Your data, your privacy, and account removal

YOM’s data model is deliberately minimal. The network identifies you by wallet address. The wallet address is public on Avalanche regardless of what we do. This page lays out exactly what we store, what’s on-chain (and therefore permanent), and what you can have us delete.

what YOM stores about you

In our backend database, tied to your wallet address:

• Display name if you set one (otherwise just the abbreviated address)
• Avatar URL if you uploaded one
• Profile preferences (language, notification settings)
• Quest progress (which quests you’ve completed)
• Session history per host (when, which game, duration)
• Earnings history per session (settled and pending)
• Referral relationships (who referred you, who you referred)
• Hardware results from rig checks you’ve run (anonymized hardware identifiers, not full system fingerprints)
• Telemetry from your hosts (uptime, latency, heartbeat data)

That’s it. We don’t store:

• Email addresses (unless you provided one for a newsletter or contact submission, in which case it’s in a separate marketing database)
• Browser fingerprints
• IP addresses long-term (we keep recent IPs in logs for security purposes only, rotated after 30 days)
• Anything you didn’t put in yourself

what’s on-chain (and therefore permanent)

Anything that touched the blockchain is not deletable. By design. The blockchain is the public, immutable record. Specifically:

• Your wallet address (used as your identity)
• Token transfers in and out of your wallet ($YOM payouts, NFT license trades, etc.)
• Smart-contract interactions you signed (claiming a quest reward, registering a NANO via on-chain attestation)

All of this is public on Snowtrace regardless. Deletion of YOM’s database records doesn’t remove these.

downloading your data

You can request a copy of everything in our database tied to your wallet. Send a request via the contact page with your wallet address and the message “Data download request”. We’ll respond within 30 days with a JSON export of all the records listed above.

This is a manual process today. A self-service export endpoint is on the roadmap but not currently live.

deleting your account

What “deletion” means here:

1. Profile data: removed from our database. Display name, avatar, preferences are gone.
2. Quest progress: cleared. You can re-do quests with a new wallet if you want.
3. Session and earnings records: anonymized. We keep the aggregate session data (for network statistics) but disassociate it from your wallet address.
4. Telemetry from your hosts: aggregated and anonymized.

What “deletion” cannot mean (because of the chain):

1. The wallet address itself: public forever
2. On-chain transactions: public forever
3. Token balance: you control it; we can’t touch it

To request deletion, send a message via the contact page with your wallet address and “Account deletion request”. A signature from your wallet is required to verify ownership (we’ll send the message to sign in our response). After verification, deletion happens within 30 days.

If you later sign in again with the same wallet, you’ll be a fresh account from our database’s perspective. The chain history is still there, but our records of you are starting over.

what we share with third parties

Practically nothing.

• Google Analytics / GTM: aggregated, anonymized site usage. No wallet addresses, no personal identifiers.
• Particle Network: handles your wallet sign-in. They see the social provider (Google, Apple, etc.) and the resulting wallet address. Their privacy policy applies to that flow.
• Snowtrace / RPC nodes: when we read your wallet’s on-chain state (token balance, NFT ownership), we hit public RPC endpoints. The RPC operators see the read request.

We don’t sell data. We don’t share session data with game studios beyond the aggregate session counts they need for billing and reporting. We don’t run ad-network tracking pixels on app.yom.net.

GDPR / EU residents

If you’re in the EU, you have specific rights under GDPR around your personal data. The data-download and account-deletion flows above satisfy the “access” and “erasure” rights. The contact channel is support@yom.net for any GDPR-specific request.

YOM B.V. (Netherlands) and YOM UK Ltd. are the legal entities holding the data. Full legal info lives in the privacy policy.

one note on wallet-level privacy

The wallet address you use on YOM is the same wallet address visible on every chain it transacts on. If you also use this wallet for DeFi, NFT trades, Twitter (with public address linking), etc., everything is correlated. YOM doesn’t link your YOM activity to that broader address history, but anyone can do it themselves by reading Snowtrace.

If pseudonymity matters to you, use a fresh wallet specifically for YOM. Particle social login is easy for this: sign up with a fresh Google account and you get a fresh wallet that’s not linked to anything else.
