This Privacy Policy describes how we gather, use, process, and share your personal information to help you understand and exercise your privacy rights.

By using the Oases website and other software provided on or in connection with our services, as described in the Oases Terms of Service (collectively, the "Service"), you agree to the following privacy policy.

1. What Personal Information About Users Does Oases Collect?

"Personal Data" means data that lets someone identify you individually, which may involve your name, email address, and any other personal information associated with or linked to any of the preceding. "Anonymous Data" includes both aggregated and de-identified data. It is not associated with or linked to your Personal Data and does not, by itself, permit the identification of individual persons. Details of how we gather your personal information are described as follows:

1.1 Data You Provide Us

(a) Personal Information: We may collect your personal information, such as email addresses, names, usernames, and other information you provide when you use our services, update your account information or contact us. We will also collect your blockchain addresses, which may be related to Personal Data when you use our services.

1.2 Data Collected by System

When you browse and interact with our Service, we may use automated data collection techniques to collect certain information about your device, cookies, etc., as described below.

(a) Data Collected by Servers: We (or a third-party service provider) will collect your browser and wallet data, the address of your Internet Protocol ("IP"), your time/date stamp, and your operating system in order to provide you with a more useful Service.

Such information is used to analyze trends, manage the Service, track users' movements around the Service, and better tailor our Service to the users' needs. For instance, when you access the Service, the system may collect certain information about you in order to identify you and use this information to personalize your experience.

(e) How We Deal with Non-tracking Signals: Our systems currently do not recognize signals or mechanisms, such as "Do Not Track," that may allow users to opt out of tracking on our website.

(f) Analytics Services: Besides the tracking technologies, such as Cookies and Pixel Tags, other companies may place their own cookies or similar technologies when you access our Service, including third-party analytics services ("Analytics Services") that we engage in analyzing the user activity on our website. The information generated by Cookies or other tools about your use of our Service (the "Analytics Information") is transmitted to the Analytics Services. The Analytics Services use Analytics Information to compile reports on user activity, which we may receive on an individual or aggregate basis.
