Privacy Policy

Sidepot.fun, LLC operates the kapiche Service. Privacy contact: privacy@kapiche.fun, 30 N Gould St, Suite R, Sheridan, WY 82801.

• Account: phone number (SMS is the primary login), and optionally email, name/username, avatar, and login identifiers from Privy / Google / Apple if you use them.
• Profile & social graph: Circles, friends/participants, and pots you create or join.
• Activity & reputation: predictions, pot outcomes, and settlement records (who owes whom, amount, rail, status, timing) used to compute Oracle and Settle Scores.
• Public blockchain data: wallet addresses you connect and onchain transaction data we read to verify settlements and proof-of-funds. This is public ledger data; we read it, we do not control your wallet.
• Device/usage: IP address, approximate location (may be used to help restrict real-money features by jurisdiction), device and app analytics.
• What we do NOT collect: we do not take custody of funds, and we do not collect or store your wallet private keys or third-party payment-app credentials.

To provide the Service; compute and display reputation; verify settlements via public blockchain data; mirror and display read-only third-party market data for discovery; enforce eligibility (18+ age gate; real-money features are restricted in certain states, enforced primarily through your eligibility attestation and the no-circumvention term, and we may add location-based blocking); prevent fraud/abuse and gaming of reputation; provide support; send service and (with consent where required) marketing messages; and comply with law.

Performance of contract; legitimate interests (security, reputation integrity, product improvement); consent (certain communications/cookies); legal obligation.

• With other users (profiles are PRIVATE by default - opt-in): On public and discovery surfaces (the leaderboard, discover feed, public pots, search, comments, and your profile page) we show only an anonymized identifier ("Private predictor") plus a public-safe reputation snapshot. Your username, name, and avatar are shown publicly ONLY if you turn on the Public profile toggle. Regardless of that toggle, your identity is shown to people you have a direct relationship with (accepted friends, direct-message and pot/Circle counterparties, and settlement parties), since you already transact with them.
• Reputation is public by design: your Oracle and Settle scores and tiers carry no name, wallet, or contact details and are shown next to your (possibly anonymized) entry on public surfaces so others can gauge trust. They stay visible even while your identity is private.
• Service providers: auth, hosting/database (Supabase), analytics, payments/subscription billing, and on-ramp partners, under contract and only as needed.
• Third-party market data: we read public market data from Polymarket's public API to mirror objective questions for discovery and auto-resolution. We do not send Polymarket your personal information to do so.
• Legal/safety: to comply with law, enforce Terms, or protect rights and safety.
• Business transfers: in a merger, acquisition, or asset sale (consistent with this Policy).
• We do not sell your personal information, and we do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising.

Blockchain transactions are public, permanent, and outside our control; a wallet address you use may be linkable to your activity. Fiat payments happen inside third-party apps under their privacy policies; we do not receive your payment-app login or full financial details. Settlement records we keep reflect that a settlement occurred (parties, amount, rail, status, time), used for reputation.

We retain account, activity, reputation, and settlement records for as long as your account is active and as needed for the Service, reputation integrity, dispute history, and legal/audit obligations. Note: reputation depends on historical settlement records, so some history is retained to keep scores meaningful.

Subject to your jurisdiction (e.g., GDPR/UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA): access, correction, deletion, portability, restriction/objection, and (where applicable) opt-out of sale/share or targeted advertising, and non-discrimination for exercising rights. To exercise, email privacy@kapiche.fun. You may control notifications in-app and unsubscribe from marketing. Note that onchain data and some settlement records cannot be erased from the blockchain.

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures (for example RLS on settlement data so only the parties and authorized service processes can access it). No method is 100% secure. Because the model is non-custodial, we never hold your funds or keys, which limits financial exposure from a breach.

The Service is not directed to anyone under 18, and real-money features require users to be 18+. We do not knowingly collect data from children; if we learn we have, we will delete it.

If you use the Service outside the United States, your data may be processed in the United States under appropriate safeguards.

We may update this Policy; material changes notified by posting the updated Policy here and, where appropriate, by email or in-app notice. Questions or requests: privacy@kapiche.fun.
