Privacy Policy

Effective date: April 6, 2026

This Privacy Policy describes how Ferros ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, and shares information when you visit or interact with the Ferros website at ferros.xyz (the "Site"). This policy applies to the Site only — not to the Ferros network, protocol, or any on-chain activity.

1. Information we collect

1.1 Information you provide

We collect information you voluntarily provide when you interact with the Site:

Interaction	Data collected	Purpose
Newsletter signup	Email address	Send project updates and announcements
Contact form	Name, email address, message content	Respond to your inquiry

We do not collect wallet addresses, private keys, on-chain transaction data, or any information related to your use of the Ferros network through this Site.

1.2 Information collected automatically

When you visit the Site, certain information is collected automatically by our hosting provider:

• Server logs: IP address, browser type and version, operating system, referring URL, pages visited, date and time of access
• Performance data: Page load times and error logs collected by Cloudflare for security and performance optimization

We do not use analytics tracking scripts, advertising pixels, or fingerprinting technologies on this Site.

2. How we use your information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

• Newsletter delivery: To send you updates about Ferros development, testnet launches, and new content. You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in every email.
• Responding to inquiries: To reply to messages submitted through the contact form.
• Site operation and security: To maintain, protect, and improve the Site, and to detect and prevent abuse.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your personal information. We do not use your information for advertising or profiling.

3. Third-party services

We use a limited number of third-party services to operate the Site. Each processes data only as necessary to provide their service:

Service	Purpose	Data shared	Privacy policy
Cloudflare	Hosting, CDN, DDoS protection, serverless functions	IP address, request metadata (automatically via HTTP)	cloudflare.com/privacypolicy
Buttondown	Newsletter management and delivery	Email address (when you subscribe)	buttondown.com/legal/privacy
Resend	Transactional email delivery for contact form	Name, email address, message content (when you submit the contact form)	resend.com/legal/privacy-policy
Google Fonts	Font delivery (Inter, JetBrains Mono)	IP address, browser metadata (automatically via HTTP)	policies.google.com/privacy

4. Cookies and local storage

The Ferros website does not set first-party cookies. We do not use cookie-based analytics or tracking.

Cloudflare may set strictly necessary cookies (such as __cflb or __cf_bm) for load balancing and bot detection. These are functional cookies required for the Site to operate securely and do not track you across other websites.

5. Data retention

• Newsletter subscribers: Your email address is retained by Buttondown until you unsubscribe. Upon unsubscription, your email is removed from the active list.
• Contact form submissions: Messages are delivered to our team via email and retained in our email system. We do not maintain a separate database of contact form submissions.
• Server logs: Cloudflare retains server logs according to their data retention policies, typically no longer than necessary for security and operational purposes.

6. Your rights

Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have the right to:

• Access the personal information we hold about you
• Correct inaccurate personal information
• Delete your personal information
• Withdraw consent for processing (e.g., unsubscribe from the newsletter)
• Object to processing of your personal information
• Data portability — receive your data in a structured, machine-readable format

To exercise any of these rights, contact us at hello@ferros.xyz. We will respond within 30 days.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link in any email we send.

7. International data transfers

The Site is operated from infrastructure distributed globally via Cloudflare. If you access the Site from outside the United States, your information may be transferred to and processed in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. We rely on our service providers' compliance frameworks (including Standard Contractual Clauses where applicable) for lawful international transfers.

8. Children's privacy

The Site is not directed at children under the age of 13 (or the applicable age of digital consent in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at hello@ferros.xyz and we will delete it.

9. Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information, including:

• Serving all pages over HTTPS with TLS encryption
• Using Cloudflare's DDoS protection and Web Application Firewall
• Storing API keys as encrypted environment variables, never in client-side code
• Minimizing data collection to only what is necessary

No method of transmission or storage is 100% secure. While we strive to protect your information, we cannot guarantee absolute security.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make material changes, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
