Privacy Policy
This policy explains the information involved when you use ArcNS on Arc. Public blockchain activity is visible and should not be treated as private.
Last updated: September 13, 2026
Current service status
ArcNS uses public blockchain infrastructure. Transactions are irreversible; users should verify the network, recipient, price, contract addresses, and wallet prompts before signing.
Information processed
The app may process wallet addresses, name-search input, network information, and transaction data needed to display and submit interactions. Wallet and name records written to Arcare public blockchain data and may be indexed or retained by independent infrastructure providers.
Infrastructure and third parties
The app may rely on wallet providers, RPC endpoints, indexers, hosting services, and public blockchain explorers. Those independent services may process technical data under their own policies. ArcNS makes no promise that third-party infrastructure will remain available.
No financial or legal promise
This policy does not create a financial guarantee, legal representation, fiduciary relationship, or promise concerning the value, permanence, availability, or portability of any name.
