every visitor

• Server logs. Standard logs (IP, user agent, request URL, timestamp). Used for operations, debugging, and abuse prevention. Retained up to 30 days.
• Local storage. UI prefs, draft markets, watchlist. Stays on your device.

From signed-up users

• Wallet address. Your Solana or EVM wallet is your account. Public on-chain by design.
• Email (optional). Stored only if you provide one for receipts, resolution alerts, or support. Used solely for transactional emails.
• Handle, display name, bio (optional). Public — shown on your creator profile and on any markets you create.

From market creators

• Market metadata. Title, description, category, resolution rules, end timestamp. Public — published on the market page and broadcast on Solana.
• Seed deposit. Your initial USDC liquidity is recorded on-chain.
• Creator wallet. Public on-chain.

2. What lives on-chain (public, permanent, outside our control)

• Market creations and metadata.
• Every share buy and sell on the AMM curve.
• Resolution outcomes, redemptions, and fee withdrawals.
• Wallet addresses, transaction signatures, amounts, and timestamps.

Once data is on Solana we cannot remove or alter it.

3. How we use information

• Operate the marketplace — display markets, route trades, calculate prices and resolutions.
• Send transactional email (receipts, resolution alerts, dispute updates) via Resend, only if you opted in.
• Detect fraud, abuse, and manipulation on the platform.
• Improve performance and reliability.

4. What we don't do

• We do not sell personal data.
• We do not run third-party advertising trackers.
• We do not access your private keys. MakeAMarket never asks for your seed phrase. Anyone who does is phishing.

5. Service providers we rely on

• Hosting — GoDaddy cPanel.
• Solana RPC — public RPC providers and our own nodes.
• Email — Resend (transactional only).

6. Cookies and storage

We use first-party localStorage and HMAC session cookies for sign-in and wallet pairing. We don't use third-party advertising cookies.

7. Your choices

• Disconnect your wallet at any time.
• Email info@makeamarket.io to request a copy or deletion of any off-chain account data tied to you. On-chain history cannot be deleted.

8. Children

MakeAMarket is not directed to anyone under 18.

9. Changes

If we change this policy materially we'll update the "Last updated" date and post a notice on the homepage.
