Privacy Policy

Last modified: 16/10/2026

1. Introduction

Welcome to PeerLoot (“we,” “us,” or “our”). This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, disclose, and safeguard your information when you visit our website, PeerLoot.com, and use our services (collectively, the “Service”).

Our core philosophy is to protect user privacy. We have designed our platform from the ground up to minimize data collection, and we only collect additional information where the law requires it.

Please read this privacy policy carefully. If you do not agree with the terms of this privacy policy, please do not access the site.

2. Our Commitment to Privacy

We believe in your right to privacy. We collect only what we need, protect it carefully, and never sell it.

  • Data Minimization: We only collect the minimum information necessary to operate the Service, secure your account, facilitate transactions, and comply with our legal obligations.
  • Identity Verification Only When Required: Browsing, signing up, and trading require only a username, email address, and password. Before you can withdraw funds, we are legally required to verify your identity.
  • Never Sold: We never sell, rent, or trade your personal data.

3. Information We Collect

To provide our Service, we collect the following types of information:

A. Information You Provide to Us

  • Account Information: When you create a PeerLoot account, we collect a username, an email address, and a password. We do not require your real name to create an account.
  • Identity Verification Information: Before you withdraw funds, we collect identity verification information as required by applicable anti-money-laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) laws. This may include your full name, date of birth, country of residence, a government-issued ID document, and a selfie or liveness check. [Verification provider: name your provider here.]
  • Communications: If you contact our support team or communicate with us in any way, we will collect your email address and the content of your messages.

B. Information We Collect Automatically

  • Transaction Information: As a crypto-exclusive marketplace, all transactions are recorded on public blockchains. We collect and display public transaction data, such as your public wallet addresses and transaction hashes, as necessary to confirm and display trades on the platform. Once you complete identity verification, this information is associated with your verified account as required by law.
  • Log and Usage Data: Like most websites, our servers automatically record information (“Log Data”) when you use the Service. This Log Data may include your Internet Protocol (IP) address, browser type, operating system, the pages you visit, and timestamps. This information is used primarily for security, fraud prevention, and to maintain the stability of our Service.

4. How We Use Your Information

We use the limited information we collect for the following purposes:

  • To Provide and Maintain Our Service: To create and manage your account, facilitate transactions, and provide customer support.
  • To Improve Our Service: To understand how users interact with our platform so we can improve the user experience.
  • To Communicate With You: To respond to your inquiries and send you important service-related notifications, such as transaction confirmations and security alerts.
  • For Security and Fraud Prevention: To monitor for and prevent malicious activity, spam, and security incidents.
  • To Comply With Legal Obligations: To verify your identity before withdrawals and to meet anti-money-laundering, sanctions, and other legal requirements.

5. How We Share Your Information

We are committed to not sharing your information, except in the limited circumstances described below:

  • With Other Users: Your PeerLoot username is publicly visible to other users when you create listings or engage in trades.
  • For Legal Reasons: We may disclose your information if we are required to do so by law, subpoena, or other legal process, or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (i) comply with a legal obligation, (ii) protect the safety of any person, or (iii) address fraud, security, or technical issues.
  • With Verification Providers: If we use a third-party identity verification provider, we share only the information needed to complete verification, and the provider processes it on our behalf.
  • With Your Consent: We may share your information with third parties if you have given us your explicit consent to do so.

We do not sell, rent, or trade your information to third parties for marketing purposes.

6. Cookies

We use cookies and similar tracking technologies to operate and personalize our Service. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that help us with functions such as keeping you logged in and remembering your preferences. You can instruct your browser to refuse all cookies or to indicate when a cookie is being sent. However, if you do not accept cookies, you may not be able to use some portions of our Service.

7. Data Security and Retention

We implement robust security measures designed to protect your information. These include encryption, access controls, and secure server infrastructure. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure. While we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

We keep account information for as long as your account is active. Identity verification records are kept only for the period required by law and are then securely deleted.

8. Children’s Privacy

Our Service is not intended for or directed at individuals under the age of 18. We do not knowingly collect any information from children under 18. If we become aware that we have collected information from a child under 18, we will take steps to delete such information from our files.

9. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page and updating the “Effective Date” at the top. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically for any changes.
