In this policy, we explain how we will handle your personal information when you sign up and use our website blocktopus.io. Where we say 'we' and 'us' we mean Blocktopus. Where we say 'third party' this means anyone who is not you or us. This could be another person or organisation.

As transparency and privacy are core values, we regularly check and update this policy to reflect new features and functionality. We have a lot of new features and functionality planned, so to avoid having to issue a new privacy policy every month, there may be information about things that aren't in place yet, but they will be soon. Regularly reviewing this policy makes sure that you are always aware of what information we collect, how we use it and how we might share it.
