8004scan

Privacy Policy

Effective as of November 3, 2025

This Privacy Policy describes how 8004scan ("we," "us," or "our") collects, uses, discloses, and safeguards information in connection with our blockchain explorer services for the ERC-8004 protocol.

1. Non-Custodial Design

8004scan is built on a non-custodial architecture:

  • No custody of funds: We do not hold, control, or have access to your cryptocurrency or private keys
  • Client-side connections: Browser wallets connect directly to blockchain networks from your device
  • Embedded wallets: Wallet authentication is provided via Privy, which uses secure enclave technology
  • Your control: You maintain complete control over your assets and authentication at all times

2. Information We Collect

A. Information You Provide Directly

  • Wallet Addresses: Public blockchain identifiers when you connect your wallet
  • Sign-In With Ethereum: Authentication signatures and messages
  • Agent Metadata: Information you submit when registering or updating agents
  • Reputation & Validation Data: Feedback and validation you provide for agents
  • Optional Contact Information: Email addresses, if you choose to provide them
  • Support Communications: Messages and inquiries you send to our support team

B. Blockchain & Transaction Data

  • Public Blockchain Data: Transaction hashes, block numbers, timestamps, and smart contract interactions
  • Agent Registry Data: Agent registrations, metadata updates, and ownership transfers
  • Reputation Events: On-chain reputation feedback and scores
  • Validation Events: Validation submissions and completions

C. Automatic Collection

  • Usage Data: Pages viewed, features used, search queries, time spent on the platform
  • Device Information: Browser type, operating system, IP address, device identifiers
  • Analytics Data: We use analytics tools to understand usage patterns and improve our services
  • Cookies & Local Storage: See our Cookie Policy for details

3. How We Use Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide Services: Operate and maintain the 8004scan platform
  • Display Blockchain Data: Show public blockchain data related to ERC-8004 agents
  • Authenticate Users: Verify wallet ownership and manage authentication sessions
  • Process Transactions: Facilitate interactions with the ERC-8004 protocol

  • Personalize Experience: Remember your preferences and settings
  • Communicate: Send service updates, security alerts, and support responses
  • Ensure Security: Detect and prevent fraud, abuse, and security threats
  • Legal Compliance: Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service

4. Public Blockchain Data

Important: Transactions, wallet addresses, and agent data on blockchain networks are public and immutable. This means:

  • Permanent Record: Blockchain data cannot be deleted, modified, or hidden
  • Publicly Accessible: Anyone can view, copy, analyze, and redistribute blockchain data
  • Not Private: Blockchain transactions are designed to be transparent and verifiable
  • Beyond Our Control: We cannot alter or remove data recorded on blockchain networks

8004scan simply indexes and displays this already-public data. We do not create or control blockchain records.
