Privacy Policy
Last Updated: April 1, 2022
Sunrises LLC. d/b/a In Writing (âIn Writing,â âweâ, âusâ, or âourâ) is
committed to protecting your privacy. We have prepared this Privacy Policy
to describe to you our practices regarding the Personal Data (as defined
below) we collect, use, and share in connection with the In Writing
website, mobile app, and other software provided on or in connection with
our services, as described in our Terms of Service (collectively, the
âServiceâ). âNFTâ in this Privacy Policy means a non-fungible token or
similar digital item implemented on a blockchain (such as the Polygon
blockchain), which uses smart contracts to link to or otherwise be
associated with certain content or data.
1. Types of Data We Collect.
âPersonal Dataâ means data that allows someone to identify you
individually, including, for example, your name, email address, as well as
any other non-public information about you that is associated with or
linked to any of the foregoing. âAnonymous Dataâ means data, including
aggregated and de-identified data, that is not associated with or linked
to your Personal Data; Anonymous Data does not, by itself, permit the
identification of individual persons. We collect Personal Data and
Anonymous Data as described below.
a. Information You Provide Us.
When you use our Service, update your account profile, or contact us, we
may collect Personal Data from you, such as email address, first and last
name, user name, and other information you provide. We also collect your
blockchain address, which may become associated with Personal Data when
you use our Service. Our Service lets you store preferences like how your
content is displayed, notification settings, and favorites. We may
associate these choices with your ID, browser, or mobile device. If you
provide us with feedback or contact us, we will collect your name and
contact information, as well as any other content included in the message.
We may also collect Personal Data at other points in our Service where you
voluntarily provide it or where we state that Personal Data is being
collected.
b. Information Collected via Technology.
As you navigate through and interact with our Service, we may use
automatic data collection technologies to collect certain information
about your equipment, browsing actions, and patterns, including:
Information Collected by Our Servers. To provide our Service and make it
more useful to you, we (or a third party service provider) collect
information from you, including, but not limited to, your browser type,
operating system, Internet Protocol (âIPâ) address, mobile device ID,
blockchain address, wallet type, and date/time stamps. Log Files. As is
true of most websites and applications, we gather certain information
automatically and store it in log files. This information includes IP
addresses, browser type, Internet service provider (âISPâ), referring/exit
pages, operating system, date/time stamps, and clickstream data. We use
this information to analyze trends, administer the Service, track usersâ
movements around the Service, and better tailor our Services to our usersâ
needs. For example, some of the information may be collected so that when
you visit the Service, it will recognize you and the information can be
used to personalize your experience. Cookies. Like many online services,
we use cookies to collect information. We may use both session Cookies
(which expire once you close your web browser) and persistent Cookies
(which stay on your computer until you delete them) to analyze how users
interact with our Service, make improvements to our product quality, and
provide users with a more personalized experience. How We Respond to Do
Not Track Signals. Our systems do not currently recognize âdo not trackâ
signals or other mechanisms that might enable Users to opt out of tracking
on our site.
c. Information Collected from Third-Party Companies.
We may
receive Personal and/or Anonymous Data about you from companies that offer
their products and/or services for use in conjunction with our Service or
whose products and/or services may be linked from our Service. For
example, third-party wallet providers provide us with your blockchain
address and certain other information you choose to share with those
wallets providers. We may add this to the data we have already collected
from or about you through our Service.
d. Public Information Observed from Blockchains.
We collect data from activity that is publicly visible and/or accessible
on blockchains. This may include blockchain addresses and information
regarding purchases, sales, or transfers of NFTs, which may then be
associated with other data you have provided to us.
2. Use of Your Personal Data.
a. We process your Personal Data to run our business, provide the Service,
personalize your experience on the Service, and improve the Service.
Specifically, we use your Personal Data to: facilitate the creation of and
secure your account; identify you as a user in our system; provide you
with our Service, including, but not limited to, helping you view,
explore, and create NFTs using our tools and, at your own discretion,
connect directly with others to purchase, sell, or transfer NFTs on public
blockchains; improve the administration of our Service and quality of
experience when you interact with our Service, including, but not limited
to, by analyzing how you and other users find and interact with the

such third parties or their products, content, or websites.

engage in transactions on public blockchains. Your interactions with any
third-party wallet provider are governed by the applicable terms of
service and privacy policy of that third party.
6. Your Choices Regarding Information.

Protection Regulations (âGDPRâ). These include the right to (i) request
access and obtain a copy of your personal data; (ii) request rectification
or erasure; (iii) object to or restrict the processing of your personal
data; and (iv) request portability of your personal data. Additionally, if

do not have custody or control over any blockchains. The information
stored on the blockchain may include purchases, sales, and transfers
related to your blockchain address and NFTs held at that address.
8. Data Retention.
We may retain your Personal Data as long as you continue to use the
Service, have an account with us, or for as long as is necessary to
fulfill the purposes outlined in this Privacy Policy. We may continue to

legitimate interests. Where your Personal Data is no longer required for
these purposes, we will delete it.
9. Data Protection.
We care about the security of your information and use physical,
administrative, and technological safeguards to preserve the integrity and
security of information collected through our Service. However, no
security system is impenetrable and we cannot guarantee the security of
our systems. In the event that any information under our custody and
control is compromised as a result of a breach of security, we will take
steps to investigate and remediate the situation and, in accordance with
applicable laws and regulations, notify those individuals whose
information may have been compromised.
a. You are responsible for the security of your digital wallet, and we
urge you to take steps to ensure it is and remains secure. If you discover
an issue related to your wallet, please contact your wallet provider.

years old. Minors who are at least 13 years old but are under 18 years old
may use a parent or guardianâs In Writing account, but only with the
involvement of the account holder. If a child under 13 submits Personal
Data to In Writing and we learn that the Personal Data is the information
of a child under 13, we will attempt to delete the information as soon as
possible. If you believe that we might have any Personal Data from a child
under 13, please contact us by using the âSubmit a requestâ link here or
at the address indicated in Section 13 below.

laws regarding processing of Personal Data may be less stringent than the
laws in your country. By providing your Personal Data, you consent to such
transfer.
