Privacy Policy

DataBounty is operated by [x]cube LABS DBA Purple Talk, Inc. References to DataBounty, we, us, and our mean [x]cube LABS DBA Purple Talk, Inc. and the services we provide under the DataBounty name.

We collect information you provide directly, including account details, profile information, email address, role selections, bounty specifications, submissions, audit notes, support messages, and payment or payout-related information.

If you connect third-party accounts, such as Google sign-in or other profile-source integrations, we collect information authorized by you through that provider, such as account identifiers, email address, name, avatar, and basic profile metadata.

We also collect technical and usage data, including IP address, device and browser information, pages viewed, actions taken, timestamps, authentication events, API logs, security logs, cookie identifiers, wallet addresses, transaction references, and validation or execution metadata.

DataBounty processes bounty specifications, dataset items, attachments, test cases, validation logs, audit decisions, contamination checks, duplicate-detection signals, sandbox execution results, and quality-review outputs to operate the marketplace.

Some bounty, dataset, quality, delivery, reputation, and transaction information may be visible to sponsors, contributors, validators, administrators, or public marketplace visitors depending on the bounty status, role permissions, license terms, and product feature.

We use information to provide, secure, maintain, and improve DataBounty; authenticate users; enable sponsor, contributor, and validator workflows; process bounties, submissions, audits, payments, and payouts; prevent fraud and abuse; enforce platform rules; comply with legal obligations; and communicate service, security, product, and support updates.

We may use aggregated or de-identified information to understand marketplace performance, improve validation quality, debug product issues, and publish non-identifying platform statistics.

We use cookies, local storage, and similar technologies for authentication, security, session management, preferences, analytics, diagnostics, and product operations. You can control cookies through your browser settings, but disabling some cookies may affect sign-in or core marketplace functionality.

We share information with service providers and infrastructure vendors that help us run DataBounty, including cloud hosting, storage, database, analytics, email, authentication, validation, sandbox execution, blockchain, payments, compliance, and support providers.

We may share information with other users as necessary to operate bounty workflows, with law enforcement or regulators when required, to protect rights and safety, or as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, or sale of assets.

Wallet addresses, transaction hashes, escrow activity, and token transfer records may be public on the relevant blockchain. We do not control public blockchain networks and cannot delete or alter blockchain records.

We keep information for as long as needed to provide DataBounty, comply with legal and accounting obligations, resolve disputes, enforce agreements, maintain security, support audits, and preserve marketplace integrity. Retention periods vary based on the type of data and the reason it is processed.

We use administrative, technical, and organizational safeguards designed to protect information. No system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee that unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or alteration will never occur.

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, export, restrict, or object to certain processing of your personal information. You may also disconnect third-party integrations or request account support.

Some information may be retained where required for security, fraud prevention, legal compliance, dispute resolution, audit integrity, payment records, or legitimate marketplace operations.

DataBounty is not intended for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we make material changes, we will update the date above and may provide additional notice through the service or other reasonable means.
