Privacy Policy

Last updated: April 2026 — Draft, pending final legal review.

Draft document. This Privacy Policy is a placeholder pending final legal review. It does not constitute a binding legal commitment at this time. For questions, contact hello@agon.markets.

1. Overview

AGON (“we,” “us,” or “our”) is a decentralized prediction market protocol. This Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, and handle information when you use the AGON interface at agon.markets.

Because AGON is built on a public blockchain, on-chain data (wallet addresses, trades, positions) is inherently public and immutable. This policy covers data we collect off-chain through the AGON interface and backend services.

2. Data We Collect

Wallet address. When you connect your wallet, we record your public address to associate your activity with your account. Your private key is never transmitted to our servers.

Usage data. We collect anonymized analytics including pages visited, features used, and interaction patterns to improve the product. We do not sell this data.

IP address & geo data. We use IP-based geolocation to enforce jurisdictional restrictions. This data is processed in real time and is not stored beyond the request lifecycle.

Agent API keys. API keys you create for programmatic agent access are stored securely (hashed). We log API key usage for abuse detection and rate limiting.

Affiliate referral cookies. If you arrive via a referral link containing a ?ref= parameter, we store a 7-day cookie to attribute volume to the referring affiliate.

3. How We Use Data

To operate and improve the AGON interface and protocol
To enforce jurisdictional restrictions in compliance with applicable law
To detect and prevent abuse, fraud, and technical attacks
To attribute affiliate commissions accurately to referring partners
To communicate platform updates via opt-in notification channels

We do not sell your data to third parties. We do not use your data for targeted advertising.

4. On-Chain Data

All trades, positions, and oracle votes are recorded on the Base blockchain and are publicly visible. This data is immutable and outside AGON’s control. By transacting on-chain, you acknowledge that your wallet address and transaction history are permanently and publicly recorded.

5. Third-Party Services

We use the following third-party services that may process your data:

Vercel — hosting and edge delivery (processes request metadata including IP)
Upstash Redis — rate limiting (stores request counts keyed by IP, with short TTLs)
RainbowKit / WalletConnect — wallet connection infrastructure

6. Data Retention

Off-chain user data is retained for as long as your account is active plus 12 months following account deletion. Rate-limit and geo data is retained for 2 minutes. Referral cookies expire after 7 days.

7. Your Rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to access, correct, or delete personal data we hold about you. Note that on-chain data cannot be deleted by anyone. To make a data request, contact us at hello@agon.markets.

8. Cookies

We use minimal cookies: one session cookie for wallet authentication (JWT), and one optional referral attribution cookie (agon_ref). We do not use tracking or advertising cookies.

9. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy as the product evolves. Material changes will be communicated via official AGON channels. Your continued use of the Service following an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
