What we know about you

Argus has no sign-up, no login, and no password. We do not ask for your name, your email address, or your phone number, and there is no user record with your activity hanging off it. We set no cookies of our own, run no analytics script, and embed no advertising pixel.

One thing: the acknowledgment from the notice you accept on your first visit, kept in your browser under a key beginning with ark:risk. Its value is the timestamp of the moment you pressed Continue, and it exists so the notice does not reappear on every page. It stays on your device and is never sent to us. Clearing your site data deletes it, and the notice comes back.

The ordinary residue of serving a web page. Our hosting provider logs requests, including the IP address they came from, the page asked for, the time, and the browser user agent. We use that to keep the site up, not to build a profile, and it is not joined to any wallet address.

Token logos are the one place this gets interesting. A logo URL is whatever the token deployer wrote on-chain, so a handful of image hosts are allowlisted and fetched and resized by our server, which means those hosts see us rather than you. Every other host is loaded directly by your browser instead, unoptimised, which means that host sees your IP address and we never touch the file. The alternative was our server fetching arbitrary URLs typed by strangers, which is worse.

Arc is a public ledger. Your address, your balances, every trade you make, and every token you launch are permanent public records, readable by anyone, forever. We do not publish them and we cannot unpublish them. Neither can you.

Anything you type into a launch, including the creator funds wallet, the social links, and the image URL, is written on-chain along with the token. Treat that field as a billboard, not a form.

An address is pseudonymous, not anonymous. Anyone who learns which address is yours can read everything it has ever done, on this site and on every other.

Most chain data on this site is read by our server, so the RPC endpoint behind it sees us rather than you. The trade panel on a token page is the exception: it reads chain state from your own browser, including balances and approvals tied to the address you connected, straight to the Arc RPC endpoint this site is configured with. That endpoint sees your IP address next to whatever it is being asked about.

Signing and broadcasting a transaction goes somewhere else again. It leaves through your wallet, over whatever provider your wallet uses, which is a separate product with its own policy and usually its own default RPC.

Following a link to the block explorer, or loading a logo from an off-list host, is a request to that service under its terms, not ours.

We do not sell, rent, or trade personal data, because we do not hold any worth selling. For the same reason there is very little to request or erase: the honest answer to “what do you have on me” is a server log line and nothing else. What is on the chain is beyond anyone’s reach, ours included.

If this changes, in particular if analytics or any error reporting is ever added, it gets written here first, and a material change re-prompts that notice. The terms cover the rest of what using the site means.
