Privacy Policy
At Lumora, we are committed to protecting your privacy, preserving user autonomy, and upholding the values of decentralization. This Privacy Policy outlines how Lumora ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and safeguards your data when you interact with our browser extension, website, and services.
This document applies to all users of the Lumora platform, including but not limited to those who install the Lumora browser extension, participate in the bandwidth-sharing protocol, access our website, or interact with our community and communication channels.
1. Overview of Our Approach to Privacy
Lumora is built on principles of user sovereignty, minimal data collection, and transparency. Our goal is to provide a decentralized data access infrastructure that respects individual privacy while enabling secure, incentivized participation in a shared bandwidth economy.
We operate under a strict data minimization policy, collecting only what is necessary to facilitate core functionality such as bandwidth contribution tracking, performance optimization, token distribution, and fraud prevention.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
Lumora does not collect, store, or access the following:
- Your personal browsing history
- Search engine queries
- Login credentials
- Cookies or session tokens from other websites
- Personal files, communications, or media on your device
- Detailed geolocation (beyond high-level IP-based location, only when needed for fraud prevention)
Our browser extension does not track or index your online behavior, and it does not inject any trackers or analytics into your browsing experience.
3. Information We May Collect
We only collect limited and non-identifiable information required to operate the Lumora protocol, ensure fair $LMR token distribution, and maintain system integrity. This includes:
a. Extension Metrics
- Bandwidth Shared: Anonymized data volume shared through the extension
- Uptime: Session duration and network availability to determine reward eligibility
- Node Status: Diagnostics to monitor extension health and stability
- Region (Non-precise): Derived from IP address for bandwidth distribution optimization
b. Website Interactions (lumoratoken.ai)
- Basic Analytics: Page views, session duration, and referring URLs using privacy-first tools
- Whitelist Submissions: If you sign up for early access or updates, we may collect your email address and optional Telegram or X (Twitter) handle
c. Communications
- Support Requests: We may retain communication records for support or abuse prevention
- Bug Reports or Feedback: Submitted data related to product testing or reporting
Important: We never sell, rent, or trade user data under any circumstances.
4. Token Distribution and Smart Contracts
$LMR token rewards are calculated using extension metrics and disbursed via smart contracts on the blockchain. While blockchain transactions are public, Lumora does not tie wallet addresses to personal identities unless explicitly provided.
5. Use of Data
The data we collect is used solely for:
- Calculating $LMR token rewards
- Optimizing extension performance and network routing
- Detecting fraudulent behavior
- Providing user support and resolving issues
- Enabling future features such as staking, node delegation, and governance
6. Data Storage and Security
- All transmitted data is end-to-end encrypted during transport
- We employ decentralized or ephemeral storage methods where possible
- No sensitive personal information is stored on centralized servers
- Access to operational systems is restricted to authorized personnel only
7. Data Sharing and Third Parties
We do not share your data with third parties except for:
- Infrastructure Providers: For hosting the website, running APIs, or delivering email updates
- Legal Obligations: If required by law or court order, we may be compelled to share minimal retained data
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Lumora does not use third-party tracking cookies or pixel beacons. Only essential, privacy-friendly session cookies are used where necessary.
9. User Rights and Controls
You can:
- Uninstall the Extension
- Withdraw from Whitelist/Email Updates
- Request deletion of any optional personal data submitted
- Request a copy of any data we may have associated with your use
